The '''SS Scavenger Series''' is an interconnected science-fiction universe created by
[[Daniel R. Bingamon]]. The series follows the missions, crew, and legacy of the
Prosian-registered cargo and exploration vessel '''SS Scavenger DX-1017''', its
sister ships, and the wider network of characters, cultures, and technologies tied
to the Flow-based civilizations of the Procyon region.

The series combines starship adventure, humanitarian rescue, alien philosophy,
interstellar diplomacy, and high-concept speculative technology such as the
[[Phase Drive]], [[Nilita’fen]] (Flow of Light), and the ethical use of quantum and
resonance-based systems.

It currently spans more than a dozen stories, short novels, novellas, and
supplemental lore documents, forming an expanding canon known collectively as the
'''Scavenger Universe'''.

----

== Overview ==
The SS Scavenger Series centers around the rebuilt cargo vessel
'''SS Scavenger DX-1017''', commanded initially by [[Elan Drex]] following his
retirement from the Alliance. The ship becomes a symbol of renewal—rebuilt from
scrapyard hulls using an experimental Phase Drive originally designed by
[[Dr. Meras]].

Across the series, the ''Scavenger'' and her successor vessels participate in
exploration missions, humanitarian operations, scientific research, diplomatic
encounters, and conflicts including the [[Tonan Phase Weapon]] crisis and the
subsequent Tonan Civil War.

The series also explores:

* Prosian culture and history
* The ethics of post-war reconstruction
* Origin and evolution of AI entities such as [[Sariel]]
* The Phoenix mythology within the universe
* The development of the Prosian Merchant Corps
* The nature of the Flow and its philosophical implications

----

== Series Structure ==
The SS Scavenger Series is divided into multiple narrative threads:

; '''Mainline Stories'''
The primary numbered storyline following Elan Drex, the crew of the Scavenger, and
the events that define the universe’s core timeline.

; '''Sariel Stories'''
Focused on AI autonomy, identity, and evolution (''Citizen Sariel'',
''The Healing Stars'', ''AI of the Beholder'', ''The Fractured World'').

; '''Lore and History Works'''
Including the '''Prosian Unification Story''', the '''Prosian Language Guide''', and
historical/geopolitical content about [[Prose]].

; '''Side Stories and Universe Expansions'''
Including ship-focused stories, Phoenix mythology, and world-specific lore.
