-The Yggdrasill was originally designed to be able to perform Search, Rescue, and Salvage operations, which is why the original Yggdrasill was made with grapplers, more medical capabilities, and a slight expansion of the cargo bay.  However, as the missions went on, the Yggdrasill found itself in more dangerous situations, and the flagship found herself lagging behind the capabilities of the three [[stararmy:starship_classes:ke-f8_transport]]s also in service in her fleet.  With the fortune of [[character:yuki_toshiro]] growing, and the salvaged systems the ship was finding sometimes superior to those actually in use on the flagship, the decision was made to design the Yggdrasill Kai to bring the ship to more modern specifications.+The Yggdrasill was originally designed to be able to perform Search, Rescue, and Salvage operations, which is why the original Yggdrasill was made with grapplers, more medical capabilities, and a slight expansion of the cargo bay.  However, as the missions went on, the Yggdrasill found itself in more dangerous situations, and the flagship found herself lagging behind the capabilities of the three [[stararmy:starship_classes:ke-f8_transport]]s also in service in her fleet.  With the fortune of [[characters:yamatai:yuki_toshiro]] growing, and the salvaged systems the ship was finding sometimes superior to those actually in use on the flagship, the decision was made to design the Yggdrasill Kai to bring the ship to more modern specifications.

 Requested through Zero Fleet's offices, the original Vampire’s design was made to fulfill the requirements of a potential privateer. Practically speeding through the design process, the ship still managed to fit in a few unique features of its own, including a ramp at the bottom of the ship's rear to load and unload ground vehicles.  Later, in the Yggdrasill, this had an airlock system added to it to allow mid-space loading and unloading. Requested through Zero Fleet's offices, the original Vampire’s design was made to fulfill the requirements of a potential privateer.

-[[character:Yuki Toshiro]], a Yamataian fresh from his home world trying to start a new salvage and repair company, had the idea of going to battlefields to recover supplies, but heard that debris fields prevented all but mecha from navigating them.  Civilian mecha, however, can not store a great deal of debris and carry it back, nor protect the pilot from radiation over regular use.  Even in spaces large enough for a small, 15 meter vessel, a normal ship wasn’t maneuverable enough to risk going too far into a battle-made debris field.  Seeing the Vampire his older brother, a Star Army pilot gone MIA, left to him, with its decent firepower, reasonably modest size, speed, maneuverability, cargo space, and quad-[[stararmy:systems:graviton_beam_projector]]s, Toshiro saw a ship that showed a great deal of promise.  In addition, Toshiro saw that the Yggdrasill could as easily be used to pick damaged mecha, survivors, and escape pods out of debris as anything else.  After a great deal of work, salvage, design, and refinement, the Yggdrasill was completed, one of the few civilian SRS (Search, Rescue, Salvage) vessel designs.  The Yggdrasill also had places over the engines for a circular custom or army insignia. The one pictured above is that of the original Yggdrasill, piloted by Toshiro Yuki, with his family totem.+[[characters:yamatai:yuki_toshiro]], a Yamataian fresh from his home world trying to start a new salvage and repair company, had the idea of going to battlefields to recover supplies, but heard that debris fields prevented all but mecha from navigating them.  Civilian mecha, however, can not store a great deal of debris and carry it back, nor protect the pilot from radiation over regular use.  Even in spaces large enough for a small, 15 meter vessel, a normal ship wasn’t maneuverable enough to risk going too far into a battle-made debris field.  Seeing the Vampire his older brother, a Star Army pilot gone MIA, left to him, with its decent firepower, reasonably modest size, speed, maneuverability, cargo space, and quad-[[stararmy:systems:graviton_beam_projector]]s, Toshiro saw a ship that showed a great deal of promise.  In addition, Toshiro saw that the Yggdrasill could as easily be used to pick damaged mecha, survivors, and escape pods out of debris as anything else.  After a great deal of work, salvage, design, and refinement, the Yggdrasill was completed, one of the few civilian SRS (Search, Rescue, Salvage) vessel designs.  The Yggdrasill also had places over the engines for a circular custom or army insignia.

 The Yggdrasill’s paint scheme is to make it contrast to the mercenary-piloted Vampires, and be easily recognizable as a private vessel.  Also, it features some interesting applications which make it a novelty in space when compared to other ships.  All in all, the Yggdrasill, fittingly named after the tree of life, is both a ship that can save lives, and a ship as unique as the big brother he looked up to.  Unlike some of the other civilian ships, meant for mercenaries and pirates, the Yggdrasill is a labor of a missing pilot’s legacy and a younger brother’s love. The Yggdrasill’s paint scheme is to make it contrast to the mercenary-piloted Vampires, and be easily recognizable as a private vessel.  Also, it features some interesting applications which make it a novelty in space when compared to other ships.  All in all, the Yggdrasill, fittingly named after the tree of life, is both a ship that can save lives, and a ship as unique as the big brother he looked up to.  Unlike some of the other civilian ships, meant for mercenaries and pirates, the Yggdrasill is a labor of a missing pilot’s legacy and a younger brother’s love.
