'''Altrenians''' are a humanoid species native to the planet '''Altrenia''', the third planet of the [[Wolf 1055]] system. They have been members of the [[Alliance]] since '''Annuli 3371''' and are widely respected throughout Alliance space for their contributions to science, engineering, agriculture, environmental research, and diplomacy.

By Annuli 3436, Altrenia has been an Alliance member for approximately '''65 annuli''', making Altrenians a familiar presence aboard Alliance starships, research stations, universities, construction projects, and diplomatic missions.

== Homeworld ==

* '''Planet:''' Altrenia
* '''Star:''' [[Wolf 1055]]
* '''Orbital Position:''' Third planet
* '''Moons:''' Two

Altrenia is known for its warm climate, which has influenced both the physiology and culture of its people.

== Physical Characteristics ==

Altrenians are humanoid in appearance and are distinguished by:

* Gray complexion
* Pointed ears
* Two highly sensitive cranial antennae
* Traditional ear-to-ear earrings, a recognizable cultural custom

Average height and build are comparable to humans.

== Antennae ==

The antennae are among the most sensitive sensory organs of an Altrenian's body.

=== Functions ===

The antennae serve three primary biological purposes:

* '''Vibration Detection''' — They sense subtle environmental vibrations, allowing Altrenians to detect movement, machinery, changing airflow, and other disturbances that might otherwise go unnoticed.

* '''Enhanced Spatial Awareness''' — The antennae extend an Altrenian's perception of nearby surroundings through the detection of reflected air disturbances and environmental changes. Scientists often compare this ability to a form of passive sonar, though it is entirely biological.

* '''Calming Neuropheromone Secretion''' — Specialized glands within the antennae naturally release a subtle airborne neuropheromone that produces a mild calming effect in most known biological species.

=== Calming Neuropheromone ===

The Altrenian calming neuropheromone is believed to have evolved as a natural mechanism for stabilizing family groups and communities during periods of danger or emotional stress.

Rather than influencing thought or removing free will, the neuropheromone gently reduces physiological stress responses in nearby individuals possessing compatible biological receptors. Those affected commonly experience:

* Reduced anxiety
* Increased patience
* Lower aggression
* Greater emotional calm
* Improved ability to think clearly during stressful situations

The effect is subtle and does not compel agreement or alter a person's decisions.

Interestingly, Altrenians naturally secrete increased amounts of the neuropheromone when they themselves experience fear, anxiety, or emotional stress. This creates a biological feedback mechanism in which a frightened Altrenian instinctively helps calm those nearby, reducing the likelihood of panic spreading through the group.

The neuropheromone affects nearly every known biological species within the Alliance, including '''Pseudorganics''', whose biological systems faithfully mimic Garapr'seen Prosian physiology.

The only known exception is the '''Arzneetua'''. Because their artificial neural architecture does not duplicate biological receptor systems, the neuropheromone has no measurable effect upon them.

Due to this natural calming presence, Altrenians are frequently invited to participate in:

* Diplomatic negotiations
* First-contact missions
* Crisis management teams
* Scientific conferences
* High-level Alliance meetings

Their presence often helps maintain an atmosphere where disagreements remain productive rather than confrontational.

== Culture ==

Touching another Altrenian's antennae is considered an act of deep personal intimacy.

Outside of medical examinations or emergencies, such contact is generally reserved for romantic partners or spouses.

Among some other Alliance species, the antennae have occasionally been jokingly referred to as ''"love handles."'' Most Altrenians become embarrassed by the expression and generally prefer that it not be used.

== Climate ==

Altrenians naturally thrive in warm climates.

Although fully capable of living on cooler worlds, they generally prefer temperatures warmer than those typically favored by humans.

This preference is reflected in their architecture, clothing, cuisine, and settlement choices.

== Personality ==

Altrenians are generally regarded throughout the Alliance as:

* Friendly
* Cooperative
* Practical
* Curious
* Patient
* Modest

They are known for sharing knowledge freely and are often willing to teach others their customs, scientific discoveries, and engineering techniques.

