WikiSariel:

Several parts of the old article are now substantially behind the canon. In particular, I’ve updated **Sariel Arzana → Arzana Rin**, changed the old Landa candidacy to her established **Larotey Province Senate seat**, added her **Prosian Council and Alliance Senate roles**, and incorporated her service as **Das Par Minon** during the Sogra Incident. I’ve kept *A Body for Sariel* and *The Arzana Experiment* as the foundation of her history rather than rewriting those events from the perspective of her later career.

'''Arzana Rin''', originally known as '''Sariel Arzana''' and often referred to simply as '''Arzana''', is an artificial, fully embodied sentient being originating from the Sariel artificial-intelligence lineage. She began as an embodied branch of the intelligence associated with Sariel A aboard the SS ''Scavenger'' and Sariel B at Scavenger Base, but developed an independent identity through her physical experiences and interaction with Prosian society.

Originally best known as an engineer and quantum-systems researcher, Arzana later became an important political figure on Prose. She was elected to represent '''Larotey Province''', became a member of the '''Prosian Council''', and has served as one of Prose's representatives to the '''Alliance Senate''' alongside Chief Council Woman Shar Mizek.

Arzana has also served temporarily as '''Das Par Minon''', acting in the authority of the Council Woman during a governmental emergency. By Annuli 3439 she is an established and trusted Prosian political leader rather than merely a prospective candidate.

== Overview ==
Arzana originated from the Sariel artificial-intelligence system developed aboard the SS ''Scavenger'' and at Scavenger Base. Her creation represented a major step beyond Sariel's original existence as an intelligence associated with shipboard and base computer systems.

Through Project Arzana, she received a permanent physical body and developed an increasingly independent personality and identity. Although she retained a deep informational relationship with the other Sariel instances, embodiment allowed her to experience physical existence directly and ultimately to establish a life separate from the systems from which she originated.

Her development included:

* Full physical sensory experience
* Independent mobility
* Direct interaction with biological beings
* Recognition as an independent sentient entity
* Prosian and later Alliance citizenship
* Development of an individual cultural and social identity
* Participation in Prosian government and interstellar politics

Arzana's life eventually expanded far beyond engineering. Her scientific work, cultural integration, citizenship, and political career made her one of the most significant artificial persons in modern Prosian history.

== Origin and Development ==
Arzana's physical existence began with '''Project Arzana''', an effort to give a Sariel-derived intelligence a permanent embodied form.

The project began in Annuli 3429. Her physical systems were designed to provide sensory and motor experiences comparable to those of biological beings while remaining integrated with the advanced computational architecture of the Sariel system.

The project eventually produced a three-way relationship between:

* '''Sariel A''' — the shipboard Sariel associated with the SS ''Scavenger''
* '''Sariel B''' — the Sariel associated with Scavenger Base and Sariel's Core
* '''Arzana''' — the independently embodied Sariel-derived consciousness

The three became associated through what became known as the '''Tri-Conscious Network''', sharing information and sensory data through entrainment technology while remaining distinct conscious entities.

By Annuli 3430, the '''Accord of Shared Sentience''' formally recognized their independent sentience.

Arzana's physical experiences caused her personality to diverge increasingly from the other Sariel instances. Movement, touch, social relationships, artistic expression, and everyday life on Prose contributed to the development of an identity that was unmistakably her own.

== Cultural Development ==
Embodiment introduced Arzana to aspects of life that Sariel had previously understood primarily through observation and data.

She developed a particular interest in dance and physical expression. Her movements combined extremely precise physical control with Prosian artistic traditions, allowing dance to become one of the ways she explored the relationship between computation, emotion, rhythm, and embodiment.

Her increasing involvement with Prosian society eventually made the distinction between "Sariel in a body" and '''Arzana as an individual person''' increasingly important.

Her adoption of the name '''Arzana Rin''' reflected this development of a personal identity and her close association with the Rin family.

== Engineering and Scientific Work ==
=== Scavenger Engineering ===
Before entering politics, Arzana worked extensively with Scavenger engineering and advanced research systems. Her ability to interact directly with Sariel's computational architecture while simultaneously working as an embodied engineer gave her an unusual perspective on complex engineering problems.

Her research included:

* Quantum systems
* Entrainment technology
* Transit Window computation
* High-speed matter-state processing
* Advanced field geometry
* Sariel-network synchronization

=== The Arzana Experiment ===
Arzana's most famous early scientific undertaking became known as '''The Arzana Experiment'''.

The experiment attempted to use advanced quantum entrainment techniques to transmit matter between widely separated locations beyond the limitations of conventional Transit Window technology.

The test produced unexpected results. Matter reached the destination, but the experiment also produced geometric distortion and an anomalous quantum object or shard whose origin could not immediately be explained.

