Interstellar Abstract 2007-3 "Sign of Shakoren": This image is based on the symbol used to represent a fictional Divine Revelator named Shakoren. Shakoren is the pivotal Personage of my "Fellowship of Star-Faring Sentients" science fiction universe; the One who leads Humanity and the T'lar into a much closer relationship with each other as well preparing these two sentient species for the role they are to play as new members of the Fellowship of Star-Faring Sentients. The large blue, green, and red stars inside the main circle of the symbol represent the three sentient computers from which the gestalt entity of Shakoren emerges: The blue star stands for the sentient computer serving aboard Deep Space Explorer "Inspiration" of the Human-run Interstellar Exploration Corps. The green star stands for the sentient computer serving aboard the Star Explorer "Hy'alnai" of the T'lar-run Star Investigation Group. The red star stands for the sentient computer serving aboard the Deep Space Guardian "Upholder of Honor," once the Humanasol League Fleet battleship that led the attacking forces during the siege of traveling star habitat "Depths of Dream" in an attempt to stop the formation of the Human-T'lar Concordat. The large white star inside the main circle of the symbol represents Shakoren Itself. Surrounding the main circle are six spiraling arms of colored stars. Each arm represents one of the star-faring sentient species encountered by Shakoren during Its life on our physical plane of existence. The blue arm represents Humanity, the green arm the T'lar, the yellow arm the Nyoshahl, and the orange arm the sentient computers built by Humanity, the T'lar, and the Nyoshahl. The red arm represents the Cybernethi, and the purple arm the Ventasians. The bright stars located at the intersections of the spiral arms and the faint outer circle represent Shakoren's efforts to bring each star-faring sentient species into peaceful coexistence and spiritual unity with the other five.