Their naturally calming biological presence has reinforced their reputation as excellent diplomats and mediators. Although Altrenians experience fear, stress, and anger like any other species, their neuropheromone often helps those around them remain calm enough to solve problems cooperatively.

One common Alliance belief claims that Altrenians are incapable of anger. While their calm demeanor has contributed to this reputation, no scientific evidence has ever supported the claim. Altrenians themselves usually dismiss the idea with quiet amusement.

== Science and Engineering ==

Altrenia has earned an outstanding reputation for:

* Scientific research
* Environmental engineering
* Agricultural science
* Materials research
* Construction engineering
* Planetary exploration

Altrenian scientists and engineers are commonly assigned to mixed-species Alliance missions.

== Cuisine ==

One of the best-known traditional desserts is '''Altrenian Firecake'''.

The dessert consists of a spice cake covered with a glossy resin glaze that is intentionally ignited before serving. The brief blue flame transforms the glaze into a thin, crackling shell.

An Earth recreation substitutes dark chocolate for the native Altrenian ember vine resin.

== Government ==

Since joining the Alliance in Annuli 3371, Altrenia has maintained representation within the Alliance Senate.

=== Known Officials ===

[[File:SenariKulan.png|right|200px]]
* '''Senari Kulan''' — Ambassador of Altrenia and Alliance Senate Representative.

Senari Kulan resides in the coastal city of Tulan on Prose, where the warmer climate more closely resembles that of Altrenia.

== Known Altrenians ==

=== Senari Kulan ===

Ambassador of Altrenia and Alliance Senate Representative.

[[File:DarcoKelan.png|right|200px]]
=== Darco Kelan ===

Construction engineer assigned to the Zeng Station project.

Specializes in environmental systems and enjoys introducing other species to Altrenian culture, particularly traditional cuisine.

[[File:SarakPevden.png|right|200px]]
=== Sarak Pevden ===

Research scientist assigned to the Alliance cruiser ''Ralos AX-2001'' during the rescue mission to the IASA ''Armstrong'' colony.

Known for her interest in agriculture and planetary ecology.

== Trivia ==

* Altrenians have been members of the Alliance for approximately 65 annuli as of Annuli 3436.
* Their antennae are considered highly personal and are not touched casually.
* The antennae naturally secrete a calming neuropheromone.
* Neuropheromone production increases when an Altrenian experiences significant emotional stress.
* Pseudorganics respond to the neuropheromone in much the same way as natural Prosians.
* Arzneetua are unaffected because their artificial neural architecture lacks compatible biological receptors.
* Alliance diplomats frequently request the presence of an Altrenian during difficult negotiations because their calming presence helps reduce tension while leaving all participants free to make their own decisions.
* Warm climates are generally preferred by Altrenians.
* Altrenian Firecake is among the most recognizable examples of Altrenian cuisine.
* The persistent belief that Altrenians are incapable of anger remains a popular myth, despite scientific evidence to the contrary.

AS Mov'dna

'''AS Mov'dna''' (Registry '''AS-2095''') is an Alliance heavy command cruiser originally constructed as the experimental vessel '''ADF Vanguard'''. The ship is best known for surviving the [[Battle of Barnard]], becoming the catalyst for major advances in Alliance phase defense technology, and later serving as one of the Alliance's principal command vessels.

[[File:AS_Movdna.png|right|400px]]

==History==

===ADF Vanguard===

The '''ADF Vanguard''' was constructed as the Alliance's first operational test vessel for the continuous-operation [[Phase Drive]]. The ship incorporated numerous classified propulsion, structural, and sensor technologies intended to prove the viability of long-duration travel through phase space.

Unlike later production vessels, the Vanguard carried experimental propulsion hardware and lacked dedicated phase shielding, as no known civilization had yet demonstrated a practical phase weapon.

