YSS Eucharis
About YSS Eucharis
Ship Emblem
The Eucharis emblem consists of the cool starship (in its original form) on a background of Yamataian space set within a red circle, surrounded by gold thread. The red circle represents the Ketsurui Clan, and the gold rope represents military (naval) service. The ship's motto does not appear on the emblem (it was designed before the ship had a motto). A patch version of the Eucharis emblem is worn by the crew on their uniforms.
Ship IRN
Ship Motto
The Eucharis' motto is “All Ways Superior.” This is a modification of “Quality, All Ways,” the motto of the YSS Sakura.
The motto refers to the crew's duty to keep on top of things (i.e. maintaining control of the situation) and to constantly work to remain technologically superior to the enemy. The wordplay between “All ways” and “Always” is deliberate and the motto is meant to serve as both expressions.
Ship Name
Like much of the Plumeria series, the ship is named after a type of flower1); Eucharis also was the name of a nymph 2). The primary meaning of the word Eucharis comes from the Greek kharisma, meaning grace or charm3) {the prefix “eu” denoting good or beautiful.}“4)

Modifications
Here's information unique to the Eucharis, such as modifications to its interior and its systems.
Map
Interior Spaces
Some parts of the Eucharis, especially on deck six and in the cargo bay, have a lingering odor of seawater. Other parts have the signs of fire–burn marks and a smoky odor–that are difficult to get rid of.
Bridge
The ship's bridge has a white and red color scheme (colors of the Ketsurui Clan) and has ship's emblem in the bridge carpeting. The original rear door was moved to the starboard side and replaced with an extra control station; a second door leading to the captain's suite was added.
The bridge entrance is sealed off by a Forcefield-Nested Isolation Door in addition to its normal Zesuaium blast shutter. The chairs on the bridge have also been replaced with softer, more adjustable models, which were later replaced with Starship Chair, Type 35.
In the RP, the bridge is often used for Mission Control.
Engineering
Docking Airlock
The YSS Eucharis has an additional docking airlock on the port side that leads to the main (zero-gravity) passageway. It is visible on the ship's exterior. The dock has an extra-long, extending flexible docking tube with an automatically adjusting end connector that is able to connect to nearly any other ship's airlock.
Wardroom
The Eucharis wardroom is divided into three sections: a lower level with two tables, a stairway to the lounge, and access to a bookroom; an upper level with the main table and buffet line; and the kitchen area, which contains food storage, preparation, and cooking areas.
The wardroom floor and tables are made of wood from Hanako's World; many ships of this class have marble floors. The ceiling has various paintings, including several of Yui and Hanako. There is also a window in the center of the ceiling–the only one on the ship.
Bookroom
Protected behind airtight glass cabinet doors, Hanako's collection of books is constantly growing in both subjects and volume.
Galley
Utensils
The Eucharis' has an interesting set of kitchen utensils. The ornate tableware is made of pure Platinum while the plates are black ceramic with a Platinum ring around their edges. Stoves use flames fed from an onboard supply of Methane created by the ship's recycling processes.
Walls
Hidden behind thick red velvet curtains, the port and starboard walls have been lined with a recessed multi-layer hydroponics system used to grow spinach, tomatoes, basil, and other herbs and vegetables. This helps the ship maintain a supply of quality ingredients when away from ports.
Near the entrance to the main passageway, other items on the wall include:
-
A bulletin board with:
-
-
The daily schedule and training plan
Various reports, safety warnings, and notes
Medical Center and Laboratory
Recreation Area
Systems
Computer and AI
The Eucharis has a special, heavily upgraded MEGAMI system, named Charisma. The AI was originally that of the YSS Sakura. Charisma is more powerful than other computers in her class and specializes in infiltration of other high-level computer systems. Hanako, having an exceptional grasp of computers, has put her expertise into Charisma; working together they are unstoppable.
In case of emergency, Hanako's station on the bridge has a hard reset switch for the computer.
