SporeWiki:Fiction Universe/Intergalactic Rifts



In the universe, there are many, many galaxies. Large groups of stars, filled with planets and with life. Upon millions of years, Galaxies were havens of most, if not all, empires and civilizations.

But between them, there is also not complete void. Sparse, cold stars enlighten this almost fully forgotten lands. Intergalactic space is ghostly place, almost completely black, with excpetion of sparse, gloomy lights of the stars. They are forming these strange anomalies, the Intergalaxric Rifts.

Physics
Physics here, due to gravitational push of several galaxies far away, are warped. Light travels here much, much faster than in galaxies, allowing for easier travel to compensate extreme distance between stars in the rift. There also strange exotic matter appears, such as absolutely inert Riftmatter.

Creatures
Strangely, there are many large, light-eating creatres even in open space. Matalix is example. It is huge golden creature which can regenerate any damage done to it. Their structures were once used in the Radeon spaceships, but now they are replaced by Riftmatter.

Sectors
There are many rifts, which connect various galaxies.

Deus Rift
Deus Rift is probably most used and most populated rift in the universe. It is between Quadrant galaxies and Milky Way. Ships are travelling this place every day, and large space station are used for harvesting Riftmatter. Radeon are native to this rift, as well as many other creatures. Masaari outposts and Spodist colonies are nearly everywhere here, and many of them prefer to tax travelling ships (exception is Masaari (no taxes) and their allies (reduced ones)), angering travelers.

Rift Eden
Rift Eden, aka the Outer Deus, is not one rift, but a pair. One is named Jannat, this one is between Quadrants and Cyrannus and other is named Firdous, which is between Milky Way, Ramvelkys and Otzello. They are united because they are both located very close to Deus, and both have similar physics and similar culture of the inhabitants. It is too mostly inhabited by Radeon, but not the 75% like in Deus, probably only half. Galot, Capricornian, Sylit, Rambo and Lequian colonists live here too. As such, generally this is quite and peaceful place, a real heaven. Trading and diplomacy thrives. Usually, Radeon who live here prefer to elect their local governers, unlike the inner Radeon colonies.

Rift Seraphus
This rift, between Cyrannus Galaxy and Tigris Galaxy, is far away from the Deus, and less inhabited. Radeon Argentis live here, exploring this rift and controlling it. This rift has many unique features, but it is rather dangerous. Ships here are rather rare, as Capricornian usually do not travel to Tigris Galaxy. Seraphus is main technological center in the Masaari Crusade.

Rift Templum
Templum is another far rift, connectin Otzello and Tuuros. Templum is rich with resources, and inhabited by Radeon Ferros. It is dangerous, with huge creatures travelling in space. Yet Radeon Ferros know how to deal with it, and use power from it. It is resource harvesting center from Masaari.

Rift Purgatus
Furthest from the deus rift and between the (literally) Heaven and Hell, rift Purgatus is gloomy and shadowy place. Radeon Cobaltis inhabit this place, and they know how to tame and live in this place, thing that almost no one could do. Psychic exho from Tigris War is still here, filling Rift with aura of fear.
