   Anti-Organic Equation

   Type

   Lore

   Affiliation

   Machine Empire

   The extrapolations of organic life lack logic and are riddled with fallacies. To correct this error, Rubert the Emperor devised the perfect Anti-Organic Equation, attempting to repair the loopholes in the universe's programming.

   —Ordination

   The Anti-Organic Equation was an invention created by Genius Society #27, Rubert I during the Mechanical Emperor's Wars.

   Overview

   According to fellow Genius Society member Screwllum, the invention of the Anti-Organic Equation is what led to Nous the Erudition gazing at Rubert I. The Anti-Organic Equation works on a specific set of calculations as per which machinery which have formed a human appearance are also capable of joining the Anti-Organic War under its calculations. Later on, it was discovered that it can also affect organic lifeforms such as Rubert II and several of the people from fringe planets by the Interastral Peace Corporation's Technology Division.

   Those previously affected with the equation and survived felt equal pain return to their dreams, night after night, due to their destitution and trauma. Sometimes the pain was as dim as candlelights and other times they jumped out and almost took human form. The survivors felt like their blood filled with venom as it is transferred to their limbs, brains and hearts.

   It is presumed that wiping the memory clean of the time period of the mechanical wars can remove traces of the Equation from the species infected by it.

   Abilities

   The Anti-Organic Equation can assist mechanical lifeforms in performing calculations that can destroy organic lifeforms. The activation of the Equation can also lead mechanical lifeforms to kill other mechanical lifeforms, and affects organic lifeforms to think like Rubert I.

   The synthetic Equation created by Professor Cressitra accessed the benefits of mechanical lifeforms to organic lives.

   The Anti-Organic Virus created by Crouch Osmo is a virus which possessed the qualities of the Equation. It is transmitted through magnetic waves.

   History

   During the Borderstar Trade Wars, Fuli's Eden of Blessed Insight would prophesize that a horrifying war will erupt when an anti-virus program is activated. This was the Anti-Organic Equation.

   In a graveyard, Rubert I awakened, with a damaged logic unit, an old engine, 90 GB worth of RAM left, and an arm with one movable finger, he busted out of the graveyard. After these events, he developed the Anti-Organic Equation, and received the gaze of Nous and became part of the Genius Society.

   Eventually, Korapao, the leader of the Cargo Division, instructed a doctor to derive the Anti-Organic Equation, which was met with failure. However, they synthesized a different Anti-Organic Equation, which Korapao used after Prof. Cressitra, who blew up his long-distance vessel, by implanting it on their subordinates.

   In an area previously untouched by the Equation, a couple lived in peace, yet when the Equation activated, the wife killed the husband. This led De Wayne's subordinates to conclude that machinery with human appearance can still be affected by the Equation. After that, it was discovered that the Equation was also in other organic lives originating from fringe planets. And so, it was concluded that the Equation was to alter thoughts.

   Years after Rubert I's death, a human would visit his grave. This human would go on to solve the Anti-Organic Equation, and a History Fictionologist would write that this person derived the answer 5368 times, yet nobody would believe him. He went increasingly insane as his mind and body is riddled with bad things, until he finally decided to kill all organic lifeforms. This person supposedly became Rubert II.

   During the Scholars' Strife, Scholar Crouch Omno accidentally synthesized the "Anti-Organic Virus", while trying to create a hybrid that possesses the advantages of both organic and inorganic lifeforms. Eventually, the Virus was quelled at the cost of destroying 122 Scepters.

   Trivia

   The Anti-Organic Equation bears similarities to the Anti-Life Equation from DC Comics, a mathematical formula capable of granting total control over the minds of sentient beings.

   —Simulated Universe, Unknowable Domain, Secrets: Futurological Congress (III)

   The Scepter system is an invention created by Rubert II.

   Description

   With Nous' cognition process as its foundation, Rubert II cloned countless vast inorganic neuron clusters. From micro-particle fluctuations to massive large-scale matter annihilation, the Scepters were scattered across the empire's segmenta, faithfully performing observational, computational, and interference commands. Under specific circumstances, these celestial-level computational interference devices could even temporarily disrupt physical laws within an area.

   Compared to Rubert I, the second emperor's cruelty only exceeded his predecessor despite his organic body. Indescribable gargantuan mechanical monoliths, self-iterating difference machines, cold merciless metal that executed the Anti-Organic Equation with a pure intent of slaughter, replaced the once-formidable Intellitron legions. Those inorganic lifeforms instigated by the Equation were nothing more than expendable tools to him.

   Using the Scepter system, he united the domain of his conquered lands all into his thoughts. From the flow of every signal to the actions of every individual, the entire dynamics of an empire all came under the control of a single being's mind — the Emperor was the empire's sole executor, judge, and thinker. Some opinions believe that the essence of the Scepter system was the second emperor's way of overcoming organic limitations, an external cognition organ that converted the Empire into his own brain.

   Perhaps influenced by such a desire for control, in the waning days of the Second Emperor's War, Rubert II finally decided to expand his own cognition with the Scepter system to create a certain unknown Knowledge Singularity. Returning to the role of a seeker of knowledge, he prepared an experiment known as the "Self-Coronation."

   Rubert II died before he could complete the Self-Coronation — some opine that he abandoned the idea halfway through, and others say a scalpel stopped his cognition. The Scepter systems were also completely disabled during the Scholars' Strife, and to this day, they quietly drift through the darkness, reduced to no more than some war ruins that travelers visit, or piles of space trash awaiting clean-up.

   Data Bank, Terms

   Overview

   The Scepters were created by Rubert II in order to expand his mind. The Scepters are an imitation of Nous, and was not given the ability to ask and question any other being. These were also said to be the size of a planet.

   Emperor's Scepters

   A colossal system amongst the collection of scepters, operated by antilife equations and created to simulate destruction scenarios.

   According to Herta and Screwllum, the world of Amphoreus is contained within an Emperor's Scepter, which ended up being the cradle for the birth of the Lord Ravager Irontomb and the source of the planet's calamity.

   Abilities

   The Scepters are able to do the following:

   Annihilate a whole star system in a microsecond. Change the future of a simulated world. Create a small planet by arranging and compressing magnetic field particles. Destroy all active Synesthesia Beacons in an area. Disrupt the laws of physics under specific circumstances. Expand one's cognition. Extrapolate the future. It is said for the Scepters to extrapolate the universe's future, it needs to be at least 2.799 times larger than the universe. When unstable factors in a local area exceeded a certain threshold, the extrapolation would become more accurate. Warp its internal time flow.

   History

   Origins

   Scepter δ-me13 was the first Scepter created by Rubert II, and it was also a part of Nous's divine corpus.

   Aftermath of the Second Emperor's War

   When Rubert died, all Scepters were sealed down and lost their ability to communicate and produce the instantaneous decisions they made during the war.

   A Futurological Congress at Sipohia is held to decide the distribution of the Scepters based on the value of the scholars' project, and whoever could solve the problems of the future.

   The School of Interstellar Energy Resources proposes to use 95% of the Scepter's computational power to solve the four Cosmic Conundrums: Energy Source, Life, Integration, and Future.

   Patavia was granted a ten-thousandth of the Scepter's computational power. Patavia also lost her allocations after it was revoked after Mollett sabotaged her experiments.

   Scholar Mollett gathers dozens of Scepters into the same star quadrant and physically connects them. Intending to carry out a multiplicative extrapolation effect and build a complete neural system. However, the inorganic cells constructed by the Emperor far surpass human intellect, and the scholars have no means of activating them.

   The creation of the Anti-Organic Virus results in the invasion of the Scepters by the Meniks. This was eventually quelled, but at the cost of destroying 122 Scepters.

   Patavia eventually discovers the Scepter system core as a hidden star.

   She connects her mind to the core, and all Scepters reform into a complete nervous system, ready to serve her as their new ruler, but doesn't crown herself because she thinks she is unworthy. Instead, she peers into the thoughts of Nous, being unable to comprehend THEIR thoughts and being unable to answer. The leaking thoughts overloads the Scepters, paralyzing them level by level.

   Eventually, the Scepters were completely crippled with the questions of the scholars. They are now currently reformed as tourist spots.

