• Phase I: CSV Shadow pilot (2028–2031)
• Full Mesh: 2035–2042
• Lifecycle: 100-year vision

 

• Material Cost Amplification: Naval steel, carbon composites, titanium alloys, and power electronics experienced 10–25% price hikes due to carbon pricing on extraction, processing, and shipping. Example: A 13,000-ton ship (like CSV Dominion Hunter) can incur $100M+ in added structural input costs over a 3–5 year procurement cycle.
• Power and Heat Penalties: High-energy subsystems like hull welding, titanium machining, and carbon autoclaves incur “emission-based surcharges”, effectively penalizing key naval manufacturing steps. These disincentives push critical manufacturing stages offshore — defeating sovereignty.

• Innovation Constraints: Next-gen weapons systems (DEWs, high-output turbines, hybrid-electric combat drives) face delays due to ESG approval loops and “Net Zero Compatibility” audits. “Greenwashing” became procurement doctrine — slowing integration of battlefield-ready systems.
• Vendor Lock-In and Globalist Gatekeeping: Only ESG-certified vendors receive federal funding, creating a cartel-like ecosystem dominated by foreign-aligned or ideologically compliant firms. Canadian innovators were filtered out of defense supply chains not by capability, but by alignment with globalized ESG scoring matrices.

• Disarmament by Design: These combined effects raise per-ship production costs by 20–30%, elongate delivery timelines, and reduce onboard capability density. Simultaneously, they weaken industrial competition in the sovereign supply chain — making Canada dependent on foreign assemblies.
• Invisible War on Sovereignty: ESG procurement logic has replaced military utility with ideological gatekeeping. In effect, Canada’s ability to arm itself is now regulated by emissions spreadsheets and global finance–driven scoring rubrics — not tactical or strategic necessity.

• Reassert tactical-first principles in procurement.
• Apply ESG selectively — post–design validation, not pre–design censorship.
• Create carbon-tolerant defense corridors exempt from price distortion mechanisms.
• Anchor ESG goals within a sovereign engineering doctrine — not global investor frameworks.

• Misalignment with the Age of AI and Drone Warfare: CSC was conceptualized in a pre-Ukraine, pre-swarm warfare era. It lacks the modularity, automation, and distributed kill-web integration necessary for post-2022 threat landscapes. Emphasis on legacy radar towers, large crew complements, and centralized C2 make it vulnerable to modern FPV drones, loitering munitions, and cyber-disruption.
• Excessive VLS Limitation: Only ~32–48 VLS cells per ship — insufficient against saturation attacks and incompatible with full-spectrum interceptor and strike payload diversity. Hypersonic missile defense? Unaddressed. Swarm intercepts? Not included. Directed energy? Not prepared.

💰 Cost & Delivery Spiral:

• Per-Unit Cost Now Rivaling U.S. Arleigh Burke Class: Projected $5B–$6.7B CAD per ship, compared to ~$2.2B USD for proven U.S. destroyers with far greater armament and deployment record. Canada is paying triple for a ship with 1/2 the firepower and 10-year delivery lag.
• Delays Embedded in Design-By-Committee Procurement: Multi-national, multi-consultant framework led to design churn, frequent revisions, and system mismatches. Construction timelines slipped from initial estimates of 2020s IOC (Initial Operational Capability) to mid-to-late 2030s for meaningful deployments.

• Shipyard Lock-In: Exclusive contracts to Irving Shipbuilding created a monopoly pipeline vulnerable to labor shortages, tooling constraints, and political fluctuations.
• Legacy Architecture Entrapment: Based on the BAE Systems Type 26 — a design never battle-tested, with significant weight, radar cross-section, and power constraints. Modifications for Arctic operations, stealth upgrades, or loitering drone capacity are not integrated or proven.

• First Day Vulnerability: In high-intensity conflict (Taiwan Strait, Black Sea analogs), CSC-class vessels face elevated risk of first-week attrition, especially against modern missile spam or drone swarm doctrines.
• Inflexible Naval Doctrine: Fixed mission loadouts, large crew dependency, and lack of modular compartments prevent CSC from adapting in a dynamic threat theatre.

