Known Quantity
Admiral Kael's flagship. A Solarian Axiomata with its committee-approved fire control replaced by salvage electronics and its range left completely intact. Kael operates out of the most isolated stronghold in the sector. He needs a ship that goes the distance, not one that files good paperwork.

Lore
Admiral Kael runs the most isolated pirate operation in the sector — sixteen systems with no empire borders, no convenient traffic lanes, and no natural allies. The Xamidimura arsenal is well-stocked and well-guarded because those are the two things Kael refuses to compromise on. Everything else is negotiable.
He chose the Axiomata because the Solarian design philosophy is actually correct: layered defense, measured fire, exceptional range. He replaced the precision Solarian electronics with salvage equivalents, lost some shield coherence, and kept the fuel range that lets the Known Quantity operate far from any friendly port. The massive CPU array runs targeting and fleet analysis rather than committee documentation. Kael considers this an upgrade. Six weapons, four defense slots, and the judgment to know exactly when to use them and when to wait.
