towards the flashing icon on his hud. He had been descending for twenty minutes,
keeping his eyes on his depth and oxygen levels. He had wanted to do some
diving while he was on Risa as they had some of the better dive sites in the
sector. He had been wanting to dive on the Expanse for years but had never really
managed to get out here. </span></p>

stabbed into the gloom he peered out through his helmets visor and saw something
solidify out of the darkness below him. Letters appeared into readable text as
he slowly rotated so that he was able to read them clearly as he descended towards
the hull.</span></p>

star ship part of the fleet that had been stationed in the sector during the
Civil War. She had been a guard ship in orbit around Risa when Admiral Doenitz
forces swept through the system. The Expanse which had been damaged from a previous
engagement sacrifice herself as a rear guard for the remnants of the 52<sup>nd</sup>
fleet to escape. She was disabled and pulled into the planet as the skeleton
crew evacuated. The Expanse landed in shallow water, deep enough to stop her disintegration
on impact and settling upright on the seabed. Since her impromptu landing the
creatures of the ocean had made her their new home and thriving ecology had
been formed. The wreck of the Expanse had been marked as a hazardous area until
her military technology had been removed at which point, she had become a war
memorial and a dive site. </span></p>
