Side-elevation schematic. T-class traverse vessel, third generation — the Magnusdóttir
line's successor to the NV Erika. Built at Bergen Repair Yards, commissioned 2162.
A run ship, not a diplomatic vessel; her four-stack harmonic array and 0.012% drift
envelope sit a generation ahead of the Erika's two-stack. Length 142 metres;
crew 18–22; the observation deck kept, by design philosophy, unchanged. Her name is the
crew's — an engineer logged a persistent error 0.012% across all stacks, no apparent
mechanism, and it stuck.

The name is the crew's, not the institution's — a run ship, the Erika's four-stack
successor, sent on the first deliberate first-contact mission because her First Navigator is
the one who knows how not to break it. The error the institution decided is the right kind of wrong.
