Fixed tense, past tense is the correct one. Not present tense. The Shroud was dispelled, thus it is to be spoken of in past tense. Also, we use literary past tense.

== Context ==
For an unknown reason (possibly related to [[Virtuosity]]'s [[Splinter]]ing),{{book ref|yumi|1}} UTol iswas the only celestial object visible through the [[shroud]] covering Komashi. This caused it to be of great interest to the residents of Komashi for centuries.{{book ref|yumi|8}} As Nagadan technology advanced, astronomers were able to use telescopes to determine that the "star" was in fact an inhabited planet.{{book ref|yumi|3}} However, no radio signals were detected from UTol, leading the Nagadan to conclude that its inhabitants were less technologically developed than their own society.{{book ref|yumi|14}}
 
== Function ==
The spaceship functions similarly to the trains and buses found in Nagadan, riding along a pair of [[Hion#Technology|hion lines]] that originate on Komashi; the lines for the ship project from the planet into space.{{book ref|yumi|14}}{{book ref|yumi|21}} The hion provides both power and guidance, and the ship presumably must remain connected to the lines at all times.{{book ref|yumi|14}} [[Nikaro]] believes that the hion lines for the space bus were strengthened somehow in order to cover such a large distance.{{book ref|yumi|30}} A nonresident of Komashi can manipulate the hion to navigate the ship.{{book ref|yumi|part=anotherepilogue}}
 
The vessel iswas capable of reaching the [[Iron Seven Waystation]], which lies an unknown distance from Komashi.{{book ref|yumi|part=anotherepilogue}}
 
== Mission to UTol ==
