Alternity: The Elements of Eternity - Starships

[Dave ST]

Machiavellian Rue, The

An incredibly fast ship that is absolutely alien in origin and technology. Currently in possession of a mercenary known as Jon Erebus it makes jumps across the Ominiverse a fraction of the speed it takes most ships with prototype drive systems.

Despite claims of ‘being lost’ several times, it always finds its way back into the ownership of Erebus. He’s been known to loan it out from time to time.
