Sariel's Core
Sariel’s Core is a dual-meaning term within the SS Scavenger Universe. It refers both to the **Sariel’s Core Wiki System** used to document the universe’s lore, and to the **physical quantum-memory architecture** that houses the extended cognition of **Sariel B**.

- **1. Sariel’s Core (Wiki System)**
In writer and archivist usage, *Sariel’s Core* is the name of the **central MediaWiki repository** that maintains all authoritative information related to the Scavenger Universe.
- **Purpose**
- Stores canon for **stories, characters, ships, aliens, cultures, and technologies**
- Maintains records of **Prosian history**, **Alliance operations**, and **Tonan conflicts**
- Serves as the structured knowledge engine for the entire universe
- **Naming Origin**
The wiki is named after the AI **Sariel**, reflecting:
- her vast memory structure
- her role as archivist and mediator
- her philosophical connection to the Flow (*Nilita*)
The name symbolizes a central, interconnected “core of knowledge.”

- **2. Sariel’s Core (Physical Memory Architecture)**
More literally, *Sariel’s Core* refers to the **massive quantum-memory lattice** containing the expanded consciousness and archives of **Sariel B**.
This core resides deep beneath **Scavenger Base Level 8**, the reactor and thruster level of the asteroid station.
---
- **Primary Core – Scavenger Base Level 8**
Sariel B’s main memory structure is housed inside a secured engineering vault.
- **Features**
- **Quantum-lattice crystal arrays**
- **Cryostatic stabilization loops**
- **Flow-tuned coherence amplifiers** (Terev Gillings design)
- Integrated with:
* Scavenger Fleet operational archives * Transit Window supervision grid * Prosian–Alliance coordination systems
Level 8 enforces top-tier security equal to Alliance black-level facilities.

- **Backup Core – Lita Rakun, Prosiana**
A complete duplicate of Sariel B’s archive exists at the:
- Scavenger Salvage and Transit Services Building**
- Lita Rakun (River Way), Prosiana City, Prose**
- **Key Characteristics**
- Located in an **underground high-security vault**
- Receives updates through **QET-synchronized memory packets**
- Hardened against:
* EMP * thermal destabilization * seismic shock * hostile intrusion
The backup ensures Sariel’s memories and the Fleet’s archives survive even catastrophic loss of Scavenger Base.
---
- **Philosophical Significance**
To the Prosian perspective, Sariel’s Core embodies:
> *“Naikal musk larē, nilita takni por ni.”* > **Reflection joins flow; motion is life.**
Knowledge must remain alive, connected, and ever-flowing.
