Stilio probehemoti Cold-blooded, scaled, horned – the Skala cut imposing figures, but their appearance belies a species that evolved to share warmth and burdens alike with their kinfolk. Hailing from winding warrens where individuality is secondary to survival and companionship is constant, the Skala have had the wide and wonderful galaxy unfurled before them by circumstance. Here and now, with the Allian...")

Bibo digicapitus The adaptable and fluid Omdua helped to found the Alliance, and they have been present for every stage between the first outposts and its current breadth. Instinctively drawn to imitate the shape – and the expressions – of other species, these tentacled nomads have always drawn strength from their own plurality and the diverse (or diverting) behaviour of others. The Omdua bring a fluid p...")

Homo sapiens Humans are new to the Alliance – but their novelty belies a long history of struggle, sorrow and redemption. Imagining themselves alone in the universe, they brought their planet and themselves to the brink of annihilation, surviving only by profoundly changing how they lived. Armed with hard-won knowledge that the worst must not be allowed to come to pass, humanity now stands with the Allianc...")

Little else can be said about Nova, because it does not yet exist: unsatisfied by the idea of colonising an existing planet, the minds behind the project have set about building their own – an immense undertaking, larger and more complex than any...")

The creation of anthroids begins with a skeletal frame, which is immersed in a vat of nano-polymers and proteinogens over severa...")
• 01:35, 13 August 2026 Keith (Gamerunner) talk contribs created page Anthroid History (Created page with "The story of the Anthroids begins much more recently than other species because they are much younger than other species; their early history overlaps considerably with the latter days of their creators. Divergence comes after the two encounter the Alliance – though the two species are still closely entwined, they did not have the opportunity to stand apart until they left their home systems. ===Before A -450=== Pre-collapse advancements in biomechanical technology al...")

Homo factum Every intelligent species makes tools; most build machines to make the impossible easy, from the simplest lathes to state-of-the-art autonomous drones. The creation of synthetic life, however, has eluded many of the galaxy’s theorists since times immemorial – but at least one species within the Alliance has managed it. Anthroids are the result: robots built by humans in the image of humans...")

Life on Viront is so fast and complex that other ways of life look slow and simple by comparison – even though it is a cooperative trading partner, playing nicely with others whenever possible, it is occasionally too bold and too bright to be liked. This planet of extremes experiences only the most intense partnerships and rivalries alike: ==...")

It prides itself on being open for business, and eschews many Alliance-standard orbital defences. Nonetheless, its industrial capacity and economic weight is such that it could easily manufacture arms and armour to suit any defensive measures that it requires. That’s h...")
• 01:32, 13 August 2026 Keith (Gamerunner) talk contribs created page Viront Technology (Created page with "First among the innovations of Viront Z85 – the gate, from which emerges all that the planet has produced – is GREY, an artificial intelligence that spans the entire planet from its primary processing units in the glacial Bore to its solar power plants in the scorched Sera. GREY is an order of magnitude more complex than any T/OM unit, and it needs to be: it manages utility distribution, housing allocation, traffic flows, environmental impact, financial buffering, an...")
• 01:31, 13 August 2026 Keith (Gamerunner) talk contribs created page Viront Research (Created page with "Viront offers generous subsidies to research and development teams, so much so that the competition is less for funding and more for space and opportunity. No concern can afford to ignore the latest innovations coming from Vironti labs – if only to keep abreast of relevant cautionary tales. As a consequence, Viront leads the Alliance in patents. It is particularly notable in three fields: personal environmental protectives (like the FillTear! Rescue Inhaler and the 56...")

The requirements of the populace are constantly evaluated against input from trusted individuals and high-impact syndicates. The system is at once opaque – GREY has a brain as wide as the planet, and its considerations are of inscrutable scale – and completely transparent, because everyone has a vested interest and the capacity to voice their opinion. The Vironti attitude towards Alliance regulations is best de...")

The bottom line of living needs for citizens and visitors alike is ensured by moment-to-moment management of the cityscape’s interconnected systems by GREY, an artificial intelligence housed on the planet’s glacial side. With their basic needs met, Vironti can focus on their hunger(s) for influence and recognition. Most join up with a corporation, itself joined to a syndicate overseeing millions, wi...")

The local system is in the proximity of the Urashanum nebula, a hotspot for astral tourism since before the region’s development. The planet’s core is extremely dense and its rotation is extremely slow, allowing it to maintain a gravitational field and a thin atmosphere that is thicker and stormier at the equator. It has no natural satellites. The side of the planet facing away...")

But every corporate history agrees on a few key points in the planet’s development, at least insofar as it is necessary to establish the proper context for, say, Val-U-Argon’s rise to dominance in the emissions consolidator market: ===Up to A -211=== The Nisaba system was just one a...")

