Mnemosyne

"The Mnemosyne had never left Lyspair, except for the end of the Rite of Supremacy, and that one time it had left, it had been destroyed. The ship named for the mother of knowledge had fallen to those of which the Brotherhood had no knowledge."

―excerpt from "Drifting," a short story by Anshar Kahn Tarentae

Vessel Info

The Mnemosyne was a modified Nebulon B-2 frigate in the service of the Shadow Academy. The ship served as the command ship of the Shadow Academy and its primary mission was defense of the Academy. The ship was destroyed during the initial Yuuzhan Vong attack at the end of the Rite of Supremacy: Second Darkness.

History

The Mnemosyne was originally an unnamed frigate acquired by the clone of Grand Master Jac Cotelin. How the ship came into the clone’s possession is unknown, but during the crisis of the Seventh Great Jedi War, the ship came into possession of the “red” side of the conflict. Headmaster Anshar Kahn Tarentae, then acting as the Deputy Grandmaster of the "red" faction, took the ship as his personal command ship. Upon the conclusion of the conflict, Anshar (returning to his role as Headmaster) received permission from the Grandmaster and Deputy Grand Master to keep the ship. Naming the ship the Mnemosyne after the ancient goddess who gave birth to the Muses, the ship became the Shadow Academy’s command vessel.

The ship was modified to carry the armament found on the traditional Nebulon-B frigates. The ship still has its warhead launcher as well. She carried two squadrons of shielded TIE Interceptors. The ship remained in orbit around Lyspair until the end of the Rite of Supremacy known as Second Darkness. Then Headmaster Anshar Kahn Tarentae took the ship to the gathering of the Brotherhood fleet at the behest of Grand Master Sarin. However, at that time, the gathered Brotherhood fleet fell under attack from the Yuuzhan Vong. The Mnemosyne and her two squadrons of TIE Interceptors were destroyed in the battle, with Anshar being the only known survivor from the ship.
