Standing Order
Sovereign Crix's flagship. A Crimson Overlord without the drone command module, sensor cluster, and Crimson siege plating that defined the original. The command suite is intact. The fleet coordination systems are intact. The weapon mounts are intact. Crix is the only pirate warlord in the sector who actually uses all of these as designed. The fury alloy and durasteel are gone — the rebuilt hull takes hits harder. This has not changed how Crix runs the operation.

The Crimson Fleet uses the Overlord to coordinate battle groups because Crimson doctrine requires coordination to function — individual ships don't win engagements, formations do. Crix uses the Standing Order for the same reason, which puts him in unusual company for a pirate warlord. The drone command module and sensor cluster couldn't be sourced. The fury alloy and siege plating are gone; the hull takes hits harder for it. The command suite is intact, running fleet-wide targeting, formation management, and coordinated fire concentration on salvage electronics — slightly less precisely and substantially more paranoidly, which Crix has found to be an improvement. The Crix Stronghold station has a layout. This is noted because pirate stations generally don't. The Standing Order is the reason the station has one: when the flagship issues a formation order, the operation needs to be configured to receive it.
