A.C.S clenched Fist

The Clenched Fist was built by three factions that needed each other more than they liked each other, and it shows. The forward section is RRH — heavy, institutional, built to govern. The middle belongs to DE — narrow corridors, weapon oil, troop bays that have seen real use. The rear is CI’s, and most of the crew has never seen most of it.

During the USSOM war the ship earned everything it represents. King ran diplomacy from its war rooms until there was nothing left to negotiate. Sirtaz pushed it to the front of the counteroffensive the moment King called it done. Benny’s CI arrays cut USSOM’s communications in the same window DE hit their lines — timed so precisely that James’s formations went dark and got overrun in the same breath. The encirclement closed. The economy collapsed. The war ended.
