Tanarith Class - Mynara

A Chyrithian short range Intergalactic Cruiser cruising about near the Eagle Nebula. It's 97ft long and can attain lightspeed X 10 to the 24th power. Space can be quite beautiful sometimes and this system is rich in gases that are being ionized by the energetic nearby star. The four scientists onboard are looking for something to terraform.

The Tanarith class, named after a small Liathran sea dragon, has a range of 16 million light years and is usually used for exploration in nearby galaxies or local stars. The range figure doesn't refer to fuel, which is infinite, but the distance before the ships Hypercapacitors "burn" and have to be replaced. Mynara has spares and he could easily go to Andromeda and back, or a one - way trip to Liathra in the Whirlpool Galaxy, safely.

If things do go wrong the "lifeboat" function is unique. Mynara would use his reserves to translate into a Tachyon Space form. There, subjected to Eternity, you would not age, or need food or water forever! Perhaps a Yiriim, which is a intelligent Tachyon life form would assist in your rescue. You could still be killed however, and become a part of Eternity permanently.

Mynara has a "quirk" as Chyrithian A.I.'s often do. He's one of the most maneuverable ships in the fleet and he delights in performing stunts that will make even a flying being airsick.

If anyone's wondering, this>[link] is a Chyrithian!
