The Miranda was originally a transport vessel employed by the Earth Union to move personnel and equipment among Earth and the colonies. Her hull registration number was EC-1611, and her motto was “astra non obligant,” or, “the stars do not bind us.” Her crew at the time of the Advent wore this patch, which is still found painted, albeit faded, in various locations throughout the ship. It features the astronomical symbol for Uranus’ moon Miranda superimposed over the Milky Way.
Post-Advent, the ship continues to serve its original purpose, now in the ownership of Ottoman merchant and black-marketeer Mustafa Ali Pasha.
