History:
Built in the year 1925 on the planet Silva, theIllumine was
designed to be the flagship ofthe Silvan Planetary Defenses entire
unit of Carrier-class ships. It was designed to rival the size
of a dreadnought in order to carry about 3 times the ships as a
Carrier of typical size. Its

construction was met with some resistance when designs were
submitted to the Galactic Alliance
for approval, as some saw it as an aggressive move. However, due
to its low defense capability,
the Galactic Alliance approved the ships designs on the basis
that its carrying capacity wasmerely to make up for its low ability
of self-reliance.
As Silva was careful to remain the neutral part in all planetary
combat, the Illumine sawvery little deployment, only being deployed
a handful of times in the 60 years of its activity.
In 1985, theIllumine was the target of a secret operation by the
rising rebellion againstthe Silvan government. Operation Firestorm,
as it is now known, included the sabotage of the
Illumines engines and computer core. Both were rigged with
high-impact explosives which
crippled the ship while in Silvas orbit. This event marked the
beginning of the 96-year long civil
war that ravaged the planet afterward. As a result of the
government being occupied withfighting the rebellion, theIllumine
was effectively abandoned after all personnel and ships
evacuated the carrier. However, despite its indefinite
abandonment it was still officially owned
by the Silvan military.
This fact did not stop various scavenging teams to salvage
theIllumine nearly 20 years
after the civil war began by collaborating with each other and
slowly towing it while the Silvanmilitary was preoccupied with its
terrestrial war. As the Galactic Alliance has a policy on
remaining neutral in the cases of civil wars, unless such a
situation would significantly hinder
galactic progress, they made no motion to cease such an
action.
It took 2 years for the salvage teams to tow the carrier to a
hidden location. Only in the
year 2011 did it emerge with a new computer core and the engines
salvage from a
decommissioned dreadnought. It took one year for those salvage
teams to reap its massive profitwhen it was purchased a Uerathynd
pirate by the name of Morak KiaadUerat.
Over the 3 years it became active and little by little the
former oversized carrier wasturned into what is called a Combat
Carrier-class vessel, a class designed to be close to combat
much like a dreadnought, yet with the carrying capacity of a
Carrier. This was accomplished by
the addition of heavy armaments and sensor scramblers. Through
infamy and the conquering ofsmaller pirate outfits, the newly
christenedBloodoath served as the mothership to the rapidly
growing KiaadUerat pirate company; a ship fearsome enough for
the Galactic Allaince to leave
untouched as long as it didnt move to conquer colonies or
planets, and a ship fearsome enough
to be able to fell a true dreadnought if given enough time to
get off 2 or 3 shots of its main gun.
Late in the year 2036, theBloodoath was ambushed the PMC Paragon
Armaments
Incorporated and crippled by the companies dreadnought-class
motherships main gun. After thedefeat of the KiaadUerats, Paragon
Armaments acquired it as their own. As their forces were
currently supporting the rebels on Silva, they had no intention
or obligation to return the ship to
the Silvan government. The Galactic Alliance confirmed that
unless the Silvan government madean official demand to have the
ship returned, they could not take any action to claim it from
Paragon Armaments, Inc. TheBloodoath vanished then, put into
storage at an unknown location,
despite the potential value it had to the evangelist
company.

In 2082, when the bloody civil war of Silva finally came to an
end with the rebels rising
victorious over the crumbled former Silvan government, talks
began with allies Paragon
Armaments to return the carrier as a historical monument. An
agreement was reached and theship was carefully returned to the
surface after the artillery added by the KiaadUerats was
removed and its original state was restored. It currently stands
as a monument and museumwhere the former Silvan capital once stood,
celebrating the successful rebellion that was started
in the very same operation in which it was involved.
