| The ''Nightingale'' is a modified [[Prometheus-class Star Craft]] and the flagship of [[Spree Razzix|Dr. Spree Razzix]].
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| The ''Nightingale'' is a wholly unique spacecraft, designed specifically as a mobile research vessel. It sports cutting-edge computing and medical technology, as well as a versatile combat, propulsion, and scanning capabilities. Until its creation, the only documented Prometheus-class ships in existence were constructed during the [[First_Galactic_Civil_War|Clone Wars]]. Through great expense of time, money, and research, Dr. Razzix had found prototype blueprints to the ship. Through even more effort, the vratix had secured a large, private shipyard for its production. He cashed in every favor he could to hire the best and brightest shipwrights, engineers, and scientists to work on the project. After almost a year on the production line, the ship was completed on [[Year 19|Day 330 of Year 19]].
| |
| | |
| Its name is inspired by "The Lady with the Lamp", an ancient tale about a healer working with soldiers, training other healers, and performing groundbreaking public health research. Spree first heard this tale on Thyferra as he was just beginning his life as a physician. Her story, however real or mythological it may be, inspired him and shaped his outlook on the medical field forever. The Lady with the Lamp was known only as Nightingale.
| |
| | |
| ==Namesake==
| |
| While the full myth of the Lady with the Lamp is not documented in writing, there have been many works of art completed in her name. Within the ''Nightingale'' is a small plaque enshrining the following poem:
| |
| | |
| ===The Lady with the Lamp===
| |
| | |
| In the barracks late at night<br>
| |
| the wounded soldiers cried.<br>
| |
| Their screams echoed down the halls<br>
| |
| as their brothers and sisters died.<br><br>
| |
| Sights and smells and sounds of death<br>
| |
| cycled through their thoughts.<br>
| |
| The pitch-black rooms, the blasts of guns<br>
| |
| turned even hardened souls in knots.<br><br>
| |
| Behold! From the darkness comes a light,<br>
| |
| brought by a woman's graces.<br>
| |
| The Lady with a Lamp had finally come,<br>
| |
| bringing hope to warriors' faces.<br><br>
| |
| With healing hands she flit about,<br>
| |
| tending injured, weak, and frail.<br>
| |
| The angel of the battlefield,<br>
| |
| known as the Nightingale.
| |
| | |
| ==Current Use==
| |
| Currently, Dr. Razzix uses the ship for his month-long research expeditions. Its powerful sensor array as well as landing capacity allows for the vratix to investigate both terrestrial as well as astronomical curiosities, of which he has many.
