USS Arvida

Yet another attempt at depicting a human-Brikar hybrid (which is next to impossible), this is the shipgirl AI of USS Arvida, named after a former aluminum-smelting town which now forms part of the mega-city of Saguenay in east-central Québec. Of course, she just noticed people approaching her on a nature walk through the forest not far from where her Earth home is, so she's happy to offer some of the fresh fish she just caught. In this, she honours her namesake town's actual namesake, the Massachussite industrialist and philanthropist Arthur Vining Davis (1867-1962), whose name would be familiar to any fan of the American Public Broadcasting System network; his namesake foundation has sponsored all sorts of production for that particular television network. And note the first two letters of each name: AR-VI-DA. Looks familiar, doesn't it? Arvida naturally perpetuates a Flower-class corvette of the Royal Canadian Navy which served in World War Two. Like many of her sisters, Arvida was first created as the synthetic "soul" of a Sabre-class frigate, which was commissioned in 2361 over her namesake hometown in the standard "atmospheric entry pattern" ceremony long perfected by Port Weller girls. She served through the Dominion War, then got her hull replaced three years after the Treaty of Bajor was signed. That hull lasted for twenty years until it was declared obsolete, then she went to Luna Orionis to await her new Da Vinci-class destroyer hull. Of course, the Borg and rogue Changelings came to ruin the day, so she had to fast-activate her new hull to help out. She serves to this day.
