''' | '''''Boomer''''', originally '''''Sfiera''''', was the [[Pfhor]] ship responsible for the attack on the [[Tau Ceti]] colony and the [[UESC Marathon]]. | ||
Through the subterfuge of [[Durandal]], the ship was alerted to the colony's location. Durandal, alongside the [[Security Officer]], then persuaded S'pht slaves aboard the ship to rebel against the Pfhor, disrupting the Pfhor attack. All non-S'pht members of the crew were lost and the vessel was hijacked by Durandal. | Through the subterfuge of [[Durandal]], the ship was alerted to the colony's location.

When the Security Officer and Durandal defeated the Pfhor aboard the Marathon, Durandal and his crew of S'pht took control of the ship to search for a way to escape the end of the universe. Before leaving the Tau Ceti system however, Durandal teleported an unknown number of the Marathon's crew aboard his ship for later usage, including the Security Officer. This began a seventeen-year expedition for the S'pht homeworld, Lh'owon. | ||

After dropping out of orbit above [[Lh'owon]], Durandal used the ship as a base of operations against the Pfhor occupiers and a manufacturing facility to provide his soldiers with arms. Making use of the ship's teleporter, Durandal sent the Security Officer down to the planet to investigate the S'pht ruins in the [[Citadel of Antiquity]] in the hopes of repelling the Pfhor Empire's advance and to discover more about the ancient alien race known as the [[Jjaro]]. | After dropping out of orbit above [[Lh'owon]], Durandal used the ship as a base of operations against the Pfhor occupiers and a manufacturing facility to provide his soldiers with arms.
