Flotilla Bliss

The Flotilla Bliss is a group of five (formerly six) mobile cityships that act as the moving capitals of Hnuwei Macrocorporation. All five ships are both individually and collectively referred to as "Flotilla Bliss", though each city has gained various monikers used informally by both foreign visitors as well as Hnuwei citizens and officials. Each Flotilla Bliss generally spends years following standard looping courses within specific regions, only changing trajectory when called for. The Flotilla are each escorted by defense fleets of six ever-present Idyllic-class Supercruisers.

Originally created by Hnuwei's ancestor corporations during the Subotan climate crisis as a means for temporary mass exodus, the evacuation became permanent when the nascent Hnuwei-Geselo Company's Adaptive Climate Control Force went out of control and rendered the planet inhospitable and impossible to re-terraform. Following the nearly 150-year-long catastrophe, the then-newly merged Hnuwei Macrocorporation declared the six Flotilla Bliss the permanent mobile homeworlds of the corporation, and by extension the entire Beauros species.

The Flotilla generally remain unseen by the rest of the Black Rim, but even they were not immune to the chaos of the Unitary War. During the disastrous Battle of Crosta, the Delrii Unitist Party forcefully requisitioned one of the Flotilla Bliss to use as a massive reinforcement transport and terror weapon, displacing all Executors and citizens, as well as much of the crew aboard. In Crosta's atmosphere, the ship's terror effect only succeeded in provoking the use of nuclear warheads, which, combined with Grav interference on the ship's drive engines, brought the city down on the planet's largest battlefield. The sheer expending of resources by both sides, the fallout from the Szekh nuclear strike, and the kinetic energy unleashed onto the battlefield by the falling city put an end to the bulk of the conflict.

Following the disaster, Hnuwei MCo. cut all ties with the Delrii and defected to the Court of Gzahn, entering and directly participating in the Unitary War. The Flotilla Bliss were brought deeper into corporate territory and security measures around their locations were significantly raised. The Flotilla themselves have since had onboard defense systems and weapons arrays substantially expanded to better defend themselves in the rare event they come into conflict. Each ship is now physically and politically protected by the Hnuwei Board of Executors with uncharacteristic fervor.
