WELCOME TO ZENITH SPACE

Welcome to the landing pad
It's going to be an exciting adventure

Take it slow, there is a lot to do and nothing great has been built in a single day

We have created an introductory structure of categories for you. This is intended to help you get started.

Where to start

First Steps

Nearly a generation ago the species of the Zenith were at war, legions of troops had sacrificed themselves to bring forth this very opportunity. Each species of the council were a problem continuously growing, Each were on a course that destined only 1 would be able to stand as a victor that was our weakness.
Tuleon inducting young races into their empire.
Humanity with their rapid expansion
Solvendari and their Xenophobia
A weakness that the Nenarvi tried to take advantage of for their own amusement.
It was only when confronted by a vastly superior foe did the 3 races put aside their differences long enough to work together. That event is what has lead to the Creation of the Zenith Station A melting pot for new ideas and order.
It is because of this that in a short time the Zenith was able to identify new alien species, build void gates to connect each star system and repel a Vestige alien creation known as the malignancy.
The road was filled with constant dangers with the path ahead still needing to be paved. But thanks to the noble sacrifice of those who came before and those who come after it is now that we of the Zenith; Can open ourselves to not only great shows of might but also acts of mercy.
The Nenarvi have worked without despite their previous nature and many have shown themselves to be dedicated to the cause of the Zenith each in their own way. Leading to vast technological progress throughout the sector
The capture of the Red Queen who sought to use the Malignancy allowed us to gain knowledge of similar threats. To galactic security.
The truce itself shows how each species can contribute to a brighter tomorrow. Each member of the Zenith has sworn this oath.

Tabletop 

A small game that I ran for my friends using a system hack is slowly becomeing bigger and one day I hope to share it with everyone.

Video of demo will be here someday 

Scope

THE MOTIVATION BEHIND BUILDING ZENITH
This world was first thought of when I was in middle school but it was nothing like it is now, from a child's power fantasy it has evolved to a living world, that still has small nods to that child of yesterday.
THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT
This will be used for a tabletop game system and world.
ZENITH'S UNIQUE SELLING POINT

• The "Galaxy" is actually a 40-50 lightyear span, which allows for space opera feel in a "realistic" travel time frame for most games.
• Alien Races 
• science fantasy world built upon hard science.

GENRE
Science Fiction is the base topped with science fantasy.
READER EXPERIENCE
I want it to feel like this world was a possible timeline that could have happened and maybe still could. Full of hope.
READER TONE The world is in the middle, in terms of tone.
Depending on what time you start at, you could be in the middle of a war of two species, fighting off ancient evils or Securing peace in the first galactic alliance. Times before the Zenith were darker for some races more then others. In the end the goal is to keep moving forward.

CHARACTER AGENCY
Players have shaped the lore of the world, so far, peace's are negotiated, friendships forged and evils laid to rest.
