The Starship Iris I

The setting of episode one and central mystery of season one, The Starship Iris was a long-range research IGR ship under the direction of Captain Tom Jasper.

Crew
The Starship Iris I was operated by Captain Tom Jasper, Alvy Connors, Science Officer Violet Liu, Louis, an unnamed first mate, and possibly other, unnamed crewmates. Alvy was the only crewmate to treat Violet well.

In episode one, all crewmates except Violet are killed in a When the Iris's shuttle, Scout-1, explodes while returning from their final scouting trip on planet 5925. The explosion severely damages the ship's fuel tanks and main communications system.

Design and Construction
The Starship Iris was "big" and can maintain livability for six days on three percent power. It is oxygen inefficient, according to Captain Jasper, came installed with E.L.L.A., and had external fuel tanks.

The crew of The Iris I were unknowingly infected with the IGR's adapted strain of the Nanoswarm.

Mission
"'This is the Starship Iris, ID 45-Alpha-76-52-Tango, mission priority 7, under the command of Captain Tom Jasper, sector 284-325,' -Violet Liu"The Starship Iris visited Planet 5925 to collect samples. All that we know about said samples in that they were small enough to fit into a cryo-pod with Violet. The crew of the Rumor later discover the mission was a cover up for the assassination of the crew of The Iris I, namely of Alvy Connors and Other Violet Liu, who was not on board because of a mix-up. (Notably, a few other IGR missions launched at the same time, all holding staff who worked in the same building as Alvy Connors and Emily Craddock -- the latter of whom was notably absent from these missions -- at ADVANCE labs.)
