Model.44-S
The Immerling.44-S is a snubnose variant of the model.44. It is designed to be easier to conceal, although the accuracy suffers due to the shorter barrel. Wax carries one in a shoulder holster when he does not want to appear overtly armed.

C--KJM orbital shipyard
—
Vehicle: Spacecraft.
World: Detritus.
Universe: Cytoverse.
Books: Skyward (series).
It was so big, my mind reeled to comprehend it. It was like the sky itself was falling. A sudden shower of hundreds of pieces of debris rained down, a blazing hail. And behind it, that something. That enormous, inconceivable something.
—Spensa's reaction to the appearance of the shipyard.
The C-137-KJM orbital shipyard is an old steel ship found in the ring of debris surrounding Detritus. It orbited the planet for several centuries before falling to the surface when the acclivity rings that held it afloat ran out of power.
Appearance and Function
One of the shipyard's primary purposes is to manufacture starships, however, its other major functions are unknown. The shipyard is made of steel, rectangular, and incredibly large. Spensa believes half the shipyard to be the size of a mountain, however, this may be exaggerated. The shipyard has, at some point, been broken into two halves leaving large gaping holes along its side. It likely does not have an AI computer system.
The inside of the shipyard contains cranes and other construction equipment. Working emergency lights can still be found throughout the vessel, despite loss of power to other essential functions. A delver_maze, delver training facility has been added to the vessel and may make up large portions of the ship, and be accessible from the manufacturing floors. It shares similar aspects to delver maze tunnels, such as design and structure, as well as a writing system made up of circular patterns that is unknown to the Defiant people. Similar writings can also be found near the old machinery in the outer United_Defiant_Caverns, Defiant Caverns.
The bottom of the shipyard is coated in hundreds of starfighter Acclivity_ring, acclivity rings that keep it afloat. These rings begin running out of power in 83 causing the shipyard to fall from the atmosphere as it could no longer correct its orbit. The loss of power in the acclivity rings is gradual, allowing the shipyard to fall at a steady pace instead of hurtling straight towards the ground.
History
The origins of the shipyard are unknown and likely predate the arrival of the Defiants by centuries. At some point it was broken into two halves, though it is unknown when or how this occurred.
The first half of the shipyard fell to the surface partway through Spensa's time as a cadet, when Skyward Flight was sent on a routine training exercise to tag chunks of debris. The Krell committed almost sixty ships, a large number of their forces, to the attack, to ensure it crashed and to keep the DDF from being able to harvest it's acclivity rings.
During the battle, Nedd's brothers, Nightstorm_Flight, Nightstorm pilots six and seven, picked up Krell tails and in a desperate attempt to lose them, flew into the shipyard. Nedd and Spensa followed the Nightstorm pilots into the ship, to try and destroy their Krell tails and help them escape. Unable to catch up to the Nightstorm pilots, Spensa and Nedd fled the ship just before it reached the planet surface. Nedd's brothers tragically died in the crash.
As the DDF troops retreated, the Krell began firing on the ship's acclivity rings, as well as setting explosive charges on the top of the vessel in order to increase its descent. The Krell continued to fire upon the ship after it had crashed to ensure that the DDF would be unable to salvage anything useful from the wreckage. The DDF lost fourteen ships from the encounter at the shipyard and fewer than a dozen acclivity rings were salvageable from the wreckage.
The second half of the shipyard was first spotted in the low atmosphere of the planet, by FM during a salvage run with Nightmare Flight, shortly before flight school graduation. Krell were seen scouting the ship, and unlike the first vessel, this half had enough power to activate the defense mechanisms of the shipyard, creating a hostile environment for the Krell.
After the battle, the DDF sent a science ship to investigate and analyse the vessel, determining that the shipyard would run out of power and fall to the surface in a few days time. In a desperate attempt to secure the acclivity rings, the DDF sent all active pilots to defend it from the Krell, believing that the enemy would try and destroy it. Instead, the Krell used the shipyard as a ploy, sending a second wave of ships, including a lifebuster, to attack Alta Base while it was left undefended. The DDF disengaged their fighters from the battle to try and defend Alta Base, leaving the shipyard to be, presumably, destroyed by the remaining Krell.

I-nah are a type of tree native to the Reshi Sea on Roshar.
Appearance and Habitat
The i-nah grow along the bottom of the Reshi Sea and are dozens of feet tall, with bark that is made of stone. The branches of the i-nah occasionally break the surface of the sea, but many are submerged just beneath the seawater.
As the branches are stone, they form shoals, which can easily slice the hulls of the longboats common in the Reshi Sea. Guides such as Gu are used to navigate around them, and even know how to steer clear of the underwater branches which are almost invisible from above the surface of the sea.

