Ordinance

Every CPU cycle accounted for, every fitting slot committed, nothing left over for second-guessing. The Pact builds the Ordinance when supply lines are short and the mission cannot wait — a hull that can be fabricated from materials the Fleet stockpiles regardless of trade conditions, at half the build time of anything else in its class. No utility slots, no redundant systems, no concessions to pilot comfort. Not the ship you want for a prolonged campaign. Exactly the ship you want when you need six of them by morning.
