Our Stars

"On the contrary, the goal of Nehim is very clear. Our destiny has set us on a path to bring order to Our Stars"

Thousands of years in the future, far removed from Earth and its ways of life, people thrive scattered across the stars in small settlements. But when the interstellar realm known as the Covenant rose above the rest, things changed forever more.

The Concord
The Concord is an interstellar realm, whose goals remain a mystery. After a surprise victory over the Taranosan fleet, it rules the local region with a silken fist, and is in the process of expanding its influence across the scattered worlds.

Taranosa
Once the leading planet in the region, with influence stretching for many lightyears around it, Taranosa was defeated by the nascent Covenant and incorporated into the expansive stellar realm. It is the post populated planet in the entire region.

CROWN
Awakened from its centuries-long slumber, the powerful AI known as CROWN struggles to find its bearings in order to fight againsts the Concord.

SWORD
The only AI created on Tôr, SWORD is a maniacal conqueror that is bound to cause problems for the local region.

The Vicereine
The loyal right hand of the Zadu, the Vicereine travels in their stead to oversee the new conquests of the Covenant.

Ivin Chol
One of the richest people in the local region, Ivin Chol is the Chancellor of Taran and Steward of the planet of Taranosa. He was the one responsible for the surrender to the Covenant, which has caused a political crisis in the Grand cities.

City worlds
City worlds, or advanced worlds, are terms used to describe planets that are heavily populated and have access to advanced technologies and notable industrial capacity. These worlds are rare and powerful, making them very important to the local region.

Rural worlds
Most settled planets in the local region are not bustling cities with industrial capacity, but sparsely populated and often tightly woven communities of villages and small towns, living simple lives as farmers.

The Resonance
Space-time is not rigid, but vibrates in a harmonious way that has been called "the Resonance", the discovery of which paved way for the first FTL engines.

Language
There are many different languages in the local region, though many of them are small and obscure.

FTL Travel (Our Stars)
FTL travel in Our Stars is achieved with a so-called "Resonance engine", which fits on even the smallest spacecraft. But for truly long distance and speedy travel, stationary FTL infrastructure can be of great use.

ComNet
The internet is still around, of course, but with a lack of instant communication across the stars, it functions somewhat differently to our modern world wide web.

AI
Artificial Intelligence is, at least in the local region, the only truly "lost" technology. Only a handful of AI's still exist, all ancient, all mostly hidden from the public eye.

Space ships
Space travel with large ships is the most efficient way of getting from point A to point B.
