History

Original Name: TSV Astral Vulture

TSV = Tidesworn Vessel, a corporate prefix used by a now-dissolved Brethedan gas-harvesting conglomerate called Tidesworn Industries.

Backstory:

• The Astral Vulture was originally a Kevolari Venture-Class Ships survey hauler, used to shuttle rare gas canisters and prototype tech from Bretheda’s deeper layers.
• It vanished seven years ago during a violent solar flare drift jump—presumed destroyed.
• In reality, the ship was hijacked by mercs, gutted, re-skinned, and quietly sold on the Free Captain gray market, where Julzakama “acquired” it under mysterious terms.
