## Trivia

### Etymology

* In Greek mythology, **Adrestia** was the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite, and she was venerated as a goddess of revolt, retribution, and balance between good and evil.
* The name befits a fast ship: in ancient Greek Ἀδρήστεια means 'inescapable' or 'she who cannot be escaped.' As such, it was also an epithet of the goddess of rightful retribution, Nemesis.

### Other

* The Gang Members-crew skin is modeled after the Blighters of Victorian era London.
* The quarterdeck of the *Adrestia* has a map of the Greek world painted on it.
