When the Zariman was found adrift, the Orokin did everything they could to erase their mistakes. Transit recordings, personnel logs... everything was wiped out. The only thing they kept was... you.

—Lotus to the Operator during The War Within

The Zariman Ten Zero was an Orokin colony ship that disappeared into the Void when a Void-Jump Accident occurred. After the incident, its survivors received mysterious powers from the Void and later became the Tenno that control the Warframes and fight for the Origin System.

Following the events of The New War and Angels of the Zariman, the Zariman appeared back into real space without warning, stuck between realities. A song coming from aboard the ship called out to the inhabitants of the Origin System and both Grineer and Corpus immediately attempted to gain control of the legendary vessel. It soon became a top priority for the Tenno to reclaim their home, the birthplace of all their power and misery. There, The Holdfasts, survivors who have been sustained by the mysterious powers of the Void, work to prevent the Zariman from falling into the wrong hands.

It was introduced as a location in Update 31.5 (2022-04-27). Permanent access to the Zariman Ten Zero is gained after completion of the Angels of the Zariman quest. It uses a unique tileset.

Bounties

Main article: Bounty § Chrysalith Bounties (Zariman Ten Zero) (edit)

Come on. Plenty need seeing to.

—Quinn

Before a Tenno can access Chrysalith bounties, they must first prove themselves to Quinn by completing the Angels of the Zariman quest.

Mission Bounties

Mission Bounties accessible from Quinn inside the Chrysalith on the Zariman Ten Zero. These bounties refresh every 2½ hours.

Upon accepting a bounty, it may be started via Fast Travel as follows: open Main Menu (default: Esc ) > FAST TRAVEL > ZARIMAN NAVIGATION. Alternatively, to access by foot - a portal will spawn behind Quinn that teleports to the Chrysalith elevator that will take the player to the bounty mission.

Unlike Landscape bounties, the Chrysalith's bounties consists of completing standard Zariman Ten Zero missions (Exterminate, Mobile Defense, Void Cascade, Void Flood, and Void Armageddon) with an additional mandatory bounty objective, with the rewards given on end of mission. These bounties do not occur in stages and there is no bonus objective, thus the entire drop table is only rolled once. Endless missions will still give their rotation rewards but will immediately end and prompt extraction once all relevant objectives are completed.

Note that an extraction will not be available until both the regular mission objective and the bounty objective have been achieved. For this reason Voidplume collection (via Syndicate Medallions as well as Void Angels and Zarium Accolades that do not pertain to the objective) should not take priority until after both the mission and bounty objectives are completed, as failing either will cause the whole bounty mission to fail, and thus lead to a forfeiture of all collected rewards, including Voidplumes.

There are five bounty tiers available on the Zariman. Increasing tiers will have an increasing starting enemy level, a different and more challenging pool of possible bounty objectives, and a different pool of possible rewards. To summarise:

Bounty Tier(s)	Starting Enemy Levels	Rewards
Tier 1	50-55	1x  Voidplume Quills + Tier 1 rewards
Tier 2	60-65	2x  Voidplume Quills + Tier 2 rewards
Tier 3	70-75	3x  Voidplume Quills + Tier 3 rewards
Tier 4	90-95	4x  Voidplume Quills + Tier 4 rewards
Tier 5	110-115	5x  Voidplume Quills + Tier 5 rewards

Unlike in other locations, each of the current Chrysalith bounties has their own Steel Path variant available by switching to the Steel Path difficulty tab on the bounty screen. Steel Path bounties provide 150% of Voidplume bounty rewards rounded up and 1 Steel Essence upon completion, but allow Acolytes to appear.

Missing details

Here are the details for all the possible known Chrysalith bounties. Note that bounty objective is always mandatory and not achieving it means that while there will be progress, there will be no other rewards from the bounty mission. Where an objective varies between tiers, the relevant tiers are specified in the parentheses. E.g. Find and activate 1 (T1-3) / 2 (T4-5) Lohk Surges denotes that Tiers 1, 2, 3 will require activating 1 Lohk Surge to achieve the objective, while Tiers 4 and 5 will require activating 2.

