The Edward Deming

"If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing." - W Edwards Deming

The Edward Deming started its life as a geological survey ship involved in early human colonial efforts, providing detailed surveys of planets throughout known space. Over the course of hundreds of years the ship has been rebuilt again and again until finally falling into the hands of the Magnetic Assembly and Colony of New Cambridge in the Hawking system. While the Assembly acceled at producing unmanned drones, it did not specialize in creating the creature-comforts needed for long term space travel so it was happy to make use of the ship.

The Exemplar currently in charge of the ship is Heram Wazu, a renaissance man who's defense of native species against the Daqin has set in motion the ongoing conflicts between The American Union and The Magnetic Assembly, pulling the ship into conflict with many of the largest Human powers.

The Edward Deming started its life as a geological survey ship involved in early human colonial efforts, providing detailed surveys of planets throughout known space. Over the course of hundreds of years the ship has been rebuilt again and again until finally falling into the hands of the Magnetic Assembly and Colony of New Cambridge in the Hawking system. While the Assembly had a strong capability for producing unmanned drones, it did not specialize in creating the creature-comforts needed for long term space travel so it was happy to make use of the ship.

The Exemplar currently in charge of the ship is Heram Wazu, a renaissance man who's defense of native species against the Daqin has set in motion the ongoing conflicts between The American Union and The Magnetic Assembly, pulling the ship into conflict with many of the largest Human powers. This leaves Wazu in charge of building out the Provisional Fleet to defend the Assembly and its allies while still maintaining the exploration and diplomatic missions.
