Within the Divine Fleet there were 8 divines and their ships. Each Divine and ship are unique, distinct, and created by the Player Characters. These are not the only ships within the fleet but they are the major touchstones for what the fleet is comprised of. The ships are constantly moving, anticipating danger. Unknown reason(s) have largely been the cause of the deaths of most of the Divines as their numbers dwindled from 300 to 8, to 2.

== The Divine Gumption - City Ship: Gumption's Gambit ==
The '''Divine Fleet''' is a civilization of [[humans]], [[Divines]], and other lifeforms both biological and synthetic, all followers of the [[Resonant Orbit]].<sup><ref>[http://friendsatthetable.net/twilight-mirage-00-the-final-eight-divines Episode 00], episode description.</ref></sup>
Adapts junk tech and battle debris/parts into themselves to change the things that they can do and also not break down and die. From an old TV to another Divine's arm, they could use anything. The ship is filled with pieces of the Divine Gumption. Once something is detached from it, though. It is not considered to be a part of it.


Gumption used the entirety of themselves to fix the city ship Gumption's Gambit, saving the ship in the process with their sacrifice. "How could this ship even have this many exhausts?" Internally there is metal paneling everywhere to cover exposed wires, dull, copper, rust, safe, but not pretty. It's mostly a scaled up space ship, it does not have a city vibe. People plant makeshift green spaces in the gaps technology leaves behind.  
It is hidden within the [[Twilight Mirage]], which limits the ships' communication with each other. This has allowed the cultures of different ships to remain distinct and individual.<sup><ref name=":1">[http://friendsatthetable.net/twilight-mirage-00-the-final-eight-divines Episode 00], 0:21:50.</ref></sup>


The Divine ''used'' to provide ad hoc repairs to the fleet but the people who still live on the city ship still fix things for the fleet.

"Nothing can only be used once", they are a re-use culture. The fashion comes from that culture and can look really great or stupid, depending on how good you are at it. It's a risky style of fashion in the fleet. Most people, though...don't pull it off.

Belgard is an archaic term for a loving look to give to someone. They're sleek and almost person-like. But less like a person's body and more like if a person could have a pupa, or a chrysalis. Does not have arms or legs, loose layers and components like collapsible shields affixed around the "hip and shoulder" areas (pupa hips). Striking colours like a butterfly's wings but more dull and deliberate looking. Joints, seams, moving parts are not entirely clear when still. There are features and dibs where features might be but is otherwise featureless.

Belgard used to attach to objects to either or mend or harm something and heavily shielded (a combination of physical and energy but not like a full force field) and wrap it around other small to mid sized ships/Divines. Belgard died when they were abandoned by their Excerpt during a battle. It prioritized mending other ships over itself, and eventually succumbed to it's own wounds.

On the inside because of the construction of the ship there  is not a lot of big open spaces. Interior rooms and spaces are not popular. Tall vaulted ceilings and reflective natural looking surfaces: stone, wood, glass metal. The majority of It would feel like being in a series of interconnected nested set of alleys,courtyards, plazas's and rooms being rare. "Spaces between spaces." People might avoid interior spaces altogether if they're well off. Privatized open spaces.
