Starliner

A massive interstellar vessel symbolic of the Deciders' extraterrestrial origins and shared exile, its presence in orbit serves as a constant reminder of the community's displacement. The ship's architecture radiates opulence in its golden regalia, matching Nefred's ceremonial display as he leverages the Starliner's legacy to reinforce institutional authority. Its looming mass frames every crisis, from the revelation of the harmless mists to the impending TARDIS collision, hovering as both shelter and threat.
