Merryweather III to Launch from Thessia

via Talis Fia Trader's Journal

If you asked an asari what came to mind when you said the word “Merryweather,” you'd certainly hear about exquisite fashion, soul-captivating sculptures and unsurpassed healing arts. It is, after all, what’s been associated with the millennia-long voyage of Thessian artisan ship Merryweather and her successors. The third ship to bear the name will leave her drydock above Thessia with a grand ceremony next week, captained by Matriarch Pella Varnas, who stood at the helm of the Merryweather II.

The first Merryweather launched in 473 CE, Pella's grandmother as its captain. The ship sailed between Citadel worlds, establishing a reputation for expensive and exceptional luxury goods until the Krogan Rebellions wrecked the vessel in 704 CE while in transit between the Kite's Nest and Annos Basin regions.

The second Merryweather launched in 793 CE after the Rebellions has subsided, this time with Varnas’ mother as its first captain. The artisan ship continued the tradition of the first vessel's crew, undergoing countless refits through the centuries, and finally serving as a hospital ship in the Reaper War before being crippled and scuttled.

When asked if she’d picked a replacement for when she steps down, Varnas commented that "wandering the stars runs in my family's bloodline, if this tradition is any indication. My daughter will surely take up the helm when time gets the better of me, but that's still a century or two away!"

Freelancing Omegan gutterscum desperately jacking off to his imaginary moral superiority it is.
