The Sea of Infinity

The ship propelled itself through the Sea of Infinity.
Its mission was to find and return to civilization a powerful ancient artifact lost a thousand years before but believed to be located somewhere in the quadrant ahead. Many ships had searched for it before and failed.
Captain Ganymo commanded a 100-man elite crew aboard this ship, named Arcadium, and it had began its voyage from the main orbital station of the planet Ryvon IV.
The ship bore a full platoon of special forces troops whose purpose was both to provide groundside defense and to defeat any hostile entities blocking their acquisition of the artifact.
