Book description
Phantom Engine - Rift Among The Stars is a setting inspired by timeless Mecha classics such as Mazinger, Gundam, VOTOMs, Gunbuster, etcetera - as well as more modern fare. It features multiple 'Centuries' of play, but focuses on eras beyond the Technological Age.
Rift Among The Stars alludes to the Rifts that form between Humanity, and the distance between each-other that makes it harder to communicate and understand one-another - as well as the overarching narrative that from period to period, something is changing about the world around them on a metaphysical stage.
In order to help form a connection to the world, it uses reflections of the real world when it comes to the map, but puts an anime twist on it.

- #1Asteroid 16 Psyche
Keys: Psyche, ⑯, 16, 16 Psyche · Secondary: 1 UE, Asteroid
Also known as ⑯, a circled 16, 16 Psyche is the largest of the M-type asteroids known to man at the start of the United Era. It is the source of important carbons and metals for a material-starved Earth, and after many expeditions were launched to mine it, this eventually led to the 16 Psyche Disaster in Year 1 of the United Era (1 UE).
Its secrets are revealed during the Psyche Conflict.
- #2Chova
Keys: Chova, EXO-M · Secondary: Aliens
First known as EXO-M, until their revelation as a sentient species to the humans of Earth.
Using the Hebrew word for 'Duty', they are a species defined by their focus and unerring pursuit in performing the 'Duty' or 'Fate' they were born to. They are technologically more advanced than Humanity, and use their material-printing to quickly use resources to create machines to aid in fulfilling their duties. Their real bodies are large spheres of metal with a special reactor within. Their troops run on batteries, charged by those reactors. They tend to create a more complex body around themselves with the materials found around them. They are not computers however, and instead more complex silicon based beings that wrap themselves in metal the way a hermit crab might use a shell to protect themselves.
They were first encountered during the Psyche Conflict.
They do not use oils or chemical propellants, and instead use their mastery over energy production and metal forming to protect themselves.
Troops
The Chova's lack of use of chemicals and the like, means they do not use flying machines as a general case, and instead prefer jumping vessels, electric rail gun weaponry, or close combat tools. Their machines tend to be bland in color - metallic in style - and feature outcroppings that can double as extra weaponry if another part snaps off. Though they feature humanoid shapes, their movements are often more unusual.
- #3Roy Mor
Keys: EXO-C, Roy Mor · Secondary: Aliens
The Plague Swarm - dubbed 'Roy Mor' by the local Russians who initially met them on the battlefield - is an insect-like swarm of creatures capable of surviving in space. They're known for their asymmetrical forms, bearing extra legs, antennae in odd places, etc. Formerly addressed as EXO-C in the early parts of the Psyche Conflict. They are the source of P-16 found initially upon Asteroid 16 Psyche.

Keys: History
2200 AD
-
2200 AD - After centuries of constant global tensions, resources are starting to dry up on Earth. The various nations still exist, and the U.N. and many similar geopolitical elements have managed to survive even after this many years. Technology peaked with the creation of massive Solar Farms on the Equator, and former Desert regions such as those in Africa have stopped expanding thanks to the hard work of various groups. Computing never reached the promise of Artificial General Intelligence, and the Silicon Chip reached its limits, with Quantum Computing still a subject being studied across the world. Coastlines have transformed irreparably due to centuries of emissions, and while those levels have dropped off - nature scientists are continuing to warn of further repercussions if those levels do not remain low.
World Flooding is considered 'halted' for the time being, at 60 meters above original sea levels, well above predictions and expectations. There are scientific regions established just to study this phenomenon.
Conflicts for Resources have begun amongst smaller nations, while the richer nations have started to employ rockets to bring back materials from Asteroids that get close enough to Earth. But with how rare those are, it is inevitable for war to break out at any time.
2210 AD
- 2210 AD - Various nations are splintering due to constant wars for resources. Larger nations are creating coalitions.
- 2210 AD, Feb 21 - Founding of the [[Mekonara Coalition]].
- 2210 AD, March 01 - [[Professor Khalid]] from the newly formed Middle Eastern Country of [[Jazaarid]] warns of the risk of continued space mining, based on recent readings from Meteors being mined.
