T4 The Frontier Golden Age · 2240–2246 Merchant derived
What her era can carry. Kinetics baseline. Coil and rail accelerators, finite magazines, point defence, interceptors.
The era that fights a war. The boundary-weapon family is FOUNDED here — the lance descends from the S1B2 coupling aimed at a target's harmonic relationship — and is new, rare and barely understood at the close.
Merchant. Holds and margins. Ordinarily unarmed; a merchant with a magazine is a plot point, not a default.
⚠ A ceiling, not a fit — what a hull of this class could carry in this era, derived from the capability ladder rather than stated for this ship. She may well carry less; she is never shown carrying more. Source: Era tier T4 (bible/48 §3.1 lineage; S11-ENDGAME-LOCK.md) · role inferred from class/description.

Frontier hauler — 11 souls + a hold of seed stock.
Role
The concrete demonstration of the Dewan method (go-dark / distrust-the-network routing) in Ch15 — the hauler that arrives late and alive, the disaster-that-never-happened that earns no gratitude (the chapter's quiet thesis).
Compiled from the canon file for this hull. Only sections that are settled canon are shown — drafting notes and anything belonging to an unpublished book are held back.
