-Bridging the gap between fighter and light gunship, the XGS300 offers occupancy space, massive generator capacity, a main gun and sensors comparable to a light gunship or heavy shuttle — and manoeuvrability and portability on par with a fighter.
+Bridging the gap between a fighter and an intersystem gunship, the XGS-300 was a long-range FTL strategic reconnaissance starship operated by The Greater Cluster during their occupation of Aleph 3591 until its independence was won, becoming Aleph Null.
-Her unusually massive hull is necessitated by her requirement for large control surfaces in order to remain stable at higher speeds during [[subspace_vortex]] operation. This allows for maneuvering at faster-than-light speeds or approaching faster-than-light speeds, to move through a system on paths not aligned with a warp rail with enormous navigational independence.
+Featuring a high grade sheoul-burning subspace engine, the Amelia 's purpose was to operate at extreme velocity and range in order to outrun opponents while capturing meaningful information about enemy targets, feeding information to other larger craft.
+Interestingly, the Amelia was one of the first Maidenhands, possessing a physicalized avatar for the purpose of better integration with manned forces. While it primarily operated unmanned, for legal purposes the interior of the XGS-300 features a cabin and survival space for two occupants.
+Her unusually massive hull for a fighter is nessesitated by her requirement for her large sheoul-burning subspace engine and large control surface antennae used to remain stable at higher speeds during faster-than-light travel or approaching FTL speeds. This grants the Amelia massive and unheard of navigational independence for a craft of its size -- though it was enormously dependant on pre-planned refuelling and intense maintenance on her two high grade FTL engines.
+Another major cause of the XGS-300's large size was the integration of the pilot's mind into its systems -- with their body being only a physical representation of the pilot for the purpose of psychological hygiene and the preservation of self -- as the brain was massively enhanced by the XGS-300's computer-banks.  They were in this sense, not paired permanently as reversal surgery or the creation of a new body was entirely possible, though to seperate the two is a great feat only achieved much later with micronization of previously enormous computer structures which were later small enough to be surgically implanted rather than directly linked.
+The reasoning for this advanced operational capacity was to make accurate assessments of enemy targets, enormous decryption loads and to make accurate battle decisions when moving at speeds greater than light when massive eventualities need to be planned for beforehand. In this sense, many of these early maidenhands had a brief statistical window into the future, seeing many potential events which could happen and then performing actions which move towards the statistically more survivable clusters. This gave them what seemed to be precognition, when really they were operating with some of the most advanced computational and statistical processing systems of their time -- fundamentally altering their awareness of reality.
+The XGS-300 served the Greater Cluster from BA-120 to BA-157 and towards the latter half of the war the factories producing it had been seized and relocated into Thunderhead's orbit under possession of the Albion Independence Rebellion where it would be "convinced" to fight for a superior cause through very basic reconditioning and experience in civilian-life -- giving rise to the first Maidenhands and the very last avatar-drone weapons to be produced by the Greater Cluster.
+In total, only twelve XGS-300 were ever lost and many remain functional today in civilian or defense roles to Albion under the service of knighthood for their role in the war - though their work is primary purpose is system defense they are often relegated to tasks of law enforcement in the vicinity of Albion. They are known for their keen intuition and lightning fast seemingly precognitive reflexes.
