The Singularity Ballet was heralded as the future of star travel. It stood as the largest star freighter ever constructed, adeptly designed to transport passengers and cargo across the realms of all eight known races—though the enigmatic Sathar were, of course, excluded from this list! The ship boasted an array of features, including advanced cold storage, super-heated storage, and optimized suspended animation facilities.
Renowned for its cutting-edge loading and transfer docks nestled within its expansive landing bay, the Singularity Ballet was a true engineering wonder. However, its real marvel lay in its propulsion systems: the first-ever Quantum Ion Faster Than Light (FTL) Drives.
Following countless computer simulations and a successful scale model demonstration, the Singularity Ballet was brought to life by the mega-corporation Zephran Dynamics, with construction handled by its subsidiary, Frontier Spaceship Manufacturing Corporation. Eager to capitalize on its investment and recoup some of the hefty construction costs, Zephran Dynamics opened the Singularity Ballet to travelers and businesses looking to ship goods across the galaxy. The response surpassed expectations, and soon, Zephran Dynamics found itself close to recovering its initial investment by launch day.
On launch day, a flurry of media coverage, festive celebrations, and political speeches surrounded the event. The Singularity Ballet lifted off flawlessly.
However, celebration soon turned to despair as it missed its first stop, and then its second. Hours passed without any sign of the ship re-emerging from FTL space, prompting multiple star systems to mobilize military and civilian search teams. Days turned into an agonizing wait, yet the Singularity Ballet remained elusive.
As a month slipped by, Zephran Dynamics found itself besieged by lawsuits. Fortunately, the company had fortified its position by including a clause in their tickets:
“anyone boarding the Singularity Ballet acknowledged that it was an experimental spacecraft, thus willingly accepting the inherent risks—including the possibility of death.”
Nevertheless, the mounting pressure from distraught families of passengers, secondary merchant guilds, and insurance companies forced Zephran Dynamics to take action. They urgently sought answers and hired a dedicated team to investigate the fate of the Singularity Ballet and uncover the truth behind its mysterious disappearance.
