General Description of the Comic Book Series
The magazine chronicles the voyages of the
interstellar ship Earth Horizons under the command of Captain Ender W Shin
who is in the service of a political and
technoscientific and military interplanetary
alliance created after two conflicts, one with the Scorpio and the other
against the Zark Empire, during the first human advance to the stars. The ship
remains based on a station around the imploded Alpha Centaur star for the
construction of the first passable artificial black hole connected to the solar
system. She patrols the sector, visits planets, performs operations against
pirates, conducts scientific expeditions in international cooperation, helps
build new portals, on diplomatic and first contact trips.
The stories address current issues
involving the technoscientific and
cultural/ideological/religious imperialism of the West, in addition to
environmental and social issues related to the uncontrolled consumption of
natural and economic resources. The narratives will be in the form of space
operas in the language of comics. So in order to build the elements I will use
analogies. The galaxy as the world and every planet a country, for example. The
characters are ambiguous. Seeking to explore and resolve conflicts in an age
that humanity has faced with powerful adversaries, Horizontes imposes itself in
favor of it. Within the fictional and fantastic universe, in a cold war-like
context with arms racing, space and alliance games, there are four technical
cultures that form a coalition called the Interstellar League established
against the rise of a Galactic Empire. I will try to explore anthropological
concepts and cultural theories. Relativism, for example. The
first groups of important characters are humans, Scorpio, Quandians
and Cinderians, who live in solar systems close to each other, have
their owncultures, affinities and differences. Each group developed its means
of access to interstellar space in different times, contexts, and motives. In
common, the economy. Their governments are classified as Republics, Democracies
and Monarchies considering the various internal variations of political
organization.
I chose to follow some
concepts to establish a structure of literary narrative. The stories operate
according to allegorical, metaphorical and metonymic functions. Thus, the Milky
Way galaxy is metonymy of the Earth, the human expansion through the metaphoral
space of imperialism and the extraterrestrial allegory worlds of submissive
countries.
The search for the exotic,
the opening of new markets, the search for natural resources to apply in
innovations, colonization, or better invasion by the West, wars abroad,
emergence of new types of monopolies and technologies such as the automobile
and the aeroplane are striking aspects of European imperialism in the second
half of the nineteenth century to the two world wars in the XX. , Adobe,
Google, which implement an imperialism without politics, nationalisms and that
dominates to the imperial center. It promises a deterritorialized freedom in which
the state seems powerless and whose absence is greatly felt and desired. It
means the promise of a single, planetary and diverse state.
In the comics, I chose to
adopt as a metaphorical representation of this desire of a State the ideas of
an alliance for the exploration and colonization of space in the form of the
Space Exploration Consortium composed of associated countries. Its
administrative headquarters are in Geneva, while its parliament is located in
Rio de Janeiro. It is up to this organization to coordinate prospecting,
colonization and cosmic exploration, in addition to relations with stellar
technical cultures by member countries. Note that they have not been
extinguished, but traditional Nation States coexist with relative ly
diminishing their sovereign powers, which have been redistributed and a portion
of them handed over to it. This presents an allegory of political liberalism in
a world whose globalization is consolidated and space presents itself as the
last frontier.
The development of hyperspace
technology by the Consortium required the search for new energy sources, the
improvement of the exploitation of current ones and the construction of an
infrastructure that allows the establishment of safe physical interactions such
as interstellar travel and the rapid supply of standaplants. The first
hyperpaths appear,a kind of "highways" designed to connect large
distances using black holes of different categories. Building these cosmic
"roads" has generated major environmental and social impacts on crops
whose secondary suns are used to generate a gravitational singularity stable to
transit between the two ends of them. Human builders claim they are
"progress coming through hyperspace." Traditional cultures see them as star breakers who set boundaries
that totally change their lives. Often they are displaced to another planet
because the natives are destroyed by stellar implosion, using the same
statement. "It's progress."
