| The original "Star Seeker" was created from the ashes of the failed 0001, 0002, 0003, and 0004 Trans-Atmosphere Exploration Craft projects. When the 0005 accomplished it's goal of space flight as well as the first successful use of Lorath near FTL engines in the 543rd year Post-Exile, it was dubbed with its title Ltoh Lyykyh in recognition and preparation for its journey beyond known Lorath space. A mission that in the [[lorath_matriarchy:history#after_exile|545th year Post-Exile]] would inadvertently lead to half a decade((Lorath years)) of turmoil for the Lorath people. | The original "Star Seeker" was created from the ashes of the failed 0001, 0002, 0003, and 0004 Trans-Atmosphere Exploration Craft projects.

| The original reasoning for the creation of the TAEC-0005 vessel was to facilitate the exploration of space beyond the obstructing haze that blankets the [[planet:lor|Lorath Homeworld]], and to seek out new prospects for conquest and discovery that may exist in the reaches of space. This mission would be undermined by the interception of the first "Star Seeker" on an interstellar mission by a technologically superior belligerent imperialist nation. | The original reasoning for the creation of the TAEC-0005 vessel was to facilitate the exploration of space beyond the obstructing haze that blankets the [[planet:lor|Lorath Homeworld]], and to seek out new prospects for conquest and discovery that may exist in the reaches of space. This mission would be undermined by the interception and eventual loss of the first "Star Seeker" on it's maiden interstellar voyage by a technologically superior belligerent imperialist nation. |

| This unexpected encounter would prove a turning point in the history of the Lorath as a people, as well as prompt an overhaul of the Matriarchy space program leading to a brief surge in the "Star Seeker" line's production before being retired in favour of more sophisticated starship models such as the Zahl-class. Due to its age the TAEC-0005 lacks many of the standardized components and technologies present in pre-Exile and current Matriarchy starcraft, however it is also the progenitor of many Matriarchy design habits such as, modular construction. | This unexpected encounter would prove a turning point in the history of the Lorath as a people, as well as prompt an overhaul of the Matriarchy space program leading to a brief surge in the "Star Seeker" line's production before being retired in favour of more sophisticated starship models such as the Zahl-class.
