CSA Calypso

Background: Calypso actually predates the Beagle, having been built at around the time Star's End was constructed. From the start, she was intended to perform the long, arduous, deep-space survey of the Horizon beyond Star's End. Lately under Lt. Emily Wright, founder of the CSA Scouts, the Calypso has conducted four deep-space missions and is still capable of many more years of service. Her motto, translated, is 'Truth and Light'.
