A massive vessel the size of a continent, it houses vast manufactoria that makes it more of a mobile [[Forge World]] than a mere starship. The vessel possesses an ancient [[Machine Spirit]] that is far more advanced than the rest of its kind, even linking with the spirit risks ones mind being consumed wholly.{{Fn|1a}}
The vessel was discovered by the [[Mechanicum]] by accident at the Forge World of [[Palomar]]. After extensive explorations, it was revealed the vessel was incomplete. Lexell Kotov led the effort to complete the vessel. When activated, the vessels machine spirit unleashed a birth scream that saw the entire world of Palomar destroyed in a radioactive hellstorm. Its Machine Spirit became a gestalt entity, absorbing the many machines that made up its new structure. Complete with a deposit of knowledge from the [[Dark Age of Technology]], the ''Speranza'' was equipped with radical weaponry which included [[Chrono-Weapon|temporal ]] and black hole manipulation.{{Fn|1a}}
