Operational profile
Recognition and use
The Argus is an armed twenty-ton launch for moving ten passengers through contested local space. Six-gravity acceleration, four points of crystaliron armor, military fire-control software, and a beam laser let it escort transfers or discourage light interception.
A single pilot must manage both flight and combat, and the weapon leaves little room for cargo. The launch has one week of endurance, cannot jump, and depends on a carrier or base for maintenance and strategic transport.