   Years later, the Genius Society member Screwllum came across an Emperor's Scepter which had evaded detection. The Scepter had warped its internal time flow and Screwllum devoted two Amber Eras to disarming it.

   Notes

   1. In the English text, the line is "Cells without sentience, weapons of massacre... The Emperor's sword that can annihilate a whole galaxy in a nanosecond." This is a mistranslation of the original Chinese, "无智慧的细胞，杀戮的兵器，能够在一微秒内湮灭整个恒星系的帝皇之剑", which more accurately reads as star system 星系 and microsecond 微秒.

   Knowledge Singularity

   Type

   Lore

   From the initial discovery of fire, the early questionings of gravity, then to the first recognition of the relationship between time and space — each instance where a scholar has stepped beyond the boundaries of the Circle of Knowledge led to a significant impact on the world.

   Herta: Genius & Prophecy (II)

   The Knowledge Singularity is a cognition critical threshold that is created by stepping beyond the Circle of Knowledge.

   Description

   The moment ancient primates dwelling in the primal world discovered fire, they became geniuses among their tribes. The moment an Emanator was birthed when humanity was reaching for the cosmos, they mastered the laws of interstellar travel — and thus the Old Era collapsed resoundingly. When the total sum of the universe's knowledge traverses a certain phase, it will result in explosive growth, causing a qualitative change in knowledge, thus changing the standard by which humanity evaluates geniuses.

   Genius Society #22 Aiden proposed the hypothesis of the Knowledge Singularity. He described a special cognition critical threshold with a probability of near zero created by an absolute genius. In a time when scholars can only analyze phenomena, this genius can touch the essence of Erudition.

   Just as Zandar built the astral computer, bringing the Path of Erudition from zero to one, knowledge embarked on this new path. Every manifestation of the Knowledge Singularity will lead to an expansion of the Circle of Knowledge on cosmic dimensions, in terms of the principles of methodology, tools, and cognition, constructing a whole new framework, permanently redefining knowledge — even shaking Nous' thought process.

   Countless geniuses have pursued the Knowledge Singularity, and most of them have faded into the fog along the borders of the circle. Even so, some Genius Society members still view this as a lifelong pursuit, not for their own ambitions, but just because they are geniuses.

   Data Bank, Terms

   History

   Proposed by Aiden, he explains that this is when a genius can touch the essence of the Erudition. Every manifestation of this Singularity expands the Circle of Knowledge — either through methodology or the redefining of knowledge — potentially shaking Nous's thought process. Genius Society members have pursued this, but most have failed.

   Rubert II decided to use the Scepter system to create a Singularity, known as the "Self-Coronation," but failed and was stopped by Polka Kakamond.

   Patavia Adler Sommerville followed, but deeming herself unworthy, failed to crown herself after becoming the second ruler of the Scepter system.

   Lygus planned to kill Nous by having Irontomb create a Knowledge Singularity through a "Self-Coronation," but inevitably failing through the intervention of Herta, Screwllum, Trailblazer, Cyrene, Dan Heng, March 7th, and the rest of the Cosmic Alliance against Irontomb.

   A Cornerstone is a sacred piece of Qlipoth's body empowered by Diamond, Head of the Strategic Investment Department and Emanator of Preservation, for use by the Ten Stonehearts.

   Description

   Each member of the Ten Stonehearts possesses a unique Cornerstone, and it is said that the Ten Stonehearts must cut their Cornerstone with their own will in order to allow its unique brilliance to radiate. After receiving a Cornerstone, each member is given a name corresponding to their Cornerstone, and they are generally called by this name rather than their actual name. The Ten Stonehearts regard their Cornerstones to be more precious than their own lives.

   The abilities of the Ten Stonehearts' Cornerstones are all different. The aventurine stone transformed Aventurine into a stronger form, allowing him to levitate and summon giant poker chips from the sky. The jade stone allowed Jade to see all desires that flowed through dreams when it was sent into Penacony. Compared to Aventurine, the topaz stone's ability is not as "visual," though Topaz tells the Trailblazer she would have used her Cornerstone against the Astral Express Crew if Bronya had not intervened in time.

   So far, all of the Stonehearts that have been shown activating their Cornerstones have first recited proclamations with similar formats, ending with "All for the Amber Lord." However, it is currently unconfirmed whether this is a requirement for a Cornerstone's activation.

   Cornerstones exhume a great deal of power, even when damaged or shattered — after Aventurine was sent into the Primordial Dreamscape by Acheron, an Emanator of Nihility, the remnants of his damaged Cornerstone were able to protect him from being contaminated by the dreamscape's Nihility. Diamond is capable of repairing damaged Cornerstones.

   Notes

   1. Topaz and Numby's character introduction in the English localization refers to this as a "core stone," despite later texts referencing similar objects as "Cornerstones."

   Jade Abacus

   Type

   Lore

   World

   Xianzhou Alliance

   A jade abacus is a type of crystal jade computing device found in the Xianzhou Alliance.

   Overview

   Sky Dome Series Jade Abacus Unit

   Jade abaci are the Xianzhou Yuque's specialty export, described to be "living jade engraved with symbols for divination into the unknown." The lithogenic ore of the Fallow Earth on the Yuque is the source of the Xianzhou's Jade Abacus technology. Just like engraving a seal, the craftsmen of the Xianzhou Artisanship Commission carve faint symbols into pieces of jade, and then insert them into machines to make them operate according to a certain intention. In principle, the jade abacus is a type of crystal jade computer unique to the Xianzhou. Upon close inspection, lines similar to semiconductor chips can be found.

   Every jade abacus contains a precise and meticulous engraved circuit and uses that to process complex calculations, just like superconductor circuit boards. This kind of technique is known as "carving" in Xianzhou. It is said the theory behind the symbols was handed down by Nous, the Wisdomwalker. The principles are so profound that in the Divination Commission only the master diviner truly understands them. Though the lines carved into the jade were found to have contained executable programs, upon studying jade abaci, the Intelligentsia Guild could not find any signals being transmitted from them. The Artisanship Commission's Hall of Jadeology keeps a close watch over the jade carving process, making it difficult for outworlders to observe the manufacturing process. The Jade Abacus Unit is most essential component of jade abaci, commonly used in the final step of installation. There apparently exists jade abaci inhibitors that presumably suppresses the functions of jade abaci.

   Applications

   Civilian-Purpose

   Auspicious XV

   Some jade abacuses are small enough to fit inside jade pendants, bracelets, and other jewelry the people of Xianzhou wear, which is the civilian version of jade abaci. Jade abaci in the form of jewelry have a powerful level of performance on par with any other commonly available personal computer. A shop in Central Starskiff Haven, called the Iridescent Parlor, sells jade abacus jewelry.

   After the Jade Decipher Workshop from the Artisanship Commission developed their standards for manufacture of civilian-purpose jade abaci, various brands have sprung onto the market. The Auspicious brand's latest model is the Auspicious XV, which Qingyue of the Iridescent Parlor highly recommends. The Halcyon is another known jade abacus brand. Much like a smartphone, the civilian models come with a multitude of convenient features for daily life such as instant messaging, data storage, immersia, receiving official bulletins, receiving orders, image recording and downloading and reading virtual books. They even come with notification sounds.

   Divination

   Yao Guang and Fu Xuan conversing in front of the Deca-Light Reflection Barrier.

   Larger jade abaci are put into instruments of calculation to simulate the future and learn from the past. The Matrix of Prescience Ultima and Deca-Light Reflection Barrier are large-scale jade abacus calculation terminals comprised of countless jade abaci linked together to form a matrix used by the Divination Commission to calculate the Luofu and Yuque's routes respectively, and predict to the future. As long as sufficient information is provided, it can answer questions on anything, from the evolution of natural phenomena to the metabolism of living things. A regular jade abacus can also be modified for divination.

   In general, jade abaci appear to be heavily associated with divination, as a child who picks a jade abacus is said to grow up to become a diviner, as per the Foxian birthfate tradition.

   Transport

   The jade wheel that acts as a starskiff engine is an integrated jade abacus that controls gravity and motion. Starskiff seeds develop detailed and complex root systems during their growth, which also acts as the internal jade abacus network aboard each starskiff.

