Fiction:The Void

The Void, or Void Space, is a half-dimension that exists just outside of real-space, but close enough that portals can be opened to it. Void Space is technically infinite, as it has no definite boundaries, so it can be whatever shape or form its occupants need it to be (or want it to be, for that matter). This half dimension can only be accessed by the technology that was used to create it, as well as some new devices created by the Fordan Empire.

Inhabitants
At this time, only one sapient race exists within the Void, and that is the Fordanta, the species that discovered it in the first place (after it was created by the Ancestors). Their capability to use the Void and the technology left behind by the Ancestors has allowed them to overcome their relatively small population (around 10 billion) and has enabled them to successfully take on much larger forces, for example the Loron, whom the Fordanta managed to defeat 10 ships for every 1 forced to retreat.

There are also many species indigenous to the Fordanta's homeworld Forda. These animals are generally unremarkable, the only exception being some non-sapient Fordanta.

Stars and Planets
At the moment, the only planet within Void Space is Forda. This is because the Void Sphere, the artifact that brought the Fordanta into the Void in the first place, could only bring in one planet. Due to this, there are no stars in the Void, but the Void produces its own light, so the plants and animals don't die from lack of there being a sun.
