Mycroft

MycroftLike Moriarty, it was named for a character from the Sherlock Holmes detective novels. was a system defense fire-control platform designed for the Grand Alliance in the 1920s PD.
Honor Harrington first suggested the concept to Sonja Hemphill, as a way to update the Havenite Moriarty system-wide network of dispersed sensor and fire control stations to take advantage of the Mark 23 and Mark 23 E missiles.
Essentially, Mycroft was several dozen Keyhole II platforms parked at various points in a star system. They had to be modified so each one carried its own power plant and other hardware.
The Royal Manticoran Navy planned to have the system installed in the Beowulf System in 1922 PD. ()
In late 1922 PD, Mycroft was brought online in the Manticore, Haven, and Beowulf systems with further expansion to Maya, Erewhon, and Torch planned. The Mesan Alignment was able to learn of Mycroft's existence from an operative on Beowulf however and devised the Silver Bullet as a response to it. ()
