UECNS Hekate (DNX-0008)

For the other vessel named UECNS Hekate, see UECNS Hekate (DNX-0008.2).

UECNS Hekate was an incomplete Nemesis-class deep space fleet engagement vessel intended to follow the UECNS Nemesis into service with the United Earth Confederacy Navy. Before it could be completed, it was captured intact by the Compact force that took Sol. In 2794, it was assigned to a Compact research team to reverse-engineer the breach core and displacement engine as all records pertaining to their development or construction had been lost when the Lunar Prime Naval Shipyard was destroyed.

Because of the Compact's hate of AI (and the high chance Red Two would have purposefully caused a breach core overload if they left her connected), it was disconnected and removed from the ship. This led to the displacement engine's destabilisation without an AI overseeing its function. The resulting shockspace breach "unravelled" the moon the hulk was orbiting, as well as causing all useful data on the hulk to be lost when everything in the immediate vicinity of the ship was erased from reality.
