Drillship Renner

Name: Renner

Vehicle Type: Subterranean Digger

Affiliation: Neutral

Origin: Merah

History

Merah, an A-sphere reality that closely follows the timeline of Genesis on its surface, was infiltrated at an unknown point by a secret outpost of the Order. They established a base at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean near the Strait of Gibraltar and codenamed it Atlantis. From there the Order hoped to gain control of several underground societies that inhabited Merah, in the hopes of eventually invading the surface and controlling the reality completely.

The Order planned to do this by building a fleet of subterranean drillships at Atlantis soldiers and taking over underground civilizations one-by-one. But as soon as they finished their first working prototype, designated the Renner, it was stolen by a dissident by the name of Henrietta Greyfield. She then fled from Atlantean pursuit and sought refuge in one society after another, eventually assembling a second-rate crew that was in it as much for the money as for the idealism.

Crew
Captain : Henrietta “Hettie” Greyfield – an Atlantean dissident who originally steals the Renner and soon discovers that there is much more to this civilization she detests than a simply military base under the sea.

Status
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal">The Renner was destroyed in combat with the Order, after being chased almost to the center of the planet. All hands survived the battle and escaped. In the wake of he Renner 's destruction, the crew disbanded and scattered to the four corners of Merah. No replacement for the Renner was ever built. <p style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal">The crew have since disappeared from the record. However, they are not gone entirely. The right price or the right adventure might coax them out again one day.
