13th Emperor Poropss-The Merciful

From Turtledove

The 13th Emperor Poropss-The Merciful was a starship in the Race's Conquest Fleet which invaded Tosev 3 in 1942. The ship was a hospital ship where males of the fleet who were wounded in combat received medical attention. Ussmak recuperated from radiation poisoning he'd sustained in the Soviet Union aboard the ship, and while there, an orderly on penal duty introduced him to ginger, to which he swiftly became addicted.

The ship was named for the 13th Emperor Poropss, who was known as "the Merciful."
