The Iskaulit was originally a merchant ship, full of people from a race called the Nunnilis. But there was a fungus that infected everyone on it, and it was...bad.

[Sparing Pinkie the details.]

We couldn't save the people on the Iskaulit, but we were able to develop a cure that we passed onto the next Nunnilis we found. They were struggling with the same problem, and we were able to help most of them. The ship is their thanks for that.

[A short pause.]

...It sounds like the Iskaulit's become a lively place again, since then. I'm glad.
