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.
Converted. Whatever her donor hull had, plus whatever the conversion managed before the schedule ran out.

The record
Class and design
A small salvage rig working out of Spindrift — its name painted fresh over an older one, as everything on Spindrift is painted over something older.
Mission log
• B3: lost at Spindrift during the Last Window atrocity (Act III). A small salvage rig set tumbling clear of structure; Iker Salazar flies a save run for it but reaches it ninety seconds too late ("Sefa's clamped... one soul. I was ninety seconds late"). The cost beside Salazar's flying win at the gallery — he could not save the Sefa (Ch15).
Authority
Independent Spindrift salvage operation (ungoverned orbital).

Naming
