From the Hyperion Wki:

Father Captain Federico de Soya
'Father Captain Federico de Soya is a torchship captain in the Pax military, charged with locating and capturing Aenea following her emergence from the Sphinx tomb on the planet Hyperion.

Mission to Capture/Rescue Aenea

While in command of Pax Task Force MAGI Father Captain de Soya is summoned to Pacem where he receives a new mission from the highest levels of Church and Pax authorities – locate the child named Aenea and return her to authorities on Pacem unharmed.

Accompanied by Sergeant Gregorius, Corporal Bassin Kee and Lancer Rettig, his journey takes him to the following former River Tethys worlds'

The Raphael
'Archangel Class Starships are Pax interstellar spacecraft equipped with Gideon Drive technology that allows them to travel instantaneously between any two points in space. Due to the excessive gravities involved, human occupants cannot survive archangel voyages, and therefore archangel class ships are most commonly employed as uncrewed couriers. However, crewed travel is possible through the use of fugue tanks to contain the remains of born-again Christians until such time as they can be resurrected under medical supervision, or automatic resurrection creches for resurrection beyond the range of medical care.'
