Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.

Thanks to the ingenuity of Maltese scientists, a large portion of a Warship control is handled by computers alone. Since lives are sacred and living stock of humans needed elsewhere, Captains do not need to scream "Crew to battlestations" over space communication lines, unlike the rest of the Sirius, no, instead, computers are taking care of each individual aiming vector and adjust accordingly. Unlike humans, computers can simulate millions of possible outcomes and predict enemy movement with near perfection. Of course, captains have control over weapons and may assign individual actions to each weapon group if needed.

For example, Crew for a Ranseur includes only few dozens of living crew as ship has its dedicated machinery to handle repairs on its own. Living stock is there in case of serious internal problems where machine workers failed or are unable to handle the situation. Each robot is its own unit and captain can oversee their current jobs and change it should it be required. Most of the Maltese Warships are never stationed at repair docks for longer than a day, since most of the outer-hull and some parts of the inner-hull can be handled completely by preprogrammed nanobots of which Malta has always enough for minimal price.

Electronic warfare systems such as communication jammers are pre-installed, aiding against enemy movements or detection of an incomming fleet. Ship AI providing any kind of service help to keep the ship at the best possible shape. So is its ability to protect itself against any kind of foreign perpetrators trying to gain access into ships internal systems, which are disconnected from ethernet and have a network of their own using different technology, language and protocols anyway.

Few guards on board are protecting the captain and make sure if there are any would-be turncoats or spies, they'd be quickly taken care of, either by superior force or the simple knowledge of ship's interior. Tacticians and advisors may find themselves onboard aswell, for the purpose of lending military expertise or foreign relations with unknown entities shall it be required.