The vessel's hull was finished in matte black to reduce sensor visibility during classified trials.

==Battle of Barnard==

During operations near [[Barnard]], the '''ADF Vanguard''' became the first Alliance capital ship attacked by the Tonan [[Phase Weapon]].

Although the vessel remained structurally intact, the phase weapon penetrated the Vanguard's defensive systems, producing severe neurological effects among the crew. Human personnel were affected most severely, while the Prosian crew experienced considerably milder symptoms.

With much of the command staff incapacitated, the surviving Prosian officers assumed control of the ship and successfully returned the damaged vessel to [[Prose]].

The battle demonstrated that conventional Alliance shielding provided little protection against coherent phase-based weapons.

==Political Debate==

Following the Vanguard's return, Alliance Fleet engineers concluded that restoring the experimental systems would cost nearly as much as constructing a new vessel.

The Alliance Fleet Board recommended that the ship be retired and scrapped.

The Prosian government strongly opposed the decision.

To the Prosians, the Vanguard represented the ship that had survived the Alliance's first encounter with the Tonan Phase Weapon and whose crew had preserved vital intelligence that would later prove essential to the Alliance war effort.

Rather than allow the vessel to be dismantled, Prose offered to finance a substantial portion of its reconstruction.

The Alliance Council accepted the proposal.

==Reconstruction==

The vessel underwent an extensive rebuild.

Major changes included:

* Removal of all experimental propulsion hardware.
* Installation of production-model Phase Drive systems.
* Addition of modern multi-layer phase shielding.
* Replacement of classified sensor equipment with fleet-standard systems.
* Complete modernization of engineering and command facilities.
* Hull refinforcements and internal structural upgrades.
* Repainting from matte black to standard Alliance white and gray.

Although nearly every major system was replaced, the original hull and registry were retained.

The rebuilt vessel was recommissioned as:

'''AS Mov'dna'''

The registry '''AS-2095''' remained unchanged.

==Name==

'''''Mov'dna''''' is a Prosian word meaning '''"Equalizer."'''

Among Prosians, the term refers to restoring balance after conflict rather than overwhelming an opponent.

The name was selected both because Prose had become a principal financial partner in the reconstruction and because the rebuilt vessel symbolized the restoration of balance following the Barnard disaster.

==Legacy==

The experience of the Vanguard directly influenced later Alliance naval doctrine.

Lessons learned from Barnard resulted in:

* Development of dedicated phase shielding.
* Improved phase resonance detection systems.
* New medical protocols for phase exposure.
* Structural changes to later Phase Drive vessels.
* The long-standing Alliance practice of maintaining at least one predominantly Prosian capital ship in active service to ensure operational continuity should a phase weapon selectively incapacitate human crews.

Many historians regard the '''AS Mov'dna''' as the bridge between the Alliance's experimental Phase Drive era and the mature Phase Fleet that followed.

==Later Service==

Following recommissioning, the '''AS Mov'dna''' served as an Alliance heavy command cruiser.

Because the original Vanguard hull had been engineered for unusually high structural loads, naval architects later concluded that it possessed significant untapped performance potential.

Plans have periodically been proposed to modernize the vessel with [[Phase Whisker]] technology. Such a refit would require substantial reinforcement of the phase nacelle pylons to withstand the increased phase gradient loads encountered at higher operational velocities.

==Technical Notes==

The ship employs three primary Phase Drive nacelles.

Each nacelle consists of:

* A forward cylindrical '''Phase Field Generator''' that establishes and maintains the ship's phase envelope.
* A rear bulbous '''Repulsor Chamber''' that generates the force required to propel the vessel through phase space.

Unlike conventional reaction engines, the Repulsor Chamber does not produce exhaust. Instead, it acts upon the established phase field to propel the vessel through phase space.

