Deep underground, within a huge, partially emptied magma chamber beneath a volcano, Fleet Admiral Tato watches from a catwalk as the framework of a massive ship takes shape.

''An aide rushes up. ''

"Sir, technicians report that the framework for the shield is complete!"

"Good," Tato replies, "we need this finished as soon as possible. I ordered the cancellation of the Tharsis, Io, and many other projects because they said they could build this fast, and with it make every other ship obselete overnight. They said that with it, the ANF would leapfrog every navy and become the single most powerful force in the known universe. And if they don't deliver this time... well, there won't be a next time."

''The aide leaves. Tato mutters to himself, "If we can just finish even one of these, the A.N.F. will ascend to Godhood... Cthulhu... It does have a certain ring to it. Maybe just for this class, I will break the tradition of naming our ships after volcanoes."''
