Dimensional Fold

The Dimensional Fold-class applies Voidborn compression technology to commercial hauling at capital scale. Cargo bay volume is multiplied by partial phase-shifting into compressed dimensional pockets — the ship's internal volume exceeds its external dimensions by a factor that other empires' physicists refuse to acknowledge. Thirteen hundred and eighty cargo capacity in a hull that external measurements suggest should hold 300. The dimensional fold requires constant shield power to maintain stability, explaining the nine hundred shield points. The crew walks through corridors that instruments measure as shorter than the distance between the walls.
