==History==
The '''''Divine Providence''''' was an ''[[Overlord]]''-class [[DropShip]].<ref name=H>''Homecoming'', in :''AeroTech 2 Revised'', pp. 7-8</ref> As of [[2973]] it served with [[ComStar]]'s [[Explorer Corps (ComStar)|Explorer Corps]].<ref name=CS45>''ComStar'', p. 45 ("Reasonable Force" sidebar)</ref>

The '''''Divine Providence''''' was a [[DropShip]] of unspecified type serving with [[ComStar]]'s [[Explorer Corps]].
  
According to a report filed by crew member [[Adept]] [[Antonian Nokaj]] in November 2973, the Explorer Corps vessel ''Divine Providence'' had visited the [[deep periphery]] planet [[Trentwash II]] beyond the [[Elysian Fields]]. The planet had apparently had no contact with outsiders for about three centuries and was proud of its history as a [[Rim Worlds Republic]] colony. The natives subsequently attacked the vessel with antique weapons and killed seventeen out of a crew of twenty. In an action he later regretted, Nokaj (as the senior Adept) turned the ship's weapons on the natives and their ancient city. Only a handful survived.<ref name=CS45/>

By the time of the [[Jihad]], the ''Divine Providence'' was operated by the [[Word of Blake]]. The ''Divine Providence'' was destroyed by the Warship ''[[Acari]]'' on or shortly after 25 October [[3068]], after ''[[Shiva]]'' [[aerospace fighter]]s deployed from the ''Divine Providence'' had dropped nerve gas on the parading [[Knights of the Inner Sphere]] and spectators on [[Atreus (FWL)#Atreus III|Atreus]].<ref name=H/> (Though the story is undated, other sources such as ''[[Jihad Turning Points: Atreus]]'', p. 8, establish that this attack was carried out on 25 October 3068.)
