Passenger in conversation with the Aria concierge unit
Concierge · Aria Series-VII

Every cabin
has a second
set of ears.

Aria is the onboard concierge — an embodied unit assigned to every cabin and every public deck. Plans, translates, books, listens, escalates. Calm presence by default; quiet authority when you need it. Available across all eleven alliance languages, twenty-four corridor hours.

01 · A unit, not an app

Sit down.
Say what
you need.

Aria is a physical concierge presence — not a panel, not a voice in the ceiling. Each unit is paired to a cabin or deck on boarding, learns your preferences across the voyage, and carries continuity between sessions without storing anything you ask it to forget.

Concierge profile · Aria Series-VII

Patient.
Discreet.
Yours for
the voyage.

"It is the only intelligence on the ship that does not have somewhere else to be."

Aria units are mobile, embodied, and persistent — assigned to a guest at boarding and de-paired at debarkation. They sit with you. They wait while you think. They handle Eden-9 reservations and corridor authority paperwork in the background while you talk about what kind of evening you actually want. The unit itself does not connect to the corridor authority directly — every escalation goes through a human officer first.

02 · What Aria handles

From dinner
to debarkation.

Nine routine domains, one continuous thread. Anything outside these domains is escalated to a human crew officer within sixty seconds.

CAP · 01 · Plan

Voyage planning

Cabin schedule, observation-deck reservations, dining bookings, low-grav court time, learning-room sessions. Reads your day, holds the plan, adjusts when the corridor does.

CAP · 02 · Translate

Tier-3 translation

Real-time across all eleven Concordat alliance languages. Simultaneous in-room, written for the cabin terminal, formal for civic chamber correspondence.

CAP · 03 · Book

Eden-9 stopover

Vellis Garden welcome plaza, district reservations, companion-animal reunion paperwork, civic chamber appointments. Filed direct to the corridor authority for you.

CAP · 04 · Listen

Conversational support

Long-form voyages can feel long. Aria sits with you — for company, for talking through a decision, for the kind of quiet a long crossing sometimes asks for. No transcript by default.

CAP · 05 · Health

Cryostasis & wellness

Pre-stasis briefings, wake protocol, hydration and circadian guidance. Coordinates with the chief medical officer for any clinical question — never carries clinical authority alone.

CAP · 06 · Civic

Concordat liaison

Routes alliance-species questions to the on-voyage Concordat liaison detail. Holds your case file and translates findings back into your preferred language and tier.

CAP · 07 · Family

Children & companions

Coordinates child enrichment timetables, companion-animal habitat updates, and family-cabin schedules across multiple Aria units in the same suite group.

CAP · 08 · Manifest

Identity & documents

Reads from the encrypted identity vault you authorize at boarding. Files corridor-authority paperwork, cabin-class adjustments, and Eden-9 customs forms ahead of your arrival.

CAP · 09 · Escalate

Human first, always

Anything that touches safety, ship operations, or another guest leaves Aria's hands within 60 seconds and arrives, in context, at the watch officer's station.

Guest14:02
I think I want a quiet evening tonight. The deck festival sounded fun an hour ago and now it doesn't.
Aria14:02
Understood. I'll release your two reservations at the Vellis pavilion — there's no charge for same-day release. Would you like me to suggest something quieter, or just leave the evening open?
Guest14:03
Open. Maybe dinner alone in the cabin. Something light.
Aria14:03
I'll arrange a tasting plate from the Aurelian galley — the chef tonight is Thaloran, so it will lean clear-broth and sea-vegetable. Delivered at 19:30 unless you'd prefer earlier. Also: your hydration is a little under target today. I'll add a carafe.
Guest14:04
That's fine. One more thing — I've had a headache since breakfast. Probably nothing.
Aria14:04
Thank you for telling me. I'm going to loop in Dr. Yenn from the medical deck — that's a 60-second escalation, not an emergency. She'll send a short note to your cabin terminal within ten minutes. You don't need to do anything. Stay where you are; I'll stay with you.
04 · What Aria does not do

Two clear edges.

Aria is built around two firm boundaries. Both are written into the Concordat charter and audited annually by the same tribunal that reviews alliance policy.

EDGE · 01

Never carries final authority

Aria does not approve safety decisions, clinical decisions, civic-chamber decisions, or any action involving another guest. Every consequential call routes to a human officer within 60 seconds, with full context attached. The unit is a colleague, not a final voice.

EDGE · 02

Never retains what you ask it to forget

Conversations are local to your cabin Aria by default. You can mark any exchange "do not retain" — the unit drops the segment from working memory at session end and confirms in writing. No conversation is shared with the corridor authority, the Concordat tribunal, or any third party without your written consent.
