Lore

The wreck of the Alycon is a downed Atreides military frigate located in Hagga Basin South. It has been heavily looted by scavengers, and long since abandoned by its crew. While it's abandoned, the ship has retained a few active power systems, keeping some of the deeper parts of the ship safe from would be looters via penta shields that require access bands to breach. It's notable for containing an armory behind a penta shield that contains a unique schematic, the Khalif's Drinker.

Two whales facing a school of fish are shown in bas relief, possibly depicting a scene from Caladan's marine life, in the command room of the ship where a globe hologram illuminates the room.

Ensign Meredith: Belay that chatter! We have sustained several direct hits, and we're losing trim badly. We're going to try to set her down... Our emergency transponder is active. Godspeed everyone.
