The '''''Scrimshaw Sailor''''' was an ''[[Invader]]''-class [[JumpShip]] in service with the [[Marian Hegemony]]. In [[3044]] the ''Scrimshaw Sailor'' was transporting slaves between [[Alphard (MH)|Alphard]] and [[Islington]] when the slaves aboard rose up and seized both the ''Scrimshaw Sailor'' and her attached [[DropShip]]s, killing most of the crew at the same time. The ringleader of the slave revolt, one Marcus, had the foresight to ensure that the ''Scrimshaw Sailor''&#39;s navigator survived even though the bulk of the JumpShip and DropShip crews were killed during the uprising.<ref name="ISP3:IEp83">''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3'', pp. 83–84: "Star: SLSC K3V.10599 (Kleinwelt)"</ref>

Marcus had been a slave in service to a high-ranking member of the Marian Navy, during which time he had the opportunity to view a number of star charts dating back to the era of the [[Star League]]. Based on what he had observed, he had the idea of relocating the ''Scrimshaw Sailor'' and her newly-free human cargo to one of the abandoned colony worlds located in the region now known as the [[Canopian Ruins]]. The world that the ''Scrimshaw Sailor'' relocated to was the world previously known as [[Kleinwelt]], which had been the site of a small mining operation based out of a single settlement extracting precious metals but which had been abandoned by the Canopian government in [[2788]] following a rising tide of pirate attacks in the region and the discovery of sufficient quantities of the same metals suitable for supporting the Magistracy's diminished industrial base.<ref name="ISP3:IEp83"/>

The exploration company [[Interstellar Expeditions]] discovered that Kleinwelt had been recolonized in [[3082]], the new inhabitants refused to say what had happened after the ''Scrimshaw Sailor'' arrived in the Kleinwelt system; Interstellar Expeditions learned that each of the ''Scrimshaw Sailor''&#39;s DropShips had landed in a different region of the planet, although each had landed in a temperate and agriculturally productive region. The planetary capital was a bustling frontier city with a population of some ten thousand souls - approximately forty percent of the total population - and was named Marian's Folly, after a renamed [[Marian's Folly|DropShip of the same name]], which had been grounded and formed the heart of the settlement, as well as a source of industrial production, converting mining equipment that had been left behind during the evacuation of the planet into basic industrial equipment.<ref name="ISP3:IEp83"/>
