Goodman was a Type-IV cargo vessel under the flag of the North American Alliance. The ship and her crew of 8 were lost without a trace in August 2262. The ship's remains were rediscovered in 2944 in the Croshaw system.[1]
Fate
In August of 2262, the Goodman, a Type-IV cargo vessel (crew of eight), was making a routine supply run to an Orbital Platform by Neptune. Approximately three hours from its final destination, a piece of debris knocked out the starboard engine array, sending the ship wildly off-course.
The Goodman drifted for several hours before managing to repair the ship to a crawl. What happened next has been investigated and examined by the greatest minds on the planet. There was one last transmission of the Goodman, speaking with an operator at the nearest CommStation.
Investigations of their last known position yielded no wreckage, nothing. The Goodman simply vanished. Over the next few months, two more ships disappeared in the same area in similar manners. More inquiries were launched but they couldn’t determine what happened.
The Goodman entered what would later be called the 'Neso Triangle' anomaly, between Neptune and Pluto. Ultimately, the area was declared a no-fly zone. [2]
However, according to the Starmap, the Jump Point lies outside the Kuiper Belt. It is unclear under which circumstances and why the Goodman entered the Jump Point. Its mission was to supply a station in orbit of Neptune. The ship survived the Interspace travel and drifted through space for 682 years until the wreckage was found and salvaged by Kamelia Ganesh.
The ship is currently on display at the Mōhio Museum.
A emergency beacon from the ship with the crest of the North American Alliance was found in the Icarus Cluster.
