Cephalic Module

The prow of the Ardent is analogous to the ship’s head; this comparison is enhanced by the presence of a matrix housing the ship’s navigator intelligence: T/OM-Brigid. With an omnidirectional sensory array also housed in the cephalon acting as the ship’s eyes and ears, points of interest – and threats – can be identified early and relayed to the crew.

Launch Bays

The Ardent uses a fleet of drones for a multitude of purposes, including reconnaissance, hull repairs, defensive combat and asteroid mining. Whether they are automated or remotely-controlled, these drones are housed in the cephalic module – so that they may be launched as soon as they are needed.

Bridge

The frontmost section of the Ardent. While it is a functional communications centre and the office of the ship’s captain, the purpose of the bridge is largely ceremonial: ship-wide broadcasts from high-ranking A-Com personnel are delivered from the helm. Off-duty crewmembers often gather here to observe the vistas of space that lie before them.
