The Calibration Society is an elite body of "priests of mathematics" who calculate the standardized time necessary for interstellar navigation, wielding the power to cripple entire planetary economies or halt wars by withholding this critical data. As the ultimate auditors for the Assembly, they utilize augmented minds to perceive the universe as fractals of data, ensuring that "Ael" species can safely navigate the varying time structures and gravitational "habits" of different solar systems.
