The Franchise-class applies the Federation's core business principle to combat: scale through delegation. A single pilot commands a swarm of autonomous drones for mining, defense, or area denial. The massive CPU array coordinates drone operations while the cargo bay stores replacement units. The Federation's marketing materials describe it as "a fleet in a single hull" — which is accurate, if you squint.
