The Marcus Aurelius 2 was a Ikazuchi class captained by Max Sterling.
In November of 2046 Max on the Marcus Aurelius 2 started Phase 1 of preparing Probes to send out against the Invid. Asteroids headed for the Marcus Aurelius 2 and they send out a Probe as Learna talked with Rick on how the Sentinels felt uneasy of the attack on the Invid remaining as they had no Regent noir Regess and still posed a danger. Lisa suggested a Main Gun Assault and Rick said to send more Probes after Max was finished with the battle. Rick and Max ordered all ships to fire on the enemy and sent in Probes. Commander Sefton told of something folding in by her ship after 3 of the 4 Probes were destroyed. Something enormous folded in but was cloaked and they appeared to be massive Mecha that dwarfed the Veritechs like Veritechs dwarfed Humans. The mechs left without a fight and Max ordered in a chase but there was a massive energy build up and Max ordered all forces to Fold out but the light of the energy build up approached the Marcus Aurelius 2.
Behind the Scenes[]
The ship was probably named after Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, a Roman emperor from 161 to 180 AD and a Stoic philosopher.
