Cyniad

The Cyniad is a scout ship for the Idenna, fleet ship of the quarian Migrant Fleet. Intorduced in Mass Effect: Ascension. It is old and rickety, with constant repairs being made just to keep it running. Though most would have decommissioned it the quarian don't have the luxury of being picky.

The Cyniad uses a Rover for the crews ground transportation.

The Cyniad, was ambushed on Shelba by Pel, a Cerberus agent, looking to obtain the Migrant Fleet's communication codes. The meeting was set up by a fellow quarian named Golo during which all the crew except the pilot were slaughtered. The pilot later died of multiple infections caused form wounds during this encounter as well as interrogation.

The ship and their crew were later searched for by Lemm'Shal nar Tesleya a quarian on his Pilgrimage, looking to become part of the Idenna crew.

The Cyniad was became the key for a Cerberus assault team, including Golo and Paul Grayson to infiltrate the Migrant Fleet and dock with the Idenna's bay seven using the ships authorization phrase "My body travels to distant stars, but my soul never leaves the Fleet.". The Cyiniad was also specifically enhanced by Cerberus for this mission with a powerful short-range laser to knock out the Idenna's communication systems.

The Cyniad was filled with explosives to detonate and cover the escape of the Cerberus Assault Team. However both the Cyniad and the Idenna survived since the detonators were deactivated in time.
