The enormous spaceships Radchaai use to annex and regulate planets are installed with artificial intelligences these A.I.s control “ancillaries,” people from conquered planets who are implanted with technology that wipes out their identities and renders them human appendages of their ships. On a remote, icy planet, the soldier known as Breq is drawing.
