| Hull Bulkhead | 8 | 625 | 938 |

Weapons
| Weapon | Count | Damage per shot, base | Cycle | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mass Driver | 4, can be destroyed | 615 kinetic | 6 seconds | 2,500 optimal, 2,500 falloff |
| Auto-Cannon | 12 | 13.5 kinetic | 0.3 seconds | 600 optimal, 600 falloff |
Damage is before range falloff, crits, the tier's turret multiplier and your resistances. The Auto-Cannons each pick the nearest target within 1,200 on their own side of the hull.
Escorts
Hornets: two at a time, every 60 seconds, up to eight alive. A Hornet has 300 hull and 525 armor at base, and carries two Flak Cannons and cruise missiles.
Opener
The EMP nova.
Uber Spear of Amnion
In Warren Tombs, the Abyssal run of the same map, the first Spear to appear at Amnion's Refuge is the Uber Spear of Amnion. It is the same ship and the same fight, with these changes:
- armor tripled and hull doubled;
- turret range doubled and turret tracking half again as fast;
- Marksman: its turret damage is halved at close range and doubled at long range;
- an escort pack of six Hornets on top of its normal Hornet waves, each with half again as much armor.
In Warren Tombs that comes to about 17,200 hull and 46,300 armor, with repairers of about 5,800 and bulkheads of about 2,150 each.
Once the Uber Spear is dead, an ordinary Spear can take its place until the next tide brings the Uber Spear back.
