Vanderpoele

Presidential vessel

A vessel reserved for the Transport Union president forms one piece of Drummer's vast, fragmented, and increasingly impersonal official household.

Story so far

The Vanderpoele remains at the disposal of Camina Drummer for as long as she holds the presidency of the Transport Union. It is one among many spaces assigned to her across stations, moons, and void cities.

Rather than making her feel rooted, access to the vessel contributes to her sense that the office has minced a palace into pieces and scattered it across light-years. It contrasts with Saba's Malaclypse, whose crew, cargo, and captain's cabin still represent a concrete working home.

Appearance
