CSA Elysia

Description: Escort and combat ship.

Background: The Hunter-class corvette Elysia remained strictly neutral during the Civil War; while they supported the loyalist faction, they knew that extended fighting would hurt Cygnus more than anything else. To honor this committment to the ideals of Cygnus, their motto was changed from 'Triumph of Five Rings', an obscure reference to Miyamoto Musashi's Book of Five Rings, to 'In Defense of Paradise.' Elysia was badly mauled by the Cthulhi darkstar Nephru-Ka, and had to be completely rebuilt as a Valhalla-class corvette. Since then, her mission has always been to protect Deneb.
