Name:
L'estro Armonico

Physical Description:
L'Estro Armonico is best described as a vaguely elliptical 40,000AU area of space where quantum mechanical effects overrule classical physics, weaponized to be able to conduct combat operations. It lacks a precise outer boundary, but its approximated center is the condensed star Histrion, a strange pseudo-stellar object created by the employment of the Son of Man's sword, Sofia, in the planet of Telestus.

Inside this large colume of space is an entity created out of the amalgamation of 8 Axiomatic Blinkers, former Capitol Dreadnought "Her Might" and more than 700 vessels of E Pluribus Axioma and the Capitol fleet. These vessels simultaneously exist everywhere at once inside L'Estro Armonico, suspended in a state of nonlocality similar to the fuzzy armor slabs utilized by Blinkers to defend themselves.

What exactly does it do:

Much like how blinkers can condense their fuzzy armor plates to repel attacks, L'estro Armonico is capable of using harmonic energy patterns to condense any part of its constitutent ships anywhere within itself. This allows it to quickly 'summon' and dissipate an inordinate ammount of weaponry of a wide variety of types while remaining largely immune to outside physical attack.

Wormholes can be created to link L'estro Armonico with places outside of its own volume, though the sheer ammount of quantum fluctuations will rapidly de-stabilize said wormhole and damage the ship projecting it.

Similarly, the large ammount of superposed energy states allow Blinkers to instantly travel to L'estro Armonico regardless of their own energy state, making it a powerful staging area for fleets.

Weaknesses:

Being centered around Histrion, L'estro Armonico has no means of propulsion outside of the aforementioned wormhole travel, making it a large fixed installation. It cannot 'deploy' its ships in any means as they will cease to exist should they ever find themselves outside of the boundaries of the superweapon.

As it uses harmonic resonance patterns to condense its weapons and ships, enemmies can mimmick those patterns to condense highly-volatile or otherwise fragile components such as its powerplants or targetting systems, which it has no means of replacing once destroyed.

A minor weakness is that a Carnaith survey ship was also absorbed in the creation of the superweapon, potentially causing some interference.

Slots: 3. Following the creation of L'estro Armonico, The Cameramen was decomissioned.

A splendid read. Mechanics were a little too similar to Monarch Territories (a different set of laws overriding current, physical ones - the core entity of the area existing omnipresently in their area only - ability to 'summon' at will only within that area - portals and whatnot being a key component to establish connections to far-away areas; Monarch Territories can move around, though - things created within cease to exist once they leave the borders of this extraordinary area) but it was still a splendid read anyway.

 I did notice Capitol and Carnaith elements in the L'estro Armonico. Were they absorbed there on purpose?
