Excerpt from the Malleon Auditor’s Manual, The Criterion:

Malleon starships represent merely the newest iteration of the ships it has built since time immemorial. Our conquest of the sea was borne in naval power, and the long guns and deft maneuvers of our fabled ancestors are still revered to this day. But the heart of any Malleon vessel is the seamless cooperation of its crew. Each sailor must do his duty, like a link in an impenetrable chain of mail, or else command collapses into ruin. It is our task to ensure that the ships we audit are running with utmost efficiency. This is how our profits are protected.
