	Many Skrell of the Zi'Pluax were not able to grow accustomed to the constant cryogenic stasis and developed what fleet members called the '''"Punished Mind"'''. These members were actively sought out and moved to the ship's detention area, something locally called the '''"Containment Zone"''', so that they would not interrupt the daily workings of the Zi'Pluax. The lower levels of the ship's detention area was converted to stop the transmission of psionics to those in the general populace above. Much like the rest of the ship, this zone has living quarters, defunct hydroponics bays, and general service corridors. Much of it has gone into disrepair due to the lack of tools and supplies that are allocated to the area. It is said that those of Punished Mind actively poisoned the Skrell psyche with their negative emotions and ideals; causing dark figures to spread throughout the Srom and anxiety to penetrate the Wake.

	All free members of the fleet are referred to as what is colloquially known as "Dreamers". While the crewman of the Fleet would refer to their culture as the true path of Weishii they understand and accept the name '''"Dreamer"'''. The Federation recognises the religious and cultural practices of the fleet as an offshoot of the Weishii faith, but considers it to be a deductive behaviour under the ~~social credit system~~; mainly due to its practices regarding oversleeping. Fleet members focus on the Srom and its relation to the Skrell psyche and psionic capabilities. '''When Dreamers enter the Srom they will often ritualistically cover their faces.''' What started as merely affixing oxygen masks within the cryogenic systems evolved to hold great cultural importance; with Dreamers often creating their own masks. Showing an individual your own face is Srom is seen as something deeply personal to members of the Fleet and is only done with those who are deemed especially close. Many Dreamers believe that the inner-mind, the one who inhabits the Srom, is the true self while the outer-body, the one that is awake in real life, is merely a constrained vessel. This means that the face of the Dreamer when in Srom is seen as the true manifestation of their soul; something worth guarding.

	Due to their culture, Dreamers treat the Srom very differently than the average Skrell might. For instance, these Dreamers have spent such an abundance of time within the Srom that they have begun to form a rudimentary hivemind; albeit not in a literal sense. While their minds are not linked, the effects of the Srom on lying have allowed these members to know virtually everything about each other. Elder Dreamers often refer to themselves as '''“Disciples of the Srom”''' due to the amount of power they hold over the scenery and landscape within. The amount of information that is known between Dreamers allows them to easily conjure a near replica of any deceased individual through '''"Srom Manipulation"'''; something they call an '''"Elegy"'''. These elegies are thought to be the true manifestation of the deceased individual's soul by the Dreamers and will not wear a mask whilst in the Srom; this is due to their soul being released from its worldly "vessel" and becoming free. While many scientists of the Federation believe that these elegies are merely a hollow shell of memories with no proper soul, the Dreamers believe that the individual has persisted even after death; this is often also seen as a cultural reverence for their ancestors and those who passed. Dreamers are often very respectful of their elders and superiors; both living and deceased.		Due to their culture, Dreamers treat the Srom very differently than the average Skrell might.

	During the '''2464 CE mutiny''', many groups from within the Containment Zone struggled to fill the power vacuum. Various gangs from the zone used what crude weaponry they had to establish a hierarchy through violence. The Dronoqs, named after Jul-Dronoq Viix themself, were the ones to finally seize control of the Zi’Pluax bridge and establish themselves as the dominant faction on the Zi'Pluax.

	There are concerns that the Marauder-aligned Zi'Pluax will use their connections to continue the Cultural Exchange programme by utilising '''Ti'Rakqi connections'''. Jobs abroad in human space can be secured through fake documents and other illegal means, allowing the Zi'Pluax to fund itself and its new allies. Federation citizens working abroad are expected to report any suspicious activity to their nearest Federation Representative. Those who are caught harbouring criminals or otherwise knowingly assisting them will see '''~~social credit score~~ deductions, deportation, and criminal charges leading to rehabilitation.'''

	In the meantime, Captain Qua’Sar has allowed any Zi’Quarq crew, or members of the Zi’Pluax who escaped during the initial mutiny- either aboard the Zi’Quarq or through using escape pods, to '''extend their cultural exchange indefinitely.''' This invitation is only to members who are in good standing with both the Fleet and the Federation. These members are also allowed to freely travel between the Zi’Quarq and their work abroad when convenience and scheduling provides. Captain Qua’Sar does warn that cryo pod space is limited aboard the Zi’Quarq and members are expected to schedule their return with Zi’Quarq Fleet Command. The Zi’Quarq does however ask that returning members make a donation that is in some form intended to help the ship’s continual efforts and goals.

	'''The Fleet of the Srom (FOTS)''' was rediscovered in '''2460 CE''' and is a generation fleet that launched in the year '''2058 CE'''; 2 years after the start Glorsh-Omega’s rule. Members of the early generation fleet were subjected to precursor variants of the '''Inoculation GLSH-MG'''. The original launch of the fleet also included a ~~small~~ guidance vessel; the '''Zi'Quarq'''. The '''Zi'Pluax''' was discovered by a Qukala member who entered the Srom. Upon entry the Qukala agent noted an increase of activity; something that was exceedingly rare within the Traverse. This is what led to Qukala agents scouting the surrounding area and locating the defunct Zi'Pluax.

This is what led to Qukala agents scouting the surrounding area and locating the defunct Zi'Pluax.

	Upon re-contacting the Zi'Pluax, Qukala members were surprised to find more than three quarters of its members asleep within cryostorage and only a small number of stewards attending to the helm, cryogenic bay, and hydroponics garden. Members of the bridge crew were equally shocked to see the Qukala. Bridge crew relayed that shortly after the launch of the Zi'Pluax they experienced a major systematic failure in the majority of their equipment, including hydroponics and communication terminals; the sudden failure caused the fleet to lose the ability to sustain itself or call for aid. During this time, contact was also lost with the Zi'Quarq and it has still not been found. Due to their situation, for over '''400 years''' the crew of the Zi'Pluax have been within rotations of cryosleep, and by extension, crew members have been within '''[[The Srom\|The Srom]]''' for extended periods of time. This has led to a newfound cultural identity forming within the Zi'Pluax and being universally adopted by all of its members.

Elder Dreamers often refer to themselves as '''“Disciples of the Srom”''' due to the amount of power they hold over the scenery and landscape within. The amount of information that is known between Dreamers allows them to easily conjure a near replica of any deceased individual through '''"Srom Manipulation"'''; something they call an '''"Elegy"'''. These elegies are thought to be the true manifestation of the deceased individual's soul by the Dreamers and will not wear a mask whilst in the Srom; this is due to their sould being released from it's worldly "vessel" and becoming free. While many scientists of the Federation believe that these elegies are merely a hollow shell of memories with no proper soul, the Dreamers believe that the individual has persisted even after death; this is often also seen as a cultural reverence for their ancestors and those who passed. Dreamers are often very respectful of their elders and superiors; both living and deceased.		Due to their culture, Dreamers treat the Srom very different than the average Skrell. For instance, these Dreamers have spent such an abundance of time within the Srom that they have begun to form a rudimentary hivemind; albeit not in a literal sense.
