Minnows* are a class of mass-produced submarine used on Sweetwater. They're more of a sub “chassis” or rather outer and inner hull design with a small set of standardized components with an interior that can be customized by downstream manufacturers. Discarded minnows are a frequent site floating above the larger benthic cities. Some of the more plutocratic cities are so scandalously prodigal that they'll think nothing of abandoning them to the surface at the slightest inconvenience. The subs are infamous system-wide in their use as technicals repurposed by pirates and anti-AW insurgents.

*An English approximation referring to various taxa of small fishes often used as bait or eaten directly.
