Loph Nereva, Meaning: Field of Colors
A gas giant and the outermost planet in the system, Loph Nereva is a treasure trove of resources, many gathered by drones that descend from refineries in orbit. The bulk of the planet is hydrogen, helium, oxygen, and methane, but many other gases drift in its stormy atmosphere.
Alphia, Meaning: Mercy
Alphia is an agricultural center capable of feeding a hundred systems. The Eden offer free room and board to pilgrims in exchange for work while they are staying in the system, and this exchange has led to a rapid surge in output over the last thousand years (relative to the planet's orbit.)
Krys, Meaning: Malice
Krys is a fortress world, every bit of its infrastructure dedicated to military production, training, and defense of the system. It produces ships in dry docks as well as the defensive station in its orbit, and these ships are dedicated to the system's defensive fleet. These ships are also responsible for intercepting enemy fleets attempting to warp beyond the system and further into eden space.
Opora, Meaning: Calm
An ocean world responsible for the production of ships, Opora is most known for its planetary defenses. As the first habitable world an invading fleet would encounter, Opora houses numerous defensive installations beneath the waves of its ocean capable of targeting anything within ten thousand kilometers of its orbit. This is to defend its citadels, defensive stations that can engage almost any target within the system.
Something is fascinating in the dialogues' structure that I find difficult to pin down — extremely engaging, with some mystery. The opening dialogue reminded me of the article about the Atlas. I enjoyed this read pretty much like finding a new piece of a complex jigsaw puzzle, fitting into the bigger picture. Thank you for that. With some additional information on the qualia of one of the main characters, who describes the Black Signal, I need (but don't want... but need) to ask. Is this connected to the scream that was recorded in the background when humanity "broke into heaven"?
Oooo thank you very much. I've been reading through the dialogue this season and I feel I pick up on the same thing. Idk maybe it's the tense and structure. Present tense makes it feel so much more active for me. Thanks so much for the kind words, my friend. Oooo ok let make this private cause... AHHH! O.O someone is asking the big questions... yes. The final recording from earth is the same black signal. Way to pick up on that! The black signal is directly tied to breaking into heaven. That's the big mystery I want to reveal this season. What is heaven. I won't say what happened to earth, but explaining what heaven is will be opened ended enough to allow anyone's theories to be potentially true. I wasn't expecting anyone to connect the scream. Well done.
Are you running a Kickstarter for a book or series for this world? Because for some time I have a feeling that these are just several pages from an almost ready book? If not, then well... the world itself is a pleasure to see.
I actually do plan on doing a kickstarter with added scenes to bridge the gap between articles. I'll be really digging into it likely after this final chapter. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it!
