RGRV Peacemaker

Liolesa's new, larger personal vessel, purchased by Maia during her vignette in Major Pieces. An armed yacht, converted from a mothballed Fleet vessel.

Can support 50 crew.

" A proper tour would have taken hours. The Peacemaker was ‘grander’ than the Visionary, which had been designed as a single-person ship. Maia had found this one hiding in the inventory of a contractor who converted mothballed Fleet vessels into private yachts, and the moment she had she’d pounced on it. Armed yachts weren’t unusual in the Alliance, though it was considered more of a status symbol than something to be taken seriously. But those vessels were built to civilian standards and then outfitted with weapons after the fact. They didn’t have a warship’s hull, shielding, engines; they didn’t have the redundancy and overbuilding the typical Fleet ship accepted as necessary and acceptable. For now, with the Alliance still reeling from the shock of the attacks, that contractor had more inventory than he had places to dock them; he had, in fact, been considering selling it all off at cost and going into some more lucrative business, which meant Maia had been able to pluck up her first choice for far cheaper than she’d hoped. She’d told him—before closing the deal—to stick it out a few more months; she fully expected the Pelted to shake off their numbness, but the fear would linger, and drive them to take security more seriously. So she’d brought home a ship that could support fifty crew, without compunction over the price or the grandness of it. She could fly it on her own, after all, and while it would have been handy to have crew she’d also picked up a complement of robotic assistants she could deploy if necessary. But she hadn’t really thought about how it would seem to anyone else until she’d started leading Liolesa through it. "
