- The archive specifies 25 technical system profiles alongside deck, capacity, propulsion, defense, and habitation details.
Field notes
Astraea is structured like a technical reference manual for an inhabited starship rather than a conventional story page. The visible architecture separates command, protection, engineering, propulsion, archives, and habitation, while the vessel’s 1,200-person standard complement and 12,000-plus temporary capacity give the imagined society operational scale. The page also frames the Covenant as a relationship between two independent minds, adding a personal and ethical dimension to the machinery.