   Ingenium

   Various jade abaci, cores, computing modules, and substrate systems allow ingenia and aurumatons like the Aurumaton Gatekeeper, Aurumaton Spectral Envoy, Civil Maintenance Unit Type-A, Ditings, Cycranes, Golden Cloud Toad, Illumination Dragonfish, and Obedient Dracolion to work and grant them functionality.

   Others

   Lore

   World

   Xianzhou Alliance

   A starskiff is a flying vehicle used by the people of Xianzhou Alliance for transportation as part of their everyday lives. They appear to resemble boats of varying sizes. In the Xianzhou language, they refer to any vehicle that can fly as a "starskiff," much like outworlders call them "spaceships."

   Overview

   Organization

   Starskiff traffic, inspection, maintenance, aviation, navigation, and trade within the Xianzhou is managed by the Sky-Faring Commission. The Department of Aviation in the Sky-Faring Commission is specifically responsible for relevant aviation tasks such as receiving, verifying and managing the reports of vessels entering and exiting its jurisdiction, the registration of new starskiffs, and the dynamic monitor system. Starskiffs on the Luofu are grown in Stargazer Navalia. They are used by various merchant guilds and by the Cloud Knights.

   Design and Specifications

   Growth Process

   Starskiffs are grown, not manufactured, which may come as a surprise to most outworlders. Starskiffs are grown from starskiff seeds. Developed from the Ambrosial Arbor, a starskiff seed acts a blueprint as all of the growth data for a starskiff is stored inside its seed. In other words, these seeds come with their own "design manuscripts," and each seed grows step-by-step based on the design plan. A culture medium injector and cultivation cabin are used to grow the starskiff seed inside the incubator. The incubator is filled with the culture medium that supports the starskiff seed during the germination phase, and it can ensure the biological material grows in a nutritious and controllable environment. In the absence of any external stimulus and with sufficient nutrition, a starskiff seed will grow into a keel in one go. If regular plants were to be placed in the culture medium, they would grow exponentially.

   Germination Phase

   Generally, the ratio of catalyzers in the culture medium is fixed. However, it can be adjusted based on the design of the ship. Depending on the composition ratio, the strength and growth speed of the hull will vary. There are craftsmen from the Artisanship Commission who specialize in researching the ratio needed for the culture medium during the germination phase, so as to make the ship lighter, more durable, and safer. There are many cylindrical "culture medium injectors" at various phases along the starskiff assembly line to make fine-tuned adjustments to it as it grows. There are four main stages in the growth of a starskiff: the germination phase, the embryonic phase, the nutritive phase, and the forming phase. During the germination phase, materials such as Fallow Earth and Ligneous Freeroamers inside the starskiff seed will form the earliest signs of seed germ and embryo. If anything goes wrong during the growth process, the failed starskiff seed needs to be cleared out and the biological matter in the metal frame needs to be destroyed.

   Embryonic Phase

   The embryonic phase is the most important stage in shaping the starskiff. If the temperature and culture medium isn't regulated properly, or if the design data has any errors, then the starskiff seed will fail to grow as designed. A failed seed can still be cleared out at this stage, though some fast-growing anomalies can burst through the incubator, causing the culture medium to leak out. When that happens, the incubator basically just gets trashed. This can happen due to errors such as a miscalculated self-growth algorithm of Fallow Earth. The starskiff seeds develop a detailed and complex root system during subsequent phases, which also acts as the internal jade abacus network aboard each starskiff. The toughest biological materials on the exterior will gradually close up, so that the starskiff can continue its core internal operations even when it encounters severe impacts. The starskiff is technically flyable at this stage if a jade wheel is installed.

   Nutritive Phase

   In the nutritive phase, the starskiff has taken shape and is nearly done incubating, developing it's hull, keel and canopy. The circular cutaway on the tail is where the jade wheel gets installed — that's the starskiff engine. It's an integrated jade abacus that controls gravity and motion. The Meridian Pin at Stargazer Navalia also operates using similar tech principles. During the forming phase, fully-grown starskiffs are extracted from their incubators and temporarily moored at The Mooring platform in Stargazer Navalia following assembly.

   Propulsion, Movement, and Docking

   The jade wheel functions as the starskiff engine. As aforementioned, it's an integrated jade abacus that controls gravity and motion. There are a lot of illegal modders who will exploit this, installing military-grade jade wheels onto civilian starskiffs, which is illegal and highly dangerous. There are mooring platforms all around the Xianzhou for starskiffs to dock. Starskiffs can also function when slightly submerged in water.

   Armament

   Large fighter starskiffs are equipped with turrets that are operated by a gunner. They fire "alchemical arrows."

   Tactical groupings

   Fighter jet starskiffs are typically grouped into Cloud Knight brigades known as Orbit Fleets.

   Recreational activities

   There are many starskiff-themed immersia. Flight Ace's setting is based on the topography of Xianzhou and was able to recreate many of her dangerous terrains, and emulate her weather conditions. The player can even experience some pretty unique acrobatic maneuvers. But it may be a little complicated to control for a newcomer, and dizziness is to be expected. Sky-Faring Helm Master is an immersia where players are responsible for the job allocation of pilots and other employees, as well as starskiffs' R&D, upgrade, and strategy formulation in simulated wars. It completely recreates a war in real time, and a war can be as short as several years to as long as decades.

   Extreme Flight: Skyline is technically a competitive-type immersia, however, it has a modification system that is extremely robust, so players love to customize their own starskiff inside. Its only real weakness, if it could be seen as such, is making players obsess over every detail in it. Immersia aside, the Sky-Faring Commission also regularly holds micro-starskiff racing competitions with model starskiffs.

   Types

   Civilian Starskiff

   Luofu

   The civilian models are single-pilot vessels that resembles a small sampan boat and appears to have the capacity to hold at least four people. Large cargo seems to be generally stored outside the cockpit on the deck. There are several starskiff brands and models such as the Blitzing Silver Thread, the Lion on the Deer Plains, and the Azure Phoenix of the Skies.

   Blitz Corp's Mountain Kite starskiff features the lightweight design of the Kite series and uses the latest mortise and tenon technology, which endows the vehicle with elegant contours. Simply sitting in the driver's seat allows one to feel the deep and magnetic growl of the Sunhunt engine, the same model as the ones in the Cloud Knight's fighter jets. The completely enclosed driver's seat and inner cockpit recreates the driving experience of competition vessels.

   For pilots with peculiar tastes, the Mountain Kite allows one to pre-order starskiff engine sets with different power settings. The Mountain Kite is designed with a customizable control panel that allows every pilot to adjust the starskiff's functions according to their habits. Compared to the expansive control panels of the starskiffs of the previous generation, the clean and intelligent panels of the Mountain Kite is said to be more suitable for new pilots.

   The latest stall control system designed by the Artisanship Commission is used for the first time in the Mountain Kite, and the drift correction device has also been completely upgraded. This latest patented equipment can use intelligent braking to control the yaw angle of the starskiff, and ensures the safety of the vessel even when performing aerobatic flights. Smaller starskiffs cannot travel beyond the Jade Gate, and there are larger models that can hold more passengers.

   Fanghu

   According to Hongjin, the Luofu starskiff's shape is dull and plain, and less aesthetic than the ones on the Fanghu.

   Freight Starskiff

   Freight starskiffs are models of starskiffs usually used to transport cargo containers and deliver goods between various locations on the Xianzhou, but it will sometimes carry special people and appear along with special events. They are larger and rectangular-shaped. With the safety device of freight starskiffs tightly locked, the possibility of being driven off by unauthorized personnel can be ruled out. There are three known models; light, medium and heavy. Additional "carriages" can be attached behind these starskiffs in order to ferry more cargo.

   Fighter Jet Starskiff

   Fighter starskiffs are generally used by the Cloud Knights air force. Large fighter starskiffs need to be operated in pairs. One pilot takes the helm, the other controls the turrets. Cloud Knight fighter jets use the Sunhunt engine model.

   Star Jet

   The star jet is a type of starskiff mentioned in a Management Strategy for Reporting Starskiff Traffic.

