The Way-Opener was the ship of Gabriel Lan and Pyreus Kril back when they were in the Nova Corps.[1]
History

The Way-Opener's crew with Gabriel Lan and Pyreus Kril
The Way-Opener was the oldest, smallest, and most-repaired ship in Xandar's fleet. This explorer ship was infamously given to people with ruined careers until the decorated Xandarian war hero Gabriel Lan, a Nova Centurion, personally chose it to command. He was given a small but dedicated crew, which included Cortellia, an admiral's daughter. A young man named Pyreus Kril, who deeply admired Lan, asked to join and Lan accepted. The two became close, and Kril became Lan's first officer.[1]

Notes
- In its original appearance, the Way-Opener was drawn looking exactly like Rhomann Dey's Ship.[2] It was completely redesigned in Uncanny Origins #4.