- 2210 AD, March 03 - [[Professor Khalid]] mysteriously disappears, causing rising concerns amongst the world's populace.
- 2219 AD, December 24 - [[Asteroid 16 Psyche]] once again gets close enough to Earth. And while previous missions have failed, multiple nations have launched missions to mine from the massive meteor - scheduled to arrive in orbit of the large Asteroid in 2226, and a return by 2231.
2230 AD
- 2231 AD, January 5 - Scientists at the Institute for Extraterrestrial Minerology discover a new carbon material from the activities at [[Asteroid 16 Psyche]], in cooperation with [[Japan#Japan Propulsion Systems|Japan Propulsion Systems]], that bring the possibility of a Space Elevator back to the forefront. Due to the source, the material is renamed to '[[P16]]', colloquially known as 'P-Carbon'. Multiple nations immediately start a race to use their stores of minerals to create Space Elevators, in order to expand on the ease of mining. Super Conductor research from [[Norway]]'s Thuner Electric is critical in establishing power flow to allow for Cab travel and Cable Sway Adjustment.
2240 AD
- 2245 AD, January 11 - A Second Expedition to [[Asteroid 16 Psyche]], launched in 2234, retrieves more metal for various competing nations. Though notably, there was an accident that occurred on 16 Psyche itself that causes the loss of a Brazilian rocket, causing increased tensions once again. An investigation by the Third Expedition is already underway by the time the second expedition is back.
- 2246 AD, June 01 - [[New Congo Republic]] established.
- 2247 AD, August 20 - [[Professor Rasmus]] warns of expanding further into space and to keep asteroid mining within the Solar System, speaking of having detected 'anomalies', and announces he intends to start research on these anomalies.
- 2247 AD, August 21 - [[Professor Rasmus]] is found dead in his own apartment. His computers are found blanked, as if by a local EMP that only touched his apartment. All windows and doors are found locked. It's declared an accident by a project he was working on.
2250 AD
- 2250 AD, January 1 - The first Space Elevator is stood up with aid from the [[Mekonara Coalition]], just in time for the Third Expedition from [[Asteroid 16 Psyche]] to land and proving the technology works. This Space Elevator is stood up in Kiribati, and established as an extension of the [[Mekonara Coalition]]. Further expeditions continue to bring back metals from its surface without any incidents. The accident of the Brazil portion is announced an engineering error.
2260 AD
- 2260 AD, March 3 - The [[2260 AD - 2267 AD, War of The Americas|War of Americas]] begins. With it being far enough from the Equator that it cannot immediately benefit from the Space Elevators being erected, it goes to war with South America while Brazil is constructing its Space Elevator. The conflict sees a lot of jungle warfare, and drives technological advancement of the first [[Phantom Engine]]. Other countries stay out of the conflict on an 'official' basis, refusing to invest their resources and risk their own projects.
- 2263, July 1 - [[Gabon]] and the [[New Congo Republic]] complete their Space Elevator in cooperation with France, entering into a cooperative accord. This set of Space Elevators changes the economic landscape and shipping lanes throughout the world, in part due to the Hyper Speed Rail across both Land and Space - connecting the two locations.
- 2267 AD, March 3 - Exactly 7 years after the [[2260 AD - 2267 AD, War of The Americas|War of The Americas]] began, the 'America Accords' are signed, marking a cooperation between Northern and Southern America. And while Northern America is given access to the Southern America Space Elevator, it is generally considered a victory by the Southern America Coalition.
2070 AD
- 2078 AD, June 3 - [[Indonesia]] completes its Space Elevator in cooperation with greater [[China]].
2090 AD
- 2097 AD, December 31 - The first expedition to [[Asteroid 16 Psyche]] is launched with [[Phantom Engine]] workers, created in collaboration between
2300 AD - 0 UE
- 2300 AD, January 1 - [[The Maldives]] 'officially' completes its Space Elevator in cooperation with all nations, creating the United World Space Elevator. It is protected by the new generation of [[Phantom Engine|Phantoms]] - the Space Phantom - produced by [[The Maldives#Phantom Dive Engineering|Phantom Dhivehi Engineering]] - colloquially referred to as '[[The Maldives#Phantom Dive Engineering|Phantom Dive Engineering]]', or 'PD Engineering'.
