Níðhöggr Prison Barge

Originally meant to be part of the fleet defending Gehenna, this dreadnaught was instead set in an orbit around Abbadon's star. This massive hulk was stripped of it's K-F drive and instead of being used for its defensive capabilities, set to a more sinister purpose by the Overseer of the Abbadon facility.

Once a year, Níðhöggr appears over Abbadon and the transfer of the most violent and hard to control prisoners begins. Once full, the ship then makes it's journey to the secretive human experimentation lab codenamed Nifhel. During the trip, Word of Blake scientists conduct various behavioral trials and experiments until only suitable candidates are left for the labs. Níðhöggr's path is littered with the spaced corpses of those that failed to meet the strict standards and fail to survive the experiments.
