The Scale of the Guanshiyin
30The Guanshiyin is Jules-Pierre Mao's yacht.
Although it's the size of ships that normally transport two hundred people, it only has a dozen staterooms. Each suite of rooms takes up nearly an entire deck of the ship, and each room has its own private bath. The ship also boasts a media center, game room, and lounge with a full bar and a large screen showing the view outside. The exterior bears a mural of a horse, painted in color.
"Guanshiyin" translates to "the one who perceives the sounds of the world" in English.
The ship has two shuttle bays, at least one of which deploys a launching platform to the exterior of the ship.
During Caliban's War, one of the yacht's bays houses a standard short-flight shuttle while the other one houses the racing pinnace Razorback.
