Lore
Going dark — moving past the last comm relay and the last charted
system, where no signal will reach you and no rescue will find you
in time — is what pathfinder work actually is, and the Rim treats
the craft as a tradition. A pilot does not get a
Pathfinder hull until a senior pathfinder agrees to put their name
next to theirs on the certification, and a senior pathfinder does not
sign until they have watched the candidate bring three ships back
from drifts no instrument could have plotted for them. The hardware
reflects the seriousness: a pathfinder drive next to an H2O2 refinery
that drinks ice straight out of the harvester, a fuel tank big enough
that an empty cargo bay still gets you home, and a survey scanner
sharp enough that you know what you're looking at before it kills
you. The first Rim pathfinder to fly one wrote the operations manual
herself, in pencil, on the inside of the cockpit hatch. Subsequent
pilots have added to it. None have erased anything.