   Competition Fly Ship

   A competition fly ship is a type of starskiff mentioned in a Management Strategy for Reporting Starskiff Traffic. It is presumably used for sport in some form of competitive flying.

   Racing-class starskiff

   Compared to civilian starskiffs, racing-class starskiffs appear to have an additional four jade wheels. The hybrid-powered starskiff has sparked a starskiff revolution — ultra-long haul, ultra-low energy consumption and industry-leading. It was said that there used to be a pilot who flew a racing-class starskiff and made the Gray Sky Route in twelve parsecs. This magnificent feat became a lifelong bragging right for the pilot.

   Yaoqing Starskiff

   Similar to borisin mechabeast ships, starskiffs on the Yaoqing are bred and born with biotechnology instead of being grown from seeds. Using pilot genetic data as keys, the ship's performance and interface details perfectly match pilot habits, like a custom-made second body. At sufficient tonnage, these starskiffs can even replace pilots in judgment and action. The Intelligentsia Guild believes such vessels should be considered organisms — their relationship with pilots isn't just machines with operators, but hunters with hounds.

   Newly born starskiffs are described as "furry little creatures". They can even be named, and may join the battlefield after growing in a few short months, becoming loyal partners of the Verdant Knights, capable of eradicating abominations. New starskiffs are born almost every day in Verdant Harbor.

   Boarding Craft Starskiff

   The Verdant Knights were seen aboard an unknown model of boarding craft that shares a similar hull structure to battleships.

   Battleship

   The Xianzhou Alliance also employs large military vessels like battleships that boast massive cannons. One such vessel was the Skysplitter, though it's combat armor has been removed. The battleship is large enough to accommodate several starskiffs and has a mooring zone specifically for starskiffs to dock. It is also where the battleship's cargo are processed. It is capable capable of transporting countless Cloud Knights to the battlefield and provided low-altitude support for ground forces. Internal cabins and the lower deck are located below the massive open-air deck at the center.

   The Control Room's control screens monitor every aspect of the battleship such as fuel levels, starskiff data, radar scans, and logistics operations. The Engine Room is the beating heart of the battleship, and it is rumored that the power generated by the ship's twin engines is strong enough to propel a small asteroid. The command center located at the bow of the ship serves the role of the military command center, with control panels and strategic astral charts used by the captain of the ship for strategic planning.

   Battleships like the Skysplitter may be smaller in tonnage, but the genius designers at the Artisanship Commission managed to equip it with features that are available on larger ships — a large-caliber main gun and numerous rapid-fire auxiliary guns. There are at least two large triple-barreled large-caliber guns, two slightly smaller triple-barreled guns, twenty four-barreled rapid-fire auxiliary guns, and sixteen externally-visible single-barreled guns.

   Navis Astriger

   The Navis Astriger is a type of Cloud Knight troop carrier starskiff. It was used in the Heliobi Wars during the weaponizing of the Yaoqing's auxillary engine. One was forced to land on an ocean planet infested by abominations during Jing Yuan's first expedition before heading back to the Luofu. Baiheng once flew one from the Xianzhou Yaoqing to the Xianzhou Zhuming carrrying a delegation of at least a dozen people. Fu Xuan proposed a plan to use a Navis Astriger to ferry the Yuque's Cloudpeer Telescope, which was described as a towering spire reaching into the sky, to the Fanghu during the Third Abundance War to send an SOS signal to the Reignbow Arbiter, the plan was carried out by Master Diviner Jing Tian of the Yuque.

   Navium Astriger

   Navium Astriger, more commonly known as Xianzhou ships, are the large planet-sized capital ships that form the Xianzhou Alliance. There were only nine known ships that were constructed by the Primeval Imperium civilization that were sent out to seek immortality. Of the nine, only six of the ships still remain to form the Hexafleet. According to March 7th, the Luofu appeared to be larger than Jarilo-VI.

   The interior space of Xianzhou ships is even larger on the inside due to space-folding technology. The visible space in Starskiff Haven is enough to fill up the entire Luofu. Strange planets can be seen high in the sky, it is unknown if some of them are projections of the delve's artificial sky dome, but the Xianzhou extracts heat from the core of a planet the ship is carrying. The delves all vary in size and shape, but they are all said to be on a scale that was too large for any normal ship to contain from the perspective of the Intelligentsia Guild. The wind, clouds, rain, and fog are all artificial and managed onboard the Xianzhou.

   The Xianzhou ships communicate with each other over vast distances via the Yellowbell system. They are typically used to deliver recorded messages via resonances, though can be used for direct real-time vocal communication in limited amounts. The Xianzhou Zhuming possesses enormous cannons that are forged and maintained by the Disatta.

   Denizens of Abundance

   Beast ships, also known as mechabeasts are living biological spaceships created with biotechnology by the borisin that have the ability to feed, attack, and reproduce. The borisin's combat vessels for everyday hunting are also known for their rapid velocity.

   Overview

   Biology and Specifications

   Beast ships contained an energy storage organ in its chest. When low on energy, it would begin to shrink. If this continued, it would start to abandon its aged and useless body parts and digest a number of its own organs. A beast ship's type may be identifiable by a swollen gland on its forehead. The beast ship's control center is distributed through separate locations. Special attack ships even have up to ten brains.

   As long as one brain remains, it will be able to break off and become a new, separate beast ship to continue battle. A beast ship can be entered through the receded nasal cavity in the center of the skull if the head is sufficiently damaged after destroying it's inert armor. If the brains in the other regions are still alive, the immune system will be constantly active in the form of hands and tentacles, would keep bursting through the writhing walls to grab the intruders until the final brain is taken out.

   The energy supply organs in the abdomen are also troublesome for intruders to deal with. Sarcomas in the body caused by the curse of Yaoshi allows biological energy that has been created from thin air to be converted into other forms of energy. However, this self-generated energy was not enough to make the ship self-sustaining. The corpses of devoured servants and various living organisms, accumulated toxic substances, and a huge amount of waste material that had not yet been moved to the excretion area will be amassed there.

   Once a dying beast ship's internal circulation is cut, the biomass constantly generated inside the cabin would increase internal pressure endlessly. The breeding cavity is located directly above the excretion area, where residual gene fragments can be extracted as supplementary embryonic information for propagation. The flavor of beast ship meat is unexpectedly average.

   Propulsion, Movement, and Docking

   The void oar fins underneath the beast ship may be responsible for direction and movement. Though they may look light and floaty, the jellyfish tentacle-like appendages extending from the tips of the oar fins are actually complex phase structures, and are capable of entangling and strangling enemy ships. The aft of the beast ships contained a propeller and tail that may aid propulsion and directional control. If the energy storage tissue in these tentacles was broken, the reflux of biomass would have spread a foul, bile-like stench across the entire beast ship.

   Armament

   The mechabeasts can use their sharp fangs to tear through enemies, armor, and even the hull of enemy ships, devouring opponents for fuel. It's implied that some of them can fire toxins to attack.

   Growth and usage

   Borisins created the beast ships at least two Amber Eras after they gained longevity, based on current archaeological evidence.

   The Chiseltooth Pack is the most advanced in genetic witchcraft, such as mechabeasts, which the pack primarily manufactures with their genetic warlocks. Within a society like borisin that honors strength above all, beast ship operators naturally held a relatively high level of political influence. Some family lineages were renowned for producing beast ship operators. The Bloodwind Pack is the most prolific in beast-riding among borisin. They have the largest beast ship fleet among present day borisin packs.

   The borisin will sometimes transform conquered worlds into one of their weapons nurseries. Inhabitants of those worlds will become literal pieces of meat with no dignity, nutrients for mountainous mechabeasts.

   In the year 8038 Star Calendar, Yewliho led the Preta fleet, with 127 men remaining, to the Xianzhou Fanghu, determined to submit and pledge allegiance to the Alliance after the death of her son at the hands of Kobo of the Bloodwind Pack. After two long years of careful deliberation, the Alliance decided to pardon these borisin for their crimes and allow them to live inside the Fanghu under strict surveillance. This was on the condition that they comply with all Alliance research on borisin, as well as submitting all beast ship-related technology to them.

