A community-driven sci-fi universe
Known in history as the bloodiest human rebellion against the Bea’viskar rule, the conflict lasted for nearly 15 years and left nearly 30 billion people dead. The insurrection is named after its chief instigator, YeXXx. After failing in his ambition to become a rapper, YeXXx fell sick and became bedridden for several days. During that […]

Before the first wave, life was simple. Tiny specks of life-powered by chemical decay filled the waters. Then the first wave came. The green wave. Being powered by light, life of the first wave quickly overran the ancient life and spread through the waters and lands, taking countless forms Then the second wave came. The […]

Boltzmann brain is a hypothetical concept in physics that states, given enough time and a universe with a high enough entropy, it is more probable that a self-aware brain would spontaneously arise in the universe by chance than for a complex universe (like ours) to form through natural processes. This brain could be a simple, […]

Earth (Gaia) is the homeworld of humanity and is currently the de facto capital of the Galatic Commonwealth. Its surface is defined by a vast expanse of nature with pockets of super-dense cities all interconnected with underground vacuum tubes feasible for hypersonic transport. For movement between the most important of locations, the compression of space-time […]

Magic is ubiquitous in Infinity Horizon. Mages, wizards, and warlocks can be found in virtually every pre-industrial terrestrial society. However, what the various races perceive as magic is merely the remnants of advanced forgotten technology. When a mage chants incantations to summon a fireball, it is merely a command in a bygone language activating the […]

Given at rate at which A.I. led cyberspace progresses, any uploaded organic conscience eventually will become overwhelmed by the incomprehensible complexity. An analogy could be that of a lobster’s mind uploaded into the human internet and forced to try and figure […]

The star system TRAPPIST-1 is home to an unusually high number of life-supporting planets – 7 in total. Curiously, all complex terrestrial life found in the entire star system traces its descent from one common ancestor – Specimen 11b2. Researchers remain puzzled how this seemingly primitive omnivore was able to populate all seven of the […]

To achieve sapience does not guarantee a species will continue to advance technologically. Rather, continuous technological advancement is a rare quirk bestowed upon the fortunate [or unfortunate depending on who you ask] few amidst the millions who have seen their civilizations emerge and disappear. The Ceberyen, hailing from the high-gravity world of Ayala, is certainly […]

Suddenly cut off from the rest of the hive, the kayvara throng present on the ark, Infinity Horizon, was quick to degenerate into a feral and ravenous host…that is until the emergence of the first necromancer – the one who betrayed. Being cut off from the greater gestalt consciousness had little impact on him for […]

Found abundant across Infinity Horizon, the Luminade is particularly unique in that it has adapted to feeding off nanites which are abundant in the space habitat. This adaptation has strong parallels to real-world examples of animals adding manmade materials to their diet – think of cloth moths or plastic-eating waxworms. The Luminade is coveted by […]
