Stover
The Stover arrives to escort People's Home, a euphemism for occupying the wounded void city and installing Captain Perkins over its returned population.
Story so far
The Stover is a Laconian destroyer assigned to People's Home after Sol's surrender. By the time it arrives, most of the void city's evacuated population has returned. Its escort mission gives Captain Rowman Perkins and power-armored Marines direct control of the former union capital.
The ship's presence makes resistance or independent movement impossible while allowing daily civic life to resume. Drummer understands “escort” as occupation: the Stover is the local force behind her house arrest, Perkins's authority, and People's Home's subservient journey behind the Heart of the Tempest to TSL-5.
Appearance
A modern Laconian destroyer of familiar human proportions, stationed close beside the much larger wounded void city it controls with troops and weapons.
Role
The Stover is the occupation vessel that converts People's Home from a surrendered battleship into a governed imperial population center.
