 Voyager, like OrbitDB, is peer-to-peer and does not have a traditional server/client architecture and so terms "server" and "client" do not apply. Therefore, in keeping with OrbitDB's "celestial" naming convention, the storage service peer is called ***"Orbiter"*** and the interface which the developer or user uses to communicate with the storage service peer is called ***"Lander"***.
