Witch of Endor
A Pa-aligned conscription ship destroyed by the Free Navy, its death becomes Marco's warning that dissent will be hunted down.
Story so far
The Witch of Endor was part of Michio Pa's conscription squadron, commanded by Carl al-Dujaili and positioned as an early test of whether Pa's revolt could spread. It begins recovering the supply caches once scattered by the Free Navy, acting on Pa's changed priorities.
Marco's forces identify it as rogue, chase it under punishing acceleration, and destroy it with a torpedo after its PDC fire fails to save it. The public recording of the kill answers Pa's mutiny with terror rather than debate: every ship considering her cause now knows that Marco has chosen to make an example of them.
Appearance
