In November of [[3067]] it took off from the hidden world of [[Jardine]] under [[Adept-Captain]] [[Petra Inagi]]. Other named crew members included [[Acolyte]] Ru Yuen, an "olive-skinned Jardine native with black hair and eyes"; first officer Adept Jakab Lantos, a pale-faced, green-eyed man with short-cropped brown hair and a goatee; Adept Modesto Kaha who was heavily augmented with cybernetic implants (possibly [[Manei Domini]]); junior tech Acolyte Ellick Senne; Acolyte Olanu; and Adepts Monro, Sykes and Lorne. Unbeknownst to the crew, [[Brooklyn Stevens]], [[Tibor Mitternacht]] and [[Alahni]] were also aboard the ''Agravain'' to escape from Jardine. They felt the ship made a factory-fresh impression, built [[Brigadier Corporation]] at [[Gibson]].<ref name=EJ7>''The Quest for Jardine'', book 3: ''Escape from Jardine'', ch. 7</ref>

The stowaways broke into the engineering room and secured it in a firefight in an attempt to gain control of the ship, but failed to lock out the bridge. In the subsequent fight throughout the ship, the entire crew of the ''Agravain'' was killed (except for three crewmen whose fate is uncertain and who might have escaped on a life pod and a [[small craft]]), but not before they had scrammed the ship's fusion reactor, leaving the ship a drifting, unpressurized and effectively dead derelict moving through space with a slight tumble. Stevens, Mitternacht and Alahni eventually used an unspecified [[aerospace fighter]] (apparently a ''[[Striga]]'') from the hangar to leave the ''Agravain''; as the ship was unpowered they could not use the launch catapult but had to use the fighter's weapons to blast a hole into the hangar bay door.<ref>''The Quest for Jardine'', book 3: ''Escape from Jardine'', chs. 8, 11</ref>

The ultimate fate of the ''Agravain'' after this was not described, but it seems unlikely that the wreck which was drifting off into deep space was recovered.
 
 
 
==Notes==
 
*The cover used for the standalone publication of ''Escape from Jardine'' depicts a ''Merlin''-class DropShip bearing the Word of Blake insignia; context strongly implies that this would be the ''Agravain'' as it leaves Jardine.
