WIP WIP WIP This group is currently under construction! However, feel free to join! ... A lone planet, its moon and accompanying star orbiting a naked singularity, Nowheron has been metaphorically circling the drain for millions of years. Its people - consisting of several native sapients and groups of space travelers - are hardy, living in a society quickly catching up to the late information age. A ban on outside corporations claiming the planet's unique resources has allowed small craftsman and artisans to flourish. Many scientists have settled here, and colleges has cropped up around them. Overall it has a reputation either as a new frontier or a backwater planet full of bizarre xenos. It depends on who you ask. The planet consists of the typical spherical/oblong covered in endemic flora, fauna, and various sapients, and The South - the point where the singularity's gravity pulls the planet inward. Travelers say it's where our universe meets all of the others. Infinite paths moored to a tiny point in space. Some - those more similar to our universe - are easier to find than others, and many have been explored and mapped extensively. Small caravans or convoys are fitted with animals and plants to create a sort of self-sustaining, mobile ecosystem. Because of the fluid nature of the South, they may not know when they get home, if they ever do. Returning caravans bring creatures from these other places, and unfortunately, some escape and flourish as invasive species. Because of its nature, Nowheron is an OPEN UNIVERSE accessible through both space travel as well as dimensional travel. All sorts of species can visit and live there! |
