As of [[3067]], a commemorative plaque aboard the bicentennial [[JumpShip]] ''[[Sanibel]]'' indicates the ''Sanibel'' to be one of a run of ''[[Tramp]]''-class JumpShips involved in the early colonization of what would become [[Melissia Theater|Melissia]] and [[Timbuktu Theater]]s of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], naming its sister ships as the ''[[Canaveral (Individual Tramp-class JumpShip)|Canaveral]]'', the ''[[Largo]]'', the ''[[Key West]]'', and the ''Captiva''.<ref name=EaEp15>''Endgame at Engadine, Part 1'', pp. 16–17</ref> All but the ''Sanibel'' and the ''Largo'' were cited as lost, though the ''Sanibel'' at the time had dealings with the ''Captiva'' and its Captain [[Sigrid McAllister]],<ref name=EaEp2>''Endgame at Engadine, Part 2'', p. 45</ref> or another vessel by the same name, calling into question if the other supposedly lost ships were really lost.

This ''Captiva'' was reported to have conducted minor repairs at the shipyards at [[Canal]] shortly before September 3067, and assisted with smuggling operations, including inserting elements of the [[Chaos Irregulars]] on [[Elume]] in October 3067. This involvement in smuggling may explain why the ''Captiva'' was apparently incorrectly recorded as lost.<ref name=EaEp22>''Endgame at Engadine, Part 1'', pp. 22, 45</ref>

The ''Captiva'' was still in operation in 3137. As a Rim Commonality-registered civilian JumpShip, it transported [[Christopher Marik (32nd c.)|Christopher Marik]] to [[Tamarind]].<ref name=RtC14>''To Ride the Chimera'', ch. 14</ref>

The Captiva appears to have still been operating as of [[3137]], when as a [[Rim Commonality]] registered civilian [[JumpShip]], it transported [[Christopher Marik (32nd c.)|Christopher Marik]] to [[Tamarind]].<ref name=RtC14>''To Ride the Chimera'', Chapter 14</ref>
