The Achaian Ring is the name given to the spaceships used by the Achaia on Another Life. The Achaia are known to have dozens of these ships.
Throughout the Series[]
Season 1[]
In Across the Universe, an Achaian Ring lands on Earth and an Artifact grows out of it.
In Hello, after the Salvare destroys the Artifact on Zakir, a fleet of five Achaian Rings races to the planet and destroys it in retaliation.
Season 2[]
In What's Bourne / What's Left Behind, an Achaian Ring emerges from a wormhole in the solar system and enters an attack course on the Salvare, attempting to destroy the threat that it poses to the Achaians. William, Erik Wallace and Ursula Monroe work frantically to turn the Salvare's FTL drive into a neutrino weapon. As everyone watches from the ground, an explosion lights up the night sky, but it's unclear which ship was destroyed.
In D-Day, it's revealed that the Salvare had successfully destroyed the Achaian Ring. In retaliation, the Achaians send an invasion force of at least 59 Rings into the solar system and demand through Seth Gage that, in exchange for calling the fleet off, humanity allow Artifacts to land all across the planet, everyone accept Achaian implants and the Salvare and its neutrino weapon be flown directly into the Sun within 24 hours.
After the Achaians are defeated with a computer virus, it's mentioned that the remaining Rings have retreated from the solar system.Technology[]
Propulsion systems[]
Unlike the Salvare, which uses what is implied to be an Alcubierre drive, a propulsion system that achieves superluminal velocities by warping space around the body of the spacecraft, the Rings, being made of more advanced Achaian technology, fold space-time between two points to create an wormhole to travel interstellar distances instantly. The propulsion method that the vessel uses to cross subluminal distances remains unknown.
Communication systems[]
The vessels' means of communication across superluminal distances and the technological systems that facilitate said communication are like the Achaian Rings' propulsion system, based upon the creation of a artificial traversable wormhole .
Weapon systems[]
The Achaian Rings exact type of weapon system is unknown. However, what is known is that the weapon systems are powerful enough for five Rings working in concert to annihilate the planet of Zakir.
