#hellships
As the war progressed, most Allied POWs were shipped aboard "hellships" to Japan to perform slave labor, as commemorated by this monument at Subic Bay, leaving only the sickest and weakest in Cabanatuan.

In Museum Bronbeek voor een kleine tento over de Hellships. Japanse schepen met duizenden Britse en NL’se pow’s die in 1944 werden gebombardeerd. Bijna niemand overleefde.

The Japanese 'Hellship' Houfuku Maru has been found. In the linked thread there's an interesting contribution by John Dressy, who found her.

Since it's for #FantasyIndiesSpooktober, I want to lean into some of Elementia's more horrific villains.

One of the most existential threats to the world are the hellships that pass from the Abyss into Elementia at the Brink. They are living predators, crewed by all manner of demons and devils.
#FantasyIndiesSpooktober

Angry, tortured souls known as the Knockers are the villains in Of Myth and Memento Mori. They are looking for revenge, and only their knocks upon the trees serve as a warning to their arrival.

It'd be a shame if it was invaded by any hellships

Some Elementian religions have concepts of angels and devils as supernatural paragons of good and evil.
But, on the whole, creation/preservation versus entropy/destruction is a more pressing concept. In that vein, hellships crewed by demons are the ultimate agents of destruction.
#JuneWorldbuilders 1: Good/Evil

There is no such thing as good or evil in The Odyllic Stone. It's all just a bunch of people trying to make their way through a harsh world. Some are more selfless and some more selfish.

Een weekend van herdenken. Gisteren in heg ‘Oranjehotel’ op Scheveningen en vandaag op Bronbeek in Arnhem waar de slachtoffers van de hellships werden herdacht. Namens de Oorlogsgravenstichting kransen gelegd. Nooit mogen we vergeten wat mensen elkaar kunnen aandoen! @ogsnl

Nee niet daar. Wel bij Bronbeek herdenking vd torpedering vd Junyo Maru en andere hellships. Mijn opa kwam daarbij om. En op 15 augustus ben ik een keer samen met mijn moeder bij het Indisch monument geweest. Bevrijdingsdag overzee: voor oma, ooms en moeder. Beide herdenkingen waren indrukwekkend.

Stream is over and HOLY shit this game has got its ups and downs. Loved riding the dragon around, felt really fun zipping around shooting shit down taking down hellships.
Was not a fan of the gigantic map the immediately followed.
Didn't help the difficulty I had it at I turned up relatively high.

Japanese "hellships" transported POWs during WWII and were often disguised, sailing with fleets. Allied forces targeted these, not knowing their true purpose.

Now, those that died aboard the Hōfuku Maru can be recognized.

Also, shout-out to Josh Gates.
