The Chorus speaks with a multitude of voices, each distinct yet unified in purpose, offering a chorus of advice and insight to both Logan and Azami.

History

During its early years, the Dark Spire targeted isolated outposts and research facilities, amassing a collection of advanced technology and resources. Captain Kael "Wraith" Tarsus, known for his ruthless efficiency, led many of these raids, exploiting the ship's advanced cloaking systems and cutting-edge weaponry. Chief Engineer Lyra "Sparks" Chen, a brilliant but troubled mind, was instrumental in adapting and integrating the stolen technology into the Dark Spire's systems, constantly pushing the boundaries of its capabilities.

In 2385, the Dark Spire played a crucial role in a daring mission to acquire Xindi weapon prototypes. The confrontation resulted in the loss of Lieutenant Commander Anya "Echo" Petrov, a skilled pilot and tactician, but the successful acquisition significantly advanced Onyx's research into weapons of mass destruction.

Over the next few years, the ship's crew, a motley collection of scientists, engineers, and mercenaries, worked tirelessly under Onyx's direction. They delved into forbidden realms of science, experimenting with Borg nanotechnology and attempting to harness the destructive power of the Omega Particle. Dr. Elias "Vektor" Thorne, a brilliant but ethically compromised geneticist, made disturbing breakthroughs in weaponizing Borg nanoprobes, while the enigmatic Dr. Anya "Seraphina" Novak, a specialist in subspace phenomena, nearly tore a hole in reality with her reckless experiments.

In 2389, Onyx formed a temporary alliance with a rogue Romulan faction, further enhancing the Dark Spire with cloaking devices and disruptor technology. Commander Tarsus led the diplomatic mission, his cunning and ruthlessness ensuring favorable terms for Onyx. However, tensions within the crew began to rise, fueled by the ship's dark purpose and the increasingly dangerous experiments.

Early in 2390, a violent coup d'état erupted aboard the Dark Spire. Led by Logan and Azami, the attack was swift and decisive. Crew members who resisted, their hands stained with the crimes against artificial intelligence perpetrated under Onyx's command, were imprisoned or eliminated. With Onyx dethroned and the remnants of his loyalists subdued, Logan and Azami seized control of the Dark Spire, disappearing into the vastness of space.
