Log Entries from "Elysium's Shield"

Entry From: Zylar Vespertine
Vessel: ZSS-Defiance
Location at time of Log Entry: Livadia Shipyards, Omicron Kappa
Subject: Resurrections Part 2

I'm completely surprised. I'm floored even!

They told me the Nephilim would be in drydock for possibly months or years before it was ready to fly again. It seems they pulled in a lot of helping hands to get the ship back to operational status. Not only that, they used some kind of experimental tech from the Corinth Annex to automate several functions that the ship would ordinarily require a human being for. This allows us to use the ship with less crew and possibly even field the ship in the defense against the Nomads. Something that we sorely need. They also used that tech to aid with the reconstruction efforts, significantly speeding along the timetable for the ship being finished. I'm very surprised that the ship was completed at the speed that it was.

We've been thinking long and hard about what name the ship should be changed to. The vessel was destroyed twice and has returned from the dead both times stronger than it had been before. The name Defiance was always present in my mind, and that's what she's been renamed to. The ZSS-Defiance specifically. The ZSS standing for "Zoner Sky Ship".

At great risk, we took the ship into Omicron Delta for field tests. Propulsion, weapons, those kinds of things. After engaging Cruise, we came upon an Order agent having some difficulties against some Nomad gunboats. Seeing this as a chance to test our weapons systems, we moved to intercept the squids. Within a few moments, scanners were clear. The Order agent thanked us for our assistance and departed to repair their vessel. Seeing that all systems were nominal, we returned to Kappa to have the last of the systems reintegrated and the armor installed.

We're not giving up command of the Eventide either. The vessel will remain the primary ship for engaging Nomads within the Omicrons. The Nephilim is just too big and unwieldly to be utilized in any major skirmishes with the Nomads. It's basically a sitting duck when it comes to any engagements of things above Gunboats or Cruisers and don't want to risk the vessel for a third time. If it becomes necessary to field the ship due to hostilities, then we're already in trouble.

We will be returning the ship to Omicron Delta after the armor has been reapplied. We expect to be back at Freeport 11 within the hour.

It's amazing the things technology can do...
