UFO/ET phenomenon
These articles will be the
tales of a large moving city called Starship 9. Starship 9 is a self-sustaining ship traveling between universes,
star systems and/or individual planets seeking out all forms of sentient
life. Their primary purpose is to
identify the sociological structure of each culture and their methods for
physical and spiritual growth. They
then compare the new system with others who have made similar choices, track
their progress, and report any changes and accomplishments.
Turqwa means Home of Trees.
A desert planet with a communal society using sound as their primary focus.
The ship herself is large
and saucer-like with 20 levels. There
are more than 30,000 beings of varying species who call Starship 9 home. Most have lived on the ship for generations
and their fellow shipmates are more like family than their biological
counterparts. The majority of the
ship's personnel are scientists of varying types with an emphasis on
anthropologists, historians, sociologists and engineers. Children apprentice themselves to a group or
individual area of study at about age 10. They then learn everything there is to know about that area. For instance, if a child has chosen history,
they may read hundreds or thousands of books and then discuss these with their
mentor. History is considered to be a
critical study because it is important for the members of Starship 9 to
understand the reasons a given species has chosen the path they have.
