Objective:

Battlespire X-008 “Reman’s Sword” was used as an early detection reconnaisance craft to alert the empire of any impending danger from the waters of oblivion.

History:

3E334 – Approval for the construction of 8 (X-001 through X-008) Pelinal Class Battlespires, for use in covert reconnaisance granted approval from the Elder Council.

3E339 – Construction of X-008 complete. Commander and crew to be assigned.

3E340 – All X- classified battlespires are given greenlight to begin operations

3E342 – “The Apocrypha Debacle". X-008 (along with X-007 & X-005) responds to a distress call coming from X-003, orbiting apocrypha. 278 of the 330 crew of X-003 have abandoned the ship to investigate and remain on Apocrypha. Without adequate staff, the X-003 had come under the grip of Apocrypha, and was being drawn into the plane. Imperial command issued a stay on rescue mission into Apocrypha, and the remaining 52 members aboard X-003 were safely rescued. Remaining Crew of X-003 deemed MIA.

3E345 – “The Battle of Coldharbor” – Denizens from Coldharbor begin the siege of X-004. Remaining X- classified battlespires in the operational area (X-008, X-007, X-005, X-002, X-001) join to reinforce. X-004 is captured by Coldharbor Daedra, and is crashed into X-001. X-007 is heavily damaged, though a succesful evacuation to the remaining battlespires is made. Imperial command orders a tactical retreat after the loss of X-002. Total losses reach 4 Battlespires, and 216 crew confirmed KIA, with another 1104 labeled MIA.

3E347 – “Rescue of Legate Martonius Ardor” – A teleportation misshap aboard X-008, causes a Legate to be stranded in the Realm of Quagmire. Shadow Legion is dispatched, and a comatose Legate Martonius Ardor is retrieved. Legate’s condition was said to be stable, but in a state of indefinite sleep.

3E350 – “Final Reports” – During operations surveilling Quagmire, it is noted that sitrep’s from X-008 become increasingly far and few in between. Notes of a strange gas leaking from the medical bays have rendered several of the hands unconcious, and unable to perform duty. A rescue battlespire is dispatched, but no sign of the X-008 is found. Search and Rescue through the waters of oblivion is conducted, though no results are shown.

3E355 – Imperial Battlespire X-008 “Reman’s Sword” Declared MIA, all hands declared MIA.
