A Candidate is the pilot of a Divine during the Golden era and earlier, a position known in other times as an Excerpt or Elect. They are associated almost exclusively with the Autonomous Diaspora. The relationship between Candidate and Divine is usually exploitative: Candidates are elected young and die young. They are component parts of the machine as much as representatives.
Candidates take a new name along with their position, from either the colloquial or Latin name for an animal. The fad in the Golden Branch during the Golden era was for ungulate names.
