To emphasize Varouforos’ Russian-ness, I use that language’s convention for ship pronouns—namely, that there isn’t a special convention, and ships merely use the grammatically-appropriate pronoun for the ship’s name. Morana is feminine, so gets ‘she’; Perun is masculine, and gets ‘he’.

Attentive readers may wonder how the yashcherit raiders mentioned here, which are too small for jump engines of their own, made it here. All in good time!
