Spire was a Nomai scientist who worked in the Southern Observatory, along with Conoy.
Brittle Hollow
Spire was responsible for building the model of Giant's Deep at the Southern Observatory which allowed them to determine the difference between the two types of cyclones there.[1] When Cassava questioned the need to make a full model for this, Spire defended themself by saying that it should prove useful for further study but admitted that they very much wanted to make a model.[2]
When pondering how to obtain an advanced warp core, Spire was in favour of trying to recover the Vessel's original core as a template.[3]
The Interloper
Spire was the one to notice the Interloper approach the solar system.[4] This led to Yarrow sending Clary, Poke, and Pye to the comet to investigate it. Poke and Pye found out that the comet contained a casing with a lethal matter that was under immense pressure.[5] Before they could warn the other Nomai, the casing ruptured, instantly blanketing the solar system in the lethal matter and killing all Nomai living there.
Trivia
- The blue spire is the most common cultivar of the salvia yangii, a flowering plant and subshrub.

PYE: I’ve never encountered anything like this casing, but it’s all that’s protecting us from what’s inside. Worse still, this matter is disturbingly volatile. POKE: ...Pye. Whatever the matter inside this stone casing is, it’s more than just profoundly unstable; it’s under tonnes of pressure. Look at this density scan. I’ve never seen anything this tightly compacted before! What is this?