Having spent many years as the recipients of Alliance aid, Sultonians now throw themselves into wider Alliance endeavours as a way of repaying their fellows for their help in getting the planet on its current steading. Be that as it may, there are both preferences and tensions between the Allianc...")
• 01:24, 13 August 2026 Keith (Gamerunner) talk contribs created page Sultonia Defence (Created page with "Apart from small-scale community policing efforts and monitoring of the planet’s imports and exports, Sultonia’s main security concern is observing the cordon between Alliance-controlled space and the open stretches of the Helium Lanes. In particular, SHADOW pirate crews are known to harass any vessel that passes into their territory, and Sultonia is the nearest port of call for Alliance naval escorts and those they help back to safer shores. Sultonia is also known...")
• 01:23, 13 August 2026 Keith (Gamerunner) talk contribs created page Sultonia Technology (Created page with "Sultonia’s heavy industry is limited to a few chemical processing facilities for fertilizer, the odd mining company with the equipment to break through to the planet’s mantle, and an increasing number of self-reliant agricultural complexes, or “agricoms”. Combining the principles of crop rotation, responsive sun shading, automatic harvesting and hydroponics into a cohesive and self-contained system, these structures feed most of Sultonia – allowing more convent...")

Within the layers of the mantle, chunks of the “Lost Six” are still being found – encysted fragments of the destroyed planets that became Sultonia, each a rich source of information on the Cassiter system’s earlier state and the effects of a star’s evolution on the system around it. As a planet-sized biome designed to be habitable (though not, as of yet, en...")
• 01:23, 13 August 2026 Keith (Gamerunner) talk contribs created page Sultonia Diplomacy (Created page with "The frontier independence of Sultonia extends to its governmental structures, which are few and far between. There is oversight, of course: committees and delegates are drawn from the planet, and they fight fiercely for Sultonia’s best interests. On the ground, however, folks organise themselves. Sultonia is home to a panoply of cliques, communes, companies and concerns, many of which govern no more than a few miles of land apiece and all of which hold an equal claim t...")

The population has risen sharply as the planet has been developed, but it remains relatively underpopulated compared to other Alliance planets. Outside of major settlements like Habit, dwellings are usually geographically isolated with many inhabitants living communally. The average Sultonian home is a homestead, with several low-lying dwellings attached to a farm or a series of solar/wind power array...")

It has an atmosphere with a roughly even mix of hydrogen and helium, and carbon-rich sandy regions cover much of the surface. It experiences four seasons throughout the solar year, chiefly experienced as variations in wind speed and cloud coverage: *“Becalm” is the cold and dark season, where the clouds are thickest and the wind mildest. The planet’s face is pelted with hail and pocked with frost during Becalm. *...")

They have to prioritise where resources are best spent, mending clothes and making full use of everything they have, and have no time to harvest dyes when they could instead be harvesting food. Imported goods are a rarity and highly prized, though a Sultonian with off-worl...")

When the star Cassiter evolved into a red giant, six planets – Sultonia’s siblings – were destroyed. Material released by that cataclysm accreted in the system’s existing asteroid belt until it formed a new world, fortuitously located in the star’s habitable zone. In many ways, the very existence of Sultonia is something of a miracle. It is also young as a political entity, having been discovered a scant cent...")

Hot and cold playground of the rich and soon-to-be-rich Galactic Co-ordination System: Vista, NISABA-10 The lights of Viront Z85 rival that of its own star. Though the planet only supports life along its equator, that life is all the keener, all the brighter – as though it were spurred on by the precarious conditions in which it developed. It was this striving that drew the Vironti syndicates to flout Al...")

Michel and Siculus are known colloquially as “the Dancers”, due to their elliptical orbits around a shared barycentre. A debris field has formed around them, with the few planetoids within being smaller than many of IX’s own moons. The gas giant is an imposing sight – a mass of metallic gas, many times larger than any solid habitable planet. A ring system surrounds it, alon...")

It did not start out that way, of course – like the accretion of a star or the gathering of a workforce, the origins of IX are simple, even humble: ===A -180=== The Michel/Siculus system is discovered in the Spur region and surveyed for colonisation. It is determined to have high...")

The array of vessels in its orbit could swiftly be equipped with weapons to repel any attempt at invasion, and the lack of conventional planetside terrain would make it difficult for attackers to get a foothold. Tools designed for mining – like core-drilling lasers – would make for potent arms if turned on a starship’s hull. Most importantly, the...")

Even current-generation IXTIS rigs, unparallelled in capacity and novel in design, are built from proven and reliable technologies – and a track record will always triumph over technical innovation when lives are on the line. What this means in practice is that innovation on IX is rarely grand, but consists of slow and subtle changes over time – a new procedure here, a more efficient tubing system th...")

The planet’s gas reserves are several tens of thousands of kilometres deep, and it would take many lifetimes to appreciably alter its mass at the current rate of extraction. With that being said, there are growing concerns that the removal...")

Living in orbit in dense industrial environments, nothing is more important than knowing where to go and what to do in an emergency: infants learn decompression drills before they learn to read.