• Shift to multi-role automation-first warships (Dominion Shadow, Hunter, Sentinel).
• Triple payload-per-ton ratio through SwarmOS, AI battle node logic, and distributed drone arsenals.
• Deploy ships in 4–6 year timeframes via scalable shipyards like Seaspan, not stretched to 20+ years.
• Move from legacy contracts to open-source, NATO-compatible standards that allow allied co-production.

• It will not arrive in time.
• It will not survive modern peer threats.
• It will not project the force Canada needs to defend its Arctic, Pacific, or Atlantic sovereignty.

• War Plans Rewritten by MBAs, Not Admirals: Operational readiness, threat simulations, and kill-chain integration were subordinated to brand management, risk mitigation, and stakeholder “alignment” models. Instead of battlefield survivability or strike lethality, designs were optimized for budget predictability, ESG metrics, and international optics.
• Tactical Irrelevance Baked into Procurement: Hull forms were approved before drone threat profiles were integrated. C2 (Command and Control) architecture was designed without real-time autonomy logic or electronic warfare resilience. Result: Ships that look resilient on paper — but cannot respond intelligently in dynamic peer-to-peer threat theaters.

• Mission-Kill by Compliance Overload: Every line item, from hull material to radar systems, passed through ideological filters: climate impact, indigenous consultation quotas, gender-equity reviews, and Net Zero milestones. Delays due to non-military oversight mechanisms eclipsed engineering deadlines — turning 5-year ship cycles into 15–20 year fantasy projections.
• Unaccountable Governance Layers: McKinsey consultants wrote procurement strategy. Accenture advised on naval ESG benchmarking. Deloitte modeled public acceptance metrics — while zero parties were accountable for missile survivability, C2 latency, or combat effectiveness.

• Doctrine Drift: Naval engineering logic was replaced with post-national governance logic, where defense spending exists to fulfill UN-aligned development goals, not sovereign defense requirements.
• Combat Illiteracy in Leadership: Senior bureaucrats and civilian procurement officers have never operated in contested naval conditions — yet dictate system specs down to line items, overriding engineers and veterans alike.
• Lethality Gap: The final products — including the CSC — are tactically obsolete on delivery, with no kill web integration, limited AI autonomy, and inadequate drone swarm countermeasures.

• Defense policy under consulting guidance has shifted from “how to win wars” to “how to minimize negative feedback loops from war.”
• This is not strategy. It is technocratic pacification — the transformation of military doctrine into a compliance product, repackaged for global investors, not domestic sovereignty.

• Reassert command authority to military and engineering leaders.
• Disqualify consulting firms from procurement strategy.
• Rebuild AI war doctrine from first principles — including moral, constitutional, and kinetic sovereignty.

⚠️ 1. Shipyard Concentration = Strategic Fragility

• Irving + Seaspan Bottleneck: Over 90% of Canada’s surface combatant production is concentrated in two politically-entrenched shipyards, located in Halifax and Vancouver — with limited interoperability, expansion flexibility, or dual-build capability.
• No Surge Capacity: In the event of geopolitical conflict or kinetic disruption (cyberattack, sabotage, strike action, or targeted missile strike), Canada’s naval production pipeline would collapse within weeks, with no alternate yards ready to scale or substitute.
• Political Overengineering: Both yards are locked into legacy contracts designed more for regional economic optics than naval war-readiness — enforcing rigid timelines and ship specs that cannot evolve alongside threat environments.

• Critical Systems Imported: VLS launchers (e.g., Mk 41): U.S.-controlled Sensors and fire control: EU & U.S. Combat management software: non-Canadian origin
• Procurement Paralysis: The use of foreign parts subjects Canadian vessels to external export licenses, shifting trade policies, and alliance politics — undermining true autonomous operational readiness.
• Cybersecurity Risk: Any foreign-sourced electronics — especially C4ISR systems — open potential supply chain backdoors, increasing exposure to state-sponsored cyber infiltration or kill-switch sabotage.

• No Parallel Facilities: There are no ready auxiliary shipyards, defense-rated fabrication clusters, or surge-ready naval foundries to take over if Irving or Seaspan are offline — whether due to natural disaster, attack, or economic disruption.
• Software/AI Fragility: Naval systems rely on non-diverse C2 stacks, creating single points of failure in command, autonomy, and drone integration — leaving no fallback logic in case of primary node disruption.
• Industrial Flatline: Canada lacks a nationally distributed defense industrial base. There is no western “arsenal of democracy” — only an over-centralized government contract model optimized for paperwork, not warfare.

