History
Constructed in 2259 as a sublight interstellar trade ship. Near the end of the Wars of Control, in 2498, the military commander Nex had gotten on board. There he functioned as a crew member, assisting with the various forms of maintanance of the ship, as well as being the primary communicator between colonies, due to his leadership past. In 2549, while the ship was orbiting Ak'Thakra, trading and doing business with the fledgling colony, a rival ship crew boarded the ship, killed most on board, and sabotaged the ships engines to slow it down, sending it to the planet below. The remaining crew was able to eject the various animatter-related equipment from the ship, and the Void Traveller crashed into the rocky wastes of the planet below. From there, all of the crew, save for Nex, left the ship to seek refuge in nearby cities. The ship has stayed where it crashed ever since.