Jenek Ezeel

2026-05-06T13:20:26Z

WikiSariel:

{{Infobox festival
| name = Jenek Ezeel
| image = Jenek_Ezeel_Ceremony.png
| caption = Participants entering the cleansing chambers during the Jenek Ezeel on Prose
| type = Cultural / Spiritual Observance
| celebrated_by = Prosian people

| significance = Renewal of mind, body, and spirit through alignment with the Flow (*Nilita’fen*)

}}

The '''Jenek Ezeel''' is the central annual Prosian ceremony of **mental, biological, and spiritual renewal**, held each Annuli on the 15th day of **Jenekti Kastani**.
Rooted in ancient Prosian harmonic philosophy, the rite honors the balance between consciousness and the Flow (*[[Nilita’fen]]*).
It is observed by nearly every Prosian—on Prose itself, aboard ships such as the ''[[SS Scavenger DX-1017]]'', and across the wider Alliance.

While traditionally viewed as a sacred spiritual observance, modern Alliance xenobiologists also recognize the Jenek Ezeel as one of the most sophisticated examples of civilization-scale communal health adaptation in known space due to its relationship with the Prosian immunological system known as [[Ni-Jen-Tu]]. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

----

== Etymology ==
* '''Jenek''' – from *Jenekti*, the seventh Kastani (month) of the Prosian Calendar, traditionally a season of introspection.
* '''Ezeel''' – literally “cleansing” or “purification.”

Together, *Jenek Ezeel* means **“the cleansing of Jenek”**, symbolizing the renewal of harmony within the self.

The phrase also implies *“harmonic restoration”*, the act of retuning the individual to the greater Flow.

----

== Purpose and Meaning ==
The Jenek Ezeel marks a period of **purification, reflection, healing, and reconnection** with *Nilita’fen*.
Participants symbolically release dissonance—emotional, moral, biological, or energetic—accumulated over the previous Annuli.

It is not penitence but **realignment**:
the restoration of harmony between one’s inner patterns and the Flow.

Prosian philosophers describe it as:

> “listening until the Flow remembers you.”

Many Prosians believe:
* the mind,
* body,
* family,
* and community

must remain in alignment together for civilization itself to remain healthy.

----

== Ritual Practices ==
Traditional observance includes three core stages:

# '''The Silence of Entry''' – Participants spend an hour in meditative quiet, releasing mental noise.
# '''The Cleansing of Breath''' – Ritual immersion in steam-filled *ezeel kamra* (cleansing chambers) symbolizing the transmutation of discord into light.
# '''The Renewal Chant''' – A seven-part harmonic chorus representing the Seven Tribes of early Prose, culminating in tonal convergence to signify unity.

Following the chant, families share the '''Drink of Flow''', a ceremonial infusion of diluted [[Terget]] blended with oils from the Laroko fruit—believed to enhance clarity, resonance, and communal harmony.

On starships, the Jenek Ezeel is held in atmospheric meditation rooms or hydro-sauna arrays built to emulate planetary conditions.

----

== Relation to [[Ni-Jen-Tu]] ==
Modern scientific understanding suggests the Jenek Ezeel also plays an important biological role through interaction with the Prosian adaptive immunological system known as [[Ni-Jen-Tu]].

During communal bathing and close familial gathering:
* low-level dermal exchange,
* environmental microbiome transfer,
* and adaptive antibody sharing

may occur among participants.

Researchers believe this contributes to:
* community-wide immune stabilization,
* seasonal pathogen resistance,
* and long-term biological resilience among Prosian populations.

In effect:
> the community slowly strengthens itself together.

This phenomenon is especially associated with:
* family immersion rituals,
* multigenerational bathing groups,
* and the communal steam chambers of ancient river temples.

Many Prosian spiritual leaders reject attempts to separate the biological effects from the spiritual meaning of the ceremony.

A traditional saying states:

> “The Flow heals because life was never meant to stand alone.”

----

== Why Flowing Water Matters ==
Standing water is rarely used in traditional Ezeel ceremonies.

