Elsa

The Elsa is a ship that appears in all 3 games in the Xenosaga series. It operates on behalf of the Kukai Foundation and is run by Captain Matthews, Tony and Hammer.

Episode I
Matthews leads the Elsa towards the wreckage of the Woglinde after it is destroyed by the gnosis. There they come across KOS-MOS, whom they initially mistake for a corpse. KOS-MOS demands they bring her to Second Miltia and Matthews, Tony and Hammer relent to her demands after she threatens to shatter the window and kill them. The Elsa comes across Shion and Allen's escape pod shortly afterwards and after Shion threatens to kill herself and Allen, and chaos appears on the bridge, KOS-MOS allows them to come on board. The Elsa soon finds itself encountering Ziggy and MOMO, who are escaping from the U-TIC Organization and board the ship. Shion and the others join up with them to fight off U-TIC. The Elsa remains as the main transportation of the party throughout the rest of the game. It travels to the Dock Colony, then is trapped in the Cathedral Ship. After it makes its way out of the Cathedral Ship, it docks with the Durandal and the party heads to the Kukai Foundation. Near the end of the game it is used to travel to the Song of Nephilim and Proto Merkabah. At the end of the game the Elsa makes its way into the atmosphere of Second Miltia. It is about to burn up before KOS-MOS is able to cool the ship down, and it makes a safe descent.

Episode II
The Elsa can be seen early in the game when the party arrives on Second Miltia. It appears again later in the game after Shion escapes from the Dämmerung and is making its way towards Old Miltia. The Elsa and its crew must fight their way through the Ormus Stronghold when they take a detour between two black holes. The Elsa then lands on Old Miltia as the party travels through it towards Labyrinthos. The Elsa manages to escape from Old Miltia as it is destroyed, forming the Omega System.
