Spontaneous RP Weekend

The ship had floated there, suspended in deep space, slowly spinning end-over-end surrounded by its own debris field, for what looked like a long time. What had happened out here to render the Venator-class Destroyer a lifeless hulk? Certainly, there had been a fight of some magnitude, as even a superficial scan of the 1100 meter vessel shows significant structural damage. Her back was broken, the result of severe close-range turbolaser damage and apparent explosion damage from within. The port main dorsal hangar door was mostly gone, and much of the debris field would seem to originate from the ship's hangar. The starfighter command and control bridge was a tattered mess of steel, as if a giant can opener had trimmed it from the superstructure. The port space station docking ring was a gaping maw, seemingly the result of a massive explosion that had removed much of the central ventral fuselage, leaving in its place buckled hull plates and blackened compartments. The ship was a mess.

But was it completely lifeless? At irregular intervals, power fluctuations cane be seen throughout the darkened ship, bringing temporary power back to several decks. At these moments, power spikes can be read from the main reactor, and fires rage from the ruined ventral structural damage, only to be quenched minutes later when the power fails again. How many decks are free from hull breaches? Could there be people alive inside? 

The Starboard command bridge looks mostly free from damage, as does the Starboard forecastle crewed areas amidships. But the most pressing question: what ship is this? She wears the markings of the Imperial Navy, not the Republic, which should aid in dating the hulk. Enterprising individuals who venture close enough to discover exterior markings will eventually discover that this ship is the 'Nomad.' Holonet searches will reveal that the Nomad was a support carrier that was lost during the Thrawn campaign, but little else is mentioned, which is odd, as most Naval ships histories are public domain. It's like this particular ship's past has been erased...
