The Nomai who settled the Solar System would later craft a new advanced warp core, inspired by the advanced warp core once used to power their Vessel, in order to power the Ash Twin Project. The original advanced warp core that once powered the Vessel has been long since rendered inert, having been damaged beyond repair during the crash. The Vessel features a housing unit for an Advanced Warp Core, an extremely powerful and complex piece of Nomai technology used a power source that allowed the Vessel to warp across space instantaneously. This leads to the Vessel's node which contains no Anglerfish. Once the three Anglerfish can no longer be heard breathing loudly, it is possible to use the thrusters carefully to follow the Scout's signal. You can pass through their light appendages without it counting as touching them. Alternatively, you can reduce your speed to almost nothing, and feather the forward thruster at such a low level (one acceleration bar or below) that your ship will pass by the fish - very slowly - without alerting them. To reach the Vessel safely, it is important to pick up enough speed before going through the node and then not using the Ship's thrusters or reshooting your scout after entering the node. (Once you have reached The Vessel for the first time, you can use the 'Show in HUD' option in your computer to have its location indicated without using the Scout.) The node that glows bright red can be entered with the Ship, but inside the node are three Anglerfish directly at the entrance. Firing the Scout into this seed reveals two duplicate locations leading to the Vessel. Following the light trail left by the Nomai from Escape Pod 3 leads to the Nomai Grave, a small seed surrounded by Nomai corpses. The Vessel can be found by following the distress beacon coming from Escape Pod 3. The Vessel is located within its own chamber deep within Dark Bramble. The Nest node from which to access the Vessel The survivors of Escape Pods 1 and 2, now marooned, settled the Solar System and continued their search for the mysterious signal that brought them to the Solar System, which they dubbed the Eye of the Universe. Their limited oxygen supply and the confusion caused by the layout of Dark Bramble caused the entire crew of Escape Pod 3 to perish while trying to find a way back to the Vessel. With their Escape Pod inoperable, the occupants, including Escall, attempted to make their way back to the Vessel. Escape Pod 3 was able to launch but ended up crashing deeper inside Dark Bramble after multiple collisions altered its flight trajectory. The survivors of the initial crash managed to flee in three of the five escape pods.Įscape Pods 1 and 2 were launched and successfully fled Dark Bramble. Suffering numerous casualties and critical damage to all major systems and unable to call for help, the Vessel was subsequently evacuated. Instead of arriving at their intended destination, the Vessel arrived within Dark Bramble and was quickly ensnared by the vines. Following a broadcast from an unknown source that was older than the Universe itself, Escall ordered the Vessel to make an immediate warp to the source without leaving a message for the rest of their species.

The Vessel, captained by Escall, was one of many spacecraft used by the Nomai clans to explore the Universe.
