The CAM 117 was designed around its main armament, an NA 117 particle accelerator that took up 1/3 of the ship's mass. The CAM 117's armor was kept to a minimum in the belief that its fast speed would be able to keep it from harm. However, by the time the CAM 117 saw combat the average speed of warships had increased to the point where its advantage was not nearly as great as had been assumed.

| - The CAM 117 was designed around its main armament, an NA 117 particle accelerator that took up 1/3 of the ship's mass. The CAM 117's armor was kept to a minimum in the belief that its fast speed would be able to keep it from harm. However, by the time the CAM 117 saw combat the average speed of warships had increased to the point where its advantage was not nearly as great as had been assumed. In 2052, 28 CAM 117s were forced into service at the desperate Battle for Mars, where they were forced to operate outside of the parameters which they had been designed. Only 19 CAM 117s survived the battle, all of them having depleted their fuel and needing to be hauled back to port. Like its other outdated warships, the TDA presumably retired the CAM 117 at the end of the war in 2068. By 2100 only one CAM 117 remained, a shell in the War Museum in need of repair.
