Hidden from conventional sensors and navigation systems, the Warspite drifts through the astral planes, appearing only to those who possess the knowledge and courage to seek it out. It is a vessel shrouded in mystery, its presence known only to those who have glimpsed the veil between life and death.
- When Fiolette Yvarro is Aboard: In this scenario, the Warspite exhibits unusual sensor readings or anomalies due to Fiolette's unique connection to the Netherworld. Sensors may detect fluctuations in energy or the presence of ethereal phenomena surrounding the ship. These readings could be interpreted as anomalies or glitches in the sensor systems, potentially leading to confusion or suspicion among those monitoring the ship.
- When Fiolette Yvarro is Not Aboard: In Fiolette's absence, the Warspite appears more conventional on sensors, exhibiting standard energy signatures and readings consistent with its technological specifications. However, the vessel's reputation as a mysterious and enigmatic ship might still elicit curiosity or interest from observers, especially those familiar with its connection to Fiolette and the Netherworld.

Externally, the Warspite cuts a striking figure against the backdrop of space, its gleaming hull adorned with intricate Galidraani motifs and embellishments. Whilst maintaining its sharp Imperial design. Despite the rigors of space travel, the ship retains its flawless appearance, a testament to meticulous maintenance and care from its crew.
Step aboard the Warspite, and it is clear that Fiolette no longer found solace in the accents and designs of war. Rather she wished to be transported into a world of unparalleled luxury and sophistication. The interiors are reminiscent of the grandeur of a bygone era, evoking the lavishness of legendary Galidraani oceanic cruisers. Ornate chandeliers cast a warm glow over expansive halls adorned with fine marble floors and intricately carved wood paneling.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Warspite was Fiolette’s flagship long ago during what is now known as the Great Galactic War. It is this ship she remembered in her time in the Netherworld, while she burned, rotted, and burned again. The agonizing experience drove her to seek her way out of the Chaos-forsaken realm. To do so, Fiolette turned to what she knew best, shipwright.
There in the Nether, she had the ship built, piece by piece. It took her nearly forty years to complete it, and when it was done. Fiolette waited for an opportunity to break free from the bonds of hell. Her opportunity arose when the Sith Empire began to send legions of the undead onto Yavin. Each portal opened was another lock undone for the infamous Imperial.
All the while, Fiolette had but two goals and they were to seek retribution for the life of her son, and to reconnect with Taeli. It had been Fiolette’s own decision to leave the woman she loved. It had been a decision she had been willing to live with in life. In the afterlife, however? Where decades turned into an eternity, where time was merely an echo. She had a lot to consider, and think with regard to her actions and her behavior.
She thought about how their love blossomed, and how their union brought together two opposing worlds. How they had navigated the treacherous waters of the Sith Empire’s politicking. The solace they found with one another. Then it was Fiolette all on her own to go off and ruin a beautiful marriage. She had been the one who broke Taeli’s heart.
When that opportunity presented itself, when the Netherworld agreed to let her go. There was a price to be paid, the question of freedom would no longer haunt her soul. A fateful bargain had been struck, for in exchange for her freedom from the Netherworld’s grasp. Fiolette pledged to become the ferryman of the dead, forever bound to the ethereal realm.
The entities there asked Fiolette to give up her heart, the living, beating heart. She refused and said instead of leaving it there in the Nether. She would give it to someone who would keep it. A compromise was struck, the entities agreed that
Taeli Raaf
would have the living, beating heart but that Fiolette’s soul would be bound to Warspite. The vessel would be an extension of the Netherworld itself, so that they could always keep Fiolette close. With a heavy heart, Fiolette paid the ultimate price as her still beating heart was ripped from her chest and in its place, a dark ethereal machine. Her heart would be sealed away behind a unique pendant. Her soul bound to the ship and in doing so, it meant that Fiolette could not be away from the Warspite for long and that she must always return to it.
Worse, she had been informed that any living soul should step aboard. They would become part of the ship’s crew and slowly be turned into a droid whose automated functions would determine their fate for the rest of eternity. Finally, the entities of the Nether gave Fiolette one last condition, a penance they said with cruelty in their voices. Fiolette could never touch Taeli, beyond giving her the pendant in which her heart resides. Of which she was to do 'within a timely manner.' To do so would render the contract null and void, thereby robbing the Admiral of being able to see her beloved as it was the purpose of the bargain to begin with.
Note: This is a set piece, setting, but I am still very much willing to take hits in PvP scenarios.
