Irim made the design a "pet project" of hers and the prototype (affectionately named "YSS Swan") was built in [[timeline:ye_28]]. Five test ship followed, serving active duty in the [[stararmy:fleets:first_expeditionary_fleet]].

-After the Sakura's destruction, Hanako sought an improved version of the ship that had served her so well. [[corp:ketsurui_fleet_yards]] constructed the first of the new class, [[stararmy:starships:yss_plumeria]] (NG-X1-390), in late [[timeline:ye_29]] and Hanako used it to execute a daring and risky attack on the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:sfrarabla_mishhuvurthyar_xhrafuklurp]] headquarters. The design was so well-liked within the [[stararmy:start]], that production of the [[stararmy:starship_classes:sakura_gunship]] for the [[stararmy:fleets:first_expeditionary_fleet]] was halted in favor of the //Plumeria// series. By the end of [[timeline:ye_30]], most //Sakura// had been disassembled and rebuilt as //Plumeria//; at that time, the //Plumeria-class// also saw a surge in new production as the Star Army added several new fleets to the [[stararmy:start|roster]].+After the Sakura's destruction, Hanako sought an improved version of the ship that had served her so well.

 By mid [[timeline:ye_31]], the [[timeline:events:second_mishhuvurthyar_war]] was in full swing and starships were in short supply. //Plumeria// Gunships, now performing a wide range of missions, were upgraded to be more versatile and more heavily armed through addition of new systems, new engines, and external turrets.

The Lounge also has a bunch of bolted-down furniture like soft leather couches and coffee tables running around the edges of the room. Lamps on some of the tables and in a circle around the ceiling provide soft, white lighting, focusing on the open area in the middle corresponding with the Hinomaru. A small nook located off to the side contains a coffeemaker, icemaker, microwave, mini-fridge, and a small drink bar. Note that the Lounge is not a dining area.

 Located on Deck 2, the Volumetrics Room is intended for recreation, training, and briefings. It is an evolution of the [[:stararmy:starship_classes:yui_7_scout#recreation_area|Recreation Area]] of the [[:stararmy:starship_classes:yui_7_scout]], with all surfaces coated with anti-scuff coatings and able to be concealed by volumetric projections. Force fields have been added to provide tactile feedback to simulations as well as to slide people back imperceptibly when they try to walk too close to a wall or change elevation. In this way, simulations larger than the room would normally permit are possible and can be safely employed. Simulations can also make people appear and sound further away than they are and nudge them away from collisions with each other if necessary to further add to the illusion. Located on Deck 2, the Volumetrics Room is intended for recreation, training, and briefings.

All people will be shown in their actual locations as well. It should also be noted that the Volumetrics Room cannot be used during [[:stararmy:readiness_condition]] 1 or 2 unless permitted by the CO for specific uses such as briefings.+This force field sliding can be disabled easily if desired; but small markers will appear to show the walls, floor, and ceiling boundaries while the door to the room becomes visible as a safety measure.

 Uses of the Volumetric Room include consuming media en masse, holding briefings with visual aids, relaying briefings from alternate locations (such as the Wardroom or Meeting Room), training, running combat simulations, showing simulations of home or other relaxing venues, large scale communications, as a pre-mission staging area, or even for making crew members run laps as punishment. It is also sometimes still used to prank new crew with the old “walking out into open space” trick first employed on the Yui 7. Uses of the Volumetric Room include consuming media en masse, holding briefings with visual aids, relaying briefings from alternate locations (such as the Wardroom or Meeting Room), training, running combat simulations, showing simulations of home or other relaxing venues, large scale communications, as a pre-mission staging area, or even for making crew members run laps as punishment.