Defenses
The YSS Eucharis' shield systems have been fortified to provide increased protection against subspace detonator-type weaponry; they can also act as a Mass Mesher. The ship's artificial gravity systems have been enhanced to better protect against scalar waves in the event of shield failure.
In mid YE 30, the crew equipped Eucharis with the first Entropy's Shroud Electronic Warfare Suite to be used on a Yamataian starship, but this was later replaced with the more effective Type 31 Electronic Warfare Suite when it became available.
Eucharis's crew outfitted the ship with a system of array capable of creating three dimensional images. This
Volumetric Projection Array can create the illusion of various starships or empty space. The projector has a range of up to thirty million kilometers (1/5th of an AU). The images are massless and sensors will not pick up a reading for the created objects.
Environmental Systems
The Eucharis has robust redundant environmental systems augmented by additional parts and installation kits acquired on the public markets. The Eucharis is also equipped with a water filtering system for water landings and a Hydrogen/Oxygen Distiller (just add water!).
Hull
Propulsion
Eucharis has two large, extra sublight engines.
Sensor Systems
The Eucharis is equipped with additional sensor systems, including: Quantum Mirrors set as trim around the dorsal and ventral edges and coated high-quality transparent Durandium covers. The Quantum Mirrors are also built into the forward sensor dish; Lorath-made sensors (Hyperspace and Subspace Monitoring, Quantum Sensors and Dimensional Sensors); a telepathic activity scanner; and weather monitoring equipment.
Towing Support
The Eucharis has a special attachment point at the aft of the ship that is designed to tow additional modules such as cargo pods and sensor arrays. On exploration missions, the Eucharis typically carries an Orbital Geological Survey Platform.
Weapons
Eucharis is more heavily armed than standard Plumeria gunships.
The standard Plumeria-class carries the following weaponry:
1
Ke-S3-W3020 Main Weapon Array (Tiers 13 through 15, Light Anti-Capital Ship through Heavy Anti-Capital Ship (
: Staff needs to determine which))

NMX) in progress.
Eucharis, Starling, Nadeshiko, and Aurora destroy four enemy-controlled Sakura-class gunships.
Eucharis and Starling attempt to break through the outer line. Eucharis is successful. Nadeshiko and Aurora follow and assist Starling. A formation of three enemy ships of unknown type pursues the squadron and destroys Starling. Aurora takes very heavy damage and is adrift and burning.
Hanako manages to get control of the dormant ship fleet just before Aries Star Fortress self-destructs.
Eucharis and Nadeshiko destroy one of the three pursuing ships (Eucharis' kill count: 5 ships). Eucharis and Nadeshiko then conceal themselves in the depot using their Type 30 Electronic Warfare Suites.
Eucharis deploys a shuttle and armor team to an Irim-class gunship to acquire a security key.
Eucharis crew members find the ship has been infested with small NMX insectoid creatures. Taisa Hanako kills most of them by sending a power surge through the ship's systems. Many systems are broken.
After evading NMX ships for an uncomfortably long time, the team returns and Hanako orders the depot fleet to self-destruct.
Eucharis returns to Yamatai for decontamination and repairs, during which the crew has shore leave for a day.
MISSION 8: Eucharis visits
Veritas on a mission to safeguard VIPs. Taisa Hanako: “Star Army Intelligence and Star Army Command speculate that Veritas, in Elysian space, is the next major target of the Mishhuvurthyar, given the Mishhuvurthyar strategy of attacking shipyards and ship depots. These shipyards have information and persons that should not allowed to fall into enemy hands, including teleportation units and plans for high-end Elysian starships. Our mission is to quietly and stealthily beat the Mishhuvurthyar to Veritas, extract the VIPs, and plant charges on the shipyard computers that we detonate should the Mishhuvurthyar begin to win a battle there.”
One crew member is killed by an enemy agent while three teams deploy from the ship.
First officer is killed in action.
Eucharis departs Veritas shipyard just before the shipyard self-destructs.
After its capture by the NMX, Eucharis fires on and destroys shuttle NG-X1-408-5 Telemachus II.
