A Martian-registered light freighter found abandoned after a violent, inexplicable seizure.
The Scopuli is a small transport ship attacked by armored men who remove or kill its crew while keeping Julie Mao imprisoned aboard. Its engineering deck becomes the site of a wet, pulsing growth that overtakes the reactor and incorporates Captain Darren.
The Scopuli is a compact working freighter with personnel decks, airlocks, a torpedo bay, a comm station, and a large vaulted engineering deck around its fusion reactor.
Its abandonment and horrifying interior make the Scopuli the immediate mystery drawing in the Canterbury's crew.
