Abathar
Solacium on the Dunes
MANTA RAY-CLASS GUNSHIP | SOLACIUM
When Guardian forces decided to procure an independently produced warship to use on a reconnaissance mission, an Arckanian-built gunship was the logical choice. The Manta Ray line was fast, configurable and very sturdy. Through third parties, a secret purchase was brokered.
The gunship, Solacium, was enhanced with Hexan technology and put under the command of Abathar and a detachment of his officers. For months, Abathar and his crew patrolled nearby star clusters, investigating disturbances and holding clandestine meetings with alien powers. Changes to the Solacium's configuration and equipment were frequent during this period.
Solacium was thought lost at the Battle of Arkite after it sustained severe damage and system failures. It has been more recently discovered that its captain and pilot were able to deliberately crash-land the wounded gunship just outside Ignis. Solacium passed, unappreciated, through the hands of several salvage yard owners before being purchased for a song by an upstart shipping company. Negotiations are underway to return this culturally significant ship to Arkite for preservation.
