"Eh? There's actually no one here? A fully automated system—how is that possible?"
When Bereo and his group entered this Empire-Class Warship, their eyes were filled with shock. In such a massive Empire-Class Warship, there was not a single person operating it. It was fully automated.

It even needed the ability to traverse space.
Thus, intelligent systems had always only been auxiliary tools and could not fully control a warship. That was why many of the Atlan Civilization's warships Merlin had seen still had Atlan People operating them.
