The Ahadaliv Ebter (bridge: Arms of Jade) was the third generation ship launched from the planet Kasath during the Great Flight, and the first generation ship of the Flight to have been designed and built entirely under the auspices of the Unified Evacuation Plan. Its design was a radical departure from that of previous such ships, built with the intent of entirely evacuating the major city of Eridask and sustaining not only its population but also its key cultural institutions. It was laid down in 1149, and by mid-1151 its first permanent inhabitants were embarked. Construction was completed in 1153 and its biosphere was deemed indefinitely sustainable shortly afterwards, and it began its voyage with the first preservation fleet in 1154. At launch, it carried 11,560,204 souls. One of the most successful voyages of the Great Flight, it arrived at its destination of Ahavlae Averen in 1950 with a population of 11,572,048. While its propulsion systems were decommissioned shortly after arrival, its habitat sections are still in use. Today, the Ahadaliv Ebter is the capital of the Gamman Ebtenate, and contains most of the central offices of its government as well as important ceremonial and historical monuments, with a population of 7,385,186.
