The Olympus is a micro-station spaceship that was built originally as a Hekayan science vessel but has since been salvaged by a OtherVerser crew. It was found during the Xenomorph event and under it's new crew it has been converted into a trade vessel.

About
Traveling between the various planets in Hiverspace, the Olympus and it's collected assets are comparable to a gypsy flotilla; taking cargo and crafters with it to profit as a moving service (and one that can act in the shadier levels of local laws). The Olympus usually reserves fuel by staying stationary and can remain self contained with it's recommended operating crew for upwards of 8 months if fully stocked. On a skeleton crew, this can almost double.
Name
It's name stems from a lacuna: a word in Hekayan that has no equivalent in Terran Standard. Roughly, it translates to 'The crest of a mountain where the gods lay their sleep' and refers to a specific Hekayan cultural myth. It was found appropriate to take the name Olympus in Standard, relating to the similar human mythology, and it has not been renamed (it is considered unlucky to rename a ship).
Owned Ships
Alongside the Olympus are three separate spaceships that provide services to the micro-station:
The Old Daisy - a sub-light transport ship designed to get occupants on and off the Olympus.
IND Laughing Fox - An Outverser transport and cargo ship that is used take passengers on and off the Olympus as well as act as a more portable get-around for the crew.
The Honey Pot - designed specifically for refueling the Olympus, it is a sub-light ship that can detach from the main hull to enable fuel to transported from stations or planets where the Olympus is unable to dock.
Defense
The Olympus, being designed as a scientific vessel, has no observable offensive measures such as weapon turrets or laser cannons and it's combat capabilities extend no further than heavy shields (designed to keep the ship alive and able to escape, under attack, with additional heat and radiation barriers to enable research in more dangerous conditions). It does have a retrofitted defense system, however, which has been kept concealed from the general public.