- 2300 AD, January 1 - A new Calendar is announced as the Fifth Space Elevator is finally erected, and Earth enters a new age of prosperity thanks to the ease of travel and mining in space. And while the world is not truly 'united', it enters the United Era.
0 UE
- 0 UE, February 5 - During ongoing conflicts in Europe and South America by a terrorist organization going by '[[Aegis]]', trying to raid local labs using Phantom Engines, cameras capture the enemy forces featuring prow emblems on their leader units. This popularize the idea of using prow emblems to tell factions and leader units in combat scenarios.
- 1 UE, June 3, 16:16 UTC - Thanks to a favorable launch window and a new flight OS, the 16th Expedition to [[Asteroid 16 Psyche]], arrives. And with it, begins the [[1 UE - 2 UE, Psyche Disaster|Psyche Disaster]]. A few days after arrival and massively successful drilling, the signal goes silent, and a massive electro-magnetic pulse waves out from Asteroid 16 Psyche and approaches earth. By the time any communications could have made it to Earth, the wave hits Earth, and with it, the Southern coast of Africa. The crews at 16 Psyche are considered lost. Earth holds its breath as worries spread about the impact to the African Orbital Elevators.
- 1 UE, June 4, 08:32 UTC - After hours of work by multiple nations coming together, cooperation from the [[Norway#Thuner Electrics|Thuner Electrics]] crew and the use of Space Phantoms, the African Orbital Elevators are protected from crashing.
- 1 UE, June 5 - The earth springs into action to try and figure out what happened. Analyzing the waves of Electromagnetic Pulses so powerful, they reached all the way to earth. And while the surface was largely protected by the atmosphere, enough satellites in the region are down, causing issues with communications and navigation for several months. Their [[1 UE - 2 UE, Psyche Disaster#Early Findings|Early Findings]] are concerning. The most notable of that being the approach of multiple fragments of 16 Psyche rocketing towards earth. Earth prepares for the worst.
- 1 UE, December 1 - Multiple interceptors and projectiles are launched from earth to deflect the approaching objects.
- 2 UE, February 16 - [[1 UE - 2 UE, Psyche Disaster#Interceptor Contact|Interceptor Contact]], ultimately leading to an announcement of failure by the various participating governments.
- 2 UE, June 6 - Multiple impacts to earth from the fragments of [[Asteroid 16 Psyche]], leading to the first Contact the so called EXO forms, EXO-M (Metal Outsider) 1 through 8, as well as EXO-C (Carbon Outsider) 1 and 2.
- EXO-C1 and EXO-C2 impact earth around the Russian regions. One impacting in Siberia, while the other impacts in the ocean between Siberia and the remains of the North Pole. Due to the infrastructure to protect against the massive flooding of earth, the Tsunamis caused do not cause severe problems - but a large crater remains in Siberia, throwing various materials into the atmosphere and causing continued magnetic interference leading to communication outages and lack of non-visual monitoring in the region.
- The EXO-M do not cause any such hazardous fallout, and are quickly declared as possible unknown lifeforms or vehicles due to their 'limited' impact upon earth in multiple locations, regardless of their kilometer-wide sizes.
- 2 UE, June 7 - The beginning of the true [[Psyche Conflict]].

The Mekonora Coalition was formed in 2210 AD, between Thailand, Cambodia, and various other nearby nations such as Laos and Vietnam. It formed an Industrial Alliance that allowed it to stand up against larger producers. And in 2222 AD, it worked with [[Jazaarid]] and [[Japan]] to start refining and manufacturing [[P16]] in large quantities.
The boom in demand for P16 soon aided the countries to improve their economy and presence on a global scale. Their move to fund and establish the first Orbital Elevator 50 years before the United Era, in the small island nation of Kiribati further cemented their position in the upcoming century.

Keys: Professor, Khalid · Secondary: apan, EMJ, Anomalies, Jazaarid, 2145 AD, Anomaly, Disappearance
![[PE - Professor Khalid.png|300]] Full name: Khalid Aziz Traits: Grumpy, Persistent
Expert on Extraterrestrial Mineralogy
Born in Britain in 2145, [[Professor Khalid]] displayed an early aptitude for mathematics and physics. Growing up in a time of increasing environmental anxiety and resource scarcity, he became fascinated by the potential of space to solve Earth's problems. He secured a highly competitive scholarship to study in [[Jazaarid]] in 2165. [[Jazaarid]]'s Extraterrestrial Mineralogy program was renowned for its cutting-edge research into the composition of asteroids and meteorites, and its focus on developing sustainable mining practices.
