Operational profile

Recognition and use

The Horatius is a ten-ton laser interceptor built around a single pilot, six-gravity acceleration, military electronics, and a beam laser. It provides ammunition-independent defense against hostile fighters and small craft.

It has no armor, cargo, jump drive, or endurance beyond short carrier operations. Survival depends on speed, numbers, and disciplined recovery rather than protection.
