Elle Ciel - Ship Profile

Ship Profile

Flagship of the Angel Troupe, and under the authority of Shatoyan herself, the Elle Ciel is, like the Emblem Frames, the construction of Lost Technology. While the Elle Ciel is a ceremonial ship of peace and relies almost completely on the Emblem Frames for defense, it is not without weapons systems. Unfortunately, compared to most enemy ships, the Elle Ciel is still woefully underequipped.

It is large enough to contain many facilities that would otherwise not be found on board a spaceship, including a huge park and a room massive enough to house a whale comfortably. In addition, in times of great need the Elle Ciel could be equipped with a devastating weapon known as the Chrono Break Cannon. Following the events of Moonlit Lovers, however, the Chrono Break Cannon was equipped to the newly activated Emblem Frames GA-007 and was heavily damaged during the battle to liberate EDEN from the Val-Fasq.

Following the events of the Galaxy Angel trilogy, the Elle Ciel has been succeeded by the Luxiole. A product of Lost Technology like the Elle Ciel was, the Luxiole is far more suited for warfare but still makes a comfortable home-away-from-home. The Elle Ciel itself has since returned to its traditional role as a ship of peace, though it was once again called to action during the events of Galaxy Angel II.

Famous quotes containing the words ship and/or profile:

    There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: the way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
    Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 30:18-19.

    From the oracle of Agur, son of Jakeh.

    Nature centres into balls,
    And her proud ephemerals,
    Fast to surface and outside,
    Scan the profile of the sphere;
    Knew they what that signified,
    A new genesis were here.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
