The Colossus
Roque's captured flagship, renamed Tyr Morga—'Morning Star'—by Sefi; Darrow's new war-home and the ship that razes Ganymede's docks.
Story so far
Seized from within by Darrow's clawDrill assault, Roque's eight-kilometer MoonBreaker the Colossus becomes the Rising's greatest prize at Ilium. Keeping her capture secret, Darrow uses her to deceive Romulus and then turns her port batteries on Ganymede's two-hundred-fifty-year-old shipyards, laying waste to the monument of Gold industry that built her—'the girl must eat her mother.' Awed and, for the first time, frightened by what a warship can do, Sefi the Quiet is asked to rename the vessel and chooses without hesitation: Tyr Morga, which means Morning Star. Now Darrow's flagship and the seat of the Rising's fleet, she inherits Roque's stateroom—his books, his opera, his trophies—preserved like a spirit in amber, and sails to bear the war to the Core.

Role
