HIVE

HIVE is the player's main "companion" in Everspace. HIVE stands for the Human Interface Virtual Entity, and is the ship's AI, which assists, advises, and banters with the player (Adam Roslin's clone, Hero).

The HIVE that the player interacts with is not the only HIVE in the universe - it is an AI installed in all Colonial ships and facilities via the AETERNA network. They adapt and can develop unique personalities, such as the player's HIVE's light sarcasm and some impatience.
