Verdajuvel - a green jewel that has at its heart a garden and carries with it some of the beauty of Earth. Verdajuvel - a ship that binds to the very fabric of spacetime, that can slip through dimensions unseen by humans but can carry us to places on our terms and within our understanding of time.

At the heart of Verdajuvel is its park and gardens. There are three gardens on the ship, each one time phased four Earth months apart. In this way the crew of the ship get the best of Earth's seasonal produce. There are mushroom tunnels, aquaculture ponds for prawns, mussels and fish but perhaps the favourite are the chicken sheds, especially when the birds are allowed out to roam in the wildflower meadow. Wilbour, King Rooster, has no idea he is in deep space, but he knows you are too close to his hens and you are in big trouble. The most fun you can have with Wilbour is to turn off the gravity plate and watch him fly.

The ability of the ship to move through spacetime is due to the power generated by its Tokamak Fusion Toroids, channelled through the Energy Comb to the Fractal Antenna that encircles the ship. It is the antenna that is able to grab spacetime and bend it to the will of the ship's totem, Orlando Javac Jax.

To wonder at the technical complexity of the Verdajuvel Galaxsia is to miss its reliance on the natural world, its Gaia Spirit. To truly be a ship of the Earth, the Sercanto required the ship be a living thing, to carry Gaia with it into the dark spaces of the Galaxy. The ship, as the cat totem Orlando Javac Jax, will wander where it likes taking stock of the wellbeing of all, even Wilbour.

The Verdajuvel will explore, study and research but also take resources. The galaxy we know is littered with star matter, some of which has incredible value. The whole bottom half of the ship is dedicated to research into the resources found out there amongst the stars.