View Chrysalith Bounty Missions List▾▾

Zariman Mission Type	Bounty Tier(s)	Bounty Name	Bounty Objective	Bounty Description	Community Notes
All	Tier 3-5	WAKE AND BANISH	Awaken a Dormant Void Angel and Defeat it	Dormant Void Angels are too dangerous to be left alone. Wake one and destroy it.	The Dormant Void Angel is a unique (one per bounty mission, even an endless one) interactable stationary object that during this bounty will be marked with a special globally-visible yellow objective in-world icon in the HUD at the beginning of the mission. When you are ready for a combat encounter with it - approach and interact with it (default: X ). This bounty is a good way to farm  Voidplume Pinion, since one is a guaranteed drop from a defeated Dormant Void Angel, while outside of this bounty Dormant Void Angels are not marked with an objective icon, making them much harder to find.
All		?	Collect ? (T?) Credits	?
All	All	BOOST MELICA'S MORALE	Find A Zarium Accolade And Take It To Melica	We can't let Cephalon Melica become unstable. She wants to teach, so play along.	Extraction is disabled until an Accolade has been handed in to Melica. Melica is only marked on the minmap/HUD with an objective icon when within 100 metres of it, while Accolades are not marked on the HUD with an objective icon (although they are marked on the minimap as resource pickups with Loot Radar mods), making aborting the mission the only option if either Melica or an Accolade cannot be found while exploring the map.
All	All	ASSAULT THE GRINEER / REPEL THE CORPUS	Kill 100 (T1-2) / 150 (T3) / 200 (T4) / 250 (T5) Enemies	Grineer variant: The Worm Queen has limited troop numbers. Show her attacking us was a mistake. Corpus variant: Granum's plunderers have had the run of this ship for long enough. Punish them.
All	All	STEAL NEW STRENGTH	Find and activate 1 (T1-3) / 2 (T4-5) Lohk Surges	We can't pass up any opportunity to draw helpful power from the Void.	Lohk Surges are interactable stationary objects that during this bounty will be marked with a special globally-visible yellow objective in-world icons in the HUD at the beginning of the mission. To complete the bounty objective - approach and interact with them (default: X ). Bug: sometimes the Surges and their icons will not spawn at the beginning of the mission, making aborting the mission the only option to get out of the mission.
All	All	WORK WITHOUT WARFRAMES	Kill 10 (T1-2) / 20 (T3) / 30 (T4) / 40 (T5) Enemies as Operator	We can't become too dependent on your Warframes. Prove you can cope without.	Only the killing blow must be dealt by the Operator, thus tougher enemies can first be weakened with Warframe weapons before switching to the Operator and finishing them off. It is best to complete the bounty objective early, since there is a limited number of enemies in non-endless missions that will make aborting the mission the only option should all enemies be killed before this objective has been completed, while in endless missions enemy levels will increase slowly as the mission progresses, making it progressively harder to complete this objective later on in the mission.
All	Tier 4-5	WEAPONS ONLY EXTERMINATION* *Despite the bounty name, this bounty is also found on mission types other than Exterminate.	Complete Mission Without Abilities	We can't become reliant on your impressive abilities. Prove you can do without.	Warframe abilities 1 -4  are disabled for the duration of the whole mission as if under Nullifier field, however Operator (Warframe ability 5 ) and their Focus abilities can still be used. An absence of Warframe Abilities can be mitigated against by only considering Waframe Attributes, and choosing an innately tanky (e.g.  Valkyr) and/or fast (e.g.  Gauss) Warframe while disregarding their abilities, and modding the warframe appropriately for this bounty (i.e. replacing any Warframe ability-impacting Mods with mods boosting e.g. attributes, providing utility, such as Radar, or boosting Weapons characteristics with e.g.  Vigorous Swap or Category:Vigilante Mods).
