Canterbury

Canterbury appears in The Expanse.

The Canterbury, an ice-hauler plying the routes between the Belt and outer planets, serves as the unassuming origin point for the series' galaxy-shattering events in Leviathan Wakes. Tragically destroyed by the stealth ship Anubis in a calculated act of bioterrorism, its obliteration scatters survivors like Jim Holden and unleashes the protomolecule upon humanity. Across the series, the Canterbury's loss reverberates as a pivotal catalyst, evolving from a mere freighter into a symbol of fragility and the spark that ignites interstellar war.
