With the liberation of de Sousa Terminal, we have a unique opportunity to build Labour of Rhea influence using passenger missions.  Labour of Rhea offers many flights out of this terminal to our faction members.

The Dolphin class passenger ship is the perfect entry level vessel for commanders.  It is cheap to purchase and fun to fly.  Best of all, if you get it and decide passenger missions are not your thing then you are not out a ton of credits. I highly recommend this vessel for station rescue missions, economy class, and business class flights.

My Dolphin is named after Sister Helene Studler.  Helene’s 7/22/1946 obituary read in part, “France mourns the death of a humble nun of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Sister Helene Studler, who became a national heroine during the Nazi occupation. She had successfully aided the escape of some 4,000 French prisoners from the town of Clermont-Ferrand to the Mets region, and had won from the French Government the Cross of the Legion of Honor and the Croix de Guerre.

Magnificent military and religious honors were paid Sister Helene in death and two dioceses vied for the honor of keeping her remains.

During the German occupation of France, Sister Helene had organized an entire clandestine organization which aided French prisoners in escaping from the camps, furnished them with food and hid them. When about to be arrested herself by the Germans, she escaped and found refuge In a community of the Good Shepherd In Auvergne.

Before Sister Helene’s remains were translated to her home Diocese of Metz, the Diocese of Clermont honored her with solemn ceremonies. The Cathedral of Clermont was filled with delegations of prisoners’ associations from all regions of Auvergne. The prefect and the commanding general of the military region were in the front row facing the casket covered with the French flag. Bishop Gabriel Piquet of Clermont, who had been deported to Germany during the war, paid tribute to the courage of this humble nun. A delegate of former prisoners escorted her remains on the trip from Clermont to Metz, where she was burled after solemn services at the cathedral.”

The Orca class passenger liner is the next step up.  I prefer to use mine for evacuee relocation missions, business class, and first class flights.

My Orca is named after Cheng Benhua.  Cheng led a resistance movement against the Japanese invasion of China in 1937.  She was captured, imprisoned, and bayoneted in 1938.  The Japanese were an ally of the German Nazi movement.  Cheng became an image of fearless defiance after her captors gang-raped and murdered her.  In the face of death, Cheng smiled at her murderers, folded her arms across her chest, and raised her head in defiance.  Her pose was commemorated by a statue in Nanjing, where 300,000 Chinese men, women, and children were butchered by Japanese troops.

The Beluga class passenger liner is pure luxury.  I prefer to use mine for luxury class passengers out on prolonged exploration and discovery missions.

My Beluga is named after Hedy Lamarr.  Hedy had a film career and starred in more than 30 films, but she was also an inventor.  After escaping Nazi Germany, she developed a guidance system for allied torpedoes that could counter Nazi jamming technology.
