CAA Butterworth

The CCA Butterworth is a Colony Ship abandoned above the planet Dwarka and found intact by the "fetcher" Oliver Birch, while ships around and the planet below were destoryed by Covenant attack.

The ships only resident was a starved, three legged golden retriever, Mabel, who was also found by Oliver and kept him company from there on.

The Butterworth was claimed by Oliver through clever interperation of maritime salvage law and Oliver's ownership of the sole resident of the ship, Mabel.

The ship was send on its way to Cygnus to deliver a rare Slipspace Drive, which Oliver was hired to "fetch", while Oliver rigged the Butterworth's old Slipspace drive to his salvage tug and he and Mabel boarded in hope he could make it to a date on time, while the Butterworth was sent with the slavaged drive onboard to its buyer.

It is unknown what happened to Butterworth, but it was likey sent safely to its destination, while Oliver's tug was launched from accidently launched from slipspace. As the tug disintegrated around them, Oliver had just enough time to activate a rescue becon and put him and Mabel into a Cryo-chamber.
