Almost all Imperial ships these days were built by the Mechanicum. An agreement that bound both the Imperium and the Mechanicum came with the stipulations that the Mechanicum would give the Emperor his warships, while the Emperor would give the Mechanicum passage to the great depths of space.
Because of this agreement both sides began to specialize in their tasks. The Imperium, with armies of men and demi-gods, was specializing in the tactics and waging of war. Far past was the time where the Mechanicum and the burgeoning Imperium both held equal military might. That did not mean the Mechanicum was weak, for their forges were what fueled this ever expanding empire into the realm of space.
If blows did come, the advantage the Imperium had would quickly be shrinked as the forges while fueling their empire was put towards destroying it. A killing blow would be needed then, something many would argue cannot be made.
The Imperium now still had some of the abilities to build their ships, these always from the time of the Unification War where the Golden Desert planet was likely to fight with the Priesthood of Mars. Few were meant to build, but modify these days as only the Custodians wished to keep themselves off the industrial might of the Mechanicum.
At one of these modification harbors did two Primarch work. Boots magnetized to the metal below them their heads were currently pointed towards Humanity’s cradle without much worry. Zero Gravity was both a boon and a bust when it came to ship making, for it allowed such impossible angles of work but also presented hundreds of different fears. The Astartes though were confident in their battleplate.
“The sensory relay is the most important part of the ship.” TalOS fed into the vox communicator this line. It was inefficient to keep talking when there was no atmosphere between them so simple radio communication was made, “It is your eyes and ears. If its Machine Spirit were to be harmed or untamed then it will become the greatest enemy you have ever faced.”
+Then it will need to be redundant.” Declared Ferrus Manus as he looked upon the small device, “And those currently equipped can have a layer of armor on them.”
“Hmm, extra armor could work but do keep in mind that the Machine Spirit will lose its sight if too much is placed upon it.”
“It will do. It is better to avoid being blinded than to have it dulled.” Declared the Primarch of the Tenth.