Exterminate	All	EFFICIENT EXTERMINATION	Complete Mission In Under 6 Minutes	A short, sharp shock will make our enemies think again. Get it done fast.	Countdown stops when enemy kill count is reached allowing players to explore the map. Should the enemy kill count not be reached within 6 minutes - this will cause the mission to fail instantly.
Mobile Defense	Tier 1-3	DEFEND CONSOLE SHIELDS	Keep Defense Targets Shields Intact	Energy is currently limited in this sector. We can't afford to let any shields go down.	The mission will fail instantly should any of the 3 consecutive defense console shields be reduced to 0. Using defensive Warframe Abilities such as  Limbo's  Cataclysm +  Stasis or  Nova's slowing  Molecular Prime, or Operator's  Magus Lockdown can make this bounty considerably easier, however Thrax enemies will still pose a challenge as they are immune to crowd control while their Overguard is still active.
Void Armageddon	All	ACCUMULATE ARGOZENE	Collect 3 (T1-2) / 5 (T3) / 7 (T4) / 9 (T5) Argozene Canisters	We need to optimize Cavalero's Argozene deployment systems.
Void Armageddon	All	DIVERSIFY OUR ARMAMENTS	Have All Armament Types Active At Once	We need data. Check how each Armament type is performing.
Void Armageddon	All	DEVASTATE THE ANGELS	Kill 2 (T1-3) / 3 (T4-5) Void Angels	Too many Void Angels are waking up. Take some down.
Void Armageddon	Tier 4-5	PROTECT OUR EXODAMPERS	Destroy Void Angels 2 (T4) / 3 (T5) [sic], Keep Exodampers Intact	Replacing Exodampers costs valuable resources. Keep them intact.	The mission will fail instantly should an Exodamper be destroyed before the required number of Void Angels has been defeated. Note that here "intact" does not mean "without receiving any damage", i.e. the mission will not fail only because an Exodamper receives some damage. Instead the mission will only fail when an Exodamper's hit points reach 0, making this bounty similar to a conventional Mobile Defense. Using defensive Warframe Abilities such as  Limbo's  Cataclysm +  Stasis or  Nova's slowing  Molecular Prime, or Operator's  Magus Lockdown can make this bounty considerably easier.
Void Cascade	All	RIDE THE CASCADE	Use 6 (T1-2) / 8 (T3) / 10 (T4) / 12 (T5) Exolizers	This Cascade is unusually intense. We need you to stay on top of it for longer.
Void Cascade	All	MINIMIZE VOID CONTAMINATION	Use 4 (T1-2) / 5 (T3) / 7 (T4) / 9 (T5) Exolizers Keeping Meter Below 50%	The Void Flood Exolizers can't cope with the contamination levels we're seeing. Keep it low.	The mission will fail instantly should the meter rise above 50% before the required number of Exolizers have been used (in other words completed).
Void Flood	All	HARVEST VITOPLAST DROPLETS	Collect 75 (T1-2) / 100 (T3) / 200 (T4) / 300 (T5) Vitoplast	Vitoplast needs to be put to use, not left floating around.
Void Flood	All	HARVEST VITOPLAST GLOBULES	Collect 4 (T1-2) / 6 (T3) / 8 (T4) / 10 (T5) Large Vitoplast Globules	Those drifting masses of Vitoplast need gathering up, for efficiency's sake.	Globules are shown with a special cyan circle icon on the Radar. Globules dropped by Skittergirl do not count.  Titania's  Razorwing simplifies collecting floating globules.
Void Flood	Tier 2-5	REPAIR THE RUPTURES	Seal 6 (T2) / 9 (T3) / 12? (T4) / 15 (T5) Ruptures	The Albrecht Membrane can't take this kind of punishment. Prioritize Rupture sealing.
Void Flood	All	FIGHT VOID FLOOD EFFICIENTLY	Close 3 (T1-2) / 6 (T3) / 9? (T4) / 12 (T5) Ruptures And Keep Meter Below 70%	Too many ruptures lately. We can't afford to be lax on this one.	The mission will fail instantly should the meter rise above 70% before the required number of Ruptures have been closed.

