A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter VI
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a slim and slender space-craft winked into being--a member of Kim's squadron, just arrived. Within a fraction of an instant it was plunging furiously for the Sinabian monster. The _Starshine_ also flung itself into head-long attack, though it was unarmed save for projectors of a field that would not kill anyone. The other ships--and more, as they appeared--darted valorously for the giants. Meteor-repellers lashed out automatically.
