====== CSSV Aeolus ======

The [[CSA|Central Solar Science Vessel]] //Aeolus// was a massive Atlas Moth-class cruiser commissioned by the [[Jupiter|Jovian navy]] for the purposes of exploring the [[Wilderness|far reaches of the Solar system]]. It called for a skeleton crew of twenty people, with a full complement of over one hundred individual crewmembers and berths for twenty to thirty passengers or observers, with the remaining space taken up by cryogenic stasis cells, cutting-edge science, life support and administration facilities. The vessel boasted one of the largest and most powerful [[ship propulsion|wave inception systems]] ever designed, and almost bankrupted the planetary authority in the process of paying out the contracts required to construct it.

Unfortunately within six months of the shakedown voyage, the //Aeolus// plotted a regulation wave jump to a minor celestial oddity, spooled its drive, and vanished, presumed lost with all hands. To this date it plagues the far extremities of the [[Oort cloud]] as a ghost ship, but all reasonable conclusions point to a catastrophic failure and the total loss of the vessel and everyone aboard her.
