Enlightened Advanced Squadrons

Operating as floating power stations, these dedicated energy transfer conduits possess the capability to enhance nearby vessels. While the Zumeena class is notably susceptible to enemy attacks, the benefits they bring to Enlightened scientific progress outweigh the potential loss of crew members. Recognizing that not every Covenant Commodore has access to a Descartes Control Ship, the Yemoja shipyard introduced the Vesalius to ensure the well-being and efficiency of their cetacean allies. Some fleets within the faction feature multiple Descartes and Vesalius ships, supporting a multitude of Physeters.

For the Covenant of the Enlightened, assembling a battlefleet signifies a significant investment in resources and expertise. Incorporating several Origen-class Lathe Ships in support roles significantly mitigates the inherent risks. Although technically categorized as oceanid assault automatons instead of true colossi due to their absence of human crews, the Ketos employ Sturginium Agitators to inflict devastating damage on enemy capital ships. These insect-like machines rely on surprise tactics and cold, calculated logic to amplify the effectiveness of their assaults.

Crafted by Paulette Aronnax, the Lotan models are among the most prevalent oceanid assault automatons. These segmented machines shadow Enlightened convoys and strike unexpectedly when required, utilizing their fearsome Coeus Shockmaw to dismantle vessels, akin to mythical sea monsters.
