56th Emperor Jossano

The 56th Emperor Jossano was a starship of the Race's Conquest Fleet. It carried a large portion of the Fleet's nuclear weapons in an armored chamber in the vessel's heart. In 1942, the ship landed in the southern Soviet Union, where it was destroyed by a crude German missile. The armormed chamber did not prevent the weapons from being destroyed by secondary explosives. (Fortunately, the weapons themselves did not detonate.) Large chunks of radioactive plutonium were scattered across the landscape. This plutonium was later captured in a raid by the SS and NKVD and proved invaluable to human research into the making of atomic bombs.

The ship was named for Emperor Jossano.
