The Excelsior
The Cruiser of the New Space Era
While the first Gaïa ship was based on a modular assembly of containers, the Excelsior marks the advent of atomic construction.
With an impressive length of 3,650 meters, a width of 1,250 meters, and a height exceeding 680 meters, the Excelsior imposes its majestic silhouette in the solar system. Its design favors harmonious curves and single-block structures, without visible welds or screws, thanks to its unprecedented manufacturing process using a giant Gravitational Wave Atomic Printer located on the Moon.
A Technological Jewel
The Excelsior is propelled by four massive reactors using xenon ionization, giving its engines a striking blue visual signature. But its true feat lies in its ability to generate transgravitational portals.
Life Onboard: Symbiosis Between Human and AI
The cruiser can accommodate a crew of several hundred members, divided into three eight-hour shifts to ensure continuous operation.
Artificial Intelligence: The ship is ultimately piloted by the AI Zara, which interacts with the crew via mobile modules circulating on rails fixed to the ceilings of each corridor.
Total Connectivity: Every crew member has a virtualized biometric mobile device, allowing them to control the ship’s systems and communicate instantly through an interface managed by the AI.
Defensive Armament: For its protection, the Excelsior is equipped with gravitational shields capable of repelling space debris and powerful magnetic acceleration cannons capable of firing osmium projectiles at devastating speeds.
