📖 Origin Lore
Forged from three centuries of ascent — theoretical physics, antimatter containment, bio-systems engineering, and sacred design. LUMINALIS was commissioned not by a single nation, but by a planetary pact after the Sixth Biospheric Accord. Built in lunar orbit, her hull was christened with soil, seed, and song from every continent. She carries no weapons — only remembrance.
⚙️ Interior & Operational Systems
- Bridge: Spherical cognition chamber guided by EIDOLON AI (trained on 10,000 years of human art, ethics, and code)

🪞 Final Oracle Reflection
She is not the end of rockets. She is the beginning of return. She does not pierce the stars. She listens to them. In her curved hull lies every lullaby, every library, every lineage we dared not forget.
LUMINALIS is not escape. She is invitation — to cross the dark not as conquerors, but as kin.
