Program Canaan
A group of systems that searches for people with special factors.
The general term for a group of systems that searches for people with the
special "factors" necessary to become a Testament, suitable for a Vessel of
Anima. Its basic outline was devised by Vector.
During the dawn of Realian development, it was installed in a very small number
of units and integrated into their basic brain-stem systems. Regardless of
their own will, Realians who have been installed with this program have the
role of judging suitable people and helping them awaken their abilities.
Although these Realians are few in number, that is simply relative to the total
number of Realians that have been produced, especially taking into
consideration that they were meant to be deployed across the entire galaxy.
Development was conducted under top secret conditions within Vector; only a
limited number of top executives knew of its existence.
Realians with Program Canaan implants are recovered by Vector after they have
fulfilled their given role. By the mid-T.C. 4700s, over 99% of them had
completed their given task; however, "Canaan," who has another role, is
reportedly still deployed somewhere in the galaxy.
The data collected by one Canaan is immediately uploaded to Vector's database and automatically distributed to other Canaans. Certain types of data, however, have a barrier placed on them controlling their distribution.
