After the Second Battle of Hadria, the Conglomerate realised how horribly outclassed their meticulously crafted small craft were against this new enemy. Hundreds of craft, some over a century old, were wiped out in under an hour by a much numerically smaller fleet, and a champion ship was lost in a single blast. Research into the construction of ship roles between supercarrier and small frontline fighter was undertaken. Weapons originally placed on missiles were dismounted and placed on turrets, allowing them to be amped up on the larger-scale power supplies of bigger ships.

Research was also taken into the Aenean warp drives with sensor data taken from the Oneirodynermia as it chased the Neptunia. Rudimentary inertial dampeners were designed using this system, as well as a basic structural integrity field and artigrav setup.

With these developments, larger ships became feasible. The Izuni was the first ship class constructed under this new doctrine, designed to be as refittable and versatile as possible. Reactors can be slotted in or out as development increases. The multiple hardpoints allow larger additions to construction while also letting pilots design their own setups, and the vessel is designed to handle atmospheric flight with ease. Military versions are usually fitted with 6 108MW lasers on their bow hardpoints and 8 flak cannons on the stern. This civilian version is dialled down a lot, and usually used for diplomatic purposes. One is en route to Aenea at this moment...
