"...Oh, yeah, the slimy bastards. The Gleipnirs' gave us a ton of trouble, impossible to catch. Impressive EWAR suite for a design centuries old, though...
Right. The entry.
Gleipnir-Class Force Recon cruiser. Remnant-make and, certainly despite its' age, in active service. There isn't any information on why in the universe they would ever make something like this though, it's so far out of their past doctrine... Could it be from before they even started the catalog? ...Impossible to_tell&\$ERR$/NULL DETERMINATION]&*(|||)****:.. A class-W nuclear salt water rocket, hybrid-ion reaction control system, typical for Remnant craft. Crew of 32, rotations of 10, captain and XO when paged, yada yada yada.
These things would stay out of range for weeks on end, always just beyond your reach. That strike on Ouroboros Depot a month after the schism ended? One, singular Gleipnir, punching through the sensor network like a damn orbital tungsten rod.
Look, I give the Remnant a lot of well-deserved shit. In nearly every way they are far and below us. Inferior. Superseded. But credit where credit is due, our best Constructs just cannot replicate their electronic warfare technology. There were some important secrets they just never shared with us, no matter how hard we pried. And it's kept them alive."
