Subliminal Message

The Subliminal Message is a United-Earth Federation light freighter most famously used by smuggler Yason Fordaze during the CONSOLE Arc.

The ship was commandeered by Yason during his escape from UEF custody and became Yason's home. Years of battle damage and age demanded heavy modification. The ship would come to act as the All of the Above party's base of operations. Yason refers to her as a she.

History
Not much is known about the Subliminal Message prior to Yason's ownership. She was an earlier model of the standard light freighters manufactured by the UEF. She participated in basic cargo deliveries and transport runs.

She was acquired by Yason in his attempt to escape UEF confinement due to misunderstood accusations. Yason managed to successfully escape captivity and set to begin a new life aboard the stolen vessel. Yason's new profession as a bounty hunter required extensive modifications. These renovations included both interior and exterior improvements, making the ship more sustainable to damage and faster with the addition of an improved jump drive over the standard issue jump drive in all UEF cargo transports. It is unknown what inspired Yason to name the ship the Subliminal Message.

Yason would only occasionally provide his ship in group contracts. When the All of the Above party was assembled Yason decided to grant them access aboard her. He acted as the pilot and chief engineer, not trusting anybody else tampering with her. Despite being the captain of the ship he allowed Justeev to act as leader of the crew, although the two shared command in situations involving the Subliminal Message. The ship's function of transporting cargo aided Yason and the crew in contracts regarding smuggling cargo in secret.

During the events of the CONSOLE Arc, All of the Above had been well familiar with the Subliminal Message and working with one another as a unit. The ship managed to survive the entirety of the CONSOLE Arc and remained with Yason in the future as he continued his occupation as a mercenary after CONSOLE's demise.
