''Herald of a New Dawn'' is a colony ship of modest size and complexity. It is a “slow trip” vessel designed to survive a voyage of eight months through uncharted space. Its destination system is Amber Rismuth 2. Upon arrival, ''Herald'' will construct a jumpgate and thus tie the colony back into the common intragalactic FTL network.

''Herald'' has six circular modules labeled Alpha-Zeta, connected to a central module labeled Eta. Each module has specialized functions:
* Alpha: Administration/Emergency Response
* Beta: Agriculture/Biotech
* Gamma: Processing/Manufacturing
* Delta: Medical/Education
* Epsilon: Jumpgate Components
* Zeta: Aerospace (including shuttles and zero-g mechs)
* Eta: Primary Engine Module

Modules Alpha-Delta are designed to descend from orbit once and then function as hubs for the new colony. These modules all have independent reactors, living quarters, and basic manufacturing and supplies. Some quarters are packed tightly with cryosleep tubes. Almost all crew and passengers will remain in cryosleep during most of the voyage.

Tentatively, Alpha, Beta, and Delta will land near each other on clear ground near fresh water. Based on initial surveys, Gamma will land near concentrations of ore.

Epsilon, Zeta, and Eta will remain in orbit during construction of the jumpgate and then function as a high-orbit station. Epsilon will be converted to docking bays and orbital manufacturing.

''Herald'' was assembled at [[Sigil Station]] in 2026 and departed September 9, 2026. It is wholly owned by a private corporation called New Dawn Ventures LLC. The corporation holds a charter from [[Tanyth Aramont]] to settle on Amber Rismuth 2, deep in T’Aramont space.

 The charter from T'Aramont allows the colony to self govern. The charter outlines three phases of colonization:
