Terran Wall

The Terran Wall is a massive war memorial residing in Main Hangar No. 1 of the Terra. It lists on its wall, the names of every serviceman and woman that died protecting humanity during the Entity War. It is the result of a massive undertaking by Gaia, harvesting all enlistment archives across all countries and merging the KIA/MIA lists to create the Terran Wall, a process that took nearly a decade to accurately identify and gather all relevant materials.

This was done in secret, and the monument was created and released into international human space in the year 34 AX, during the Enduring Quiet.

The Wall is actually a collection of walls, taking up much of the floor area of Main Hangar No. 1. There are 10 variable-length walls, made of black granite, at 2.75 meters in width, and 3 meters in height. They run diagonally, from fore starboard to aft port, with 2-meter-high openings every 50 meters to pass between walls. They represent, on each slab, the number of servicemen who died during each period of the war. As such, their names are organized chronologically and by event.

The etched names are centered as columns .5 a meter from the next, with the space in between a collage of holograms of associated with the names on either side, generated from subtly hidden holojectors from within the granite.

The longest wall runs almost the complete diagonal length of the rectangular Hangar, a staggering 1.4 kilometers of the 1.6.

It is a unique memorial in that those who visit may add to the memorial, providing pictures of the deceased, letters written back and forth, videos, memories, all such information may be submitted to the Archives for inspection then publishing onto the Wall.

As such, the Wall is an uncommonly colorful place. The collages are filled with submitted pictures and videos, letters and correspondences. Furthermore, the entire ships itself has been refitted as a biosphere. The 10 decks are entirely refitted to become one massive internal chamber filled with an earthen layer approximately 400 feet deep, and an entirely active ecosystem in place. It is monitored by innumerable nanomachines that help maintain all vital elements of life on the Terra.
