Scouting the Caracus galaxy
The Mephistopheles is a scout ship of the Earth Federation navy. First constructed in 2328, it was later rebuilt and recommissioned in 2385. During its first mission to chart the Caracus galaxy, a metal box was discovered and brought aboard, leading to the events of 7 Days A Skeptic.
Design[]
The small vessel is equipped to house around half a dozen people. Waste recycling via nanomachines makes it self-sufficient and able to make long voyages with few supplies required. The room is cramped, the air is stale, and the food is bad, but there is everything needed to accomplish its mission.
The ship layout is divided into decks, each with its own function, accessible via an elevator. Service tunnels also run between floors, although they are only intended for repairs and inspection by the ship's engineer.
