Jihad: Final Reckoning holds a full list of warships WoB ever had in its possession (wether owned originally or captured from other nations).

It's distressing how many of them are not accounted for

You say “distressing,” I say “plot hook.”
Some places remain unknown because no one has gone there.  Others remain unknown because no one has come back.

Your list is missing the Zec II that was gifted to Stone from the FedSuns.  It was then destroyed by WoB during the invasion of Terra.  I am away from my lists currently, but I believe it originally was the FWLS Ioxidia (sp? ).

Speaking of distressing plot hooks, The Erinyes, the Newgrange armed with the heavy mass driver, is still unaccounted for and not on the list. Last known location was at Lopez in 3080.

I think the WoB Thera makes a last appearance in the intro story of ISP3: Interstellar Expeditions - Shades and Spirits.

Edit: It does. Timestamp says 15 June 3095, uninhabited system 22.7 lightyears coreward from McEvedy's Folly.

It's in line with the proposed further history of the Word of Blake remnant after the Jihad, as originally planned out by Herb Beas and Ben Rome. Ben Rome posted about their vision of the WoB future. But if or to what extent it will now ever become canon is unknown.

(On the one hand, everything published so far is consistent as far as I can see. On the other hand, Ben Rome's posting of the future history of the WoB makes it seem rather unlikely that it will become canon, and even suggests it was already discarded by the new Line Developer. We, the fans, probably will not know for a very long time to come, if ever.)

Frabby, do you have a link handy to Ben Rome's post on the WOB future plot?

It's more interesting than optimal, and therefore better. O0 - Weirdo