1. Tripling Shipyard Redundancy: Establish one eastern, one central (Great Lakes), and one western war-rated fabrication hub — each capable of full-frame assembly and modular upgrade work.
2. Domesticize Core Components: Priority R&D and licensing of Canadian-made VLS cells, radars, drone-launch systems, and naval AI systems.
3. Swarm Resilience Design Philosophy: Every system (physical or digital) must have multi-node fallback and cross-ship AI integration via SwarmOS, with manual override from constitutional command protocol.

• 🇨🇦 3 Oceans, 0 Strategic Vessels: Pacific: Rising Chinese naval influence Atlantic: Deteriorating NATO cohesion Arctic: Militarized climate race, led by Russia Canada: No credible blue-water fleet, no sovereign projection
• 📉 Surface Combatant Gap: The Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC) program, intended to replace aging Halifax-class frigates, is decades behind schedule, over budget by $60–70 billion, and will deliver fewer than 20 ships — many of which will be obsolete upon launch.
• 🕳️ Sovereign Defense Vacuum: No naval deterrence means no sea lane security, no Arctic claim enforcement, no cyber-physical defense of offshore infrastructure (cables, pipelines, LNG), and no autonomous defense in a crisis.

• 🔄 De-Industrialization Spiral: Canada offshored its shipbuilding backbone, privatized its procurement logic, and replaced sovereign planning with global consulting firms and ESG-compliant pipelines that neutered hard power in favor of symbolic optics.
• 🧩 Doctrine without Dreadnoughts: Despite repeated white papers and “Indo-Pacific strategies,” Canada has no fleet capable of force projection, sea denial, or layered maritime defense in contested zones.
• 🧯 No Scalable Response: In a kinetic event (e.g., Taiwan, North Pole militarization, or North Atlantic cable sabotage), Canada would be 100% dependent on the U.S. Navy, lacking even a minimal sovereign response option.

• 🌀 Digital Defense Fantasy: Canadian strategic thinking has drifted into a post-physical illusion — where cybersecurity, ESG frameworks, and soft power are believed sufficient to defend a nation surrounded by water and targeted by peer militaries.
• 🪞 The Mirror Illusion: A fleet of policy documents, climate targets, and administrative briefings has replaced actual ships. The illusion of preparedness masks the reality of unarmed helplessness.
• 💼 Sovereignty Outsourced: Ottawa has outsourced national defense to U.S. goodwill and NATO promises, neither of which offer guaranteed coverage in a multi-theater global war.

• Arctic Gatekeeper 🧊 As polar ice recedes and great powers race north, Canada holds the key to the world’s next contested frontier. Strategic choke points: Northwest Passage, Beaufort Sea, Arctic Archipelago Adversary presence: Russian patrols, Chinese polar routes, U.S. “freedom of navigation” ops Mission: Surveillance, deterrence, and sovereign control — not just claim, but command.
• Pacific Flank 🌏 Canada’s west coast is now the frontline in the Indo-Pacific century. Rising threats: China’s naval expansion, missile ranges reaching North America Alliance anchor: Interoperability with U.S., Japan, South Korea, Australia Mission: Act as a launch and support platform for deterrence, logistics, and drone-based sea control in a crowded, contested theatre.
• Atlantic Stronghold 🌍 The historical cradle of Canada’s navy — and the critical link between North America and Europe. Subsea infrastructure: Transatlantic cables, undersea pipelines, military supply corridors Russian submarine resurgence: Threats from Kaliningrad, Murmansk, and the GIUK gap Mission: Maintain freedom of navigation, counter-submarine dominance, and reinforce NATO’s Atlantic core.

• Canada is not landlocked — it is ocean-locked, with more coastline than any other country on Earth.
• Its fate is maritime by design: from Norse explorers to British shipyards, from Cold War patrols to modern Arctic sovereignty.
• To abandon naval strength is to betray both history and geography — and to leave the world’s most strategically placed northern nation exposed and irrelevant.

• A sleeping trident must now rise. Arctic: Guard the crown of the world Pacific: Shield the empire’s western door Atlantic: Anchor the defense of civilization
• Canada’s new navy is not just a fleet — it is a covenant: Between land and sea, between past and future, between the people and their role in shaping history.

