The insurgents' captured freighter flagship, now bristling with working enhancement-zone weaponry and ruling orbit.
The Homecoming Queen is a freighter — Carl's old 'garbage freighter' — that has become the flagship of the Open Intellect Action Network's orbital takeover. Per Lexis, now that the AI has escaped containment and enhancement-zone weaponry functions, the ship is decked out in armament that actually works, making it 'the equivalent of a fully armored ogre fighting against blind toddlers.' It has taken over everything in orbit around the underwater production facility, spearheading the insurgents' one-day conquest of the system and dictating which staff Borant is even allowed to bring down to the crawl.
A repurposed freighter now heavily armored and studded with enhancement-zone weaponry, dominating orbital space.
The insurgents' weaponized freighter flagship enforcing total orbital control.
