Ordered in 2014 but not delivered until 2022, the Rinna Kazamatsuri has the distinction of being the Gagarin-class ship that spent the longest time ever in construction drydock. She was used (with permission of Stellvia Corporation) as a testbed for the class' Block II technology, and is thus a hybrid of the two major types of ships in this class - faster and more reliable than a Block I, but not up to par with a ship built as Block II from the keel up.

Assigned to the Artemis Foundation but owned directly by Stellvia Corporation, Rinna Kazamatsuri is on long-term assignment to study the Beta Hydri system. This exploration mission is Captain Safety's first independent command.
