![]() In the end, two shuttles successfully reached the Ishimura. After navigating through the debris field created by the planet crack, the shuttles were fired upon by the Ishimura's ADS cannons for violating the no-fly order. Several survivors attempted to reach the Ishimura using the colony's remaining shuttles. Further contact with one of the mining teams revealed nothing about the colony's fate as they were killed by unknown hostiles. Once contact was re-established, the crew discovered that the entire colony was being slaughtered. Once this was accomplished, the crew of the Ishimura began planet crack operations with the cover put in place to hide their true agenda.Ĭoinciding with the planet crack, the Ishimura briefly lost all contact with the colony. Upon arriving at Aegis VII, the Ishimura’s commanding officer and a devout Unitologist, Captain Mathius gave a no-fly order with the exception that the Marker, all related data and corpses should be moved to the Ishimura. to have several high ranking Unitologists posted in key positions on the Ishimura in an effort to return it to the Church. News of the Red Marker's discovery also reached the Church of Unitology, who proceeded to use their vast influence within the C.E.C. learned about the Aegis VII Colony's discovery of the Marker, the Ishimura was dispatched to recover the Marker and transport it back to Earth. fleet along with her venerable prestige as the largest Planet-Cracker class ship. ![]() Despite her long years of service, the Ishimura was still the pride of the C.E.C. She was still in remarkable shape with much of her equipment upgraded and many sections refitted to take advantage of continuing advances in technology. She had a dedicated medical wing where extensive research into virology, toxins and genetics was conducted.Īt the time that Marker 3A was discovered on Aegis VII, the Ishimura was 62 years old and had a record of highest number of planet crack operations, having done 34 to date. Despite being designed primarily as a mining vessel, the Ishimura also functioned as a medical research vessel. The Ishimura had the ability to lock onto the asteroids and pull them into her massive collection bays for smelting. She was also the first ship capable of the "scan and catch technique" for harvesting mineral-rich asteroids by using huge gravity tethers. She was created for mining and smelting entire planets and moons. Built in 2446, the Ishimura was hailed as the savior of Earth and the colonies and a symbol of mankind's innovation.
