History
The logs of the Grace's Kiss start in 3011 and during these sixty years no maintenance problems aside from common wear and tear have been noted in the Kiss's log for the last sixty years, and all previous operators reported her a proven and reliable vessel.
In December 3071 the ship was was last seen orbiting Marantha before heading for the nadir jump point to link up with the White Star Lines JumpShip Tabitha. The JumpShip captain reported the DropShip missing when he arrived at the zenith point at Campoleone after having waited 60 hours for its arrival.
Word of Blake Precentor Harrison Blume (one of the senior administrators in the Abbey District) was listed as a passenger in Grace's Kiss. The leading suspicion at the present time is foul play though it is possible that some deep-space malady affected her course, no distress or warning beacons have been discovered thus far in the Marantha system and Precentor Harrison Blume is not a member of the Word of Blake Militia and therefore a non-combatant leading conspiracy theories point to a rogue military unit may have apprehended the DropShip for the purposes of capturing the Precentor and using him to ransom the Word of Blake.[1]
After the chaos of the Jihad, it is not known if the ship was found or not.[citation needed]