In this context, I add the
concept of mission according to the secular and religious senses, but here
before I focus on the first. This is the old ethnocentric idea of
"civilizing, bringing civilization, to the late peoples." I also
chose to use the concept of humanity meaning ethnicity, avoiding the
conventional definition of biological species, or because it has different
morphological aspects that is given to groups of extraterrestrial characters
who develop technical cultures. It influenced anthropology and cultural history
to that.
As humans advance
occupying and exploring stars and their planets, they are contaminating the
natives with solar diseases and contaminated with solar xeno. Nevertheless, the Consortium, concerned about
the health of its population traveling among the stars, sends expeditions with
medical scientists, exobiologists and
anthropologists to know and catalog the epidemiological agents and native
populations of exoplanets of human interest. Metaphor of imperialism which
reminds us that Europeans, Americans and currently Chinese carry out projects
for themselves.
The fight against smallpox
protected Europeans who invaded the lands of tropical areas. Africa, America
and Asia were territories mapped and divided among the powers. In the second
half of the 19th century they began to be physically connected to each other
more and more rapidly. I recall the railways and highways whose passages can
only occur if the inhabitant groups leave their places of origin and there is
safety to the builders. Gun safety and the application of vaccines to the
natives.
By transpose this into
speculative literature each group means a planet with its diversity. The desire
for the exotic as expressed by Europeans and Americans through the major
international fairs can also be transposed, using the idea of interstellar exhibitions.
Earth and its Solar Consortium
Humans live for almost the entire solar
system being the planets Earth, Mars, Venus and the Satellites Selênia, Titan
and Europe more populous. On Earth, sixteen billion people live. A
decentralized system is in place involving democratic and parliamentary
republics with a division of powers that take care of local issues and a large
assembly with a Secretary-General elected to take care of interstellar
relations called the Solar Consortium, which also leads the so-called
Interstellar League in a ten-year relay cycle. Within it, there are political,
economic and social groups that fight for hegemony and power during the
expansion of extrasolar human
activities. Star breakers and gate
builders plan to connect the entire galaxy by hyperspace highways. Its design directly affects foreign
cultures whose space of their systems
are distorted and the suns imploded. There are also the movements that emerged
during the establishments of communication with extraterrestrials opposed to
these relations. Thus, internal conflicts involving xenophobia occur,
especially with the Scorpio, followers of
Alimianism,who had their world devastated by the forces of the
Consortium.
Planet Scorpiae and the Scorpio
The Scorpio had an absolute planetary
monarchy based on their own religious system which was overthrown by the action
of humans interested in using one of their suns to build a passable black hole.
Subordinated to it and independent from human occupation through the Solar Consortium,
there are hundreds of theocratic monarchies and local assemblies, according to
a rigid system of seasons that prevents social mobility and forces the native
to perform the same functions of their parents. The laws are established
according to the sacred texts of the dominant religion, which also regulate
relations with extraplanetary cultures and species. They are a warrior species
attached to the maintenance of their traditions and to the Alimianist
Religion,predecessor of Universalism. They were clients of the so-called Zark
Empire until the emergence of the new religious ideology. Zark's
bellicose actions caused several waves
of Scorpio dispersal across the galaxy. They occupied the Fourth Planet of
the Scorpio 1-A System.
The Quand World and the
Quadians[1]
The Quandianos forming the oldest culture in the sector have
gone from an elective and parliamentary monarchy to an almost absolute
technocracy that works through a technical assembly and a large network
connecting various computer, communication and machinery systems to manage the
planet with reduced interference from the natives, even controlling
procreation. They were once great navigators, maintaining dominance of a
quarter of the galaxy until the beginning of the demographic crisis, conflicts
with new powers such as Zark,the Scorpio and the suitors of the Earth.
Biologically, they are a sexual species, but culturally they are asexual, with
a single genus and dependent on artificial fertilization and cybernetic
uteruses. Since the predominance of an industrial and individualistic society,
where competition and professional competition were worth, Quanian women
gradually began to give up reproduction, which led the State to seek to
technologically solve the problem of generational continuity.
