# Sollan Empire Starships # ISV Obdurate Attached to the [437th Legion of Centaurus](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/page/437th-centaurine-legion). Captained by [DAME RAINE SMYTHE](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-vBP/page/dame-raine-smythe). A supercarrier containing massive holds filled with dozens of smaller frigates (including the *ISV Balmung*, the *Pharaoh*, and the *[Mistral](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/norman-starships/page/mistral)*), thousands of crew. Obdurate (adj.) - stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or course of action. > Far to one edge of the projection, like the body of some fattened game bird, sat the ***Obdurate***, flanked now by the knife-edged shapes of *[Balmung](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/sollan-empire-starships/page/isv-balmung)* and *[Pharaoh](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/norman-starships/page/pharaoh)*, as well as two other Imperial destroyers whose names I did not know. The great super-carrier herself was an ugly thing, squat and more square than the deadly forms of the ships at her side, and pathetic-seeming next to the graceful bulk and horror of [Kharn](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/legends/page/kharn-sagara)’s *[Demiurge](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/extrasolarian-starships/page/demiurge)*, but she was a hundred miles from bow to engine-clusters, and fierce as fire if engaged. > > *Howling Dark*, Chapter 56: Like Castles of Ice

A refitted *Punisher*-class Imperial destroyer, left in command of the Jaddian emissaries associated with the Sollan/Jaddian joint-mission involving the [Red Company](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/meidua-red-company). In Norse mythology, Gram (Old Norse Gramr, meaning "Wrath"), also known as Balmung or Nothung, is the sword that Sigurd used to kill the dragon Fafnir.

# ISV Schiavona Imperial interceptor temporarily under the command of Captain [Bassander Lin](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/meidua-red-company/page/bassander-lin). > A brass and black-metal arrowhead bristling with guns and sensor blisters. Craning my neck, I could make out the shapes of men and women moving in the bridge-castle that rose from the back of the vessel. All told, she looked like a thinner, meaner Balmung, and should she not? > > Howling Dark, Chapter 51: Lost Time