Tileset Features

Main article: Zariman (Tileset) § Features (edit)

Alternating Invaders

After the Zariman Ten Zero appeared from the Void fold, Grineer troops and Corpus units descended on the derelict ship, vying for its resources. Every 150 minutes, or 2½ hours, the invading forces will switch between the Worm Queen's Kuva Grineer and Parvos Granum's Juno Corpus. The current ruling faction can be determined by the ship next to the Zariman in the foreground of the Navigation map, or by opening the overlay map while within the Chrysalith with M .

Unique Enemies

While the primary enemies of the tileset switch periodically between Kuva Grineer and Juno Corpus, there are also some new strange Void entities roaming the ship. Killing their physical forms does not destroy them completely, as they will continue to exist in a spectral form that will then try to heal itself. Similar to Vomvalysts, These cannot be destroyed by Warframes and have to be taken down by using the Operator.

• Thrax Centurion: Void manifestations that vaguely resemble Grineer, they wield  Hespars while levitating around the environment and attack with a quick flurry of slashes while in their physical form. Similar to Eximus units, it is shielded by Overguard.
• Thrax Legatus: Void manifestations that vaguely resemble Grineer, they wield deadly  Aeolaks and can create spectral copies of itself to attack while the real body vanishes temporarily. Also shielded by Overguard.
• Void Angel: Once Void Manifestations resembling the crew and colonists aboard the Zariman, the Void Angels have been fully corrupted by the Void and are no longer recognizable as human.

Voidplumes

Voidplumes are tokens shed by Void manifestations, and act as Syndicate Medallions for The Holdfasts. Every mission aboard the Zariman will have up to 11 total Voidplumes. 8 of these, like Syndicate missions, will be hidden throughout the map to be picked up.  Voidplume Downs,  Vanes, and  Crests are the only types of Voidplumes that can be obtained this way, and are worth 500 Standing 500, 1,000 Standing 1,000, and 2,000 Standing 2,000 Standing, respectively. The remaining 3 are from Melica caches and the dormant Void Angel.

Melica Caches

Cephalon Melica's kiosk where a Zarium Accolade can be turned in.

Three versions of the Zarium Accolade.

Cephalon Melica may call out for nearby students from a terminal, asking for a Zarium Accolade. Accolades are large golden key-like objects which are typically located within the tile room of the terminal. They are marked on the map when using Loot Radar mods and emit a distinct shimmering sound, similar to Resource Caches. Accolades must be manually picked up and brought to a terminal in exchange for a  Voidplume Quill, worth 2,500 Standing 2,500 Standing. Up to two Melica Caches can be found during a mission, and will also be marked on the mini-map when nearby. Each will only function for a single trade of an Accolade.

Dormant Angels

A dormant Void Angel.

Main article: Void Angel

A dormant Void Angel is a guaranteed spawn and will be found in larger rooms. While they can be mistaken as a part of the environment, they can be identified by their pose: their left arm reaching the sky and their head looking above, and sport visible wings and somewhat lighter colors compared to the other angel-like statues used as decorations. Interacting with a dormant Angel will cause them to awaken and initiate a fight.

Lohk Surge

A Lohk Surge

Lohk Surges are Void interactables that provide a range of buffs to Tenno:

• Secondaries have guaranteed red crits.
• Any Health Orbs picked up grant 25 max Health for the rest of the mission.
• Any Energy Orbs picked up grant 1 Energy per second for the rest of the mission.
• 1% life leech and guaranteed  Slash procs on all damage.
• No Energy cost on abilities and increase Casting Speed.
• 200% extra Affinity gain.
• Infinite ammo and 50% fire rate.

Interacting with a surge will spawn an Eximus unit. The surges last 45 seconds and have a 10 minute cooldown. Up to three Lohk Surges can spawn in a mission.

