Lore
The Federation learned that the margins on bulk ice hauling are razor-thin — volume only scales profitably when extraction efficiency scales with it. The Ice Dividend was redesigned around that insight: dual precision harvesters that pull usable crystalline material from ice bodies at a rate no other harvester in production can match. The cargo expander ensures each trip carries enough to justify the extraction time. Unarmed, because the cost of a weapon mount is measured in cargo space that could be earning returns. The name isn't aspirational — it's a description of what the quarterly report shows.