Over thousands of years sex has become
taboo and few traces remain of the period. Only the remaining members of the
last imperial dynasty can maintain sexual relations with each other,
procreating in a natural way. No one can have contact with her because it is
considered impure because of sex. In the past, kings and queens have been major
opponents of the program of state conceptions by religious convictions, coming
to be repudiated by society that over the centuries ritualizes the monarchical
position denying physical communication with them. Despite this, princesses
continue to serve as matrices for the construction and maintenance of cyber-wombs and thus signify the taboo of
sexuality through rituals. However, no foreigner can get permission to an audience
with the monarchs and/or their nobles of the isolated court, who live
surrounded and cared for by robots and androids inside the planet. This causes
difficulties and embarrassments in interstellar relationships, where most
cultures are sexual polyses.
Morphologically, Quand is a system composed of a central planet with
artificial union from its equator to the axes of rotation other two planets.
With this connection two large opposing
towers were built diametrically cutting through the center of the mother planet
to form a network of super trains that
lead people from one body to another. The atmospheres are shared with each
other and form a thin layer of wrapped gases. There's a frozen ocean most of
the time on the central planet. Its continents accommodate the metropolises and
the population, most of which live underground, including in satellites. The
main and current concern beyond the demographic is the conservation of the
knowledge acquired about the galaxy in the quantum libraries, which has records
of many worlds and cultures extinct for over a million years.
Planet Cinder and the
Confederation of Associated Moons of Cinder
The Cinderians live on the moons and orbital seasons of
their ring-filled gas giant. The excess iron gave them the reddish tone to the
skin. Their sun is in the final stages of evolution which forces them to move
away from the outer planets. They are merchants, shipowners, skilled builders
and financiers, who synchronously with Earth and Scorpiae competed in the advance to interstellar space. They
sent expeditions before humans went into space to the Magellanic Cloud, but the
demographic reduction caused them to discontinue and seek partners from the
companies. They operate a large fleet of freighters, collecting ships and
mining companies.
Cinder is a federation of several
satellites of the gas giant called the Confederation of Associated Moons
of Cinder. Thus, there are deliberative
assemblies in each of its natural satellites and a general one with a Prime
Minister whose concern is the maintenance of the organization of the planetary
structure, interstellar trade, diplomacy and security. Society has a liberal
government, which now alternates between interventionists and centralists in
control of the State Parliament.
The Iruans or Iruanos
In
the binary system Eris there are two
planets where their societies have established a complex network of social and
cultural relations represented in the form of symbols and practices such as
trade, which is regulated by non-material values. The planets Yvi B and Yvi A are occupied by iruan culture. The worlds
are divided and controlled by two clans, one of matriarchal lineage and the
other patriarchal. The first who
lives in
Yvi A has a subsistence economy, is self-sufficient in almost everything
except in jumping technology that has never been developed. They trade with Ivy
B only symbolically. There are no monetary relationships, although many seek to
resolve material deficiencies for him and thus show appreciation to Ivy B. For
both worlds life is regulated by the two suns,
Nhamandu and Kuaray Iru,the Greater Sun and his companion, both
venerated as symbols that generate light, heat and life. There's a homoaffective
marriage ritual that represents that. It prevails in the marriages of Yvi
A the polysexuality where a woman sits with several men to have children
with different characteristics. In
Yvi B monogamy prevails and
children are encouraged to compete for women and accumulate material and
immaterial goods. With each eclipse of the suns both send spaceships to trade,
exchange and negotiate marriages.
Yvi B has jump technology and
negotiates accession to the Interstellar League and commercial opening.
The Zark Empire
Zark is a multicultural stellar empire
ruled by a customary monarchy of patriarchal lineage. The Emperor is sovereign
by divine right. It is the so-called temporal ruler. He shares power with
religious leader, the Father of the Universal Church. With the help of
religious orders called Companies conquer planets. When domination by faith is
not possible, the Armada is used composed of central government fleets,
provinces, kingdoms and client planets. Zark's capital world
is unknown. Its capital is regularly transferred to facilitate
administration.