—
World: Detritus.
Universe: Cytoverse.
Books: Skyward (series).
M-Bot is a sentient artificial intelligence installed inside a stealth-equipped starfighter. Its formal designation is MB-1021 and it classifies itself as a robotic ship integration and a long distance reconnaissance and recovery ship. The ship is found by Spensa in a cavern about thirty minutes walk from Alta.
M-Bot's data banks were corrupted, but it remembers its last pilot, named Commander Spears. The only information M-Bot could find was a command from Spears: Lie low, M-Bot. Take stock, don't get into any fights, and wait for me here.
Appearance and Personality
M-Bot's ship design is completely foreign to Spensa, who was very surprised by this at first, as she had memorized every DDF ship model. Once M-Bot is activated, he informs her that he has been deactivated for 172 years; well before the Defiant crashed on Detritus. M-Bot appears to be slightly larger than a DDF Poco or even a Largo, despite being not quite as long.
The AI strives to be accommodating towards standard human interaction, a reason it named itself M-Bot instead of calling itself MB-1021. It often attempts to express emotion, following itself by explaining that while it cannot actually feel emotions, its subroutines allow it to respond properly.
The only memory bank that is not corrupted is a database for recording fungoid life forms on Detritus.
M-Bot does not like Rig as much as it likes Spensa. The feeling is mutual.
Attributes and Abilities
According to himself, M-Bot is a stealth ship, therefore he is able to hide from scanners, hack into computer systems, and project holographic images. He is also equipped with many other technologies superior to DDF fighters, though most were non-functional or absent when Spensa discovered him. These include:
• space for up to four Destructors, two on each wing• (Destructors not included).
• a light-lance turret underneath his main body• .
• a cytonic drive• .
• an IMP generator• .
• advanced air scoops.
• advanced Gravcaps (Capable of absorbing up to 60% of g's, with a maximum of well over 100 g's).
• gyroscopic internal cockpit.
• full life support systems.
• cleansing tube.
• stealth systems.
• self diagnostics.
• advanced shielding systems (which can absorb six-nine Krell shots, three more than a poco).
• self repair.
• increased speed durability (capable of going up to at least Mag-20 in atmosphere).
• thruster systems• .
• maneuverability thrusters.
• Cytonic Processing (which Spensa can sense).
• advanced holographic projection.
• short range scanners (short range according to M-Bot, but not short range by DDF standards).
• M-bot can activate most of these systems himself, but systems marked with an asterisk he has no physical access to other than for diagnostic purposes
M-Bot is also sentient, and can easily hack most DDF wireless communications, as well as Krell databases. He can also reprogram himself to alter and improve his emotional responses.
History
At some point, M-Bot's pilot Spears landed on Detritus and hid his ship before abandoning it. He is presumed dead by M-Bot, as 172 years have passed. During the years, M-Bot had followed the last words of his pilot and hidden himself inside a cave, covering himself with 3D holograms of rocks until his backup power supply ran out.
When Spensa discovered M-Bot, the ship's wings were falling off and its power matrix was completely drained. She started repairing the ship, scavenging parts between her time at Flight School. After trying on a power matrix from an old water heater to no avail, she stole a battery from Jorgen Weight's hovercar. She powered on the ship and was surprised to discover M-Bot's personality. She enlisted her friend Rig, who then joined the Engineering Corps, where he could get the knowledge and parts needed to repair M-bot. Rig fixed most of M-bot's systems as well as his battered hull and wings. Finally, Spensa asked Jorgen to help her steal the booster from the wreckage of Hurl's starfighter and made M-bot fully functional.
Spensa suspected that M-bot was a Krell ship since such technology was not possessed by humans, to which M-bot responded by writing a vocal aggression subroutine to express his anger. Though M-bot admitted that with most of his memories lost, he couldn't deny that it wasn't a possibility. Spensa dismissed this thought later on, as most of M-bot's design and systems resemble those of humans.
During one of Spensa's flight classes, M-Bot hacked into DDF's system and chatted with her. M-Bot utilized his analyzing ability to help her further advance in her flying techniques, though sometimes Spensa found it distracting to have M-bot talking to her.
However, after having a cruise with Spensa, M-bot realized that going like this, he would eventually go against his orders and get discovered or become engaged in a fight. Out of fear, he shut himself down and refuse to respond to Spensa.
During the Second Battle of Alta, Spensa's ship was shot down. But M-bot appeared just in time, explaining that he had made a subroutine to hack himself and make Spensa his pilot. Since M-Bot had no Destructors, he and Spensa tried to lure the Krell ships away. M-bot's superior performance and Spensa's exceptional piloting drew away a dozen Krell fighters, who always attack the best pilot. They dodged many attacks, turning the tide of the battle. However, when DDF finally shot down the bomber carrying the Lifebuster, it was already in range of destroying Alta Base. Using a Light-lance, they carried the bomb out of the death zone but also put themselves in the place of sure death. At the last moment, Spensa activated the Cytonic hyperdrive. They performed FTL travel and escaped from the explosion unharmed. Spensa then spotted an opening in the debris field and flew out, in hope of discovering the truth about Detritus. While they were flying through the debris, the Krell interfered with Spensa's mind using an unknown technology or Cytonic power, trying to overwrite her vision. Presumably, this is the same force that caused Spensa's father to attack his flight mates a decade ago. M-bot was able to block the signal, which returned Spensa to normal. Though the Krell intended to inspect M-bot since it was different from DDF fighters, Spensa managed to escape through the debris field and back to Alta Base. During the encounter, M-bot hacked into a small part of Krell database and they brought back crucial intelligence of humanity's situation.
When Alanik and her ship crash on Detritus, she gives Spensa coordinates to the location of Starsight. M-Bot then projects a holographic image on his exterior to match that of Alanik's ship. He also projects an image on Spensa to give her Alanik's appearance. Spensa then uses the coordinates given to her by Alanik to make an FTL jump with M-Bot to Starsight.
Once M-Bot and Spensa arrive at Starsight they are permitted to land. Afterwards, Spensa leaves M-Bot to meet with Superiority officials. The next day Spensa and M-Bot travel to a smaller space station to compete in a practice drill.
The practice drill turns out to be much more violent then M-Bot and Spensa expect, involving real destructor fire from Superiority drones. M-Bot and Spensa manage to fare well and soon decide to help some of the other pilots including Morriumur and the kitsen. They also convince the figment, Vapor, to override the computer systems of a Superiority drone to help them.
