Description


Though sometimes mistaken for cloud formations, Roselight Oracles are a common sight drifting through the colorful Liavaran skies. Most of these vessels are owned and operated by barathus at Roselight's Office of Commercial Interests (OCI). Ostensibly, Oracles monitor the environmental health of the gas giant and its denizens and patrol for unauthorized gas-mining activity. However, given the OCI's rampant corruption, Oracle patrol routes are frequently “adjusted” to benefit clients who pay under the table. Oracles are even occasionally lent out privately, as long as clients can cover the operating fees and provide a suitable bribe. The crew of an Oracle is assisted by scientists and researchers who constantly analyze the ship's surroundings. These researchers are usually associated with the Brethedan administration, but the OCI is not above taking bribes to grant third party individuals research stints onboard a patrolling Oracle. Though primarily used for observation and research, these ships are equipped with weapons capable of defending Roselight and approved mining operations from outside dangers.
The domed structure and high ceiling of a Roselight Oracle allow its systems to be arranged vertically in open space, giving barathus and other flying creatures with perfect maneuverability the ability to easily navigate the ship. The officer stations on older Oracles are on open platforms inaccessible to creatures who can't fly, but newer models include retractable ladders for non-barathu crew. While the officer quarters aboard these ships are of good quality and relatively spacious, the scientists dwell in more cramped conditions, sharing rooms with up to four bunks each.
The Roselight Oracle's design includes modular satellite bays, reflecting barathus' penchant for evolution and self-modification. These sections can be detached and replaced with different modules, making the ships easily customizable. The circular design of an Oracle also gives the ship improved maneuverability, and a complete set of escape pods is housed inside the ship's thick outer hull.
