Mem
Mem is an ocean world in the Procyon Sector, vast and storm-lashed, with no continents but not without terrain. Beneath its endless seas lie fractured mountain ranges and deep abyssal trenches, and in some places, the tallest peaks breach the surface to form scattered archipelagos—windswept, rocky, and fiercely contested. Once thought uninhabited, Mem revealed its secrets when contact was made with the Memish, an aquatic xeno-species native to the ocean depths. The ensuing war ended with the 51st Legion crushing Memish resistance and absorbing the world into Hegemonic control, though only superficially. Today, floating stations, fortified island outposts, and orbital labs dot the upper world, while the true depths remain hostile and largely unmapped. Gravity wells—free-floating spacetime distortions—continue to deter deep-sea expeditions, leaving the ruins, fauna, and factions of the abyss in shadow. Conquered, colonized, and still largely unknown, Mem is a world of layered mystery—where the surface may serve the Hegemony, but the deep belongs to something older.

Mem
Oceanic world — Unstable gravity zones, submerged ruins, postcolonial tensions.
A deepwater planet entirely covered in sea, Mem hides ancient secrets beneath waves that have never known light. Once thought uninhabited, it shocked the Hegemony by producing its own native resistance: the Memish, an aquatic xeno-civilization adapted to crushing depths and nonlinear perception. The 51st Legion won the war—but not the planet.
Much of Mem remains uncharted, thanks to free-standing gravity wells that warp space and devour submersibles. Below, Ur ruins slumber, uncontacted Memish enclaves sing in darkness, and rumors swirl of machines that remember things even the stars have forgotten.
Above, the Hegemony holds its platforms. Below, Mem listens.
