  Head Engineer's Note:
  The power draw during a full charging load is immense, its a marvel the dock power umbilical can handle these kinds of levels. Although thanks in no small part to the heavy rectifier system aboard the Berith. The system is capable of stabilizing single-direction power between multiple vessels, although this protection only spans as far as the vessel's own power grid. I shutter to imagine what might happen to dock facilities if the vessel is suddenly disconnected in the middle of a full charge cycle.

  
  
• Battery charge system is automatically controlled and inaccessible for maintenance.
  System is compatible with charge rate and capacitance upgrades.

• Start drone chargeup sequence via the lever directly above the power supply. An green indicator will flash 4 times in sequence to indicate charging in progress. The drone's onboard 2,000 kW is rapidly charged using the heavy capacitor located at the rear of the console. This process will take approximately 17 seconds, after which the charging system will automatically shut off.
  
• Once charged, activate the drone mainline systems from the console. The drone status screen should show 'Online' and remote control is now enabled.
  
• Open the outer drone bay door via the switch marked with hazard stripes in the console overhead, or in the rear console of the command room.
  
• If console docking system fails, the docking mechanism can be cycled manually via the orange-lined lever in the compartment overhead.
  
• Do not attempt to open the maintenance hatch while in operation.
  
• The drone is now free to undock and begin operation. Safe remote connection range is approximately 1.25km. The status screen displays the drone's remaining battery charge. A flashing red light and alarm on the status screen indicates that the drone is severely damaged and must be returned or repaired in the field.

Repairs:
• To repair while docked in the drone bay, climb to the upper step on top of the console and open the compartment overhead maintenance hatch. The main drone systems can be accessed at head height in this position. Do not attempt to launch the drone while in the maintenance mode.
  

  Head Mechanic's Note:
  It can be a real pain in the neck trying to reach some of the farthest components on either the engine end or gun end of the drone. Honestly you might be better off getting on your hands and knees and crawling into the space between it and the hull of the ship, I don't see how you could reach all the way to the back of the thing for engine repairs otherwise.

• If the drone is damaged and unable to return, in-field repairs may be necessary. Switch off the drone's mainline power systems. A diving team must repair any breaches in the drone's outer hull. Once repaired, switch on the drone's mainline systems to drain it of water.

"The Stiletto class submarine is an advanced attack vessel with heavy armament for its size and many cutting edge systems. Its main battery consists of two heavy railgun turrets equipped with instrument assisted fire control system. An auxiliary thruster system provides improved maneuverability in combat, turbopump power provided by an onboard diesel generator. Hull armor features a partial citadel configuration for improved survivibility. However these improvements all come at a steep unit cost."
