SCARAB Ship
The "Spelljamming Capable, Astral Reconnaissance And Boarding" (aka - SCARAB) class vessel is a custom Spelljamming Vehicle crafted by Cassius Az'Reald Darkthorn during his time on Toril and 'brought to life' during The Ritual. The ship resembles a gigantic, golden, desert beetle and was a common motif in the city of Athkatla, at location from their homeworld that continues to inspire Cassius and Arcadia on their journey. The beetle and insectoid design is a motif that has fascinated the eccentric Artificer since the days of his youth, and are actually representative of an ancient civilization known as the 'High Imaskar'.
The 'Wings' of the ship must be deployed when operating in locations with atmosphere and a gravity plane strong enough to attract the vehicle in order to maintain enough lift to remain airborne. This is most common when attempting to land or take off from planets, moons, and asteroids. Once safely landed or while traveling through Wildspace and The Astral Sea there is no need to keep the Wings deployed.
As of the moment, this ship is a one-of-a-kind vessel, it's maiden variant known as 'The Eve'.
