The Argushiigi Admegulasha Bilanidin, which in Vilani
means literally the "Vilani Repository of All Knowledge," is a major scientific
institution located on the world of Vland.
The extensive AAB facilities include a vast museum, a library, and several

specimens, and recorded materials from all over explored space, it also publishes
