+/// Krakensbane manages the position of its direct descendants, to ensure the
+/// focused vessel is not too far from the origin.
+/// </summary>
+/// <remarks>
+/// The name Krakensbane is a legacy of the original KSP module which does the 
+/// same thing, i.e. preventing floating point errors from causing the vessel
+/// to be thrown into deep space.
