The Blue Channel is Broun's ship.

Appearance and Interior

The ship is almond or teardrop shaped, with added mech hangars forming a 'belly'. Its interior has a larger central "hangout" area with branching hallways leading to sleep quarters, the engine room and so on. The Blue Channel has no artificial gravity, so there are handles to navigate along the hallways, and most rooms are taller than they are wide. Pipes in the ceiling offer a guide between different areas.[1]

Rec Room

The Blue Channel has a rec room, described as having "lots of physical media" and "clutter without mess".[2] It is equipped with a TV, couch, and armchairs, a rhythm arcade game with switchable cassettes, a card table and chair, and snack drawers. Other features of the rec room include four houseplants, a fishbowl full of loose VHS tapes, a series of books on combat triage, and a small vent access grate.[3]

The rec room is the site for movie nights, hangouts, and heart to hearts — "don't talk work!"[2] Because the Blue Channel does not have a brig, it also serves as a makeshift holding space for people taken prisoner by the crew.[3]

Brnine's Quarters

In PALISADE, Brnine sleeps on a loft bed inside their quarters. Under the loft bed is an open area where Asepsis lives and "hangs out." The room also contains the string of pearls plant that Thisbe gave Bing 32; Asepsis trims and prunes it.[4]

History

PARTIZAN

Valence uses their connections to procure the ship for Broun after Millennium Break takes Cruciat. In "The Red Light", Broun finds a message from Valence inside, along with the coordinates of the Nobel home world. They fly the Blue Channel throughout the "Escape Velocity" and "Operation Shackled Sun" arcs.

PALISADE

The Blue Channel is commanded by Gucci Garantine, who also votes for them in Cause command meetings. The Blue Channel cell of the cause also contains other guerilla cells who work directly under Gucci, and have not been seen yet.[5]