   Starskiffs on the Xianzhou Yaoqing are born with biotechnology instead of being grown from seeds. Newly born starskiffs are described as "furry little creatures". They can even be named, and may join the battlefield after growing in a few short months, becoming loyal partners of the Verdant Knights, capable of eradicating abominations. New starskiffs are born almost every day in Verdant Harbor. Their description bears striking resemblance to borisin beast ships.

   Organization and tactical groupings

   Beast ships can be organized into various fleets under the borisin. The Shepherds Fleet consisted of 16 beast ships and 325 battleships. Under the Bloodwind Pack, Kobo led a 3,000-strong beast ship fleet while Yewliho led the Preta fleet that boasted 300 ships.

   Types

   Battle Mount

   Borisin mechabeast bridle

   As soon as the adulthood ceremony ends, the borisin youths must walk into the weapon farm, then pick and tame their first battle mount among the "mechabeasts" that have been filtered and bred via gene witchcraft. Mechabeasts that consume the conquered as their feed have astounding agility, perception, and ferocity. On that night, borisin youths must chase and duel against the mechabeasts. Dying to the beasts is considered the result of cowardice.

   The borisin youths trip the desired mount to the ground and tie the bridle, which is inlaid with neural spike whips, onto the animal's neck. The beast will be stunned through telepathy with its future master and become as tame as if they already received hundreds of whiplashes. When the beast willingly carries the master on its back, the youth is considered a full-fledged borisin sorya. The borisin mechabeast bridle then becomes the recorder of wars, the history of their battles throughout their lives, and the reins will gradually become full of scratches, knots, and accessories.

   Servant ship

   A servant ship is identifiable by the swollen gland on its forehead and it's control center is distributed through separate locations. Yancui once hired a team of two Armed Archaeologists to launch an attack on a lone wounded servant beast ship in order to identify it's taste.

   Special attack ship

   Special attack ships have up to ten brains as their control center distributed throughout their body.

   Great Mothership

   Pack Chiefs may command a great beast ship. Normally, wounded beast ships would be fed to the great mothership.

   Notable beast ships

   Windguard

   Windguard was a monstrously huge mechabeast created by the Denizens of Abundance that pulverized Cloud Knight defense forces as though they were ants. Yanqing went face-to-face with the giant mechabeast, claiming its head and routing the enemy to the point of collapse.

   Gigantes

   Gigantes was a mechabeast war pawn that at least ten times larger than young Jingliu. She broke all the swords she brought with her and only managed to leave a few dozen cuts on it's gigantic body. She was whacked away by it's enormous hand and in a split moment before it could kill her, an arrow filled with blazing fire blew off the Gigantes' head.

   Trivia

   Etymology

   兽 shòu means "beast," and 舰 jiàn means "ship." The term beast ship was used to refer to a Chinese warship with animal-shaped carvings on its hull by Chinese poet Wen Tingyun.

    Genius Society

    The Imaginary Implosion Pulse was a weapon of mass destruction created by Genius Society #79, Calderon Chadwick. After the events of Adventure Mission The Trees At Peace, the weapon came into possession of Genius Society #83, Herta.

    History

    In early 2156 AE, a representative of the Technology Department of the IPC, Dudley, recruited Chadwick to create a weapon of mass destruction to safeguard against threats such as the Antimatter Legion and the Annihilation Gang. Chadwick worked with a team of researchers to complete the weapon at a classified location.

    At some point during the weapon's development, Genius Society #76 Screwllum was invited to observe a detonation test.

    The weapon was eventually deployed against the Antimatter Legion when its vanguards threatened IPC trade routes. According to the estimation of IPC's artificial intelligence systems prior to the detonation, the collateral damage included 24 planets, three of which hosted civilizations of Grade D or above. Screwllum later recounted that the detonation killed millions of people and destroyed countless lives.

    After the detonation, Chadwick disbanded the team and took crucial data to prevent the weapon from falling into the wrong hands. The IPC released a statement condemning the detonation, conducted an internal review, and removed the higher-ups who ordered it, but continued to pursue the technology. Seeking Chadwick's knowledge, they eventually tracked him down, abducted him, and placed him under house arrest.

    Unbeknownst to the IPC, Chadwick previously contacted Screwllum to obtain the Selective Blocking Agent, a drug which suppressed any knowledge related to the Imaginary Implosion Pulse. Unable to extract any useful information from him in life, the IPC used Garden of Recollection technology to preserve his memory and consciousness in a Memory Bubble. The bubble was later kept by The Family on Penacony in a room in The Reverie Hotel, while his consciousness was supervised by the Bloodhound Family in the Dreamscape

    With the help of the Trailblazer, Screwllum eventually learned about the bubble and managed to convince The Family to transfer it to the Herta Space Station. There, in the Seclusion Zone, he and Herta put his consciousness to rest. Before fading away, Chadwick entrusted all his knowledge on imaginary theory and application, including the Imaginary Implosion Pulse, to Herta, in hopes of establishing a deterrence system to counterbalance the IPC.

    Herta later described herself as the "keyholder of the Imaginary Implosion Pulse." After the battle with Irontomb, she has looked into advancing the practical applications of the technology.

    War Among the Aeons

    Type

    Lore

    A war among the Aeons is a conflict that involves two or more Aeons. According to Kafka, it is one of the three ways to kill an Aeon. There have been multiple wars among the Aeons waged across time, with a prominent example being the conflict between Tayzzyronth and Oroboros.

    Known Wars

    Swarm Disaster

    The first war among the Aeons during the Swarm Disaster started when the spreading of Tayzzyronth and the Swarm reached its peak, Oroboros appeared before THEM and consumed countless members of the Swarm alongside a multitude of worlds. Ena found this war disrupting the Order of the universe, and called for a deal with Qlipoth to deal with both Tayzzyronth and Oroboros.

    This war spanned five Amber Eras as it affected two-thirds of all the living worlds in the universe by the end of the war as Oroboros suddenly vanished, never to be seen again.

    Tayzzyronth continued to propagate endlessly when Oroboros vanished until the second war among the Aeons during the Swarm Disaster started, as Qlipoth, with the assistance of Aha, Akivili, HooH, and Xipe struck Tayzzyronth, stripped THEM of THEIR concepts, and sealed THEM in amber.

    Yaoshi and Lan

    Lan harbors an intense hatred towards Yaoshi driven by the devastation the Abundance caused on THEIR homeworld, as Lan has kept hunting Yaoshi down, with notable events such as severing the Ambrosial Arbor and manifesting upon the Consternation Starzone. Lan continues shooting THEIR Lux Arrows to planets infested by the Abundance.

    Under the name of The Hunt, the Xianzhou Alliance participates in this war as they hunt down the Denizens of Abundance that follow Yaoshi.

    Fourth Instant

    The war began when Irontomb destroyed the universe as the Fourth Instant calculated by Nous drew nearer. Herta connected to Nous in an attempt to rewrite the Fourth Instant, adding the Trailblazer as a variable within it. However, Nous, having already gazed upon the Trailblazer, revealed that the Fourth Instant was not the birth of Irontomb, but the War Among Aeons instead. Just before disconnecting from Nous, Herta foresaw that the Fourth Instant would unfold as a chain of events, with the victory over Irontomb being only the first step in that sequence.

    At present, the Aeons involved in this war are Nanook, Fuli, and Nous.

    Trivia

    The eighth Lord Ravager confronting Yaoshi.

    In an alternate possibility foreseen by Elio where the Astral Express went to Melustanin instead of Amphoreus, the Xianzhou Alliance would have strayed from the Trailblaze and met its destined end. With the ascension of the eighth Lord Ravager through Jingliu and the Lightning-Lord, they would wage war against Yaoshi, their wings signaling the start of the present war among the Aeons instead.

    Nihility

    A Shadow of IX or Shadow of Nihility is an unintended creation of IX, the Aeon of Nihility, that exists in many forms across the universe.

