Daedalus is a reconditioned Imaskari battlecruiser, though to be originally crafted prior to -5000 DR. It was found in an ancient, buried hangar in Threskel by Raynar Thrul, who learned of its location by examining clues in the shipboard computers of Icarus.
In 1380 DR, Raynar's Prometheus Initiative completed a preliminary reconditioning of the ship, retrofitting its power systems with Energist cells to allow it to activate. It has flown only twice in that time; once, to reach the Initiative's central base in Aglarond, and again on 30 Eleint to do battle with the Knights of the Last Sunrise at Thaymount, an act which drained its priceless reserve of Energists to almost zero power.
Capabilities
Mobility
Daedalus possesses three drive systems:
- A gravimetric drive, allowing motion within a Toril-normal gravity well at up to 225 miles in altitude, with maximum lateral acceleration of 0.34 g
- A magnetoplasmodynamic rocket drive, allowing forward acceleration of up to 0.64 g, as well as translation and attitude adjustments.
- An unknown jump drive.
The former two drives can work under primary or auxiliary power; the jump drive requires main power, and, as such, has not yet been activated.
Combat
Daedalus has several weapons systems, only some of which the Prometheus Initiative has been able to comprehend.
Most of its low-power modules are fitted with chemically-propelled mass driver cannons. Ammunition was found on board, but the chemical explosives within the shells has been ruined by intervening time. Some of the cannons were retrofitted to run on arcane power, throwing traditional, alchemical explosive rounds.