Ideologies or Religions of the Scorpio and
the Zark Empire:
1-The Alimianism
The belief of one God. Monotheistic
religion. It is believed that the Creator chose the Scorpio to serve as emissaries
and executors of the divine orders. They believe that they had in the past a
humanoide body with aspects of scorpion: tweezers and stingthat tormented the
species of other worlds. The first Patriarch Alimia structured the history and laws of society
into a cosmic diagram: the scriptures. Accused of murdering creator Yeshua's
son were expelled and cursed, losing divine aspects. (This last sentence
represents the moment of rupture with traditionalism, perhaps influenced by
foreign cultures that brought messianism.) In the diagrams there are moral
codes, criminal codes and ways of organizing society. An example is the
prohibition of marriages and interspecies relationships, because sex serves
procreation and there are no descendants in them. Marriage beyond sacred is a
form of alliance and business relationship. The husband must pay tithing
annually to the father of the wife who divides him and passes part of it on to
her and another to the church.
1.1 The Mythical Origin of Scorpio[2]
Scorpio culture is about two hundred
million years old, according to scientists in the Solar Consortium, but
religious leaders of Alimianism consider
it as old as the universe.
It says the first book written by
Alymia that the Scorpio were part of the
Defense of Creation Army founded during the wave of scattering of light from
God. As soon as the first species began to dominate their planets, the Creator
made a cross-section of the universe and sent them. Undone access to
hyperspace, the Scorpio began to travel through the galaxy in order to inform
their population, observe it, implement divine legislation and perform
punishments against those who did not follow it after knowing it.
They had acquired all the properties
inherent in the universe that their bodies allowed. Humanoid-looking with
scorpion aspects. Claws and tweezers instead of feet and hands. A heavetail
with a sting at the end capable of tormenting, wounding and killing. The terror
of the people.
The leader of this army was called Luzir,
the first of the generals, created from the first wave of creation. He was the
highest in the hierarchy and subordinated directly to the Creator, "Lord
of all galaxies." He listened to Him, watched in the manipulation of the
universe from hyperspace, supervised the troops, thought about the strategies
and relayed the orders. He chose the planet in order to host the divine
soldiers.
That selected planet was from one system
close to another with an aggressive culture that advanced invaining other
distant worlds thanks to the mastery of knowledge of hyperspace access and
navigation. She already knew how to make, move, disassemble, reassemble and
reconfigure entire planets, so Luzir called them "Planet Builders."
God commanded the army to destroy them, for
this species refused to worship the Creator and had forbidden ambitions.
Civilization formed a very diverse empire with the Arienians,humans, Cinderians,
Quandians, Kenyans, and dozens of other peoples who gathered to conquer
the quelonianos universe. Under Luzir's
command,these abominable giants were destroyed, but because of the noble
general's piety, the accusers did not comply with all order. He saved the
survivors and sent them to other planets.
God lowered his first general and sent him
on planet patrol. Accuser Jariel was an
impetuous leader. He had already condemned a thousand planets to extinction.
When visiting the world of humans orbiting a small star, the beginning of the
discord occurred. This species practiced many wars, did not tolerate its
fellowmen from other regions, and undermined the divine commandment to
procreate, having sex between equals and with other species. After orbiting it,
recognizing the planet and visiting villages from which the population refused
to receive them, the leader sent his legion to destroy it. The former general
disagreed. He had allies in his favor. So is the other commander. In orbit the stines
of Luzir and Jariel faced each other. On the surface, the visited
localities became the basis for battle. Soon, the soldiers of both parties
realized the impossibility of victory without the annihilation of the universe.
Then God intervened by making a
cross-section of the universe and withdrew the leiais soldiers to divine
orders. Luzir's supporters remained in
it. They had been condemned to live like the mortals who watched and punished.
This was the fall, according to the texts of
alimianism of the 1st Cinclo
and the Scorpio oral tradition.
2-Universalism
Monotheistic belief with polytheistic
aspects, that is, some people can be promoted to Saints, intermediaries. They
believe that a Messiah, son of God, named Yeshua was sent to save the galaxy.