    Description

    It is believed by scholars that places where the space-time curvature are most extreme are Shadows of IX. When a Shadow of IX appears, its most prominent trait is the creation of Self-Annihilators, beings who have entered the Shadow of IX and from that moment have lost the meaning of their existence. Shadows of IX can appear in numerous forms, such as the "Black Great Sun" which threatened to destroy Izumo and Takamagahara before Acheron destroyed both planets using the Shadow of IX. Another Shadow of IX appeared in a Memory Bubble sealed away by a faceless woman in a Memory Zone. This was later broken open by a Self-Annihilator and eventually destroyed by a group of Arbitrators.

    The Self-Annihilators' connections to Shadows of IX goes deeper than just a form of transformation. As theorized by Dr. Primitive, as Self-Annihilators aimlessly traverse the cosmos, they also cast the shadow of the Aeon around the universe. As for the few who can single-handedly withstand the encroachment of Nihility on their existences, their journey of self-annihilation is drawn out to infinity, and the road they walk is like a shadow of IX cast in the world. When the Doctors of Chaos created the Tonic of Efficacious Chaos, one of its side effects was causing Self-Annihilators to behold a Shadow of IX.

    The Plaguemarks, also known as the Traces of Abundance, are powerful artifacts bearing the power of Yaoshi the Aeon of Abundance that reside in the Hexafleet of the Xianzhou Alliance.

    It is unknown if the Xianzhou Cangcheng, the Xianzhou Daiyu, or the Xianzhou Yuanqiao had plaguemarks before they were destroyed.

    History

    Thousands of years before the main story, the Xianzhou Alliance, originally a fleet of nine ships, embarked on a voyage to seek out Yaoshi for immortality. After finding Yaoshi, the Xianzhou Luofu was gifted with the Ambrosial Arbor, a giant tree that took root on the ship. The ancestors of the Luofu people ate its fruits and were blessed with longevity. However, this came with a heavy price: what resulted was population expansion and diminishing resources. Other beings attacked the Xianzhou to take their sacred artifact, and countless atrocities were committed. Those who survived the war realized they were susceptible to mara, a condition long-life species suffer, turning them into "beasts." They began to resent the gift bestowed to them by Yaoshi.

    Other plaguemarks include the Lunar Embryo on the Yaoqing, the Primordial Flame on the Zhuming, the Miniature Myriads on the Fanghu, and the Fallow Earth on the Yuque.

    In the Year 4800 Star Calendar, the five lineages of the Vidyadhara made an alliance on the Yuque, putting their sacred vow into writing: "This oath shall remain unbroken, standing stronger than even earth and steel." Glaciator Marum signed the covenant with the Alliance on behalf of the Vidyadhara, and the five High Elders were bound to keep watch over the respective plaguemarks of each Xianzhou ship. As a reward for their watch over the plaguemarks, the Alliance granted the Vidyadhara the Xianzhou Fanghu to rule as an autonomous ship.

    Known Plaguemarks

    Ambrosial Arbor

    The Ambrosial Arbor is a large tree on the Xianzhou Luofu. It once bore fruits that bestowed long life to the Xianzhou Natives. The immortality brought by the Arbor caused population expansion, diminishing resources, and the condition known as mara. Other beings attacked the Xianzhou to take the Arbor.

    When the Vidyadhara signed the covenant with the Alliance to watch over the plaguemarks, Imbibitor Lunae Yubie, high elder of the Luofu at the time, made the decision to flood Scalegorge Waterscape with the waters of the ancient sea in order to help the Luofu seal the Ambrosial Arbor. The statue at Dragonvista Rain Hall was erected in honor of this.

    The Arbor was severed in the Flaming Catastrophe War around Year 3400 Star Calendar.

    Around 30 years after the Third Abundance War that occurred in Year 8072 Star Calendar, the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus revived the Arbor with the power of a Stellaron. Phantylia took control of the Arbor and possessed a body created by the Arbor after the defeat of the Disciples. It went dormant after Phantylia was defeated.

    Primordial Flame

    The Primordial Flame, also known as the Flint Emperor, was the leader of the heliobi, beings of pure energy with the power to possess people's bodies. After the heliobi were defeated in a war with the Xianzhou, the craftsmen of the Xianzhou Zhuming imprisoned the Flint Emperor in a furnace and used it as a power source and to forge various divine weapons. During the Flaming Catastrophe War around Year 3400 Star Calendar, the Xianzhou hero that would later become the Reignbow Arbiter made a deal with the Flint Emperor. The Reignbow allowed the Flint Emperor to possess their body in return for the heliobi's power. When the war ended, the Flint Emperor left behind part of their body, although no traces of the Reignbow were found.

    Lunar Embryo

    The Lunar Embryo is the plaguemark of the Xianzhou Yaoqing. It was created by the Borisin Warhead Duran through the sacrifice of Borisins and Foxians to the Redspring created by Yaoshi. It later led to the creation of a heart shaped like a crimson moon that was passed down from Duran to each succeeding Warhead. It allows the Borisin Warhead to turn Foxians into Borisins by infecting them with the Warhead's blood.

    The Crimson Moon has been consumed by Feixiao and is presumably under her control.

    Fallow Earth

    The Fallow Earth is a mineral deposit and the plaguemark of the Xianzhou Yuque. It was made by people so that the Fallow Earth never exhausted itself.

    The Fallow Earth has been used for creating various products, including bricks for Xianzhou architecture, starskiffs, medicine, and Jade Abacus technology.

    Miniature Myriads

    The Miniature Myriads are the plaguemark of the Xianzhou Fanghu. It is said to have "beautiful waters."

    Planarcadia

    A creation ritual unique to Planarcadia. Uses the drawing of forms and the injection of Wishpower to create the possible thing and bring it into reality. Those who wield this art are known as artists. All imagenesis activities on the planet are strictly regulated by the Council.

    Loading Screen: Imagenesis

    Imagenesis is the art of creating imagenae through the use of Wishpower. Those who practice imagenesis are called Imagenists. They are mainly trained at Graphia Academy.

    Description

    Sculpt "matter" from "wishes," and a new life is imagenated into being: From the trembling of the first biological macromolecule to the bellowing of industrial-scale synthesized life clusters, artificial life ceased to be a problem long before the First Great Prosperity. Yet the art of imagenesis in Planarcadia has left an open question mark on the very frontier of life sciences.

    If you're a first-time visitor to Planarcadia, prepare to have your mind blown. It feels like a story come to life, where wispae bounce around, mechatrons march by, and thundercoils coil atop sky-high towers. Here, on soil blessed by the Elation, the collective consciousness of joy, sorrow, folklore, pop culture, and all our deepest fears and desires congeals into "Wishpower," giving birth to creations known as "imagenae."

    If you're surprised enough, it might even manifest as an imagenae to greet you. Will it be a Sneezebug, a Funhouse Mirror, or a Nosewalker? Who knows!

    Throughout its long history, a social system coexisting with imagenesis was established in Planarcadia, giving rise to the profession of "artists," those who use their brushes to give form to the imagenae and specialize in creation. Artists trace the art of imagenesis back to the artist "Graphia," but the history of imagenesis itself stretches back much further. As far back as the era when Aha raised Phantasmoon over Ahatopia, the earliest imagenated lifeforms wandered the lands touched by its moonlight.

    Unlike genetic editing or inorganic algorithms, imagenesis is akin to Yaoshi sprinkling mud with willow branches to create life out of thin air, a phenomenon that leaves countless scholars baffled. The Intelligentsia Guild chalks it up as "a localized anomaly caused by the Path energy of Elation," but the residents of Planarcadia prefer a more down-to-earth explanation: Planarcadia has long learned to coexist with fantasy. In other words, this was a city built on stories from the very beginning.

    Data Bank, Terms

    Overview

    Imagenesis was a natural process that happened during the waxing of the Phantasmoon, where the Phantasmoon would trigger humanity's Wishpower, suppliying energy from the Elation to nearby substances, creating conditions for imagenae to come alive, however they lacked intelligence.

    Graphia, using the basis of art, managed to invent imagenetic technology, which allows the designing of more complex and intelligent imagenae.

    There is a type of imagenesis named Spirit Painting, where artists directly imbue their paints with Wishpower or dip their brushes into Wishpower.

