This is a report discovered in a lost section of logs from a previously re-discovered collection of data and information. This is a translation from Old Amarrad into New Eden Common. Translation is not perfect but is closest to completion one could achieve. This is a report found of a Pilot’s account of a first hand sighting of one of New Eden’s legendary ship that few, if any, have seen or will ever see. The report is a personal log with no name attached for likely security reasons and location ID was disabled to prevent releasing an Empire secret to unknown or enemy forces. Due to this, the following can not be confirmed given the lack of evidence outside this personal log.

Personal Log Entry:
I saw it, I never thought I would be given the chance to, but I did. We didn’t take a gate, but we were told to be near a strange-looking ship. It had many antennae sticking from its hull. The gold gleam of the hull was a clear indication that this was once an Amarr ship. Now that we are separate from the Empire and have become a Kingdom, I heard a rumor that King Khanid stole a very powerful ship from them when he left. I never thought I would ever see this rumor turn into fact.
Upon being near this vessel, we noticed it was producing a lot of energy. It had pipes along the outer hull that seemed to be filled with coolant and Strontium Clathrates. I knew that the Kingdom was on the heels of the Empire in using the stuff, but what it was for, I didn’t know. That was until it all started to move and flow through the piping. The ship came to life before our eyes, and the antennae started to arc with electricity. It was strange to view, but soon it arced upwards and began to coalesce into an orb over the hull. It was roughly 20 meters up, and it began to shine like the sun, but with a rainbow of colors before my very eyes. Then a shockwave rattled my own ship, making me brace myself. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was seeing my first Cynosural anomaly!
Next thing I know, we were told to use our computer systems to tag onto the brilliant shimmering orb outside our ships. Then, with a command from the Fleet Commanding ship, we were cast into the depths of space. I swear it was faster than Gates themselves! When we exited on the other side, that was when I saw it. A massive hulking behemoth of a vessel. One that was told in legend at this point as our King never used it as it was built to be. Here I am, on the bridge of my meager Punisher frigate, staring down the might of Amarr. The fabled Imud Hubrau Titan, built by the past Emperor after the war with the Jovians and their unhinged Titan vessels. Some claim they were world ships, but they were devastating to fleets.
We were invited here for a reason. That reason was King Khanid II’s intention of welcoming us new initiates into the Khanid Order of Paladins. This was his way of saying we best keep our mouths shut and hold our secrets to our soul. I even double-checked my map on the ship, and it didn’t know where we were. Behind the Titan was a black hole, barely illuminating much in the system as it was in the last steps of devouring a yellow sun. No doubt the King’s own display of what he could have done to the Amarr.
I fell to my knees upon seeing such a mighty ship, and I quickly swore my soul, heart, and secrets to my King. I will never forget this day; I will never forget seeing the Imud Hubrau with my own eyes. A beast it is indeed, and I fear the day it is released from its cage.