For a long time they lived hidden in the pipelines of space stations and rocky
subsoils of planets, moons and asteroids. Then zark's monarchy ofthe religion ofthe city and thanks to this
it expanded like the empire. Its leader is the second emperor, considered
father of the galaxy and elected to spiritual rule only. It is considered a branch of Alimianism
and Alimia the first prophet patriarch
of the nation of Accusers. Use some of
your scriptures.
Religion, Politics and State interrelate.
The provinces are called dioceses accompanied by their subdivisions. The
governors called cardinals and bishops. His actions of conquest to the sites
credited as sacred and occupied by diverse cultures such as the Scorpio are
called stellar crusades. Hegemonic power is divided between Scorpio,
Arienians and humans.
Characters
1. Captain
Ender W Shin:
Born in a rural village on Earth, where
his family grew cereals such as soybeans and rice. As soon as he turned 18 he
enlisted in the space force to escape agricultural work. Influenced by his
mentor at the academy, Professor Michio
Akira, a hyperspace physicist, became interested in interstellar flights
through the experimental jump at that time. After his training he served in
research and diplomatic ships.
Ender convinced the Quanian
government after the conflicts with Scorpio to a partnership that involved star
expeditions with Quanian ships and the construction of the quandiano "bridge" linking the Solar System
to Alpha Centauro. He participated in the first conflicts against Zark. He was concerned with studies on
interstellar jumping problems and hyperspace navigation, thus helping to
improve the multidimensional coordinate marking system. He was given the command
of VAH/FMA-01 Horizontes, which is assigned to
the Interstellar League for anti-piracy patrols, scientific, diplomatic
expeditions and assistance in the expansion of the hyperspace network. Without
children, wife or husband, he lives alone, excepting in moments of contact with
his subordinates most of the time. He is one hundred and fifteen years old with
a younger appearance because of the relativistic effects. He likes literature
being in love with The Odisiac and The Lusíadas. He's a diplomatic man.
Enjoys wine and meetings with few people. Currently, it is also immersed in the
debates on environmental and cultural impacts caused by the construction of the
new Einstein-Rosenbridges and in the first contacts with [3]other
extrasolar cultures in order to establish relations of exchanges,
trade, increase the number of allies and reduce the influence of the Zark Empire..
2. Commander Alan Thirty
He's the First Mate of horizons, son of a
former master officer mentor of
Ender Shin. Always privileged by
his father's position, Alan quickly ascended into the Armada. He learned to cultivate extreme terrationalism from his youth until he became
involved in political[4]
activism against the presence of foreigners within the worlds of the Consortium
and the presence of other species with technical cultures on Earth. He likes
football being a fan of Mount Olympus of Mars. He has a passion for history and
archaeology which have been discouraged by the family to the detriment of
military training. Thanks to this, he became friends with historian,
archaeologist and
xeno-anthropologistElizabeth
Tânis. For a while the girl was
her obsession and therefore forced to walk away. Today, in different fields and
positions, they occasionally dialogue. He's bold, brave and sometimes
impulsive. Disciplined, faithfully follows the regulations, but he
distinguishes the treatment given to humans and foreigners. From a traditional
Catholic family, he is a conservative man and opposed to the influences of
Alimianism practiced in the Solar System
since the beginning of Scorpio immigration, however expansionism has encouraged
him to tolerate since they are allies. At the age of thirty he is married to a
Martian named Danielen and the father of
a daughter who was born during his stay at Horizons. Alan spends most of his
time in space as well as other steroauts which makes it difficult to watch his
daughter grow and a relationship with his wife thinking about divorce and
return to live permanently in Mare where a separatist movement has been
emerging.
