The Makarhu in Formic Wars: Burning Earth.
The Makarhu was a Juke Limited ship that was captained by Lem Jukes.
Description[]
The Makarhu was a mining ship constructed and owned by Juke Limited. Like other mining ships, it had a mining bay, a collision-avoidance system, quickships, and various mining equipment, such as suits and explosives. It was also equipped with a lab and an archives room. The ship was protected by the company's best firewall, and was decently armored.[1]
Helm[]
The helm of the Makarhu was cylindrical, with flight crew being positioned along the inner circular wall. At the center of the helm was a spherical system chart. The chart was a hologram surrounded by projectors, which displayed the ship at the center surrounded by celestial objects. [1]
History[]
Earth Unaware[]
The ship was sent out to the Kuiper Belt shortly before the First Formic War to test the Glaser, a revolutionary new mining tool. The Makarhu was used to bump the free miner ship El Cavador from the asteroid they were mining in order to test the Glaser on the rock.[1]
The Makarhu assisted in the attempted sabotage of the Formic scout ship, but it escaped the destruction of its gamma plasma exhaust when it fled the scene of the battle.[1]
Earth Afire[]
After returning to Luna, Lem passed the captainship of the Makarhu to Chubs Zimmons.[2]
Earth Awakens[]
During the final attack on the Formic scout ship and its fleet, the Makarhu was destroyed, killing Chubs and the rest of the crew.[3]
