## Considerations The mission of many vessels, especially "military" oriented (the lines of military and civilian are in flux in the post-caste world) are built around the need to secure sectors, protect the flow of relay vessels and preempt attacks from rival societies. As a result long orbiting patrols are common, with inertial manuvers built on brachistochrone trajectories in a local system to cycle patrol a system and other vessels in asterisms meant to protect the movement of warp relays and relay vessels. A lot of military tech uses plexus developed information technology, but a lot of hardware is built by the VC and [[Grand Assembly]] around the dominant clades their societies have and the organization sought by their doctrinal thought. The VC can't stand inequality even in military matters, their vessels usually are extremely standardized as a result and built around coordinate swarm doctrines meant to use the thought of neural tribes to control numerous vessels in clustered asterisms. Meanwhile the more hierarchical Grand Assembly follows a more superficially similar force, but do not be fooled. It isn't a 1-1 copy of 20th century naval fleets. The use of operator agency and mixed command ops to allow for autonomous local actions by captains is a regular behavior found, even if it isn't to the degree of "competitive rivalries" of an [[utanguis|Utanguis]] packmaster group as that kind of Machiavellian thinking is regarded a treachery and treachery is despised in the Grand Assembly. It is the duty of an operator corp to act in the interests of the assembly first, not have tyrannical ambitions. Terran militaries are more based around large numbers and looks borderline Soviet in many regards, with large amounts of low ranking pilots who are lead by commanders that are the heros of the mission who follow what the admiral ordained by earth's protector general want. ![[Drone Carrier]] ![[Virtual Makercraft]] ![[Multilateral Strikectaft]] ![[Datacruiser]] ![[High Energy Guardian Vessels (HEGVs)]] ![[Missile Merchant]] ![[Missile Types]] ![[Makercraft]] ![[Drone Corvette]] ![[Plexus Drones]] #synthetic/automata #technology #spaceship #military #Galactic-Region/plexus
