STARSHIP OVERVIEW

Originally owned by Scallio's father Endiver, The Rusted Wrench previously named The Renegade has played many roles throughout Scallio's life. Some of them good and some of them bad, but all of them important.

Three times as old as Scallio, and having seen two captains before him, his father not included. It should come as no surprise that The Rusted Wrench has a long and detailed history. A majority of which, Scallio is entirely unaware of and will likely never know.

Besides, as far he's concerned, her story doesn't truly begin until the day she met his father.

Offered as payment from a mobster, who had acquired her upon the 'accidental' death of her then captain. Endiver had originally been hesitant to take the ship in place of Zeni. It was only due to his brother's wise words that Endiver agreed to take her as payment. Upon his acquisition of her, Endiver changed her name from Maroon Monkey to The Renegade. A moniker that she'd still have a nearly two decades later.

Despite already being well into her forties and extensively used at the time Endiver had been handed her keys. The Rusted Wrench had very few signs of wear and tear. In fact, Endiver and his brother were shocked at how well taken care of she'd been. They were even more surprised to learn that she'd been outfitted with a state-of-the-art engine and top-of-the-line weapons.

Her first few years under Endiver's ownership went by without issue. The mercenary and his crew made sure to take excellent care of her. That all changed, however, with the passing of Endiver's brother and the decline of the Crimson Apes reputation that followed after it.

Endiver, who'd become crippled with depression and obsessed with fathering a son he felt worthy to replace him. Allowed the condition of the ship to slowly decline. She became stained with rust, her old age on display for the entire galaxy to see.

It was in her state of neglect that she'd played the first of her roles for Scallio. Born inside her medical bay, the infant Saiyan and the decades-old ship had only just begun their lives together.

As he grew up Scallio would become intimately familiar with even the most forgotten sections of The Rusted Wrench. Trapped within her iron walls, at times she'd be his only friend and source of comfort. Even so, she eventually began to feel like a prison, one he was desperate to escape from. Yet, at eighteen when the chance came to leave her behind forever, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He'd grown too attached and she'd become far too important to merely leave behind.

Then along came Narissa, a Heran unlike any other that had walked her walls. She, perhaps even more than Scallio, could see the beauty underneath the decade's worth of rust. It was a long process and progress didn't truly come until after Scallio allied with the Saiyan Kingdom.

But eventually, Narissa managed to restore her to her former glory and then some.
