Here is the chronological history of the Vehicle:
27 March 2671: The vessel was first constructed, commissioned as a standard bulk freighter named the Void's Lament. For an indeterminate period, it served its original purpose, transporting cargo across various sectors.
July 2711: After an unknown duration adrift, the Void's Lament was discovered by the Red Sun Dominion. It was salvaged and subsequently subjected to extensive modifications at a classified shipyard. Its substantial cargo capacity was sacrificed, replaced by thick ablative plating and military-grade point defense cannons.
The retrofits also included an advanced energy signature dampening system, typically reserved for stealth corvettes. This dramatic transformation hinted at a new, clandestine purpose for the former freighter.
July 2746: The ship officially vanished from all Dominion records, becoming a ghost in the vastness of space. Rumors, however, began to circulate in the darker corners of Sector 36. Whispers suggested its new mission was far from benign, involving the transport of biological assets, political dissidents, and victims of the Dominion’s forced psionic awakening experiments.
April 2751: Three months prior to its current listing, the modified vessel was discovered drifting once more, this time in the desolate Dead Zone between sectors. A crew of Mortal Veil scavengers found its hull intact, a testament to its robust Dominion upgrades. However, the interior was frozen solid and completely devoid of atmosphere, yet eerily empty of any bodies.
A chilling log entry was recovered, referencing a "containment breach of a non-physical nature." Deep scratches found on the inside of the airlock doors offered a disturbing clue to the fate of its previous occupants. Despite the intact hull, the interior held a silent, horrifying story.
Between April and July 2751: Attempts to ready the ship for salvage proved to be fraught with difficulty. The last two crews dispatched to board the vessel reported increasingly vivid nightmares and a series of severe mechanical failures. These malfunctions consistently defied all diagnostic efforts, hinting at something beyond mere technical faults.
July 2751 (Current Status): The Vehicle is presently listed for auction as "salvage ready," offered at a significantly reduced price. Its unsettling history and the unexplained phenomena experienced by recent crews contribute to its current infamous status.