Lost Spirits

A spirit globe light.

Occasionally there will be a small blue-green, glowing, and whispering Globe Light on a table or bench. Interacting with this will summon a yellow Void manifestation in the image of a ghost-like child who will start running, leading the player to the nearest item of interest such as a Somachord fragment, Voidplumes, Ayatan Sculptures, and Rare Storage Containers called Molted Casks. Spirits will call out and slow down if the follower falls behind, but will still continue to their destination if ignored. Afterwards, the Globe Light will remain lit and can't be activated again.

Spirits have no minimum range when it comes to detecting items, and can traverse the whole map if the distance between the Light and the selected item is great enough. If all items of interest on the map have already been obtained before activating the Globe Light, a spirit will appear, then disappear again without moving.

On the other hand, managing to find the targeted item before the lost spirit reaches it will divert the spirit onto the next item. This means that several items of interest can be collected with only one spirit. Should the players collect all the items while a spirit is seeking them, the spirit will disappear.

Locked Storage Rooms

A red door console that can be shot at.

Certain rooms may be locked or partially opened, and can be unlocked by damaging the door console within. Most consoles can be shot at through the partially opened door or by using explosive weapons, but some require alternate paths in order to access them.

Secret Areas

Some rooms contain secret areas that can only be accessed in certain ways. For example, seemingly solid moss can be walked through, or some panels can be destroyed to reveal an alternate path. Destructible panels will be highlighted if viewed with Codex Scanners.

In a Hydroponics room, a set of four consoles (two lit) will be surrounding a central pillar. When all four consoles are lit, the central pillar rises to reveal a lower level in the room. Activating a console will toggle it and both its neighbors. Solutions:

• If the lit consoles are opposite, select both unlit consoles.
• If the lit consoles are adjacent, select both lit consoles.
• If one console is lit, select the opposite console.
• If three consoles are lit, select the unlit console and its neighbors.
• If no consoles are lit, select all four in any order.
• General algorithm: select unlit consoles until only one is lit, preferring the central one if three are in a row.
  • Only yields a non-optimal solution in the case where there are exactly two adjacent lit consoles.

Voidplumes, Storage Containers, Somachord fragments, and Log Tablets can usually be found in these secret rooms, along with environmental storytelling showing remnants of survivors that had lived there.

Log Tablets

Projection of Executor Tuvul

A Zariman log tablet

Secret rooms and other hidden passages may contain an interactable computer tablet with an orange screen. These will play a holographic message from Executor Tuvul, providing background lore about the Zariman as the situation degraded. These messages are not randomized and are specific to the room they are found in.

Lunaro Arena

In one large room, a dilapidated Lunaro arena along with some Lunaro balls can be interacted with. The balls can be thrown into the one intact Lunaro goal for a short fanfare. The fanfare will also activate if a Warframe, Operator, Drifter, animal Companion, or some projectiles pass through the goal in either direction.

Lore

General

In the Orokin's effort to expand their empire, they attempted an experimental Void-Jump with a colony ship, the Zariman Ten Zero. The ship contained many residences to keep the travelers comfortable on the journey. However, the ship experienced an accident while making "the fold from Saturn to the Outer gates" and vanished into the Void, an incident that would be known as the Void-Jump Accident.

As the ship traveled in the Void, the adults became mind-warped and went feral, although the children were spared from such a fate and instead received mysterious powers from the Void. The adults began to hunt the children on board, forcing them to retaliate and fend for themselves. One child that was cast out by his peers, Rell, realized that there was an unknown entity within the Void. The entity offered a deal to the children aboard to allow for their survival.

Years later, the lost ship re-emerged from the Void and was recovered. The Orokin discovered that only the children had survived the voyage and that the Void had twisted and changed them, giving them inexplicable powers and abilities. Feared and reviled, the survivors of the Zariman nonetheless were of great interest to the Orokin. The Orokin may have covered up the incident publicly, reporting that the Zariman instead was a military ship with no children aboard.

