WF Madame Vigée Le Brun Datasheet (Patreon)

This is the WF Madame Vigée Le Brun, named by Wolf359 supporter for the 18th/19th century french court painter. The Colour scheme is taken from her painting Julie Le Brun as Flora, (1799).

The Le Brun was bought directly from the manufacturer Laboratoires Humeau, by the French billionaire and philanthropist, Valerie Gineste De Saur. Valerie used the ship to perform a 22nd Century 'Grand Tour', visiting Venus, Mars, Ceres and Vesta, Jupiter and Saturn. Her poems, written from the confines of the ship's small living area, when published garnered some critical, but very little popular, acclaim. It wasn't until Valerie's ill-fated attempt to circumnavigate Saturn's rings that her work reached a wider audience. Live streaming a stream-of-conciousness epic poem, while skirting closer and closer to the rings, Valerie eventually pushed her luck too far. After journeying along nearly two thirds of Saturn's A Ring, the WF Madame Vigée Le Brun dipped into the Encke Gap to get a closer look at the tiny moon Daphnis. Exactly what happened next is just conjecture, but De Saur's live stream abruptly stopped broadcasting, and no sign of the ship remained.

The remnants of Valerie Gineste De Saur, and the WF Madame Vigée Le Brun, are now probably orbiting Saturn, along with trillions of other particles, somewhere on the edges of the A Ring and the Encke Gap.
