Developed in a secret lab in Australia, the Angelus Project is designed to be as light and nimble as possible, opting to challenge their opponents through pure speed and handling, as opposed to using violent means. Many pilots can use it and come in a decent place, but it takes true skill to make the best of it's power and handling. The advanced boost module allows for a higher speed output and amount of time the boost is in effect when a successful barrel roll is performed, however it costs 30% Energy.

To save weight, the Angelus cannot use most weapons, a choice encouraged by the manufacturer's main ideals of using speed and handling as opposed to violence. However, that does not mean the craft is completely defenseless. It's main form of offense is an AG Race Commission-approved laser weapon that works similar to the Cannon, however, it is slightly more powerful and contains 50 rounds, rather than the cannon's 30. The weapons system does contain a secret, however. By using a weight saving exploit in the system itself, the weapons system is strong enough to use the Plasma, though it's less likely to be picked up, most of the time the craft will pick up it's Laser Cannon instead.

For it's defense, the Angelus is just as restricted as it's offensive capabilities. Because the device is too heavy, and as such would compromise the weight and handling, the Angelus cannot use the Bomb, however it can use the Mines. The other only defense weapons it can use are the Turbo and the Shield. Additionally, Team Angelus obtained shielding technology from fellow Australian team Triakis, and as such the Angelus has a moderately strong shielding system that weighs as little as possible.

The Angelus' body is sleek and extremely aerodynamic, it has one of the smallest heights from base to peak, yet it can seat its pilot in considerable comfort. Even at night, the Angelus is an extremely beautiful craft, sporting azure neon lights around the craft. Upon unveiling the craft to the public, critics have claimed that the body of the Angelus is one of the best in the world, and combined with its equipment, could be considerable competition to even the veterans of the AG League, such as FEISAR and AG Systems.

Following the unveiling of Crinale Technologies, Inc. and their ideals of domination via violent means, Team Angelus were contacted by Icelandic team Wyvern Aeronautical Research, who were calling for a trading deal between the two teams against Crinale. Angelus promptly accepted the alliance and the two teams, along with any other team who follow the Belmondo ideal are working to bring Team Crinale down.
