The ship momentarily comes apart, disaggregated, before all hands are lost. They travel close into the orbit of Venus, but come to an abrupt stop before reaching the surface. The Protomolecule, upon impact, had started to develop into something unnatural and the Arboghast was determined to find out what. To avoid confrontation with Mars, they sent an unarmed research vessel and attempted to send probes to the surface to monitor what was happening. The ship is heavily armored and has railguns and torpedoes at its disposal.Īfter the Eros incident, where Julie Mao is persuaded to crash Eros into Venus, Earth sends a vessel to check on the landing site. The ship is commanded by Captain Yvgeny, who is described by Avasarala as a man of restraint. He is supposed to have said that he “regrettably only had one life to give for his country”. He was eventually caught and executed by the British. The UNN Nathan Hale is a UNN battleship names after a spy for the Rebel Colonial faction led by George Washington during the American Revolution. The Scirocco, which means an African breeze coming over the Mediterranean, is badly damaged above Ganymede after the incident involving the Protomolecule occurs on the surface. We also meet Bobbie Draper on board, who is eager for conflict with Earth. We meet some important Martians aboard the Scirocco, such as Lieutenant Sutton, Captain Martens and Commander Thorsen. It enters a race with the UNN Nathan Hale to reach Phoebe, and ends up destroying it with nuclear weapons to stop the Nathan Hale reaching it first. The MCRN Scirocco is a Martian vessel that is responsible for destroying Phoebe station in order to stop the UN getting to it first. The Captain, Theresa Yao, explained all when she said the ships weakness was its lack of experience in battle and it was clear that the Martian’s were arrogant and confident in their superiority in not neutralizing the threat quickly enough.
Questions were raised about how the pride of the Martian Navy was destroyed fairly easily, given the Martian’s pride themselves on their toughness and the array of weapons on board the ship. It was our first real look at the inside of a Martian vessel and it was very sleek and ordered, as we’d expect of a Martian ship. We didn’t see too much of the Donnager in action, apart from it getting destroyed by the mysterious stealth ships in the first season.
My first thought on the Donnager was that it had a cool name that grows on you a ships name is pretty important afterall. That being said, some of the ships in The Expanse do look visually stunning and here are some of the ships we like the most.

The writers maintain that the ships in this series are built according to practicality, rather than aesthetics, as other science fiction shows have done in the past. Spoiler Alert: Article contains some important information regarding the plot of season 1 & 2 of The Expanse television series The Expanse has recently concluded an amazing second season on our screens, and whilst we are made to wait for the third season, scheduled for next year, I wanted to take a quick look back at some of the ships we’ve seen so far.
