Lore
The Excessive Force-class carries enough drone bays to darken a sensor screen. Rim drone warfare philosophy scales up the same way Rim engineering scales up everything: more of it, faster, with less regard for matching specifications. The drone complement is assembled from whatever was available at the last three ports — attack drones, mining drones, reconnaissance drones, and a few that the crew can't positively identify but which seem aggressive. The name is what opposing captains file in their after-action reports.
