Races

^{[TODO: pretty pictures of the non-humans]}

Humans

^{[TODO: anything different from baseline humans to note?]}

Nautil

The only sentient beings created by humanity. Molluscs with spiral shells, much smaller than a human. Created by accident, they are legally recognised as equals to Man and recognized by the governments of the world as equals to humanity. They tend to be intelligent, optimistic, and slightly weird in the head.^[ref]

Breakers

Angular bastards with a relgious fervour and literally god-given technology which they are forbidden to ever improve. Native to the Human universe. Work as the police and military in an alliance (an empire known as Zaj, "Union of Four", or "Quadrium") with three other species: the Makers (builders and craftsmen), Keepers (service and maintenance), and Bringers (leaders and priests).^[ref]

Dryads

Universes and Systems

Starting Universe

^{[TODO: Names for universes? In-quest it's by their artifact disc icons.]}

Salamis A: Marginal planets with basic lifeforms and a few useful materials.
Cadmus A: Contains a planet with nearly earthlike conditions and many useful materials, but also seems to contain tribal-level sentients (the Gesters). Site of Monument and Slater colonies.
Cadmus B: Desolate of life-bearing planets but surely contains quantities of extremely valuable superconductors.

Second Universe

UA: White dwarf star, no planets.
UB: Main sequence yellow star, several planets. Strong radio chatter: advanced non-Breaker civilization is present ^{[TODO: name of the corporate prawns?]}.
UC: Red Dwarf, some planets.
UD: Main sequence orange star, several planets. Picking up some signals identical to the one the Anomaly emits when activated. Contains the Dryads. Site of New Monument, Ryxix and Irontown colonies.

Colonies

Monument and Slater

Built on islands on the Gester planet. Self-nuked when the planet was abandoned to flee a Breaker invasion force.

New Monument

Built in a tiny clearing in the forest of the Dryad planet, between a group of their settlements and the anomaly. Abandoned after the native life started breaking down the walls.

Ryxix

Built in the barren deserts of the Dryad planet.

Irontown

Built on the moon of the Dryad planet.

The Anomalies

^{[TODO: findings; discs etc., in particular summarise the bit about how you programme the destination]}

Plot

Prelude

Totus^{[TODO: upload picture]}, a godlike creature, decides to 'mercifully' euthenise humans by sending one of the 'pure' species of multiverse to annihilate them, and decides upon the Breakers. Earth's crust is burnt by heavy orbital bombardment, but a small group of human ships---Splinter---escape.

Chapter 1

Under Ductor's guidance, the surviving humans settle on an alien planet, dubbed Ithaka.