In [[Jazaarid]], [[Professor Khalid]] quickly distinguished himself. His work on developing new spectroscopic techniques for analyzing extraterrestrial materials earned him the moniker "young genius." He published several influential papers on the potential of specific asteroids to provide rare earth elements essential for quantum computing, further cementing [[Jazaarid]]'s position as a leader in the field.
As a member of the Science Foundation in [[Jazaarid]], [[Professor Khalid]] initially focused on projects related to improving the efficiency of resource extraction from near-Earth asteroids. He headed the EMJ (Extraterrestrial Mineralogy Jazaarid), where he oversaw research into the long-term effects of space mining on the solar system's ecosystem. He collaborated with scientists from around the world, including [[Japan#Japan Propulsion Systems|Japan Propulsion Systems]], on projects related to asteroid retrieval and processing.
In early 2210 AD, while analyzing data from a recent meteor sample, [[Professor Khalid]] discovered unusual energy signatures and isotopic ratios. These readings suggested that continued, unchecked space mining could trigger unforeseen and potentially catastrophic consequences. He believed that the meteors being mined contained something beyond just minerals - something almost like a dormant energy.
Driven by his findings, [[Professor Khalid]] made the difficult decision to publicly warn the nations of the world about the risks of continued extraterrestrial mining. He announced that he would show his data at an international conference, knowing that his warning would be met with resistance from powerful corporations and governments eager to exploit space resources. At the time, many dismissed his findings as premature or exaggerated.
Two days after his public warning, on March 3rd, 2210 AD, [[Professor Khalid]] mysteriously disappeared from his apartment in [[Jazaarid]]. His research data was missing, and there were no signs of forced entry. The [[Jazaarid]] authorities launched an investigation, but the case quickly went cold. Rumors circulated that he had been silenced by those who stood to lose the most from his warnings. Some whispered that he had gone into hiding, fearing for his life.
The disappearance of [[Professor Khalid]] cast a long shadow over the field of Extraterrestrial Mineralogy. While space mining continued, his warning served as a constant reminder of the potential risks involved.

Keys: Phantom Engine · Secondary: War of Americas, RTG, Lucia, Lucía, Fantasma, Estrella Robotics, Fission, Space Phantom, Brazil
The Titular Phantom Engine, is a humanoid silhouette mechanized machine that has come at various sizes and iterations throughout the timeline of Rift Among The Stars. The first deployment was seen during [[Timeline Summary#2260 AD|The War of Americas]] - deployed by the South American Freedom Fighters - 'Fantasma' -- thus earning it its name. It served as a notable Force Multiplier that was able to stand up to Drones due to its rapid reaction speed, and being able to easily deploy and outmaneuver within the jungle environment.
Fantasma MK 1
Estrela Robotics
![[Fantasma MK 1.png|500]]
The Fantasma features a Mono-eye style sensor and was regularly deployed with a small contingent of support staff. This Phantom Engine runs on modified Fission RTGs, causing it to run hot and easy to locate on heat-sensors. The Fantasma group however used other high heat objects to obfuscate deployments of the Phantom Engine unit.
Fantasma Palenque
Also known as the Fantasma P, it is an engineering marvel created by [[Professor Lucía]]'s [[South American Alliance#Estrella Robotics|Estrella Robotics]]. It is a Phantom Engine with a stronger series of RTGs, and significantly larger than the lanky Fantasma MK 1. It is heavily plated and has heavy work engines, and a series of Ion Engines to make adjustments more easily in space, and various methods of launching chains and hooks to enable drilling. Six Fantasma P units are launched to [[Asteroid 16 Psyche]] in 2093 AD as the first Phantom Engine sent to space, a feat that would not have been possible without the existence of the Orbital Elevators.
Space Phantom
Phantom Dive Engineering
The Space Phantom was made with the intent of protecting the Space Elevators from harm by any other nation's forces. They were first deployed at the Brazil Space Elevator.
