EU Mallard

The Mallard was the first product of Earthen Union's efforts to realise the Origin Signal's fourth gift, faster than light travel.

Despite its Eon Drive only achieving an FTL gradient of 0.99, during its maiden voyage it was the fastest ship in the EU's fleet. As it was expected that the FTL gradient could never surpass 1.00, the Mallard was sent towards the Origin Signal in 3,424 on a mission that would take it over 100,000 years to complete.
