  • ANOMALY_SECOND_DESCENT_DESC0 good · 0 bad

    A preserved ship, exactly like yours, lies on the surface of the planet. Empty cities radiate outward in concentric patterns, waiting to receive the next arrivals. The people believe the ship brought the first ancestors, and that more will follow.

  • ANOMALY_SECRET_TERRAIN_DESC0 good · 0 bad

    A research team has discovered a blind spot in the Protocol. The rendered terrain appears empty, and there is no clear way to complete the projection. The glitch reserves a noticeable amount of energy. Researchers suspect intentional encryption: some cosmic entity may want to keep this location hidden in every speculative scenario.

    A Thermortis archival construct built to survive the death of stars. Its data logs record the earliest known structural map of the Astro Protocol. The annotations repeatedly warn that the Great Calibration was anticipated from the very beginning, and that each improvement in prediction-cycle technology has only accelerated the march toward the end of time.

    This planet is covered in dormant survey arrays, telescopes, and data relays aimed far beyond the system. Surveyors appear to have left once their mapping objectives were met. You may reactivate the network to expose nearby regions, repurpose the planet for scientific research, or claim it as a colony.

  • ANOMALY_THE_ORIGIN_DESC0 good · 0 bad

    This world contains evidence of Astro Protocol development on a planetary scale, predating every known faction. The final log entries suggest its creators feared the Great Calibration. No trace of their identity remains, but the planet itself could be repurposed for large-scale energy production or reorganized as a logistical hub.

    You have picked up a threatening signal from a Myrmidon sect. It contains a projected attack scenario and a message: “All who oppose us face total extermination. Prophecies do not lie, as you will soon see.” In their arrogance, the senders have carelessly revealed technological information you can learn from.

    You have recovered a forgotten signal belonging to an archaic Phantom army from ages past. Part of its virtual fleet appears to be recoverable and ready for reconstruction. Alternatively, the data could be preserved for historical archiving or used to extend predictive vision through temporal analysis.

  • ANOMALY_TITANS_REST_DESC0 good · 0 bad

    Buried beneath the shifting sands of a desolate world, the remains of a massive warship lie hidden. This once-proud battleship was abandoned centuries ago, its hull reinforced against the planet’s relentless erosion. With excavation and repairs, it could return to its former glory.

  • ANOMALY_TRAINING_WORLD_DESC0 good · 0 bad

    Long-range scans reveal a planet that was deliberately concealed, its masking fields only now failing. The surface shows signs of repeated, large-scale intervention. Cities were built, abandoned, and rebuilt under changing conditions. The evidence suggests this world was not governed, but used. The implication is unsettling: the Astro Protocol did not emerge fully formed. It was trained here, refining its behavior through controlled outcomes and discarded failures.

    This planet once served as a convergence point for long-range transit routes. Tall docking towers remain partially active. With intervention, the world could be reactivated as a logistics hub, stabilized for colonization, or briefly reactivated to send a ship far beyond local space.

    The planet’s dominant civilization is close to achieving compatibility with the Protocol. Yimono overseers have long had the planet in their sights. Many predictions suggest a future invasion that would erase the remaining traces of organic sentient life and integrate its representations into the Yimono framework.

    A damaged Radiant Cataclysm drifts at the center of an expanding energy bloom, its barrage chambers ruptured and its reactor shielding close to collapse. The Radiants claim the battleship can still be stabilized, but if its core is pushed beyond containment it may ignite the surrounding matter into a newborn star. The crew calls for immediate aid.

    Vault 00 is no ordinary planet. Its surface is perfectly symmetrical, shaped rather than formed, and it lies at the exact center of the Protocol. Nothing exists here except a single vault set along the equator. Records are silent on its purpose, but persistent theories suggest the Protocol itself was once stored here.

    A purifier ship patrols a quarantined planet, ensuring that nothing leaves. According to rumors, the Protocol’s most hazardous virus is contained there. However, the quarantine may already have failed. Parasites may have broken through during attacks by Pirates and Raiders. If so, the virus’s spread is only a matter of time.

    Architects are megastructure planners who treat the Protocol as both blueprint and proving ground for civilization-scale construction. They model synthetic mineral flows, station networks, and planetary infrastructure with obsessive precision, often leaving behind half-finished works that others can barely comprehend. Their influence comes from mastery of logistics: factions that earn their trust gain access to the frameworks that hold empires together, while those shut out struggle to compete.

    The Erdi System has established a robotics standard that serves as a crucial bridge between simulated projections and real-world application. Its ongoing research focuses on calibrating models across multiple spatial instances, a process carried out through vast networks of distributed construction and engineering. The foundations of this work do not belong to any single planetary tradition, suggesting that the creators of Erdi emerged from a diverse legacy unified within a shared technological framework.\n\nYet for all its sophistication, the Erdi System remains vulnerable to the weaknesses of its own interconnected design. The bridged network that gives the system its reach is also burdened by compatibility failures, instability, and persistent backdoors. What makes Erdi exceptionally adaptable also leaves it exposed to disruption from within.

    Hackers are covert specialists who exploit the Protocol’s immense complexity faster than its custodians can secure it. They traffic in stolen code, compromised interfaces, and malware tuned to energy grids, fleet systems, and research archives. Some sell access through hidden relays and black-market storefronts, while others weaponize intrusion itself, proving that in a simulated universe the cleanest victory often begins with corrupted instructions.

They are practical rather than glamorous, but whenever a civilization needs hulls, stations, or expansion at scale, it usually begins with Miner logistics.

    The Myrmidon Horde is composed mainly of several genetically similar species that share a high-level swarm intelligence. Its remaining members are slaves captured from other factions. For those unassimilated, survival is a constant struggle that sees the strong feed on the weak. Among them, survival has long favored the ruthless: they steal, or they starve.\n\nRuled by collective totalitarianism and hardened by necessity, the Myrmidon Horde fills its ranks through the forced adaptation of its members into specialized roles. Relentless experimentation, carried out with no regard for subject survival, has driven Myrmidon evolution toward extreme mobility and flexibility at the cost of drastically shortened lifespans. Though the Horde evolves rapidly, it remains defined by deep isolationism and tightly restricted internal communication. Paradoxically, its galactic politics are fiercely expansionist.