Far into the future, the ship re-emerges once again, drawing the attention of the Tenno, the Grineer, and the Corpus alike. A scant amount of the crew managed to survive and became The Holdfasts, who have dedicated their existence to defending the ship. Other members of the crew that were less fortunate became known as Void Angels.

 Ember Prime's Codex

CODEX

Three figures waited behind a simple table. Their attention on a single chair, bathed in light. An old woman's voice from the shadow: 'Send her in'. Across the room a security officer, stern and plain, opened the door. The outline of a young woman appeared at the door. She hesitated, but only for an instant, then crossed the room and sat.

There was a gasp as the light hit her face. Her right eye was bright and blinking, but her left was a greasy slit. Her skin had been burned moon-white. Her mouth was a sagging gash without lips or expression. Her military beret was pulled snug over a scarred and hairless scalp.

The old voice: 'Your name is Kaleen.' Kaleen nodded. 'You were the principal investigator of the Zariman?' Kaleen's voice was a jagged whisper, a rigid face. 'Yes.'

Kaleen coughed, straightened: 'The Zariman was lost making the fold from Saturn to the Outer gates. Mechanical failure. I notified families and filled a report with the inspectors. Nothing ever returns from the fold, so I closed the case.'

'But you reopened the case, days later.'

'I didn't believe it myself until I stepped aboard the ship. It was completely intact, full environmental, as if it had never left.'

'And the crew was gone.'

'Not exactly.' Kaleen hesitated. 'We thought it was empty but we began to find...' Her face twitched at remembered pain, 'We began to find children hiding in the ship.'

'And that is when you violated procedure?'

Kaleen bowed her head, a tear welling in her sightless eye. 'They were children. They were afraid. They needed comfort.'

'So you broke quarantine and this happened to you.'

There was silence as Kaleen touched her face, 'So what have you done with them?'

The old woman gestured for the officer to take Kaleen away. The meeting was over. When Kaleen reached the door she twisted out of his grip and shot back, 'Why would you do that? Why did you put children on a military ship?'

'We didn't. That would violate procedure.'

Principal investigator Kaleen was assigned to inspect the disappearance of the Zariman. She initially concluded that its disappearance was due to mechanical failure and closed the case after notifying the families of the crew who had been aboard, but when the Zariman mysteriously returned days later she reopened it and began to inspect the ship.

During her personal inspections of the ship, she found no trace of the original crew but came across children on board the ship, one of whom burned Kaleen, horribly disfiguring her face in the process, when she attempted to "violate procedure" to comfort the children. The burns left her skin moon white, her mouth a sagging gash without expression, her head scarred and hairless, and she lost her left eye. She was brought before a military tribunal where she explained the story before being escorted away.

Kaleen snapped at her officer, asking why they "put children on a military ship." They responded, "We didn't. That would violate procedure."

 Rhino Prime's Codex

CODEX

Red lights flashing on stark, white walls. Davis is running ahead of me, dropping his notes. We're running for our lives. The fear gives me a strange perspective - I'm out of my body. I've forgotten how I got here. I don't recognize this place.

Davis and I slam pinned against a cell door and he shouts at me. I give him a dumb look. I can't hear him, the sirens, anything, only the muffled throb of terror in my head. I turn away from Davis down the hall and I see it. The hulking mass, flickering red, glinting like steel and fresh blood. Its skin changes, flowing like mercury when I'm blinded by the sudden muzzle-flashes. They do no good. The beast surges forward and the security men become crimson mist and gore.

I'm a statue, a cornered animal. A gate opens inside me and recognition floods in. I have seen this monster before. I have cut its shell and eviscerated its brothers. I have given it pain and measured its response. I have crafted then rejected countless like it. But I've never seen this beast so close, without the shield, without restraints. I have never seen it... free.

