Sahara

= Sahara = Sahara is a ship and artificial intelligence. It can be confusing to hear "Sahara" and wonder if it refers to the ship or the AI itself, but really they're both the same. The ship was christened Sahara by Riley, and the AI that developed onboard has taken the same name.

For more details of either of these entities specifically, see Sahara (Ship) (for spaceship specs) and Sahara (AI) (for more sentient-like stuff).

Personality

 * Generally flat, though as time on she has learned the "value of expression".
 * Her 'sassy' personality is apparent when correcting the crew, though the only time she might show anger is when actions may put the ship into danger.
 * Sahara can also be strangely shy. She genuinely cares about what her "companions" as she puts it, think about her.

So is she an AI? An anthro?
She's a ship. A sentient AI space ship.

Think of it like this. The ship is her body and the AI/software is her brain. You're not called a "brain"... you're called a human because of your body and all your personality stuff.

If Sahara's software were to be removed from her hardware, her entire identity and personality would change.