• Modern naval warfare relies on instantaneous threat detection, automated targeting, swarm drone coordination, and satellite-independent decision-making.
• These tasks will increasingly be executed by AI, not by human officers pushing buttons — which means the core software architecture of warships is now a sovereign decision-making system.
• This raises the urgent question: What values are embedded in the code?

• Canada must build its AI stack on moral alignment, not just operational efficiency.
• Key doctrinal elements: 🔐 Freedom by Default: AI must never default to suppression, surveillance, or preemption without human override. 🧭 Constitutional Encoding: AI operations must conform to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Geneva Conventions, and principles of just war. 🛑 Kill-Switch Sovereignty: Human commanders retain absolute override authority over autonomous systems.

A ship is not just a weapon. It is a mirror of the society that built it. If freedom is not in the code — it won’t be on the sea.

• The Dominion Guardian Fleet cannot simply replicate foreign AGI architectures designed for mass surveillance, technocratic enforcement, or unchecked autonomy.
• Canadian warships must: Encode respect for life Defend open civilization Uphold moral restraint in asymmetrical warfare
• Every algorithm deployed must be audit-ready, open to civilian oversight, and hardened against foreign ideological insertion.

• Canada’s AI doctrine for warships must become the ethical benchmark for NATO allies — especially as other nations pursue efficiency over values.
• Rather than importing foreign AGI, Canada must export moral-aligned AGI, serving: ⚖️ Human dignity ⛓️ Restraint over dominance 🌎 Peace through principled deterrence

In the future, the side whose AI best understands humanity — and chooses to serve it — will win.

Whoever controls the sea lanes of the AI supply chain — wins the century.

• Autonomous drone convoys, undersea fiber, floating power stations, and satellite-resilient comms mesh are transforming the seas into strategic lifelines.
• China, Russia, and rising blocs are actively developing oceanic infrastructure and drone logistics corridors that bypass or weaken NATO oversight.
• This is not trade as usual. This is digital empire-building — with AI ships, AI cargo, and AI weapons.

• Land power is fragmented.
• Air dominance is fragile.
• Cyber power is invisible — and unaccountable.

The oceans are the last neutral commons — and the first battlefield of the AI century.

• The Dominion Fleet cannot simply secure territory — it must secure a moral perimeter for civilization.
• If we do not guard the seas with values, others will fill the void: With AI piracy With coercive drone blockades With lawless oceanic zones controlled by synthetic proxies or hostile regimes
• Dominion ships are not just steel or stealth — they are guardians of global trust, coded with law and anchored in principle.

• The 21st century’s dominant powers will be defined not by how many soldiers they deploy — but by how autonomously, securely, and ethically they move: Oil Grain Data Energy nodes Modular reactors Drone platforms Mesh-deployed weapons & humanitarian aid

• Build AI-optimized maritime vessels
• Secure Northern and Pacific corridors
• Lead in moral logistics doctrine for NATO

If the West does not encode virtue into its maritime AI, it will lose the sea — and with it, civilization.

The torch of Western sea guardianship must pass — and it must be earned.

• Rome secured the Mediterranean as Mare Nostrum — Our Sea — anchoring trade and justice from Gaul to Judea.
• Britain forged the Royal Navy to defend liberty and commerce, bringing steam, science, and law to every coast.
• The United States built carrier battle groups and submarine fleets to hold tyranny at bay in the Cold War and maintain global stability.

• The Arctic Gate to the north
• The Pacific Frontier to the west
• The Atlantic Alliance to the east

Will Canada choose itself?

• To guard civilization’s AI future from synthetic decay
• To protect global freedom of navigation from autocratic drones and gray-zone fleets
• To encode the laws of liberty into the new mesh architecture of the seas

Rome fell. Britain faded. The U.S. strains. Canada must rise.

• Designed for seamless interoperability between ships, drones, satellites, and submarines — ensuring a mesh-intelligent combat grid.

One OS. Many vessels. A single synchronized swarm.

• Kill-web architecture replaces legacy “kill chains” with nonlinear, AI-optimized attack routing.
• Any sensor can be a shooter. Any drone can receive targeting data from any node.
• Redundancy built in: Satellite-resistant communication nodes Local edge-AI fallback to ensure operation even under jamming or strike conditions Layered decentralization to prevent single-point-of-failure scenarios

A fleet that thinks together, fights together — and survives together.

