[b][u][color=blue]Ship Name:[/color][/u][/b] The Wayward Step

[b][u][color=blue]Universe Background:[/color][/u][/b] The Wayward Step was birthed from the complicated regions of the Jorgo Galaxy. Three coalition groups represent a wide range of alien races, each equipped with their own quirky peculiarities. These coalitions originally made an agreement to work under one governing body, but the intricacies of foreign system policy became too convoluted to navigate through. They decided to orchestrate a galactic war on the hope that they could downsize "troublesome" cultures, while simultaneously reshaping Jorgo's politics into a more uniform sovereignty. Long story short: They got the war they wanted, but not the preferred outcome. The coalition's war plans had somehow leaked into the net. Not to mention other shadier details behind their sinister schemes like catastrophes thought to have been caused by terrorist nations and war mongering aliens. The leak became the fuel that would set the entire galaxy ablaze. Jorgo would soon eat itself up from the inside out. The Wayward Step and its crew are the only known survivors to have escaped from their galaxy's massive implosion.

This organic bioship was created by the Exalted Hands of the Guidemasters, crafted unlike any other ship before it. The Wayward Step is a living vessel that links its entire crew through a neural interface. A capable volunteer has willingly given up her identity to become The Bridger. She is now symbiotic with the ship, forming a bridge between it and the crew. Because even though the crew are linked directly with The Wayward Step, a mediator must be present, one who psychically consults with its consciousness to keep it docile. If tempered beyond control, The Wayward Step can develop a mind of its own and operate independently.  
 
[b][u][color=blue]Unique Capabilities:[/color][/u][/b] The Wayward Step has the ability to morph its shape and function to accommodate different environments like land, sea, and of course, space. It has the guile of a living creature, therefore its overall patterns of movement is nothing like a conventional spaceship. Due to its bio-engineered makeup, its system cannot be hacked into with standard tech. All foreign bodies that come in contact with the ship are immediately detected by The Bridger and alerted to the crew. Its defense systems include psychically generated shields made by The Bridger, which are then amplified by the ship's consciousness. Should hull integrity be compromised, it has the ability to reallocate materials for temporarily patching up damaged areas. Farming mineral resources from asteroid belts, planets, and even ships, will then be required to maintain overall ship integrity. Weapons systems consist mainly of plasma cannons, but its bread and butter lies within its ability to "infect" other vessels. When in direct contact with other ships, it can detach a small piece of itself to roam freely for a short period of time. In that duration it can be used to compromise ventilation or hydroponics systems, and through the assistance of The Bridger within a limited distance of the ship, can infect living organisms and compromise immune systems.[/hider] 
  
[b][u][color=blue]History of the Ship:[/color][/u][/b] [i]It once had a name. Before it was chained down by The Exalted Hands and grafted into a vessel for science. Before it was called The Wayward Step, it was free and cognizant - roaming land, sea, and stardust on its own. Revered by many civilizations as a mythic creature, the all-thinkers of The Guidemasters carved out its soul and made it into their ark from Jorgo's destruction. Yet, in the end, they were not chosen to be saved. Perhaps it is the divine will of the Wayward beast. A karmic justice for those imprisoned by the Exalted Hand. We, who suffered through their despicable tests and agonizing experiments. When our galaxy was ending all around us, The Wayward Step somehow released us from our bonds. We escaped into its mouth and ventured away from oblivion, never turning back.[/i] - [i][b]Shipleader Nilu[/b][/i]

Her former life and name are no more. She is simply known as The Bridger. She, who is one with the ship, floats within the amniotic fluid of the Guidesphere above.[/hider]

Like the rest of the crew, Nilu was a test subject of the Exalted Hand. With the help of The Bridger, they escaped from their captors and boarded The Wayward Step. Shipmaster Nilu is the only person with a naval space fleet background.[/hider]
