Muted Requiem

The Leviathan Class V NTS Muted Requiem is a aerial and aquatic carrier ship currently owned by Captain Pace Ouedraogo. The Muted Requiem is also functionally the name of the faction that its crew makes up, as one of the six factions that the Nacrine Tide consists of.

Ship
The NTS Muted Requiem is a carrier ship in the shape of a sea serpent's head. Its exterior is plated in copper, much of which has a heavy layer of patina, in which the reflections of oceanic light can be seen even when the carrier is nowhere near water. It has both a launch deck on top and launch pods for aerial deployment nestled inside of its ribbed exterior. It's powered by a repurposed melody drive—it's not capable of Singing Deep travel, but it allows it to traverse aerial space, and also powers its enormous Crescendo-Cannon. This melody engine causes the Muted Requiem to leave behind a trail of inert tehomic discharge when it's flying, forming a sort of illusory body for its serpentine head.

In addition to the Crescendo-Cannon, the Requiem is also equipped with Nacre Obbligado Arks, often simply called ARKs, which are tehoma-powered defensive turrets.

Strike Team
The Muted Requiem's main function is currently the deployment of a guerilla strike team, which is made up of augmented ace pilot C, tactician Meory Virgo, the Psalm Symbol, and the diplomatic specialist Danica Arkose.
