"Normal patrol load," Caelira answered as if the number wasn't anything unusual.
Aurelian glanced at the magazine display. "And how much is that?"
"Roughly six thousand mixed weapons."
He slowly turned toward her.
Caelira stared back for a moment before finally smiling. "That is the usual reaction."
Astra was already going through the weapon list, checking the different missile types and launch systems. "You can launch more than four hundred medium missiles in a single coordinated strike."
"Five hundred and twelve if every rack is functional," Caelira corrected her, sounding rather proud of that number.
Astra moved to the reload information. "How long between launches?"
"Two minutes under normal conditions."
Aurelian looked back at the internal magazines. The ship carried enough ammunition to supply a small fleet, yet Caelira apparently considered throwing hundreds of missiles at the enemy every two minutes normal.
"That sounds expensive."