-
Upon arrival, the ship is targeted by a four-ship NMX escort squadron. With four ships against one, the situation quickly deteriorates and Eucharis takes significant damage. Fires and/or hull breaches occur on most of the front of the ship (Bridge, Captain's Suite, Engineering, Wardroom). Taisa Hanako evacuates to the recreation room and controls the ship via a VR station.
NMX Commandos board the ship via a torpedo and one places explosive charges in engineering. After they detonate, the ship loses power and helm control. This commando then ejects in an escape pod. A second commando proceeds to the armor bay, steals a power armor, all Eucharis' teleporter units, and shuttle NG-X1-408-1 Golden Apple, leaving the ship without shuttles.
Although thought dead after the ship's firefight, the VIPs were discovered safely hiding in a crew cabin.

YE 32
In Mission 9, Eucharis sent covert raiding teams aboard the enemy shipyard complex at Sbuhfaba in order to neutralize defenses before the Star Army's main attack force arrives. After they discovered prisoners and were detected by the NMX, things got deadly. The mission was a success, causing chaos prior to the fleet's arrival and the subsequent destruction of the shipyard complex. Eucharis teams managed to rescue ten prisoners and take one captive of their own. Eucharis then headed to Elysia Novus to recover and search the salvage.
MISSION 9.1: Eucharis travels to
Sbuhfaba, where it deploys covert raiding teams to board the enemy shipyard complex in order to neutralize defenses before the Star Army's main attack force arrives.
Hanako infiltrates a shipyard complex and manages to assume control of its computer.
Two teams board the central shipyard complex.
The teams are discovered when Jalen Sune (Alpha team leader) investigates screaming noises. He discovers a
NMX Butcher Room.
The teams split up; one attempts to rescue prisoners while the other plants charges.
Alpha team returns with ten surviving captives and one NMX prisoner, a Nekovalkyrja.
A total of seven crew members died during the mission.
MISSION 9.2: Eucharis hyperfolds to the Elysia Novus system for recovery.
YSS Frederick, an Odori-class Freighter, is destroyed by NMX stragglers before just the ship's arrival, but its cargo and most of its crew is recovered successfully.
A Nepleslian delegation arrives for treaty negotiations. The negotiations are not very successful and end early when the Nepleslian Senate is attacked by
NMX forces.
-
As Hanako and crew head towards
HX-13, they collide with a cloaked NMX scout. After defeating the scout, the opportunistic crew captures a live transponder system and two enemy Nekovalkyrja technicians from the
NMX Scout just before it self-destructs. Eucharis uses it and a volumetric disguise to impersonate the scout ship and enter NMX-controlled space.
After detecting a distress call, the Eucharis responds to a distress call by
SAINT agent
Taii Helen Klein who is fleeing in a
shuttle from a Lorath
Raptor-Class Expeditionary Ship and a
Tivurthinth-class patrol ship; both are damaged from combat.
Eucharis destroys the NMX ship and disguises herself as the
YSS Aeon. When the Lorath demand the agent's surrender, Eucharis retrieves the agent via power armor teleport and departs the area, but not before the Lorath discover the ship is actually the Eucharis. The Lorath then proceed to steal the agent's damaged shuttle, which self-destructs inside the Lorath ship.
Eucharis continues her mission.
Eucharis enters the HX-13 system under disguise and enters the atmosphere of the jungle planet. Crew members are able to located the remains of the Freedom's pieces and its airdropped vehicles and Taisa Hanako orders formation of a search party. A hurricane is approaching the river delta near the crash site, complicating the rescue operation.
Rascoe Voe dies when pushed from the ship without a parachute during deployment of the search party.
1 survivor (
Yaiba) is found and and she provides a list of the 9 original
Freedom survivors.
Eucharis deploys an STV fitted with speakers to alert the survivors in the area. The driver is fatally shot by an NMX sniper.
With the NMX now alerted, a shuttle is deployed to expeditiously pick up the survivors. It retrieves three YSS Freedom survivors:
Atsukoha Orohote,
Yaiba, and
Sukeharu.
Eucharis engages in combat with NMX gunboats to defend the shuttle.