I know I will die so I just watch with curious acceptance. The beast squats down, shovelling a heap of gore into its mouth. It is watching me with vague eyes, a sense of recognition, ancestral memory. It knows who I am and what I've done. It rears up like a bear and roars, shattering the lights and casting us into darkness. I can hear it lumbering toward me, its metal fingers rending the walls, but I know I am dead. I close my eyes and stand ready to pay.

I feel the pull on my arm and realize Davis got the cell open. He tugs me into the cell beyond and I fall on my back. I see Davis standing at the open door, waiting, as the monster tears towards us.

Suddenly I could live through this I shout, "Davis, close the goddamn door!" - But he shakes his head eyes wide as moons. He shouts, "Watch!" over the roaring and rending of metal.

Then silence. Davis is panting, laughing? The beast fills the doorway, inches from him, dripping in blood, but still without violence. It stands there, looking at its hands. Davis whispers, "No one would have believed me."

I crawl up the wall to stand, opposite the door. I've never seen this cell, a cold place with an array of shelves. A morgue? "Where are we, Davis?"

"This is where they keep them. The ones from Zariman." I'm thrown, what was the Zariman? The ship that never returned? "Davis, what's going on?"

Davis turns to me, a smile forming - "What's going on is..." he turns back to the beast now silent and calm.

"...big, fat promotions."

Davis was a researcher working in a facility developing metallic creatures, presumably Warframes. At some point during his work, he developed a theory regarding the creatures he and others were working on and the victims of the Zariman. Believing that no one else would ever have believed him, he seemingly released the creature and allowed it to chase him and an unnamed colleague (who narrates the Codex entry) to a cell.

The creature mysteriously went calm after approaching the cell. His experiment seemingly successful, Davis tells his unnamed colleague that "This is where they keep them. The ones from the Zariman", and that because of this success both of them would receive "big, fat promotions."

Margulis

While most of the Orokin feared the survivors of the Zariman, the elite scholar Margulis did not, adopting them as if they were her own children. Initial experiments on how to tame the children's powers though led to several fatal accidents, including Margulis becoming blinded, which showed the danger their uncontrolled powers could wreak both on themselves and on others. However, Margulis continued to persevere for the children.

Ultimately, it was through her research that the children learned to control their powers through dreams. She developed Transference, a process that allows the children to transfer their consciousness and powers into the Warframes to act as a surrogate body. The children would be placed into a device known as the Somatic Link to project their Transference, which would be hidden in a facility called the Reservoir on Lua, to control their surrogate bodies in a secure location away from their enemies.

However, the Orokin did not take kindly to Margulis's defense of the children. Her lover Ballas tried to persuade her away, but she refused. Margulis would be executed and vaporized by the Jade Light, but her final thoughts were of her children.

While Ballas heavily resented the children for the death of his lover, he nonetheless continued Margulis's work on Transference and developed the Warframes.

The New War

During flashbacks, it is revealed that the Zariman Ten Zero housed thousands of families and children that were scheduled to be transported to the Tau System, suggesting that the ship was not in fact a military ship as the Orokin claimed, but a residential one instead. The children aboard attended classrooms where, under their teacher Cephalon Melica, they learned from a curriculum consisting of the Orokin's understanding of the Void, including "Temporal Axioms" and "Phasics" to prepare them for the journey. During the children's Temporal Axioms exam, Zariman Actual interrupted the class to initiate a routine Reliquary field drill. However, something went wrong with the Void-Jump and the ship was lost to the Void "fold."

During the ensuing chaos, some of the surviving children barricaded themselves inside their classroom while the adults went mad and fought each other throughout the ship. The Man in the Wall appeared before one of these trapped children (the player's Operator), confirming that at least one child other than Rell could see them, where the entity then offered a deal to save everyone aboard. It was here that, under the concept of Eternalism, two simultaneous realities unfolded: one where The Man in the Wall's deal was accepted and one where it was not. The children who obtained their legendary Void powers from the entity were able to be rescued, and those who did not obtain the powers were not. At least one of the children continued to live and survive aboard the Zariman, growing older as normal without any Void powers. This survivor became known as the Drifter.

