=========================================
She cost 114.92 MCr new, constructed at the Naasirka Shipyards on Armis back in 1056 on a Tukera Contract. Christened the ELEANOR MORAES, she was part of Tukera's fledgling effort in the Aramis subsector for 22 years before she was sold, second-hand, to an independent merchant captain named Roger Marem.
The ship, in the two decades, depreciated to the tune of 60.91 MCr (Marem's purchase price, in 1078, was 54.01 MCr). The 10.8 MCr downpayment came in the form of a Tukera Subsidy--the agreement stipulating an assigned four-system route (Tukera's outsourceing of the Aramis/Natoko/Patinir/Pysadi run) and contracted promise by Marem to ship Tukera freight and personnel with extra hold space and empty stateroom free of charge when the occassion presented itself(Natoko being the primary Tukera instellation in the subsector).
To sweeten the deal, Tukera awarded a mail contract to Marem for the four worlds on his route.
In 1087, Marem brings on a new 2nd Officer, Dexter Bryte (who is promoted to 1st Officer 10 years later).
Marem retires in 1100, when Bryte takes over ownership of the ship. He re-christens the vessel the ADROIT PURSUIT.
Three years later, Bryte takes on a partner, a native from Pysadi named Luukhan Pershiire (although Pershiire had been a hand on the ship since 1086--hired by Marem almost a year before Bryte came aboard).
Today, in 1105, the ADROIT PURSUIT is owned by its captain, Dexter Bryte, and First Officer Luukhan Pershiire. Her homeport is Aramis, and she makes landfall at home once every two months.
Monthly payments (to Tukera--they self-financed the deal) run to the tune of 180,042 Cr per month (leaving a very narrow profit margin for the vessel).
In 1118, Bryte will have the ship paid off (barring some spectacular speculative trade business in the mean-time).
