Known Vehicle Quirks
None. Odd, isn't it?
Unknown Vehicle Quirks
The Epsilon Blade has developed a personality at the "puppy dog" level of awareness, and feels some affection for its pilot. This is not known to its pilot or the rest of the crew, and will likely remain unknown unless a different pilot attempts to fly the ship.
Trivia
- The Epsilon Blade is named after two deceased friends of the ship's owner.
- The engines were twin ion thrusters before being handwaved.
- The ship bears a remarkable resemblance to the parachronic conveyers illustrated in the roleplaying supplement GURPS Infinite Worlds; it is not, however, capable of interdimensional travel.