During the events of The New War, after Ballas throws the Operator into the Void, through unexplained means the Drifter was able to emerge from the Zariman and take the Operator's place for a period of time. The Operator eventually finds their way back to the Zariman, where they are able to meet the Drifter inside their old living quarters. There they learn that due to the paradoxical of their existence, only one of them can exist outside the Void at a time, and from then on their existences are linked.

Angels of the Zariman

After the events of The New War, the Zariman suddenly appears from the Void fold once again, accessible from the material world. The appearance of the fabled ship draws the attention of scavenging Kuva Grineer and Corpus, while a strange song emanating from within attracts the attention of the Tenno and the Lotus.

Once aboard, the Tenno finds that the Grineer had arrived first, loses the Lotus' signal, and meets The Holdfasts, the last remaining survivors of the Zariman's crew who were thought to be dead. Led by Quinn, they exist in a form in-between life and death, defending the Zariman from that which would destroy it, including the Void itself. They inform the Tenno that the Zariman is suffering a Void Cascade that threatens all of reality, accelerated by the Void Angels such as Kira, who was a former member of the Holdfasts before succumbing to the Void's call. The Tenno is able to stop the Void Cascade with their powers, but the Angels proceed to break through the Albrecht Membrane and cause a Void Flood. After sealing the Void ruptures causing the Void flood, the invading Grineer along with Kira head to attack the Reliquary Drive powering the Zariman directly. Cavalero of the Holdfasts explains that while the Zariman was a colony ship and not provided weapons, the Reliquary Drive was too important to leave unguarded and so it was equipped with Auto-Fabricating Armaments. Using the Armaments, the Tenno is able to successfully defend the Reliquary Drive from the encroaching Grineer troops and destroy Kira, putting a stop to the song and the threat. Quinn suggests creating a memorial for Kira, which the Tenno visits to honor her.

Archimedean Yonta explains that the Zariman cannot be freed from the Void without catastrophic consequences for the rest of the system, and so it is left from then on as a fortress against both the Void and the enemies of the Tenno.

Notes

• Tenno can access Zariman's Steel Path missions by switching to Steel Path mode in either the Orbiter's Navigation or the Zariman Navigation.

Trivia

• The term Tenno is loosely derived from its designation number Ten-Zero (10-0, "ten-oh").
• Based on the image of the ship in the Vitruvian, it heavily resembles a ship that makes an appearance in the original concept video for Digital Extremes's previous successful video game, Dark Sector.
• During The Duviri Paradox trailer, the ship can be seen at the far distance on the vast alien landscape, presumably inside the Void.
  • The ship is lodged partially inside of the Void and the material world at the same time through a Void fold, existing in two planes of existence at once. This might be a basis for a 'paradox'.
  • In addition, the version seen in the trailer is colored quite differently from the version seen in the Chains of Harrow comic. In the trailer, the ship uses a traditional Orokin ivory and gold color scheme, while in the comic it features a less ornamental, metallic scheme.
• The Zariman Ten-Zero is arguably the first major Star Chart location that may be considered Tenno-controlled (albeit frequently under attack), with other locations being dominated by the  Grineer,  Corpus,  Infested or even the long deposed  Orokin with the Orokin Void.
  • Arguably, the Veil Proxima is  Sentient territory, but also contested.
• The Zariman Ten-Zero is unique in a sense that despite its being at a fixed location, the Tenno can access it without needing a Solar Rail Junction, as they already have access to Railjacks by the timeline of The New War. The Kuva Fortress, on the other hand, will always stay close to the Origin System's planets and moons.
• Though the attempt to perform a long Void jump of the Zariman Ten-Zero was a failure, it wasn't the first Void Jump from Sol to Tau. The ancestors of the Sentients were sent to Tau by the Orokin a long time ago to terraform the system.
  • However, the Orokin probably didn't know the outcome of the journey and assumed that it was a success, and the proto-Sentients had performed their directives.
