Longinus, the spear from Babel.
Longinus is the name of two things, both of which are sharp at the front and cyllindrical. One is a legendary spear found in Babel at the beginning of time, and the other is a vehicle on the planet Soluna.
The relationship between these items, if any, is unknown.
Babel[]
This Longinus is a legendary spear said to pierce the side of Christ wielded by the roman centurion St.Longinus. It was released when Adam tried to take the Apple of Sophia from the Adam and Eve Tree/Fountain. The lance pierced the statue of Jesus/Angel and released mercury sulfite. (Soul Symphony: "Genesis")
Soluna[]
ME-01134-X "The Longinus" is the full name of the vehicle known as longinus.
The Mercury Model Longinus is a bullet shaped mode of transport. The model itself is equipped with a super powered engine manufactured by MERC Corp. This engine, aptly named Mercury, has a titanium encased internal combustion chamber with several turbines to collect nuclear energy. The Mercury engine uses the cheap and popular nanopetrollithium fuel thus lowering the cost to make it run. The engine itself runs through the entirety of the vehicle protected by a titanium-aluminum alloy to provide a sturdy casing and a lighter weight. The shape of Longinus is aerodynamic providing little air drag when traveling at its maximum speed of 700 miles per hour, equivalent to the speed of sound. Longinus is also equipped with a strong electromagnetic grip on its base. Using magnetic force, the train can run at a faster speed without the friction caused by wheels. The Longinus is heavier than most vehicles that utilize the Mercury Engine, because its main purpose is for public transport.
Longinus is normally attached to transport cars, one on both ends to travel back and forth a single track without having to turn. These transport cars are diverse, ranging from luxurious public cars to heavier duty cargo cars. Several rails exist in Soluna today, a majority of which exists in E'dan, connecting one kingdom to another allowing its citizens to traverse the country with ease. A single rail line runs through the northernmost part of Heil and plans for creating an inter-island rail is on the works for the Chain Islands. (RPG: "Soluna")
