The only gun on the ''Aetherius Aeternum'' left unmolested by the extensive refurbishments after it mysteriously re-appeared, ''Blaze-Bringer'' is an ancient and beautiful device. The massive breech-loading cannon is staffed by almost eight thousand ratings, and for a good reason. The massive, thirty meter long warheads are pulled from the ship's munitions storage almost entirely unaided by machines. Sweating drag-gangs spend long minutes of backbreaking labour until at last the shell is loaded.<br> | The only gun on the ''Aetherius Aeternum'' left unmolested by the extensive refurbishments after it mysteriously re-appeared, ''Blaze-Bringer'' is an ancient and beautiful device.

Commissioned by Agamemmnon Exaviar Viaticus, the cannon's breech is framed by two fifteen-meter tall statues of gilded adamantine. The left, arms outstretched, holds in its hands a planet of unknown contours, whilst the right statue holds a massive sword raised in an overhead blow. As such, the primary purpose of this gun has never been forgotten: To bring the flames of war to planets that offend the Lord-Captains of House Viaticus.<br> | Commissioned by Agamemmnon Exaviar Viaticus, the cannon's breech is framed by two fifteen-meter tall statues of gilded adamantine.

The gigantic armored prow of the ''Aetherius Aeternum'', installed after a lengthy debate between the Lord-Captain and his command crew. Replacing an old prow-mounted macrocannon battery, the new prow is a menacing thing: Painted in the silver-on-black color scheme of House Viaticus, nearly .75 megatonnes of adamantium have been fashioned into the face of a swooping Imperial Eagle, the twin heads sporting tremendous beaks, which serve as the actual breachers for ramming operations.<br> | The gigantic armored prow of the ''Aetherius Aeternum'', installed after a lengthy debate between the Lord-Captain and his command crew.

Here, in this vaulted room that smells of grease and incense, is where the sacred machine oil is made. In a large stone pool on a raised dais, the glistening substance sits, infinitesimal bubbles rising to the surface from deep below. Along the walls are troughs and tubes that are used to mix compounded metals with a base of purest promethium - the resulting substance is poured into the central pool regularly. Over the course of five and a half days, this mixture, made holy by the sacred machine oil remaining in the great vat, transforms into more of the necessary unguent, aided by the constant pulse of electricity through wires that criss-cross over the surface.<br> | Here, in this vaulted room that smells of grease and incense, is where the sacred machine oil is made.

Rising to prominence as the leader of a band of pirates, this vessel terrorized the sub-sector for many years. |
Ambushed by the newly-regained flagship and captured in a daring boarding action by the new captain, [[Lord-Captain Alexis Nikolaos Viaticus]], it is currently undergoing purification before being brought back into faithful service. All its former crew were killed due to their servitude to a captain willing to bind a daemon into himself to fight off the vessel's rightful owners. | Ambushed by the newly-regained flagship and captured in a daring boarding action by the new captain, [[Lord-Captain Alexis Nikolaos Viaticus]], it is currently undergoing purification before being brought back into faithful service.