3. Lieutenant Commander Marcos Ambrose Tetra
Marcos
Ambrose Tetra is the chief engineer officer of the Horizons spacecraft. He
coordinates her maintenance and upgrade activities. He specializes in bussard
jet propulsion system and antimatter-fired hyperspace reactors. He was born in a peasant village
in southern Germany where he learned to repair agricultural machinery for his
neighbors and fly small aircraft such as old cars and airplanes. He
studied stelenautical engineering and as an engineer became an
officer of the Space Armada linked to the Space Exploration Consortium. She's
fifty-eight, 30 of her. It's sisudo. He likes to have control over
subordinates. It can design and build varied equipment in a short time.
4. Lieutenant Commander Elizandro Manuel Pontes
Pilot
or helmsman of the ship Horizontes born in Brazil. He also performs the same
functions in planesing missions with
service ships. Before joining, he played professionally for Mount Olympus,
which competes in the first division of the Martian Championship and the Zeus
Cup, but his fortune dissipated by his ostentation with women, parties,
paternity proceedings, drugs and smuggling which caused him to be expelled from
football. He then began to fly freighters on the Sol-Próxima Centauri route
until he joined the Consortium Armada. She
studied space and specialized in the study of the Zark Navy
emphasizing the supercruisers and her attack probes.
5. Lieutenant Commander Carla Janaina Rodrigues
Carla
spent her childhood and adolescence almost entirely accompanying her parents on
interstellar expeditions focused on exobiology
and medicine. They were responsible for cataloguing and defining
treatments for various extraterrestrial diseases that infected humans.
Supported by the Consortium concerned with human contamination by [5]extrasolar
epidemics, they employed a longexpedition through the galaxy so that the
daughter was able to know many cultures always within the human centrism. [6]Recently
formed, after the first Martian separatist uprising, Dr. Rodrigues joined the
stine medical division of the Armada. In
it, he developed an interest in bioengineering and cybernetics, managing to
create and improve in a few years varied bionic prostheses. He became part of
the Crew of Horizontes during the military eviction of the Consortium in Scorpiae..
She's the ship's medical officer and
exobiologist. Their tasks are aimed at saving the lives of diverse species. She
acts at the same time as a researcher. Sensitive, occasionally emotional,
observant and attentive to people close to, has its rationality is intertwined
with emotions. She has a teenage son living with her grandparents since she is
divorced and her father is in another system as well.
The doctor was already involved in a
conflict with native Scorpio when she took care of the case of a child whose
disease was incurable by local medicine. Neglecting the religious traditions of
Alimianism and the rules of local priest
leaders that prohibit accepting medical care from foreigners, in these human
cases, Carla saved the patient. This earned him conflicts in Horizons with Ender
Shin and Thirty,but they
disregarded a court martial and forgave her.
6th Ten-Cmdt. Gilead
He's the horizons security officer. He is
a Scorpio and was rescued by officers of the Consortium Navy in the last great
civil war of twenty-five years ago. His family is reluctant to take him back,
as he chose to serve in the Armada.
8. Dr. Elisabete Tanis
Xeno-anthropologist focused on the
research of interstellar civilizations and
pre-jump critical to the
Consortium. It uses approaches as participant observation to structuralism. She's a lesbian.
9. Patriarch Eliade.
For fifty years Patriarch Eliade has been
bridging the gap between the Scorpio and the occupying forces. He is one of the
leading priests of the Alimianist Religion..
They received them in the temple and lived with them ensuring that the
people obeyed the established laws of the outside, such as the disintegration
of central imperial unity and the maintenance of religious services according
to tradition. He became a friend and a guide of Scorpio culture to Ender
Shin during the period of service on the planet. Eliade leads the
assembly of the "Priests of Light" that legislates and regulates the
life of the population. He is a scholar of the Tribe of Lumites
and a member of the Judges' clan. His position within the tribe that
administers the functions of the temple enabled him the privilege of the
"ecclesiastical passport" to travel to any planetary system without
relying on the tribal delegations led by an imperial agent before the fall of
the monarchy and at the time a foreign commercial chosen by the Solar
Consortium and the Confederation of Associated Moons of Cinder. He is a scholar
in philosophy and theology, being the author of "The Age of Atonement:
perspectives for the consummation of the universe and the return to the Creator."
