To them, nuclear weapons are simply another tool, albeit one with a particularly high energy density, to be used when the occasion calls for it.

 	description "Unlike the nuclear missiles employed by the Avgi, the Ophrys carries only enough propellant to make small adjustments to its trajectory. It instead relies on the speed of the bomber carrying it, trading an independent propulsive capability for enough armor to improve the odds of surviving antimissile fire during its terminal path."

You ease inside and have barely touched down when a technician is dropping from the ceiling onto your hull with a refueling hose and repair equipment. Meanwhile, a swarm of Remnant are prepping and moving various equipment, many with lifts and loaders. You quickly open the cargo hold doors, and the Remnant rush to load and board the <ship>.`
 			`	The Remnant move fast, but you can hear the battle approaching. Even through the <ship>'s dampeners you can feel the heavy thud of anti-air artillery. The whine of generators being pushed to the limit fills the air as the shields crackle with incoming fire. Through the cacophony the Remnant move with purpose, gesturing instructions silently through the din. Finally the last load is packed onboard, and one of them comes up to the cockpit. "Thank you for your assistance, Captain <last>. As the explosive charges have been set, I recommend we leave promptly." They nod respectfully, then strap themselves into the nearest harness.`
 			`	The shield opens one final time to allow you to leave, and you practically leap into the teeth of a Korath attack. The anti-air artillery continues its rhythmic barrage against the incoming ships, but it is evident that both it and the shields around the base are failing under the assault. As you head for orbit, the last image you see is the artillery pieces sag and collapse as they melt into the ground. Your sensors record a sudden explosion from the cavern, to which the Remnant give a sad but satisfied nod. "Take us back to Caelian please, Captain."`
