I know I’m nitpicking but “using the tactical AI is that” should probably be: “using the tactical AI was that”
“Fleshpot” is good.
Wonder what HSAR will make of our little continuation?

Good catch. Corrected.

Oh, and Eidolon is good too

I thought you might appreciate that. I didn’t know if you’d intended Wraith to be the ship’s name, but I did like it as a particular classification of stealth ship.

Basically, in this universe, I’ve envisioned travel through real space as being inherently dangerous due to the abundance of predatory species, so most ships — at least human ones — are equipped some level of stealth technology. Eidolon is one of the better equipped, able to go almost entirely dark. It’s basically a cold pinprick against the vast backdrop of interstellar space.