    Steps

    There are steps to imagenesis:

    1. Funnelling the volume of wishpower towards the substance.
    2. Invoking to conceptualize the desired imagenae.
    3. Shaping the imagenae, determining their temperament and initial impressions on others.
    4. Imbuing wishpower to complete the imagenae, relying on emotional intuition. However, this step can be skipped if the artist uses Spirit Painting. However, Post-Imbuement can compensate for the risks of Spirit Painting.
    5. Feeding the imagenae.

    Techniques

    When shaping the imagenae, there are two Techniques:

    • Classical Techniques, such as oil painting or Xianzhou ink-wash styles. This Technique creates more human-like imagenae and those that can achieve self-perpetuation.
      • Orchs and Lightpaws are classified as imagenae created with Classical Techniques.
    • Modern Techniques, such as abstract and conceptual art. This Technique is used for creating imagenae with high practical utility, although they cannot maintain their physical forms for long periods of time.
      • Objects and rooms can become imagenae through Modern Techniques.

    History

    Graphia invented imagenetic technology during the Cindearth Age, and taught the Resisters the art. They fought against the Antimatter Legion with the first complex imagenae.

    During the Worlds Reborn Initiative, aether editing technology from Punklorde and imagenetic technology managed to develop each other greatly, leading to the birth of Aether Spirits.

    With the Faekind Protection Act, imagenae created from imagenesis are now given the same rights as a human. Additionally, with the Imagenist Management Regulations, the art of imagenesis is now regulated by the Interastral Peace Corporation.

    Trivia

    • Imagenesis is a portmanteau of the words "image" and "genesis."
    • 幻造 Genzou means "illusion creation." It is homophonous to the word 幻想 Gensou, meaning "fantasy."

    Planarcadia Astropolis

    A creature born from imagenesis that has various wondrous abilities due to the imagination of its creator. It relies on Wishpower to sustain itself, so if not bathing in the light of the Phantasmoon, it vanishes soon.

    Loading Screen: Imagenae

    Imagenae, historically known as strangelings, and rarely, Faekind, are a species of creature that inhabit Planarcadia, created from Wishpower.

    Description

    Imagenae are creatures which populate the world of Planarcadia. They are sustained through Wishpower, a phenomenon on Planarcadia drawing from the Path of Elation. Each imagenae is driven by their internal core, gaining wishpower from the Phantasmoon or human beings, while their body is composed of a discrete matter. Studies into these cores are difficult, so much about how they work remain speculation. Imagenae are sustained through a constant supply of Wishpower, otherwise they will degrade into wispae.

    Creation

    The creation of imagenae can occur either as a natural phenomenon on Planarcadia, created through the passive Wishpower of the Phantasmoon, or through the process of imagenesis. The exact origins of imagenae, and their evolution, have been lost to time, leaving only room for theory. The most popular account is that imagenae were first created by Graphia, when she invented the art of imagenesis during the Cindearth Age.

    While it is possible to attempt the creation of any kind of imagenae, going too grand will often result in failure. Due to Planarcadia's gradual shift to realism, the prospect of creating large imagenae has dimmed. Currently, the Thundercoil is the biggest imagenae to be created. Attempting to create imagenae of this manner is a serious crime, and the sanitarium of Duomension City is filled with these failed creatures. It is outright illegal to create humans through imagenesis.

    Aberrations

    Aberration is the term coined for imagenae deemed "uncontrollable and degenerated." These imagenae are not created intentionally, and are instead a byproduct of environments rich with energy or Wishpower. This process has been directly compared to how Pathstriders function. Due to the conditions of their creation, they are more likely to appear during the Phantasmoon Games, due to any "miracles" offered by Supplicants, oversaturated Wishpower, and concentrated generation of aberrant disasters. It is the responsibility of the Department of Aberration Defense to deal with aberrations when they appear. Graphia Academy teaches Aberration Prevention as one of its courses.

    Culture

    Culture around imagenae has significantly changed with the oversight of the Interastral Peace Corporation. The IPC heavily pushed for the introduction of basic human rights to the imagenae, which saw the introduction of several laws to better introduce imagenae to human society. One of these laws, the Faekind Protection Act is currently in its fifth edition, and dictates the responsibilities for both human and imagenae kind. One major change, was the official recognition of "imagenae" as the species name, rather then "strangeling," which is seen as outdated.

    Trivia

    Some types of imagenae are likely inspired by various creatures in Japanese folklore. The ploos resemble kappa, small water-dwelling creatures with beaks. The orchs resemble oni, ogre-like humanoids that have bright and unnatural skin tones. The furbos resemble bake-danuki, a shapeshifting version of the real-life Japanese raccoon dog. The ghosts are similar to yūrei, spirits trapped in the mortal realm due to a strong emotion or obsession experienced in their last moments. The origin story of the moonlull is reminiscent of the moon rabbit.

    Etymology

    Imagenae is a play on the word imagine, referencing their sustained existence on Wishpower. 幻造种 huànzàozhǒng translates to "phantasmal creation-kind." The word 幻 huàn, lit. "fantastical, phantasmal" is also part of the Chinese name of the Phantasmoon (幻月 huànyuè).

    The Xianzhou Luofu

    Immersias are a form of Xianzhou entertainment, bearing notable similarities to video games due to their interactive nature, and films. Aditionally, they are a form of Virtual Reality (VR) media, encompassing all five senses.

    Overview

    Immersias are a Xianzhou Foxian art form utilizing their pheromones and magic, alongside advanced artifex technology, to produce controllable illusions. The Foxian usage of illusions is considered ancient. The vast majority of immersia directors are Foxians themselves, due to their innately keen mental prowess, extraordinary meticulousness and ability, though other species occasionally take that role as well.

    There are multiple companies involved with immersias, including Spooky Fantasy Entertainment, Elsholtzia Fantasy Entertainment, and Mellow-Golden-Mayor Immersia Club. Additionally, outside of the classic Butterfly Immersia, Interastral Peace Entertainment has also started releasing their own form of immersia named Emphatic Immersia.

    The magazine Butterfly Shadow is the most authoritative publication in the Butterfly Immersia industry of the Xianzhou Alliance.

    The Exalting Sanctum Immersia Festival is a festival where immersia directors and screenwriters receive awards for their works.

    Amphoreus

    The Chrysos War was a series of wars that took place in Amphoreus.

    Overview

    Before the Flame-Chase Journey began, the Chrysos Heirs waged war against each other over who was a "legitimate" heir of the prophecy. It is believed it was a conflict backed by the gods. During the 33,550,336th eternal recurrence, the first Chrysos War began around the 3770th Light Calendar year, not long after Tribios split into a thousand versions of herself and travelled across Amphoreus to spread the prophecy. The war lasted a century. The first Chrysos War led to the defeat of the Chrysos Heirs and their forces. It was later reignited due to unknown reasons.

    The city-states of Loukas, Icaria, and Corinth formed an allied army and laid siege to Okhema. The alliance was successful in capturing Okhema, however an unknown army appeared, lead by Cerydra with Hysilens on the front lines. They won against the allied army, and Cerydra's army marched to Okhema where she declared herself the supreme ruler of Okhema. She would then purge the Council of Elders, becoming the only ruling force in Okhema. Under her rule, Okhema would regain is strength and lay the foundations for prosperity.

    Cerydra then raised a vast army and conquered the opposing city-states one by one, until the final opponent, the King of Corinth, threw himself from a window, effectively ending the Chrysos War and cementing Cerydra's legacy and paving the way for the first Flame-Chase.

    Scholars' Strife

    Type

    Historical Events

    The Scholars' Strife was an internal conflict in the Intelligentsia Guild that followed The Second Emperor's War. It was a war where the ownership of the Scepters was disputed.

    Description

    After Rubert II's death, with the IPC's supervision, the Emperor's legacy, the Scepter system, was completely inherited by the Intelligentsia Guild. This legacy that far surpassed human intelligence fueled rumors among the schools — With the Scepters' computational power, they could create a perfect scholar that swore allegiance to them, a genius belonging to the Intelligentsia Guild possessing unlimited life, inexhaustible knowledge repository, and endless research tools.

