Deusura I (DEUSURA 1, Deusura 1)[6][7] was a Zoellugut-class First Class Astro Combat Ship[8], and the personal flagship of Great Garmillas Empire ruler Abelt Desler until its destruction.
History[]
Operational history[]
Deusura I was the first Zoellugut-class First Class Astro Combat Ship. It was essentially identical to other super dreadnoughts of its class, but as Desler's personal flagship, the bridge was given an ornate gold design that resembled the throne room of the imperial palace in the capital city of Baleras. The ship's hull was painted in the distinctive blue of the Imperial Guard fleet, and the bridge crew was composed of Imperial Guard officers.
In 2199, the dreadnought left with an Imperial Guard escort on its way to the planet Balun for an inspection tour. A member of Desler's cabinet, Inspector General Herm Zoellik, used the tour as an opportunity to assassinate Desler by having the ship's main engine sabotaged. Before the ship could transit the Geschtam gate leading to Balun, the engine overloaded and exploded, destroying Deusura I and killing everyone aboard, including a body double posing as Leader Desler.[7]
Legacy[]
Blame for the ship's destruction was initially pinned on two loyal members of the imperial military, allowing Zoellik to move ahead with his plot to take the imperial throne for himself[9]. However, with the real Desler operating in the shadows and receiving help from other members of his cabinet, the sabotage of Deusura I eventually paved the way to derailing the ambitious inspector general's plans.[10]
The ship's official function as Desler's personal flagship was eventually replaced by a more powerful vessel, Deusura II.[11]
Notes[]
- According to 2202 SF advisor Shinya Ogura the ship is named after the territory of the Desler family[12]
