The Atlas had never been designed to transform. The schematics had been based on the Castle of Lions, not the Lions themselves. The Garrison had built a formidable ship, it was only the little sliver of magic in the crystal from Allura’s crown that had allowed it to transform. Once Shiro retired, the Atlas could no longer become a warrior robot. It still had value, as a ship and as a symbol, and the heart of the coalition was peaceful. So, the Atlas had primarily been used for diplomatic voyages, peace summits, and occasionally as a reassuring presence in orbit of a politically volatile planet. That final function was rare, though. Even with energy rationing, reparations and rebuilding, the violence and resistance to the new intergalactic power struggle happened almost exclusively on the outskirts of the systems affected.
So, the Atlas wasn’t what Keith was expecting when he asked Earth for support for his Marmora Base, deep in contested territory…
… and the Earth Coalition flagship’s arrival was nothing compared to his surprise at who was helming her.
