The Station

I like living here...I suppose. I have never lived anywhere else.

— Aeyd

Once upon a time, the word "Reki" meant Shelter in a language that can now be considered dead by the general populace of this universe. That language used to be named Draconian.
Reki Orbital Space Station, referred to as ROSS by its creators and Reki by its current residents, is situated close to the center of a Universe with no name. Its inhabitants refer to it only as "our universe."
Reki used to be the first space station in this universe but is now one among many. It's still the largest station, housing several million people. And it continues to orbit a destroyed planet...

Inspiration

This world is a remake of one of my older worlds. As well as inspired by my visits to Japan. It's also slightly inspired by the gacha game Honkai: Star Rail. I was watching this stream about the game when the idea of dragons finding an empty space station struck me. Yes, I know why it was empty and what happened to the previous people and the planet. :P

History

There are no paper trails. The historians do not know what happened to the people who created and used to inhabit this space station. They just...disappeared. It was empty of people when the Dragons found it over 2500 years ago.
The other people who traveled the universe before the dragons appeared and settled in The Station used to believe that the space station and the planet that it orbited were cursed. Though, the curse must've have been broken when the dragons moved into the station...

Planet

Reki is orbiting around a planet called the Areu. This planet was once lush and prosperous. It is now overrun by non-sentient monsters. The planet still holds many materials, and the Station sends expeditions to the planet to gather them. There is also a small settlement on the planet called Nessa.
These expeditions and associated professions used to be held in high regard. To some extent, they still are, but it's now more popular to have a profession dealing with other planets.

Magick

There are several kinds of magick in this universe. But the most common one, especially on Reki, is magick that manipulates essence. This is magick that anyone can learn, as essence exists in every living being.
The second most common magick is powers granted to a person by a Deity. Most people have never met a deity, but many still believe they walk the universe. And indeed, people do receive magical abilities from these deities...

Species

The Station hosts a diverse amount of sapient species. Of course, the Dragons are the largest demographic, having been the first inhabitants after the disappearance of the original creators. However, several other sapient species now call The Station home alongside them. Among them, the Spectera, Iedoloni, and numerous others contribute significantly to the vibrant community thriving here.

Sections

The Station is huge and split into 7 different sections.
There is a center section with several levels and six other sections connected to it but not each other. The six sections are called Red, Yellow, Blue, Orange, Green, and Violet among the locals while they are officially called 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, and 06. The central section is called Monochrome or 00.
Monochrome has 21 levels, the top level being 00-01 and the bottom level being 00-21. This section is connected to the other 6 color sections from levels 00-04. Monochrome contains the shipping dock, the control rooms, the government, and most of the high-level schools, amusement parks, and hospitals. There are only a couple of parks, gardens, shopping areas, and residential areas. These are usually used by the government, diplomats, and other people with status.
The other six sections mainly consist of parks, gardens, shopping, residential areas, office and production areas, and primary and high schools. Since each section contains what is needed for a person to live, most inhabitants stay within their own section if they are leading a regular commoner life. Most commoners dream of visiting Monochrome once in their lives. Those who can afford it do visit Monochrome for the tourist attractions.

Conflicts

There are currently no universe-wide conflict between planets. But there have been and some organizations are not happy about how those conflicts "ended".
On some planets there are middle-scale wars between countries, among them is the planet of Bog, the planet of Terria and the planet of Jel. These conflicts are observable on The Station as many people from all sides flee from these planets to live on The Station and might then end up being neighbors.
There are also small-scale conflicts between organizations that exists in the entire universe. These organizations can be families, corporations or other groups of people.

Universe

The rest of the universe is vast and contains many habitable planets.
