Ballet on Broken Seas

Ballet on Broken Seas is a playtest platform for testing the Iron Dice of War system. The setting is the world of Hayleth, a land with many continents divided by significant amounts of water.
On Hayleth, naval combat has traditionally involved great vessels of steel, but the latest generation of maritime warfare is focused around the newest innovation in naval technology: Fleet Maidens.
Looming constructs of advanced materials and superior weaponry, Fleet Maidens are giant fighting machines controlled by Neuromorphic Processing Cores (called Neuro-Cores for short), running emulations of brain scans of elite female officers from across the nation. Why are they all women? Multiple reasons, including beneficial morale impact on naval personnel, the superior balance and coordination of the female brain, the stability-promoting lower center of gravity of the female form, the harmful effects of dysmorphia when mismatching male brain scans with feminine body design, and the management of public fears after the first several masculine war robots went rogue and inflicted mass casualties.
So how does a bipedal humanoid war machine operate on the water? Through the use of Surface Tension Amplification Reactors built into every Fleet Maiden's boots. STAR Shoes apply a modulation field to the water beneath their feet, allowing them to stand or even slide and skate across the waves as needed. Although quite energy intensive, this allows Fleet Maidens to move quicker than traditional warships which gives them a significant strategic and tactical edge in naval combat.
