Ship

Created Saturday 12 November 2022

A यम 山? I'm thinking no, but that knights' ships may be then.

Anyway, I think hers is also a specialty ship. I'm thinking looks like a piece of machinery from an old car engine, thinking it most certainly is wrapped in ablative. ("Dust diapers" they're called.) If you're going in shooting with a γ-gun, your most important foes would be those who were also shooting with γ-guns. Go in shooting quickly, your biggest worry are those who can also shoot quickly. (I guess that's always among your worries, but still.)

The γ-gun is shaped like a 3-pointed star with rounded, curving edges. It itself curves, but only so slightly.
It is mounted to an awkward clump of bulbs: The gyroscopes designed to quickly turn and steady the γ-gun array.

And still can't think of a good name. Maybe somehow a riff on H0 or dragons. More in either direction seems cliche though, doesn't it? No, this has to stand on its own.

Inscribed on the hull is:
NF F NS NC
Apparently, like "R.I.P." many ancient Romans had "non fui, fui, non sum, non curo," inscribed on their graves meaning “I was not; I was; I am not; I do not care.” A epicurist philosophy.

Maybe a customized yama?
No, hers is one of a kind. And old. She built it, but all who use H0 fly her.
And, sure, her ship inspired the yama class of ships. Big impulse thrusters and Deus ex plant with a spindly ship sticking out with all main guns mounted forward. A needle meant to fly straight into and out of a system through even the narrowest of jump holes.

No, her ship's name is the Yonaki Tsubaki.

Just because she cried didn't mean she didn't pull the trigger.
