The Keep is one of the largest aircraft that Providence owns.
The Keep is the largest airborne vehicle used by Providence, as well as being its flagship vehicle.
History[]
The Keep is used as Providence's flagship and most powerful weapon, often being flown into battle against any large scale E.V.O. incursion which ordinary Providence deployments cannot handle, such as against the Multi-faced E.V.O. or the Lomitle swarm. During an attack on Providence, Van Kleiss hijacked and crashed the Keep into Providence Headquarters, presumably destroying, if not severely damaging the ship.[1] However, it was repaired by the time Caesar Salazar appeared. [2]
After the ship was appropriated by Black Knight when she took over from White Knight as the head of Providence, she had it repainted black and equipped with a large scale particle laser, which was used against her and the Consortium when White Knight regained control over Providence.[3]
Description[]
The Keep has a deploying platform from which at least one scout ship can be deployed, and is also quite large, and as such can contain the entirety of Providence agents. After Black Knight took control of Providence, the Keep was equipped with a devastating, retractable energy weapon which was used to contain rift portals.
At least one scout ship fits within the platform of the ship, in which there is a door from which the scout ship emerges. The Keep can deploy the scout ship with a magnetic field if there is a problem with the scout ship.[4] It is also equipped with various trackers, maps, sensors and radars. The main officer in the navigation room of the Keep is the Providence Admiral, although sometimes the main control can be set to autopilot.[2]
Rex usually stays in a locked room on board the ship within which he is instructed to stay and wait until his assistance is required, or until Six's orders come. However, Rex can open the doors of this room by using his technopathic abilities, so he is technically never “locked up”.[5] The Providence agents and Six maintain themselves near this area on various security seats, until their assistance is required.[5]
Trivia[]
- The Keep is Providence's most notable vehicle and their mobile command center.
- One of Providence's traitors was assigned to the navigation room.[1]
- Rex and Noah can operate the main controls of the navigation system.[1]
