The "Queen Xenobia" was created in 1978. With its interior design harkening back to the 1930's golden age of passenger ships, many people fell in love with the boat's design.

However as air travel rose in popularity and the passenger ship industry fell into a slump in the late 80's, the vessel was planned to be scrapped, until it was bought out by the Paraguas Line company.

The company completely remolded the vessel with state of the art technology and turned it into a luxury cruise liner.

With its base in the Mediterranean Sea, the cruise ship ran routes throughout many different countries, and provided good times to all who stepped aboard.

However with Paraguas Line's bankruptcy in 2003, the vessel was once again set to be scrapped. There are no remaining records of the "Queen Xenobia" after that point, and with the appearance of the boat on the oceans as a ghost ship, there are nothing but mysteries.

Despite the misspelling, it's nice we get to know about the ship's history. One very interesting thing is that the ship was bought out by Paraguas Line... 'paraguas' is spanish for 'umbrella'. Easter egg or a nice tie-in? The fact this cruise line went bankrupt in 2003 (same year as Umbrella) and the interior decoration features paintings of Spencer's european mansion from LIN, leads me to think it's more than just a coincidence.

Why is the name Xenobia? The original text says Zenobia.

Quote:
"クイーン・ゼノビア"は1978年建造。
客船黄金時代である1930年代を思わせるその内装は多くの人々を魅了した。
航空路線の発展により遠洋航海客船が低迷し、
一時は廃船の危機も囁かれたが
80年代後半にパラグアス・ライン社に買い取られた。
その後大改装工事の末、最新鋭の設備を有する
クルーズ豪華船へと生まれ変わっている。
改装後は、地中海を拠点に世界各国を周遊する
航路に就航し、訪れる賓客を楽しませてきたが、
2003年には、経営不振からパラグアス・ライン社が事実上倒産。
それに伴い同船の廃船が決定されている。
それ以降、"クイーン・ゼノビア"についての記録は残されておらず、
今回、ゴーストシップと化して洋上に現れた同船に何が起こったかについては、すべてが謎に包まれている。


And incidentally, Paraguas meaning Umbrella lends further credence to my theory that the Queen Zenobia was related to Umbrella.

Also, a bit is missing in that translation.

Maybe Paraguas Line is some kind of hoax? Maybe it's actually Umbrella, and they went with the name Paraguas Line so people couldn't know it was them?

^ Paraguas Line is most definitely Umbrella's way to cover themselves in the luxury cruises market.

News Bot: this is the official text about Queen Zenobia (or Xenobia lol) from the Revelations website:

Could that red liquid be the T-Abyss virus?

Translated it myself.

Quote:
The "Queen Zenobia" was constructed in 1978.

The interior which harkened back to the 1930s golden age of cruise ships attracted many people.

The ocean voyage cruise ship fell into a slump due to the development of airlines, and at one time a crisis of the ship being scrapped was whispered, however it was purchased by the Paraguas Line company in the late 1980s.

Afterwards, after huge remodeling construction, it was reborn as a luxury cruise liner with state of the art facilities.

After remodeling, based in the Mediterranean Sea, it went into service making round trips of every country in the world, pleasing its guests, however in 2003, the Paraguas Line company went virtually bankrupt due to poor management.

In accordance with this the ship was decided to be scrapped.

Since then, there is no remaining record of the "Queen Zenobia", and with the appearance of the ship at sea as a ghost ship, it is a complete mystery.

And I ask 'why'? Mr. Rod already provided the official translation by Capcom.

Right, I forgot you know more than them!

They left out the part about the line company going bankrupt as a result of poor management, they just said it went bankrupt. In case they missed anything else, I just went over it. Take the tree out of your ass.

There are other cases where they didn't bother actually translating throughout the site, such as Vester's profile. While his profile actually says that he harkens to agents of a certain organization, the "official" translation says he has a military background. Quite a change.

Spoiler:
Yes I do know more than CAPCOM's translators. Thanks for noticing.
