The Mishhuvurthyar were starting to really scare the Empire in YE 28. Concerned the Mishhuvurthyar would overrun Yamatai (Planet), and because of a number of other age-old issues, the Nepleslian government seceded from the Yamatai Star Empire. A couple weeks before they did, Geshrinari Shipyards received orders to start work on a new battleship that would be a “symbol of Nepleslian military might” and that would be “as good as Star Army of Yamatai ships.” The project was assigned to Clark Thompson and his Elysian assistant, Abdyel. Over the course of many meetings (and romantic encounters), Clark and Abby created an impressive yet impractical design.
