The Leif Erickson was a JumpShip of unknown type exploring the outer Periphery for a new world to colonize.[1]
Contents
History[edit]
The ship was traveling with the Kossandra Centrella, the Amundsen, the Dr. Livingston, and the St. Brendan. The crewmen and passengers described themselves as amateurs who had been sweet-talked into a crazy venture by a crackpot with too much money and time.
Their systems were failing and they were unable to find a planet to settle. The Dr. Livingston was lost after after a massive engineering accident, and the other ships were near mutiny because food was getting scarce. They proceeded to pass ten systems in twelve weeks without finding anything suitable.[1]
Nothing is known of the ships' fate, and all the information on them was from a file found in a communication buoy drifting in an uncharted star system in the Outer Rim Region, with date 10 September 3051.[1]
Notes[edit]
The log entry noted anyone could find them if they "keep heading spinward." It is unknown if this implies they are spinward of the Inner Sphere in general or relative to their location. The presence of a JumpShip named after Kossandra Centrella, the first Magestrix of the Magistracy of Canopus, might suggest a potentially galactic rimward area.