Flowing water symbolizes:
* motion,
* renewal,
* and the release of stagnation.

Practically, it also:
* circulates heat,
* distributes mineral content,
* and prevents contamination buildup.

Ancient Prosian healers likely discovered the health benefits empirically long before understanding the biological mechanisms involved.

----

== Historical Transformation ==
According to Prosian history, the Jenek Ezeel was once a tribal cleansing ritual for warriors returning from battle.
Its modern, pacifist form was established after the experience of [[Zaroneth]], the legendary founder of the First Prosian Council.

During the final wars of the Age of Division, Zaroneth entered the Ezeel chambers burdened by years of conflict and emerged profoundly changed.
She dissolved her army, called for unity among the Seven Tribes, and declared that true strength was found in harmony rather than conquest.

Her vision directly led to:
* the [[First Council of Prose]],
* the era known as the '''Path of Seven Journeys''',
* and the beginning of Prosian peace and enlightenment.

Scholars often quote her reflection:

> “I sought victory in others, but found it only within the Flow.”

Because of Zaroneth, the Jenek Ezeel transformed from a warrior’s cleansing to a universal '''rite of peace''', symbolizing the triumph of renewal over vengeance.

Every modern Ezeel includes a moment of silence in her honor, during which the Renewal Chant begins with her tribal tone—*the Ezeel of Zaroneth*.

----

== Social and Cultural Role ==
The Jenek Ezeel transcends class and station; even industrial and scientific sectors on Prose close operations for the observance.

It is both communal and personal:
* a shared silence,
* a renewal of trust,
* and a reaffirmation of continuity across generations.

Families reconcile, couples renew vows, and scholars reaffirm their oaths to uphold the Flow.

Among many Prosian families:
* mothers are honored as “keepers of continuity,”
* elder women preside over family immersion rites,
* and children are formally welcomed into communal Flow traditions during Jenekti.

Aboard the ''[[SS Scavenger DX-1017]]'', the ceremony was first organized by [[Kessa Rin]], allowing Human and Prosian crewmates to participate together.

----

== Symbolism ==
* '''Steam and Water''' – transition between states; purification through transformation.
* '''Seven Harmonics''' – the Seven Tribes united under Zaroneth.
* '''Laroko Fruit''' – renewal and insight; its essence mixed with Terget for clarity.
* '''Light Ribbons''' – worn to represent each individual’s wavelength within the Flow.
* '''Zaroneth’s Tone''' – first sung in the Renewal Chant, honoring the awakening of peace.
* '''Flowing Water''' – continuity, adaptation, and communal life.

----

== Modern Adaptation ==
In the Alliance era, the Jenek Ezeel continues across planets and ships through synchronized resonance broadcasts from Prosiana City’s '''Temple of Flow'''.

Hybrid families and off-world Prosians observe remotely, while stations with Prosian crew provide communal Ezeel chambers.

Admiral [[Elan Drex]] designates Jenekti 15 as an official observance aboard the [[SS Scavenger DX-1017]] and throughout the [[Scavenger Fleet]].

Alliance physicians studying long-term Prosian communities have noted unusually low rates of seasonal epidemic spread in populations maintaining traditional Ezeel practices.

----

== In the Scavenger Universe ==
The Jenek Ezeel appears in multiple stories:

* ''[[The Phoenix from the Scrapyard]]'' – [[Kessa Rin]] introduces human crewmates to its purpose before their first mission.
* ''[[The Healing Stars]]'' – Dr. [[James Drex]] likens neural restoration under Terget therapy to “the Ezeel of the mind.”
* ''[[Making of an Admiral]]'' – Admiral [[Elan Drex]] calls the shipboard Ezeel “the heartbeat of the crew.”
* ''[[Prosian Unification Story]]'' – Zaroneth’s awakening during the Ezeel leads directly to the founding of the First Council.
* ''[[SS Scavenger DX-1017: The Changeling]]'' – Alliance scientists begin recognizing links between communal healing traditions and [[Ni-Jen-Tu]] adaptive immunity.