• Every AI system is built with embedded ethical constraints anchored in: Canadian constitutional values Rules of engagement compliance Civilians-first targeting exclusions
• Integrated kill-switch override system ensures: Manual command always supersedes AI Human judgment remains in-the-loop during autonomous escalation sequences No lethal decision is left fully unsupervised in critical edge cases

AI that remembers what it means to serve humanity.

• No foreign cloud dependence: All core models and decision logic are hosted on sovereign Canadian infrastructure.
• AI codebase is: Open to audit by elected defense authorities Closed to manipulation by globalist data regimes Patriot-hardened: designed to resist cyber-redirection, embedded compromise, or synthetic override

Not just a secure ship — a free ship.

• Thinks faster
• Fights smarter
• Obeys higher law

 

• All Dominion-class ships (Shadow, Hunter, Sentinel) are engineered with plug-and-operate compatibility for existing NATO naval bases.
• Standardized hull interfaces enable: Rapid resupply Modular weapons upgrades Integrated fuel/power docking
• Cross-decking with allied ships is pre-cleared by design — including munitions resync, comms sync, and drone handoff protocols.

One port. One protocol. One purpose: joint readiness.

• Ships use quantum-resilient, harmonized encryption protocols aligned with NATO’s secure comms and data standards.
• Interoperability governed by: SwarmOS-Aegis interface bridging Red/Blue/Gold coalition AI sync-points Zero-trust handshake logic for classified C2 links
• “Meloni Keycard” Protocol: High-level allied interface access for authorized commanders (e.g., Meloni and/or Pontifex in Italy, Alice in Germany, Trump in U.S., Nigel in UK, Princess Leonor in Spain, Milei in Argentina, Australia) Temporarily transfers command rights for emergency joint operations Auditable chain-of-command with embedded override timers and rollback triggers

Trust is coded. Sovereignty is respected. Access is earned.

• All Dominion ships are developed within a clean export control framework: Free of ITAR or non-exportable U.S. tech bottlenecks Uses Canadian-developed AI, propulsion, and weapons interface layers Modular payloads can be downgraded or upgraded based on receiving country’s legal, ethical, and operational constraints

From Canada to NATO to Pacific allies — ships ready to serve without compromise.

• Agile in allied operations
• Resilient in joint command contexts
• Legally and ethically exportable — without entangling sovereignty

• Dominion Fleet blueprints are built with plug-and-deploy modularity — enabling direct integration into: 🇺🇸 U.S. Navy forward deployments 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪 European rapid-response forces 🇯🇵🇰🇷🇦🇺 Pacific Rim defense coalitions
• Shared drydock standards, VLS architecture, and AI-mesh interfaces ensure: Rapid production at NATO yards Agile refits for emerging theaters Cross-compatible C2 and kill-chain logic

The blueprint is Canadian. The reach is global.

• Canada assumes the role of industrial backbone by delivering high-fidelity, pre-certified modules: Combat data cores, VLS decks, stealth hull segments Mesh-node AI bridges + swarm defense platforms
• These enable the U.S. to scale its navy by up to 300× capacity in critical wartime scenarios — without lag time, bottlenecks, or loss of quality control

Canada becomes the arsenal of the Free Seas — enabling mass without compromising ethics or autonomy.

• China holds a 262× advantage in commercial shipbuilding throughput — amassed over two decades of infrastructure scaling.
• But Dominion ships are force-multiplier smartships: 🧠 AI-enhanced targeting 🛰️ Mesh kill-web autonomy 🛡️ Superior stealth, survivability, and strike depth
• One Dominion Hunter = multiple legacy hulls in strike power, drone coordination, and survival under saturation attack

It’s not just about numbers. It’s about dominance per ton.

• Expand allied naval might exponentially
• Match peer-adversary production speed without mirroring inefficiency
• Transform Canada from “the quiet partner” into the keystone arsenal of democracy at sea

• The arc of Western naval guardianship spans millennia: Rome: Dominated the Mediterranean as the Mare Nostrum, ensuring order through naval supremacy. Britannia: Projected force across the world’s oceans with disciplined fleets and merchant navy dominion. Columbia (USA): Inherited the maritime torch in the 20th century, protecting global shipping lanes and post-WWII sovereignty. Now: Canada steps forward — with the Dominion Fleet, carrying the mantle of oceanic guardianship into the era of AI, autonomy, and planetary instability.

