Launched thousands of years ago by a clearly desperate civilization, this relic is found still struggling through space, toward a destination long forgotten.
What the exterior may once have looked like has long since been worn away, either through conflict, solar flares, or simple age. Now she resembles nothing so much as another asteroid; howbeit one with slightly more direction than most.
Still propelled even after all these years by one at least of her original Fusion-fired engines, she seems able to dodge at least the slower of the planets that may once have been a target for colonization.
Long before gravely control or coil thrusters made their advent onto the interstellar stage, simple Uranium Fission will keep this vessel powered for another several centuries.
Lacking gravely control, the ship was clearly designed to rotate, although its rate seems to have slowed considerably of late. Flora certainly seems to thrive in the main bay, although nothing has moved here to disturb it in a thousand years.