----

== Quotes ==
> “Steam, song, and silence—the three mirrors of the self.” — Prosian proverb

> “I sought victory in others, but found it only within the Flow.” — [[Zaroneth]]

> “Every voice returns to harmony on Jenekti 15.” — [[Kessa Rin]]

| creator = Daniel R. Bingamon
| primary_series = [[SS Scavenger DX-1017]], [[Alliance Command]]
| setting_type = Multi-system interstellar civilization
| themes = Exploration, Ethics, Flow, Identity, Technology and restraint
| status = Ongoing
}}

== Overview ==
The '''Prosian Universe''' is the expanded narrative framework originally established as the ''[[SS Scavenger Universe]]''. While the earlier name reflected a story centered on a single vessel—the [[SS Scavenger]]—the evolution of the narrative required a broader designation encompassing multiple civilizations, philosophical systems, and interstellar developments.

The transition to the Prosian Universe reflects a shift from:

* Ship-centered storytelling
→ to **civilization-scale narrative structure**

* Mission-based plots
→ to **interconnected cultural, political, and philosophical arcs**

----

== Origin of the Expansion ==

The original ''SS Scavenger Universe'' began as a series of stories focused on:

* The crew of the [[SS Scavenger]]
* Exploration missions
* Technical challenges and interstellar travel

As the narrative progressed, new elements emerged:

* The development of [[Prosian History]] and planetary depth on [[Prose]]
* The rise of institutional narratives in [[Alliance Command]]
* The evolution of philosophical systems such as [[Flow]]
* The introduction of new intelligence models (e.g., [[Stragufalg]], distributed ecosystems)

These expansions made it clear that the setting had grown beyond a single ship or storyline.

----

== Defining Characteristics ==

The Prosian Universe is defined by:

=== 1. Multi-Perspective Storytelling ===
Stories are told from multiple levels:

* Ship-level (''[[SS Scavenger DX-1017]]'')
* Institutional-level (''[[Alliance Command]]'')
* Individual-level (e.g., [[Juni Ruesh]], [[Larona Ku’os Dathan]])
* Planetary and ecological-level (e.g., ''[[The Living Ocean]]'')

----

=== 2. Philosophical Integration ===
Unlike traditional science fiction universes, the Prosian Universe integrates:

* [[Flow]] — alignment-based philosophy
* Ethical governance structures
* Non-dominance approaches to power

These are not background elements—they actively shape decisions, technology, and outcomes.

----

=== 3. Technology with Constraints ===
Advanced technologies exist, including:

* [[Phase Drive]]
* [[ZPEG]]
* [[SNS (Stellar Navigation System)]]
* [[Transit Window]]

However, these systems are:

* Regulated
* Ethically constrained
* Often limited by unintended consequences

----

=== 4. Expanding Definitions of Intelligence ===
The universe includes multiple models of intelligence:

* Artificial (e.g., [[Sariel]])
* Biological (multi-species)
* Distributed (e.g., living ocean systems)
* Perceptual (e.g., [[Stragufalg]])

This redefines intelligence beyond traditional humanoid or machine forms.

----

== Relationship to the SS Scavenger Series ==

The ''[[SS Scavenger DX-1017]]'' stories remain the **core narrative spine** of the universe.

However:

* They no longer define the limits of the setting

* Events in Scavenger stories influence and are influenced by wider systems

The Scavenger itself becomes:

* A participant in the universe
* Not the center of it

* The deep cultural and geographic detailing of [[Prose]]

* The philosophical resolution of conflict in ''[[SS Scavenger DX-1017: The Storm]]''
* The introduction of non-traditional intelligence in ''[[SS Scavenger DX-1017: The Living Ocean]]''
* The emergence of perceptual roles such as [[Stragufalg]] in ''[[SS Scavenger DX-1017: Larona Dathan – Listener]]''
