Perhaps the oldest surviving aethership manufacturer, Opulos
Corporation began as a family business that built aetherships
for the God-Vessels, the ancient verthani priest caste. Dorin
Opulos was an Athano sailor and sea captain who combined
artistic talent with engineering sense. Long before the Gap, each
aethership was a unique work of art that glorified its God-Vessel
clients’ patron deities. A few of these original aetherships
still survive, turned into flying museums or refit with Drift
technology; diligent (and lucky) bargain hunters may even be
able to find one of these legendary ships rusting away in an
Akiton junkyard, unrecognized. Manufacturer Perk: Opulos starships can install 2 Guest
Quarters for a total of 1 BP and 1 PCU (instead of 1 BP and 1 PCU
each) and Luxurious Crew Quarters cost only 4 BP instead of 5.
But as Vercite culture shifted away from the old caste
structure, Opulos reinvented itself as a maker of extreme
luxury starships. Shortly after the Signal, the Opulos family
went public, opening the corporation to investors and
shareholders. They created a board of directors that—while still
dominated by Opulos family members—also includes worker
representatives, industry experts, and safety advocates. The
company then launched the Opulence line, a series of highly
customizable personal yachts for the fabulously wealthy.
The Opulence was at the heart of an enticing advertising
campaign that popularized the company’s brand throughout
the burgeoning Pact Worlds, and the success of this new
starship enabled Opulos Corporation to springboard into the
cruise line market, which it has since come to dominate. The
company’s new Overqueen line is an alternative to the Drift
Cruiser aimed at non-humanoid markets, equipped with a wide
variety of customizable living quarters and amenities that
serve every species from astrazoans to wrikreechees. Opulos is
the only major Vercite starship manufacturer that isn’t located
on Skydock; the company has clung to its traditional home in
Athano, where the old aethership construction yards are still
preserved as a historical site, with tour buses escorting visitors
there from the beautiful new shipyard facilities constructed
on the shore of Riversea. Unfortunately, the isolation of this
location makes it potentially vulnerable to corporate warfare,
and Opulos recently lost its security chief to an explosion.Starships
