APERTOR
THE SOLUM
An ancient, sentient, long-range research vessel. She is a character, not just a setting.
Ship specifications: SOL-001 in the Solum Archives
The Solum collection →01 What is the Solum?
Captain Apertor commands the Solum, an ancient research vessel. Each expedition is transmitted live, and the Crew can take part in the ship's discoveries.
MEET PHASE PHS-3A
Phase is the Solum's synthetic Multi-Purpose Support Unit: a physical companion unit discovered aboard the ship. He is not the ship.
Phase collection →THE CREW
Watching makes you part of the expedition. Following a channel doesn't make you Crew. Your Crew Record starts with your first Crew Survey on Twitch (!survey). Joining Discord or buying merch does not create a Crew Record.

08 CREW SURVEYS
The Solum was built to study the worlds it encounters, not merely pass through them. Crew surveys examine environments, signals, samples and anomalies, adding observations to the ship's continuing research record.
How Crew Records begin
Following a channel doesn't make you Crew. Your Crew Record starts with your first Crew Survey on Twitch, whatever its outcome. A catastrophic failure returns no survey data, but it still starts your Crew Record.
