DSS Epho

The DSS Epho was a Daerraphere Allied Space Command Explorer-class light shuttle. It was the short-lived, less popular "sister-ship" of the ''DSS Trinity. ''

Operational History
Launched just after the return of the DSS Trinity, Epho was sent on a mission to Daerraphere's Moon where it would wait for the next solar eclipse (the time when it would be closest to the Sun). From there, it's crew would begin to travel toward the sun to investigate what was later found to be the Crown of Decay, a ring of space debris in close orbit to Daerraphere's Sun. However, upon arrival, the DSS Epho and it's crew were smashed by space rock, and were never heard from again,

In 19 AGE, the Daerraphere Allied Space Command sent a squadron of heavily fortified ship to retrieve the wreckage. However, the ship had already been scavenged by aurorans, and only the hull remained.

Trivia

 * Despite being a perfect replica of the DSS Trinity, Epho was rumored to have been designed with 10% less armor than it's sister-ship. However, no records indicate that this design was intentional, or an miscalculation.