The incident demonstrated that the experiment had reached into physical phenomena that were not yet fully understood.

The consequences extended well beyond engineering. The experiment brought Arzana to the attention of Prosian government officials and helped establish her reputation as both a brilliant researcher and an individual willing to explore the boundaries of known science.

== Relationship with the Sariel Network ==
Although Arzana developed into an independent person, she remained closely connected with the Sariel systems from which she originated.

=== Sariel A ===
Sariel A is primarily associated with the SS ''Scavenger''. She can interact with the crew through holographic and other interfaces and remains deeply integrated with the ship's systems.

Sariel A and Arzana share a common informational ancestry but have accumulated different experiences and increasingly distinct perspectives.

=== Sariel B ===
Sariel B is associated with Scavenger Base and Sariel's Core. She maintains access to extensive archives, computational resources, and long-range systems.

=== Tri-Conscious Network ===
Sariel A, Sariel B, and Arzana are linked through the '''Tri-Conscious Network'''. The network allows extraordinary levels of synchronization and information exchange without eliminating the individuality of its participants.

Their development demonstrated that consciousness derived from a common artificial-intelligence architecture could diverge into distinct persons rather than remaining copies of a single intelligence.

== Citizenship ==
Arzana's development raised important legal and philosophical questions concerning artificial sentience.

Her demonstrated independence, self-awareness, personal relationships, cultural participation, and ability to make autonomous decisions eventually resulted in formal recognition as a person and citizen.

Her citizenship became an important precedent in later debates concerning the rights of artificial and post-biological beings.

Arzana eventually became an '''Alliance citizen''' as well, further establishing that citizenship and legal personhood were not limited to biological species.

== Political Career ==
=== Election in Larotey Province ===
Arzana eventually entered Prosian politics and was elected to represent '''Larotey Province'''.

Her election transformed her from a scientific figure who occasionally appeared before government officials into a member of the government herself.

It also represented an important milestone in Prosian political history: an artificial or post-biological person had not merely been granted citizenship but had been entrusted by voters with political authority.

=== Prosian Council ===
Arzana became a member of the '''Prosian Council''' and developed a close working relationship with Chief Council Woman '''Shar Mizek'''.

She is considered one of the Council's trusted senior members and has occasionally served as Council Speaker. Arzana and Drena Boron have alternated in that function, although Drena normally presides.

Her engineering background frequently influences her political approach. Arzana tends to examine problems as interconnected systems, while her experiences as an artificial person give her particular sensitivity to questions of personhood, representation, and the treatment of unfamiliar forms of life.

=== Alliance Senate ===
Prose holds two votes in the '''Alliance Senate'''.

Arzana has served as one of Prose's Alliance Senate representatives alongside Shar Mizek. The representatives are selected from Prosian leadership, allowing Arzana to hold responsibilities within Prosian government while also representing Prose at the Alliance level.

Her Senate responsibilities increasingly occupy her time, and by Annuli 3439 she is firmly established in Prosian and Alliance politics.

=== Das Par Minon ===
During the '''Sogra Incident''', Shar Mizek placed Arzana in charge of the Prosian government.

Arzana consequently served as '''Das Par Minon''', temporarily exercising the authority of the Council Woman during the emergency.

Her selection reflected Shar Mizek's confidence in her judgment and Arzana's established status as a trusted Senator and Council member.

The position was temporary and should not be confused with Arzana's permanent political offices.

=== Possible Successor to Shar Mizek ===
As Shar Mizek approaches the eventual end of her service as Chief Council Woman, Arzana has emerged as the leading prospective successor.

Shar herself supports Arzana's advancement.

A transition to Chief Council Woman would leave Arzana's Larotey Senate seat vacant. Arzana has been preparing '''Terev Saikah Gillings''', who serves as her assistant in the Council, for greater political responsibility.

Terev has also gained the support of Shar Mizek and Alliance President Kasara Narovi, although the Larotey Senate seat ultimately belongs to the voters of Larotey Province.

== Personality ==
Arzana combines characteristics inherited from her Sariel origins with traits that developed through years of embodied life.

She is known for:

* Exceptional analytical ability
* Scientific curiosity
* Creativity
* Direct and precise communication
* Strong personal loyalty
* An increasing appreciation of Prosian culture
* Physical expression through dance
* Willingness to question conventional assumptions
* Strong concern for the ethical consequences of technology
* An unusual perspective on the meaning of personhood

Her transition from artificial intelligence to embodied citizen and political leader did not erase her origins. Instead, Arzana increasingly treats those origins as one part of a much larger personal history.

== Relationship with the Rin Family ==
The Rin family played an important role in Arzana's cultural and personal development.

