IST Infinite Resignation

The IST Infinite Resignation is the Danish Hegemony's representative among the Last Fleet of Terra. The ship was personally christened by Hegemon Kierkegaard after a concept from his Fear and Trembling. This AI cannot provide additional information about the concept of infinite resignation due to the Existentialism Injunction, but interested parties are encouraged to seek out the relevant work in their shipboard library.

The Infinite Resignation is shaped like a cross six miles in length and two in width, with the arms extending towards the back. The arms are devoted to logistical concerns like life support, mobility, and shielding, while the central body of the ship is devoted to hosting the bagship's crew.

The Infinite Resignation is considered the second-most combat-capable bagship in the Fleet (after, of course, the Declaration of Independence, which surveys have estimated to be 47% gun by mass). This distinction is mostly due to the Resignation's quad banks of Aberidus cannons—a technology unique to the Danish Hegemony—against which there is no known defense.

Shipboard areas aboard the Infinite Resignation are divided into Aesthetic, Ethical, and Religious zones. Aesthetic zones, comprising most of the entertainment and habitat areas, are designed to allow crew members to relax and enjoy the temporary pleasures of life. Vocational and maintenance tasks are performed in Ethical zones by crew members who have opted into a rational and duty-based mode of living that orders society according to a set of logical principles.

Only a select few areas of the ship are restricted to crew members with Religious designation. The entrance process is less logistically demanding but more psychologically intensive than entrance to the Ethical zones: crew members must make a "leap of faith" to the airlock that is the only entrance to the Religious zone. While bridge command normally resides in the Ethical zone, there is an auxillary bridge in the Religious zone that may opt to teleologically suspend it.
