SporeWiki:Fiction Universe/Locations

The Multiverse is composed of many locations.

The majority of the regions that make up the Multiverse, known as "Type I Universes" and "Type III Universes", are Hubble volumes (locations which are not causally connected). Not only can no information restricted by lightspeed or subluminal travel reach other universes, but even hyperspace cannot be used normally to move between due to the formation of domain walls in the boundaries between the volumes.

Many if not all universes are theorised to be distinct volumes of spacetime existing in sixth- to seventh-dimensional space. This particularly includes the alternate timeline/quantum reality Type III Universes, but it could be argued that all Type I Universes are also expressions of alternative histories. As such, it would be of no surprise that they are not accessible via hyperspace, as hyperspace is merely a three-dimensional volume that exists displaced in the fourth spatial dimension from "realspace".

It is rarely ever clear whether Type I or III Universes are truly different Hubble volumes; it is possible that they are just billions of parsecs away from the Gigaquadrant but accessed by the same means as other universes. There is evidence against the latter idea for these galaxies, however, such as "shidium" appearing from the 's home galaxy as hypermatter, and many of the galaxies appearing to have radically different ages to those of the Gigaquadrant.

However, Type II Universes (with different physical laws) would necessarily be distinct volumes within the higher dimensions.

Galaxies marked with a "†" are believed to have been destroyed, most of them during the "Annihilation".

The Gigaquadrant
The Gigaquadrant (formerly known as the "First Gigaquadrant") is a political grouping of all the connected subclusters in the Local Supercluster. It measures from 10 to 100 million light years across. It is far from the whole universe, however.

Intergalactic Rifts
The Intergalactic Rifts are major expanses of space between certain galaxies. There is significant intergalactic space between every galaxy, but the Rifts are the most notable, as they are the least empty.


 * Deus Rift
 * Rift Eden
 * Rift Purgatus
 * Rift Seraphus
 * Rift Templum
 * Inter-Universal Leak (between the Gigaquadrant and another "Type I Universe"

Extragigaquadrantic Locations
Although not part of the Gigaquadrant itself, these galaxies are still known to be within the same Hubble volume.


 * Cognatus Galaxies †
 * - Ghelaxin, Dreykzin, Zukziyl, Selaspewdegh, Suhrszhiodh, Soshiyl, Kompahdh, and Meydh

Universe 66501
"Universe 665010-NHCDB673-886" is the designation of the location where the Onuris Alliance fled to after the Tigris War, accessed by the great Dimensional Gates built be the to survive the Scourge. Universe 66501 had the same laws of physics as the First Gigaquadrant but appeared to slightly younger. The, and the Order of the Light inhabited this universe, before it was scourged during the "Annihilation".


 * Anacrite Galaxy †
 * Kuninar Galaxy †
 * Ageastillia Galaxy †

Other Universes
The fate of all of these since the Annihilation, besides Dimension 0, is unknown; many were presumably destroyed.


 * Clear Type III Universes
 * Dimension 0 - the home universe of ; once an ancient universe suffering from heat death, it was destroyed by the Xhodocto during the Annihilation
 * Zazane Galaxy

Most of the (those that are not clearly "realms of perception") are usually thought of as being seperate universes outside the so-called "Realitos Realm". They possibly include regions that are otherwise indistinguishable from a real universe, such as the "gateway realm" of Artrus, between Realitos and the Celestial Realm.
