Operational History
The Antares had a relatively calm history, flying it’s usually routes up and down from Helion to Thalassa. Until it got ripped from superlightspeed between Albion and Aveterni while travelling from Suegra, where it underwent a refit, back to Albion. The crew was able to fend off the small pirate fleet and subsequently liberated the Crew of the Urukome, a Freighter that the pirates captured in the Lambda Velorum System.
This incident set the precedent for Grav-Yanking, which is pirate slang for utilizing a modified gravity anchor, which are only found on Jetgate-Rated Lanternyard vessels, to slow a ship prematurely out of its inertia.
Typical Missions
| Mission Type | Description |
|---|---|
| General Goods Hauling | The most amount of general goods are loaded in Albion and Valdurion, and offloaded mostly in Helion and Galatea |
| Bulk Goods Hauling | Bulk goods are almost always transported from Hexon or Midzomre to Arcadia or Albion, where they are transferred to other trade routes. |
