Sum Total

Holism's backup ship

Holism's support vessel uses its large shuttles and module dock to move willing colonists off the planet efficiently.

Story so far

Sum Total arrives with Holism as part of the long-delayed university reinforcement for ART and the lost-colony rescue. It brings the capacity the stranded research transport lacked while Barish-Estranza controlled the surrounding space.

Seven days after the polar mission, Sum Total coordinates two large shuttles evacuating members of Bellagaia's faction. It alternates offloading people to Holism and its own module dock to save time, while the armed Preservation responder escorts the operation. Its work turns abstract resettlement plans into an active, voluntary departure from the contaminated world.

Appearance

A university support ship with a module dock and at least two large-capacity shuttles; no further hull, color, or marking details are established.
