The '''Glykon Volatus''' (commonly known as '''The Glykon''') is a [[Cabal]] [[Cabal Carrier|Carrier]] formerly belonging to the [[Red Legion]] that was originally utilized by [[Emperor Calus]] in a ritual to commune with the [[Darkness]]. During the ritual, however, the ship was overtaken by a strange growth, which killed everyone stationed aboard, excluding one lone [[Locus of Communion|Scorn test subject]]. The ship disappeared for several months before reappearing in the [[Reef]] and sending a distress signal, which was intercepted by the [[Vanguard]].
The '''Glykon Volatus''' is a Cabal Carrier that was originally utilized by [[Emperor Calus]] in a ritual commune with the [[Darkness]]. During the ritual, however, the ship was overtaken by a strange growth, which killed everyone stationed aboard, excluding one lone [[Locus of Communion|Scorn test subject]]. The ship disappeared for several months before reappearing in the [[Reef]] and sending a distress signal, which was intercepted by the [[Vanguard]].

==History==
The ship was stolen and boarded by a lone [[Guardian]], [[Katabasis]] and his [[Ghost]], [[Gilgamesh]], assisted by a [[Psion]] officer under the command of [[Emperor Calus]] in a [[Red Legion]] shipyard on [[Nessus]]. The ship was brought to the [[Reef]], where The Guardian and Loyalists spent six weeks capturing [[Scorn]] for experiments, in hopes that Calus would be able to understand more about the [[Darkness]]. Then, Katabasis piloted the ship to [[Phobos]], on the edge of the Anomaly left behind by [[Mars]]. It is here where Calus came on board, alongside the [[Crown of Sorrow]]. The experimenting with the Scorn continued, now with the Emperor utilizing the Crown as a means of observing how the Darkness interfered with the Scorn's corrupted consciousness. Many test subjects perished from "continuous neuron death" except for one who "spoke with many dead voices". This Scorn would become the [[Locus of Communion]].
 
After many failed attempts at communion, the ritual eventually succeeded. The Glykon Volatus plunged into the Anomaly and became lost. Katabasis and his Ghost, still trapped aboard the vessel, began to feel the effects of pure Darkness corruption. While finding a way to escape the locked ship, Katabasis and Gilgamesh began to talk less and less to each other, growing distant, their personal connection from the light slowly fading. Strange [[Egregore|fauna/flora]] began to grow and develop aboard the ship and the corruption strengthened, Gilgamesh eventually craving suicide, or as he called it, "salvation". Katabasis was firm minded, and refused to let his Ghost kill himself. Eventually, Katabasis gave in, and destroyed his Ghost with a shot from the [[Dead Man's Tale]].<ref>https://www.ishtar-collective.net/categories/book-captains-log</ref>
 
After this, Katabasis made his way to the bridge of the ship and managed to send a distress signal. With the Glykon Volatus being a Red-Legion vessel, the signal arrived at the shipyard in the [[EDZ]]. Both the [[Imperial Cabal]] and the [[The Guardian]] intercepted it, and the [[Vanguard]] cleared them for a mission in rescue of the distressed Katabasis. Aboard the vessel, the Guardian defeated the Locus, and found a decomposing Katabasis in the bridge, strung up with Egregore tendrils, being sucked of Light by the plants. The Guardian salvaged the Hunter's rifle, then returned week after week, uncovering the secrets of the Glykon Volatus and Calus's ritual, with assistance from both [[Osiris]] and [[Caiatl]]. Eventually, they found the Crown of Sorrow, hidden in a compartment under the bridge of the ship.

==Trivia==
*The ship's name originates from the Greek word for sweets and is the name of a snake god which was associated with a large cult within the Roman Empire.
*Aboard the Glykon, the guardian passes a [[Jumpship]] in the hangar with ornate [[Leviathan]] aesthetic trimmings on it. This ship belonged to Katabasis.
*The flora growing on the Glykon is identical to that of the ones growing aboard [[The Derelict]].
