To inform those who have seen the large red
spaceship on the beach, it is occupied by more than the captain alone. My name is Shelley Godwin and I am the navigator and helmsman of the Durandal, the ship in question. The captain is the Little Master, or also known as Gaignun Kukai Jr. Most, not under employment to the Kukai Foundation, address Little Master as Jr.
The Durandal was owned by the Kukai Foundation, which in turn was run by Gaignun Kukai, or Master Gaignun. However... After certain events transpired, ownership has now fallen to Master Gaignun's heir, the Little Master.
The Kukai Foundation is a special organization established after the end of the Miltian Conflict, with the sole purpose of subjugating the remains of the U-TIC organization. Since then, most of its military forces have been decommissioned, and the other divisions branched off into sprawling, independent civilian corporations, thus forming the basis of the foundation's present structure.
The Foundation is also the name of the mobile base of operations, which has increased in size to become equal to that of a small population. The Kukai Foundation can move throughout space due to its ability to link with the space ship Durandal.
The Durandal is extremely advanced in both warfare and comfort/recreation. Its primary weapons consist of over a thousand photon torpedo tubes, a main frontal laser cannon, and several hundred railgun batteries. With all other combat ships it has a force-shielding system. Locations within the Durandal include the park (complete with a viewport that takes up almost the entire far side of the room), the residential area, and the main bridge.
At over 4000 meters long, the Durandal's appearance is that of a red sword in space with two orbiters, that resemble wings, circling around it. When docked with the Kukai Foundation, these wings rotate at the structure's bottom, adding to the elaborate design of the combined objects. Moreover, the Durandal's sheer size allows it to carry a wide array of anti-Gnosis laser weapons. However, both the Dämmerung and Abel's Ark have a much greater size and capacity than the Durandal.
I trust this is sufficient to information on the subject, should there be any questions.
