It recently occurred to me that I should ask what exactly is Infernium? As far as I am aware it has never been described exactly what it is or where it comes from. The reason why I am concerned about this suddenly, is so that I am not conflicting with the canon lore with the description of this ship from my TIM mod.
"What is the pinnacle of pirate strength? An image that strikes fear into the heart of every captain? An entity that has been boiling, growing and terrorizing its way across countless worlds? The gargantuan mass that is the Infernal Machine is the very symbol of defiance against governance; the huge, lumbering mass which challenges even the Paragon.
Ironically the now unstoppable Machine was once a benevolent, maternal figure to the budding sector industry. It’s systems would strip entire gas giants of their Infernium, and then process the raw fuel into potent stardrive propellant. 100 cycles ago this behemoth fell into the hands of certain individual, whose purpose was less than benevolent... The ship was refitted to suit a grander purpose: Piracy. In the cycles leading up to the present, the Machine has “acquired” new captains, whether the previous owner was willing or not. Those many previous caretakers would modify, expand and customize the craft to their desire.
Captain Blackadder was a famous pirate lord, who used the Infernal Machine to destroy several Hegemony battleships. He personally salvaged the massive Thermal Pulse Cannons from his conquests, and added them to the Machine’s own arsenal. But there were many other pirate lords to come, each one adding their tribute to the Infernal Machine’s awe-inspiring hull, furthering the blight of pirate terrorism. The current whereabouts of the dreadnought are known to only a few, but it should suffice to say that anyone looking must surely have a death wish."
