RWI Vision

The Vision next to the RWI Serenity

The **RWI Vision** is an RWI Defender Class vessel built by Red Wood Industries. The *Vision* is also one of three ships assigned to Task Force Epsilon. The commanding officer of the RWI *Vision* is Commander Jonas.

It is assumed that the fate of the *Vision* and the *Belfast* will be shown in Space Engineers: Enigma.

## History

Little is known about the *Vision* prior to the event at Epsilon Base

### Serenity

Like the RWI *Serenity* and RWI *Belfast*, the *Vision* was assigned to Task Force Epsilon to locate and retrieve Grand Admiral Jack Roberts, the RWI *Eclipse*and, if possible, any surviving members of the RWI *Ardent Moon*.

Once the task force was assembled, they searched the reaches of space for two and a half weeks when it was decided the *Serenity* would venture on its own to cover more ground. The *Vision* and *Belfast* continued their search.

## Mysterious Discovery & Fate

Once a few days had passed since the separation of the Task Force, the RWI *Belfast* experience technical problems and had to halt in order to repair critical systems. In order to keep up the search the *Vision* continued along its projected course.

A few days after leaving the Belfast, the Vision picked up strange signals coming from a nearby system, thinking it could be a signal from Grand Admiral Roberts and the survivors, the *Vision* broke off of its course and headed for the mysterious planet. Once orbit was archived Commander Jonas began sending out hails to any friendly forces on the planet, due to the strong amount of interference the Vision could not understand the messages being sent out.

While Commander Jonas and his first officer, Lieutenant Commander Conner Yates discussed what to do another stronger signal was beamed from the planet right to the *Visions* location in space. This provoked the crew into thinking there was a life form down on the planet, Cmdr Jonas made the uneasy decision to attempt landing of the *Vision* on the planet below. This plan was daring as the *Vision* was an older Defender Class star ship and therefore not designed for atmospheric landings.

During the decent, the *Vision*'s systems started to go critical and began breaking parts of the hull. To add to the list of rising problems the crew detected several fighters approaching the star ship. Cmdr Jonas ordered the ship to battle stations and it soon became a battle for survival, the fighters caused major damage to the engine nacelles nearly crippling the ships main propulsion. Eventually the *Vision* was forced into an emergency landing that resulted in breaking of the ships super structure.

The crippling of the *Vision* resulted in the fracturing of the crew. Commander Jonas believed that the only way off the planet was to scout for resources and repair the *Vision* and make contact with the *Belfast*. The first officer, Lt Commander Yates disagreed with his superior officer and publicly stated in front of the bridge crew that Jonas was unfit to Command the *Vison* and her crew.

The decision of Connor Yates resulted in a near mutiny as half the crew sided with him while the loyal ones sided with there commander. Eventually Lt Cmdr Yates and his party left the *Vision* in search for the way off the mysterious planet while Commander Jonas stayed on board the wrecked *Vision* hoping to find a way off the planet.

The current status of the *Vision* is unknown, last recorded contact with RWI Central Database was when Task Force Epsilon was launched.
