As the Pandoran army continued its advance into Confederation space, sacking system after system, the Taylor family - along with some close friends and bodyguards - prepared to evacuate the Rex system and travel to Gabriel, aboard the Calypso's Fancy.

The liner was attacked and destroyed when the Rex system was invaded by a large detachment of Pandoran starfighters, led by a warship known as the North-South Divide. Kelly Taylor attempted to defend the Calypso's Fancy, but was overwhelmed by the sheer weight of enemy numbers. The liner was destroyed soon after the system was invaded, killing everyone aboard.
