Fleet doctrine classifies asteroid fields as territory, and territory requires fire superiority. The Siege Drill mounts dual railguns alongside its mining laser — slow-firing electromagnetic accelerators that resolve claim disputes at range, before the other party closes to where things get complicated. The mining laser works the asteroid while the railguns discourage approach from any direction. Fleet engineers used every available CPU cycle fitting the loadout, which means the ship does exactly what it was designed for and nothing else. Nobody buys a Siege Drill for the cargo capacity.