8. General Caleb Altair Kalar
Caleb Altair Caleb etho has been the
prince of the last dynasty of the Scorpio empire for fifty years. He has led
the Warrior clan since the emperor's deposition and condemnation. He went into
quand during the five decades of occupation until returning to Scorpiae. It recognizes the authority of the
Interstellar League's occupying forces from Eliade's intermediation, but puts
itself in a position opposed to it.
Kalar coordinates planetary
resistance against the human military presence and the influence of the Solar
Consortium. He advocates a traditional
current of Alimianism that divides society into steps analogous to
working classes and linked to the hereditary origin of the male leader of the
family. He blames humans for the current conditions of his world and the fall
of the monarchy. He's been trying to get allies and finance the resistance.
Caleb is a melancholy Scorpio, because his
society has changed and he cannot accept it. He lost his family whose parents
were convicted and executed by the League. From them he learned to follow
Alimianism whose religious idea says
that Scorpio descend from the angels expelled from paradise. He lives this
belief and wants the native population to return to traditional ways of life according
to the sacred texts. He is one of Eliade's former students being profoundly
knowledgeable and influenced by the works of theology and philosophy dealing
with resignation and the hope of refinding God who will re-establish the
Scorpio as the promoters of the universe. Interpreting religious narratives in
his own way, Caleb believes he has found a way to anticipate the encounter in
order to re-establish the powers of accusing angels, regroup the Creative
Protection Army, and cast them against the galaxy's infidels, focusing at first
against the humans occupying Scorpiae
and the Interstellar League supporting the occupation. Caleb wants to
restore pre-occupation society, recognizes the suffering of his people and
performs extreme actions so until the moment he is allied with Zark..
He found in the Zark Empire a potential
ally due to cultural connections such as "universalism" being the
recast ideology and religion of Alimianism according to the belief and
narrative of a dead and resurrected galactic messiah. He was converted and
became a New Yeshuan after an attack coordinated by his resistance
against the Sirius Treaty convention held at
Quand. Serving the empire, he assisted in the process of expansion
invading planets with pre-industrial technical cultures and in the
implementation of new technologies based on
quandian knowledge of the time studied in that world. His achievements
secured him the concession by the Supreme Priest of the Universe (the Pope) of
planetary systems in the Gibraltar sector and the recognition of the divine
right to rule Scorpiae and promote the
yeshuanization of the peoples of the
Sírius Sector.. Kalar is a good strategist both in the military,
political and religious fields. He is resolute and impassive, so he seeks
advice from priest Lariel. This
summarizes some features of the character.
Solar Consortium spacecraft
1. Hyperspace Access Vehicle - Antimatter Jet
Rocket (VAH-FJMA) 01 - Horizons
The first class of stofae built for the
Solar System Space Exploration Consortium (CEESS). It is sectioned into three
functional parts. It has a mixed propulsion system. Four Bussard-type jet
thrusters propel the nearly nine
hundred-meter-long interstellar spacecraft, reaching 99 percent of the speed of
light. An antimatter-driven supernova reactor generates the negative energy needed
for interstellar jumping after a 12-hour cosmic ride. Designed to be
self-sufficient, the ship uses four collectors to collect from hydrogen sources
to small meteorites that are stored for consumption and then become high-speed
ejected plasma by the nacelles. Three modules make up the spacecraft. The first
analogue to the design of a submarine has the bridge of command, lodgings,
laboratories and four hangars with lateral and ventable accesses. There are
four sinks and ten multifunctional silos. In the second, there are four berths
with compartible mooring rings with several ships and stations,
auxiliary thrusters and the engineering control room. In the third, the supernova reactor,the antimatter storage
rings and internal deuterium/tritium tanks. In it, there are the four
equidistant arranged wings, forming a cross, at whose ends there are the jet
thrusters and the first fuel tanks. Dissipation cannons placed on bussard collectors
remove electrically charged atoms and other obstacles during flights.
Two hundred and forty crew members divided for work in three eight-hour shifts.
The Interstellar League classifies the class of this spacecraft as Project-01.