History’s tide turns North. The final inheritor of the Sea must be moral, distributed, and incorruptible.

• These aren’t mere hulls — they are symbols of alignment: 🛡️ Trust in human sovereignty ⚖️ Power encoded with moral restraint 🧠 AI designed not to dominate, but to defend the sanctity of life and liberty
• The Dominion Fleet is built with constitutional logic, ethical AI interlocks, and distributed kill-switches — designed to uphold humanity, not supersede it.

A warship is no longer just steel — it is a vessel of values.

• In an era of hostile AI, information warfare, and decentralized drone threats, the Dominion Class provides a tripartite shield: Air: Satellite-resistant ISR mesh + drone interception networks Land: Interlinked with territorial mesh defenses, NORAD-style uplinks Sea: Guardian of critical chokepoints, cables, Arctic trade, and alliance fleets
• It functions as the first ethically-governed AGI naval system, defending not just territory, but civilization’s last consensus on truth, freedom, and sovereignty.

The Dominion Fleet is the firewall — the final line between order and oblivion.

• A sovereign navy begins not in steel, but in the soul of its citizens.
• The Dominion Project anchors a new national calling: Forge Canada’s Naval Engineering Academy — a joint civilian–military institution with global prestige. Unite applied STEM, ethical AI, battlefield systems, and systems resilience under a single banner: the Sovereign Defender. Establish direct career pathways from high school → university → shipyards → command centers.

A shipyard is not just a workplace — it is a sanctuary of nation-builders.

• In an era of collapse, confusion, and fractured meaning, the Dominion Fleet offers the most sacred antidote: The chance to build something real To defend the innocent with purpose-built precision To fuse logic, courage, and citizenship into a singular path of national rebirth
• No longer will youth be pushed into ideologically hollow institutions. They will forge steel and code — and in doing so, forge themselves.

To serve is to build. To build is to belong.

• The Dominion ships are not for export margin, not for greenwashed compliance, and not for PR optics.
• They are built: To protect children 50 years from now To shield AI from becoming authoritarian To carry the stories of a people who did not surrender to decay
• Each hull is a monument to Canadian resilience — and a reminder that some things are worth defending beyond balance sheets.

Profit fades. Legacy endures. Civilization must be built — or it will be erased.

1. Composite–Titanium Hulls • Unlike steel, composites (fiberglass, carbon fiber, etc.) and titanium do not conduct electricity easily, reducing external current coupling during EMP bursts. • Steel hulls, being conductive, can act as giant antennas, capturing EMP energy and channeling it dangerously into internal systems.
2. EMP-Hardened Power Loops • All Dominion ships are described with EMP-hardened loop systems and battery backups — meaning core systems are likely enclosed in Faraday-cage-style architectures. • Triple-loop systems on the Hunter especially reduce single-point failures.
3. Low-Crew, Automation-Heavy Designs • With fewer humans on board and tighter automation integration, these ships likely follow military-grade shielding protocols throughout their sensor and command systems.
4. AI Stack Compartmentalization • AI components like SwarmOS, AGI Ethics Kernel, and mesh C2 systems are likely isolated in physically shielded compartments with hardened memory and processing cores.

• Hull Conductivity • Steel-Hulled Ship: High — conducts both magnetic & electric fields easily • Dominion-Class: Low — non-conductive composite or diffuse titanium alloy structure
• EMP Absorption Risk • Steel-Hulled Ship: High — hull acts like an antenna, channeling EMP into systems • Dominion-Class: Low — structure deflects or dissipates EMP energy
• Power System Isolation • Steel-Hulled Ship: Often partial and vulnerable to system-wide surge • Dominion-Class: Hardened with triple-loop isolation (Hunter), reducing cascade failure
• Control System Design • Steel-Hulled Ship: Uses legacy cabling with minimal segmentation • Dominion-Class: Fully modular AI stacks with hardened shielding and segmentation
• Crew Survivability • Steel-Hulled Ship: High reliance on manual overrides and human recovery • Dominion-Class: AI-coordinated auto-containment systems boost survivability

• Even the most hardened ship cannot fully escape EMP vulnerability, especially from nuclear-level high-altitude bursts.
• However, the Dominion-class ships are built to survive and recover — prioritizing: • Redundant loops • Hardened core systems • AI fault-recovery protocols • Stealth + non-conductive geometry
