Axiomata

The Axiomata-class applies the Confederacy's fundamental design principle: every subsystem should make every other subsystem more effective. Six weapon mounts feed targeting data back into the defensive grid. Four defense slots generate shield harmonics that improve sensor resolution. The result is a warship that gets measurably more dangerous the longer an engagement lasts, as its onboard systems accumulate tactical data and optimize in real time. The design process took seven years. Three of those were spent on the sensor-weapon feedback loop alone. Solarian captains receive a 400-page operating manual. Most of them read it.
