Autonomous Nanosatellite Guardian Evaluating Local Space, more commonly called ANGELS, is a small satellite developed by the United States of America. Each ANGELS is a cylindrical satellite about the size of a wastepaper basket. Their primary purpose is to monitor other satellites. However, the JSF had managed to have several ANGELS be modified into low-power laser weapons and orbiting bombs, capable of attaching themselves to other satellites and self-destructing. These weaponised ANGELS were still in the prototype stage by the time of WWIII however.

ANGELS appear in the EndWar novelisation and are used in the ISS crisis to destroy the ISS before it can threaten American Kinetic Strike platforms.[1]

Behind the Scenes

  • ANGELS are a real technology that was being developed around the time of EndWar's development.
