- Incredibly complex genetic data matrix left by Shedai genetic engineering prior to the collapse of their nation (VAN Novel: Harbinger)
- Consisting of three trillion non-coding base pairs designed to be self-correcting against random mutation (VAN Novel: Summon the Thunder)
- Three million by text, but considering that genomes of relatively simple organisms with 100+ billion base-pairs are known today, this size would not be as outrageous on its own as presented
