VaultShip Epsilon was one of six VaultShips commissioned by Clan Jade Falcon in 3132 in response to the Blackout, to stabilize the Kerensky by using the assets stored aboard the vessel for trade along the Clan Occupation Zones.[1] These VaultShips were reconfigured Mule-class DropShips.
For the purpose of this article, VaultShip Epsilon is considered to be the name of the individual VaultShip. It is ultimately unclear if this was the true name of the DropShip itself (which would have existed, presumably under another name, before the conversion), or if it referred to the DropShip's role with its entire task force which would invariably encompass a JumpShip with a Lithium-Fusion Battery and assorted escort assets including at least an assault DropShip and a Trinary of troops.
Operational History[edit]
Epsilon's operating area was the various Clan Sea Fox Khanates, and most of its travels were along set routes. As with all of other VaultShips, its initial Trinary was composed of elite warriors, but after 3137 they were moved to the Golden Ordun and replaced by solahma and dezgra warriors, the dregs of the Falcon touman, proving how little the new Khan, Malvina Hazen, appreciated the ships' vital work.[2]
After Malvina began her move to Terra, she ordered all VaultShips returned to Sudeten and emptied of their contents. Merchant Factor Marena, who was aboard Alpha, ignored the order. With the HPG Blackout and the confusion of orders to mobilize the Falcon's full touman, Marena gambled on the hunch that Malvina could not understand what a VaultShip was. This forced Malvina to depart without the Clan's money.[3]
In late June 3151, Marena took Alyina to form her new mercantile state, the Alyina Mercantile League, and called all VaultShips to their space. It is unknown if Epsilon obeyed the order or was even able to do so.[4] As of January 3152, the Epsilon had evidently been declared missing and was being searched for by Clan Sea Fox on the League's behalf. One of the Foxes' JumpShips went to Draconis Combine space to search it, but, at least initially, without success.[5]
