*Pilots Federation ALERT*
The dredger belonging to the Scriveners Clan has left the Perseus Dark Region KC-V c2-2 system, where the Hesperus megaship is located.
The 200-year-old âghost shipâ, once owned by Azimuth Biochemicals, was discovered in April when the nomadic clan began salvaging it for materials and data.
Erik Gunnarson of the Wallglass Investigations Agency speculated:
âWhen the Scriveners laid claim to the Hesperus, I expected only a cloud of fragments would remain. But their salvage operation has been prematurely abandoned, after stripping the megashipâs innards and leaving behind a mostly intact hull.â
âWhy have they done this? Perhaps because this particular dredger clan avoids outsiders. Public interest in the Hesperus inspired thousands of curious travellers to see it for themselves, potentially drawing more scrutiny than the secretive tribe could bear.â
âAlternatively, the Scriveners detected richer pickings elsewhere â either fresh resources for the dredger to consume or new information for their âKnowledge Coreâ. In theory they could still be tracked down as their vesselâs hyperdrive has a similar range to modern-day fleet carriers.â
âWe know very little about the Scriveners, and even less about other clans. However, with the recent appearance of the Blue Viper Club dredger at Kumo City, Iâm hopeful more may be revealed about these roaming societies.â