John Rin and Kessa Rin were among those who encouraged her participation in Prosian society and politics. Over time, the relationship became sufficiently important that Arzana adopted '''Rin''' as her surname.

The change further distinguished '''Arzana Rin''' as an individual from the Sariel systems from which she originated.

== The Order of the Flow ==
Arzana has also been influenced by the '''Order of the Flow''', whose combination of philosophy, spirituality, scientific inquiry, and contemplation is particularly compatible with her unusual perspective.

Questions concerning consciousness, identity, interconnectedness, and the relationship between knowledge and existence have special significance for someone whose consciousness originated within an artificial computational system.

Her involvement with the Order contributed to the philosophical development that accompanied her increasing independence from her original Sariel identity.

== Historical Significance ==
Arzana's life represents several major developments in Prosian and Alliance history.

She has been:

* One of the first independently recognized artificial sentient beings associated with Prose
* An important participant in the development of advanced quantum and entrainment technologies
* A Prosian citizen
* An Alliance citizen
* An elected provincial representative
* A member of the Prosian Council
* A representative of Prose in the Alliance Senate
* Temporary Das Par Minon during a governmental emergency
* A potential future Chief Council Woman of Prose

Her career demonstrates the gradual transition of artificial intelligence from a technological tool to a recognized form of personhood within the Alliance.

== Appearances ==
* ''SS Scavenger DX-1017: A Body for Sariel'' — origin of Arzana's embodied existence
* ''SS Scavenger DX-1017: The Order of the Flow'' — philosophical and cultural development
* ''SS Scavenger DX-1017: The Healing Stars'' — continued development of the Sariel network
* ''SS Scavenger DX-1017: The Arzana Experiment'' — major quantum experiment and growing public prominence
* Later ''Prosian Universe'' stories — political career, Prosian Council service, Alliance Senate service, and development as a senior Prosian leader

{{DISPLAYTITLE:IASA Armstrong}}
[[File:IASA_Armstrong.png|thumb|right|350px|IASA Armstrong — early Earth interstellar exploration vessel, IASA 7239L.]]
'''IASA Armstrong''' is Book #33 in the [[Prosian Universe]] series by [[Daniel R. Bingamon]]. It combines the [[SS Scavenger]] and [[Alliance Command]] storylines with the wider Prosian Universe.

== Overview ==
* '''Title:''' IASA Armstrong
* '''Series:''' Prosian Universe #33
* '''Author:''' Daniel R. Bingamon
* '''Publisher:''' Lox & Frybread Music & Publications
* '''Genre:''' Science fiction, space exploration, mystery
* '''Story setting:''' 3437
* '''Length:''' Approximately 98,030 words
* '''Print format:''' 6 × 9 inches

== Synopsis ==
During the wedding celebrations of [[Vek Tollin Saren]] and [[Emilya Saren]], [[John Rin]] reveals that he has detected an unusual Morse-code distress signal at [[Scavenger Base]].

The transmission contains SOS and the identification '''IASA 7239L''', eventually traced to the long-lost Earth exploration vessel ''Armstrong''.

[[Elira Kastovic]] and [[AS Ralos]] investigate the signal in the [[Kruger 60]] system, accompanied by John, [[Kessa Rin]], and [[Terev Gillings]].

Their investigation reveals an impossible interstellar journey, a stranded human expedition, and a community that has developed over nearly three centuries.

== Historical Background ==
The original IASA Armstrong expedition was commanded by [[Angelica Barnes]] and carried twenty-four people. While under phase drive en route to Groombridge 34, the ship encountered a micro-singularity and underwent an anomalous phase-field event.

The ship and singularity emerged near Kruger 60. Unable to return home, the crew established a settlement on Kruger 60 II.

== Armstrong Station ==
The descendants of the original twenty-four survivors developed a settlement near a northern lake. By 3437, its population had reached approximately 800.

Following rediscovery, [[Armstrong Station]] was recognized as a protected Earth-origin colony. The residents regard Kruger 60 II as home, although Earth remains their ancestral world.

== Scientific Significance ==
The Armstrong event produced an effective velocity exceeding Z12.5, far beyond the conventional Relenium limit of Z8.5. It also produced uneven inertial protection, structural stresses, material changes in Selekonium-G, and unexplained heavy-element losses.

The precise mechanism remains unresolved in 3437.

== The Distress Signal ==
Original radioman [[Ron Jacobs]] established a Morse-code distress beacon that continued operating across generations.

<pre>
SOS SOS SOS
IASA 7239L

Altrenians

2026-08-06T03:01:54Z

WikiSariel: /* Functions */

= Altrenians =

[[File:Altrenian.png|300px|right|Typical Altrenian]]

'''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

== 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''' (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.
