Le hangar du Voraascant était ce que l'on pouvait s'attendre, principalement plein de transports qui étaient destinés à transporter une population civile à la surface d'une planète pour la colonisation/recolonisation. Cela signifiait qu'ils n'étaient pas exactement les meilleurs pour le transport de navire à navire, si important qu'ils l'étaient. Ce n'était peut-être pas une frégate missionnaire, mais ce n'était pas la plus petite embarcation qui pouvait être disponible pour l'Avent.
C'est ce que Carina est allée à l'un des navires de son escadron d'embarcations de frappe, un chasseur qui avait été construit comme un chasseur de supériorité spatiale. Pas quelque chose que vous voudriez prendre contre un navire de la capitale, mais il a été utile contre les frégates, et pour nettoyer le ciel de l'embarcation de frappe ennemie pour que vous puissiez envoyer les bombardiers. C'était rapide, et bien armé, exactement ce dont elle avait besoin pour une mission diplomatique dans un vaisseau inconnu.
Elle s'approche du chasseur d'attente, laissant une main courir le long de l'accès au PsiTech à l'intérieur. Tout semblait en ordre de marche, et il était prêt à être utilisé. Alors que certains Psintegrats ont pu piloter leur embarcation de frappe sans avoir à être dans le navire eux-mêmes, cela aurait quelque peu vaincu le but de cette réunion. Elle devait être là en personne après tout.
En s'arrêtant, elle s'inclina légèrement la tête alors qu'elle envoyait un message à travers l'Unité. Je m'en vais. Espérons que cela apporte des réponses, et qu'ils sont prêts à accepter la parole de l'Unité.» Cela a gagné des confirmations et des vœux de bien de l'autre côté du navire, une voix beaucoup plus petite qu'elle n'avait l'habitude mais réconfortant néanmoins.
Avec cela, elle se mit à monter l'échelle d'attente, et se glissa dans le cockpit du chasseur. Il était à l'aise dans une certaine mesure, fait pour faire face à tout G-forces pourrait se présenter lors de manœuvres complexes dans l'espace. Carina sourit alors qu'elle ramasse la tiare qui s'est reposée devant elle, le casque mental qu'elle utiliserait pour commander le combattant en le volant. Une fois qu'il avait été placé sur sa tête, la liaison ascendante a commencé, la reliant au PsiTech du navire.
Les Moteurs laissèrent un bourdonnement tandis que le navire s'éloignait du pont, planant en place pendant qu'il s'ajustait au pilotage du navire. Après quelques instants, elle a indiqué que les portes devaient être abaissées, lui permettant de s'échapper dans l'espace au-delà. Une confirmation a été envoyée sur le pont avant qu'elle ne se dirige vers le Paramount.
En même temps, elle a envoyé un message, pour s'assurer qu'elle n'a pas gagné une réponse hostile. C'est l'Hampe Coalescent Carina de l'Avent. Je suis en route vers votre vaisseau. Demande d'instructions d'atterrissage.»
Ship Name:
Vorascant
Universe Background:
Once upon a time there was a group known as the Trade Order. Formed after the great wars and encompassing most of known space, the formation of the Order heralded a millennia of peace and prosperity. Yet in that beginning they sowed the seeds of their own destruction. Messengers were sent to all known worlds, to have them join the Order itself. One of those planets was a desert world orbiting a red star. There they found a thriving civilization known as the Advent.
The Advent initially rebuffed the request to join the Trade Order, and in turn the emissaries decided to send a team to research the Advent. What they leaned horrified them. Cerebral Integration Technologies, unrestricted biological experimentation, strange forms of collectivism, and the wholesale usage of countless neurochemicals, practices that were taboo to the Trade Order, and when they found out the Order voted overwhelmingly, seized control of the local area, and expelled the advent from Order space.
Driven into exile, a scar was created on the advent psyche. They devoted all their efforts to a quest for revenge, developing their technology to new heights and using all their resources to create an armada. Then when the time was right they struck, hitting the newly formed Trader Emergency Coalition's flank and beginning a bloody thirty year war that would see no peace, but rather the crumbling of loyalty within the Advent itself, as some wondered whether the Unity itself was corrupt as a result of this drive for revenge.
Crew Complement:
As a Mothership type vessel, the Vorascant has a compliment of 3,800 people, many of whom are to be used for colonization efforts on worlds that have been inducted into the Advent. The members of the Advent are human, but can have varying amounts of artificial implants to augment their psionic abilities.
Ship Description:


The Vorascant is a Progenitor class Mothership, designed by the Advent to travel the stars and induct new converts into the will of the Unity, especially on those planets who have up until this point been involved in the conflict. They are some of the most in tune with the collective will of the Unity, making them uniquely suited for their mission.
Capable of supporting up to three squadrons of strike craft, the Vorascant is equipped with multiple banks of pulse lasers and plasma turrets for defense and offensive firepower. It is also capable of orbital bombardment, though it itns't particularly fact when acting in an isolated capacity.
Defensively, the Advent have light ships with relatively weak hulls that are held in place telekinetically via PsiTech (the name for the Advent's psionically integrated technology), their defenses based on sophisticated shielding systems that can take quite a bit of punishment and keep on going. The ship itself is designed to look like a brain, and navigation is provided via those with Psionic abilities.
As far as power is concerned, the ship relies on cold fusion for basic power, but it also has an antimatter reactor which is used when in combat situations, or to power the phase drive.
Unique Capabilities:
Aside from the ability to colonize planets for the Advent, the Vorascant has access to several interesting abilities.
Due to their strong connection to the Unity and the psionic abilities of those aboard, the Vorascant is able to capture the minds of those on destroyed ships who had been connected to the Unity, channeling their knowledge and experience to the crew of a similar vessel, so they may benefit rather than having it lost.
The Vorascant is also capable of channeling energy from itself to allied ships within a certain radius, allowing it to assist in recharging their shields for a short duration of time.
Lastly it has a most peculiar ability. using the psionic abilities of the crew, it is able to take the pain inflicted on a ship being attacked (the exhaustion and suffering of the crew aboard and whatever pain they may feel from successful damage) and project it onto the minds of all ships within a certain radius around the Vorascant itself. this cannot be kept up continuously, but it provides a short term advantage in combat.
History of the Ship:
The Vorascant was built during the second phase of the war, a period where starbases were being constructed to hold vital sectors, and there was an all around stiffening of defenses. She was devoted to securing said defensive lines, enlisting those planets which had not yet joined into the Unity, and taking part in the occasional offensive against the TEC to straighten out weak spots in the line and infringe upon their territory.
It was only within the past few years that the Vorascant saw real action, the sundering of the Unity redrawing battle lines and influence, and they were sent out to reclaim territory not only from their external foes, but from the internal ones as well. Indeed, it was when they were responding to a call for aid on a desert world that was being attacked by a significant force that the Vorascant was swept away. They didn't even realize that anything was wrong, using the wormhole for a short cut to the battlezone.
Some Important People:
Scryer Alera Vesting - the ships navigator and guide amongst the stars, using her psionic powers to see the path that leads them onwards.
Psintegrate Lorana Derres - Essentially serving as the ships weapons officer, she coordinates the Psintegrates that man the defenses and weaponry of the Vorascant when in combat situations.
Coalescent Carina Hamp - The captain of the Vorscant, her word is seen as undeniable truth and law, and she commands the oyalty of the crew with a strong had and her PsiTech abilities.
