=Physical Description= ==Exterior== Bones of quicksilver and plates of gold. She is like neither bird, nor dragon, nor fish – no inspiration was taken from nature in her design. And there is no trace of the baroque grandeur that, winding its way from Solar past to fallen present, infects the empire. She just is. A silent presence that moves in unheard way – a mirror-sheened spindle that reflects the uncaring cosmos; stars and all the colours of the void playing from featureless stem to featureless stern: all seamless function, and beautiful because of it. ==Interior== Water plays in channels at the feet. It winds gently throughout corridor and conduit – splashing, as water does, into pool and pond as corridor gives way to room and low ceilings sweep upwards. In this ship’s deepest guts, and on her skin exposed to space, you will find metal aplenty. But within her passageways and cabins, that metal is only seen in streaks: within, wood, instead, is the material of choice; smooth and hard, bursting into branch and bow, leaf and tree whenever it can. Flowers and blossoms, too, can be found within; floating on the streams, plucked from above, or sat upon the furnishings. Here, technology is felt, not seen – called forth, not present. And in its place, antiquated architecture and traditional design present their timeless facades. Perhaps you will hear songbirds above you? Hidden by the sun-lights or cloaked by the moonshade shadows. Perhaps you with glimpse the ‘passengers’ as they scurry, hither and yon, to do their maintenance. Or perhaps you will see Maroon with tea in-hand: enjoying, as she does, the ship gardens – of her own design, and of herself.
