The ICS Icarus was the flagship of its namesake Icarus Fleet.

History

The lead ship of the Icarus Fleet, a fleet consisting of at least another 3 Essex-class cruisers and 1 Malta-class battleship. The fleet and the Icarus herself were used by a group of scavengers looking to sift through the wreckage of Typhon. It was during this scavenger run that the fleet got infected with a bioweapon made by the ARES Division called "Project Legacy" that made Medusa Vines virtually impervious to fire, bullets and even liquid nitrogen. The genetically modified vines also cause allergic reactions to certain people that cause death within 72 hours of infection, it was this infection that killed the original crew of the Icarus and the rest of the fleet.

It eventually came under the control of Silva Pharmaceutical's Eduardo Silva who, wanting to subvert the authority of the Mercenary Syndicate, directed the ships to dock on Olympus in the hope that when the infection takes hold of the visitors, he can make a quick profit off manufacturing the cure and make the Syndicate look bad in the process.

While the infection was cured by the legends, the near-indestructible vines themselves cannot be removed making the Icarus herself permanently docked to Olympus while the rest of the fleet was destroyed.
