Cawl listened as Iax rattled off a string of information, staring wide-eyed.
"Doomhammer is this fortress's true name?"
Iax nodded silently.
"This construct is called the Doomhammer, a Titan-Class Ship. Although some of its data has been corrupted, preventing me from determining precisely when and where it was built, its armament and the historical records currently available to me suggest that it most likely dates from after the Federation's collapse."
Cawl was somewhat puzzled as to why Iax was so certain that this was not a creation of the former Human Federation.
Naturally, Iax could see the confusion in Cawl's expression.
Even though only half of Cawl's face was organic, that did not impede the emotion detection and assessment systems of the Men of Iron.
Besides, Cawl's thirst for knowledge could hardly have been more obvious.
Perhaps to anyone in the Imperium, Cawl was already learned enough.
But even Cawl's understanding of ancient science, technology, and knowledge was limited.
"Based on the Federation technology stored in my records, if this ship had been built during the Federation Era, it would most likely have been fitted with a Men of Iron control core, along with more efficient devices and designs. Yet this ship clearly has none of those. From the information currently available, I can conclude that it was most likely a ship left half-built during the Federation Era, then modified by some other faction."
"Some of its weapons match the specifications for a Titan Ship of this type, but many more of its structures clearly appear to be compromises forced by limited technology."
As Iax spoke, a Holographic Projection appeared before Cawl.
The projection revealed the massive ship's modules one by one.
Iax then demonstrated how the ship's modules could be replaced according to standard specifications, presenting the complete data