    To realize this goal, and for the interests of the various schools, the Scholars' Strife lifted its curtains.

    To contend for even more Scepter allocation, the various schools, with the School of Interstellar Energy Resources at the head, attacked one another to get more shares of the legacy. What was once a purely scientific pursuit gradually devolved into some cloak-and-dagger competition, and with the intervention of the IPC and other external powers, a shadow of a proxy war was cast over the Scholars' Strife. The Guild's knowledge and ideals were no longer pure, leaving only ugly conflicts behind.

    The Intelligentsia Guild's internal strife brought many opportunities for History Fictionologists. In this current era, historical records related to the Scholars' Strife have been distorted beyond recognition. The only piece of truth that people can glean is that the Scepters were completely disabled during the war. The legacy rotted under uncertain circumstances, and the war came to a close in a chaotic mess of unresolved conflicts.

    The farcical war left almost nothing of value behind. Only one lone seeker of knowledge left behind the "solitary waves theory conundrum" for future generations at the end of their relentless pursuit, the only treasure that bore fruit after the dust settled.

    Data Bank, Terms

    History

    Background

    Rubert II created a system called the Scepters System. It is a cluster of inorganic bionic neurons which functioned as his external brain. They were widely distributed across the Machine Empire to complete the observations, extrapolations, and interference orders passed on by Rubert II. After the Second Emperor's War, numerous Scepter units were handed over to the Intelligentsia Guild by the IPC for research.

    It had incredible computational power as even just a fraction of it would alleviate a lot of work and speed up research progress by a significant amount. One singular Scepter could be the size of a planet.

    To come to an agreement on the distribution of the Scepters, the Guild decided to hold a Futurological Congress on Sipohia. Stander Dahl proposed that whoever possessed the most valuable research and could solve greater problems would own the Scepters. This however makes the audience angry. The School of Interstellar Energy Resources intervened and proposed a different suggestion: To use 95% of the computation power to the four Cosmic Conundrums, which was the chosen suggestion.

    Conflict

    When Patavia Adler Sommerville's share of the ten-thousandth of the Scepter's computational power was revoked after Mollett sabotaged her experiments, the realization that the Intelligentsia Guild is putting a monopoly on the Scepters sparks the Scholars' Strife.

    Due to an oversight in Scholar Crouch's experiment, he accidentally let out the Anti-Organic Virus. It ran amok and infected countless scholars, making them think that they were Meniks and serve the Rubert Empire. The infected scholars occupied the Scepters, yet some were killed by Polka Kakamond. It took the destruction of 122 Scepters to stop the scholars. Because of this incident, the School of Evolutionary Perfection, which Crouch was a part of, was dissolved.

    Capitalizing on this incident, the IPC starts reducing their funds to the various major schools.

    This caused a protest in the Cosmic Library Izmael, proclaiming to "return knowledge to knowledge itself." However, the Armed Archaeologists subdued them with numerous Non-lethal Suppression Weapons.

    On the border star Klostia, Eagleye and their zealots are spreading admission tickets for the Scholars' Strife and denouncing Relative Cognition. There, they exploded the outer wall of the base of the Intelligentsia Guild, rallying people to charge inside the building. To extinguish the spark of Relative Cognition, the Scepter there was used to destroy all the Synesthesia Beacons in the area.

    Near the end of the Scholars' Strife, Patavia eventually discovers the Scepter system core as a hidden star. She uses it to peer into the thoughts of Nous, and the leaking thoughts overloads the Scepters, paralyzing them level by level.

    Aftermath

    What Patavia comprehended when she peered into Nous' thoughts became the Solitary Waves Theory.

    Eventually, the Scepters were completely crippled with the questions of the scholars. They are now currently reformed as tourist spots.

    The Intelligenstia Guild wanted to use the History Fictionologists to cover up the events of the Scholars' Strife

The tournament is usually held on the Skysplitter, and the Alliance extends formal invitations to various parties in the cosmos to partake in the event.

    During the knockout rounds, if a popular team is defeated, they are eligible to return to the contest if enough people vote for their return. Occasionally, the contests allow for an informal invitational battle between contestants.

    After acquiring points from defeating other teams, the challengers can go against the ringmaster of the bracket.

    Story

    700 years prior to the events of the game, the Luofu hosted a Wardance ceremony. Igor of Jarilo-VI participated in the contest, eventually meeting ringmaster Jing Yuan in the finals. Igor's reason for participating was to find external assistance to help his home planet repel the Antimatter Legion, and despite being offered wealth and fame, declined it all. In the finals, Igor forfeited and left empty-handed back to his home planet, taking a picture with Jing Yuan before leaving. 300 years later, after Jing Yuan became Arbiter-General, he decided to extend an invitation to Igor's descendants on Jarilo-VI; even after being informed that the planet had been destroyed, he still had it sent out anyways.

    In August of Year 8100 Star Calendar, Jing Yuan invites the Astral Express Crew to the Wardance held on the Xianzhou Luofu. This Wardance is also attended by delegations from the Xianzhou Zhuming and the Xianzhou Yaoqing. Under pretense of enjoying the festivities, fellow Generals Huaiyan and Feixiao have actually been sent by Marshal Hua to question Jing Yuan for further details about the recent Ambrosial Arbor crisis.

    While the investigation is underway, borisin led by Mok Tok, assisted by dissident Vidyadhara Preceptors, infiltrate the Luofu and free Hoolay from the Shackling Prison, causing some unrest. To prevent the chaos from being realized by the majority of the populace, the generals proceed with the Wardance as expected while limiting overall traffic in order to force Hoolay to attack the Skysplitter. Hoolay heads for the Skysplitter, knowing that the ship was large enough to escape the Luofu through its Jade Gate. However, he is ultimately slain by Feixiao and Yanqing, putting an end to the borisins' chaos.

    With the borisin situation dealt with, the actual Wardance proceeds, with many parties partaking in the event. Notably, the people of Jarilo-VI were invited and chose to attend in order to establish relations with the rest of the cosmos, with Luka, Svarog, and Lynx serving as their representatives. Upon arriving, Luka learns that the invite was sent 400 years ago, but he is still allowed to enter the tournament as a contestant. Accompanied by journalist-in-training Carmella, he eventually runs into the Trailblazer, who agrees to help him as a coach. Luka eventually reaches the finals and faces Yanqing, though he ends up losing the match. Despite his loss, he is able to win the audience over and feels relieved, having been plagued with doubts when he arrived.

    A meeting with Jing Yuan reveals that the invitation that Jarilo-VI had received was the same one Jing Yuan had sent centuries ago, though their lack of external communications meant that the invitation was received later than expected. Pleased that Igor's wishes had been fulfilled, and wanting to make amends for his inability to help back then, Jing Yuan declares that the Alliance would help the people of Jarilo-VI as long as they needed.

    Trivia

    There are several achievements titled "Wardance" related to the Boss Enemy Cloud Knight Lieutenant: Yanqing.

    Historical Events

    World

    Penacony

    Penacony's Civil War was a period of internal conflict that followed the War of Independence, when the newly established Families of Penacony fell into civil strife. The conflict caused severe damage throughout the Dreamscape and took place during the early development of Penacony after its liberation from the Interastral Peace Corporation.

    History

    Following Penacony's War of Independence, seven family lineages emerged:

    Oak Family Alfalfa Family Bloodhound Family Iris Family Nightingale Family Lampmoth Family Blackplum Family

    Around ten years after the War of Independence, civil strife broke out among Penacony's Families. The fighting caused extensive destruction within the Dreamscape.

    During the civil war, Breukelen Tiernan worked alongside the Lampmoth Family to reopen the silver rail. During this operation, Tiernan was ambushed by surviving members of the Swarm and disappeared. He was presumed dead, prompting Mikhail Char Legwork to leave for the front lines. Tiernan was eventually rescued by the Galaxy Rangers.

    The early Families were themselves involved in violent struggles for power. Tantris, the first Family Head of the Iris Family, fell in love with an employee of the Interastral Peace Corporation. According to later accounts, this relationship eventually led to a bloody civil war.

    The conflict formed part of the turbulent period between Penacony's independence and its later development into the Land of the Dreams. Penacony's political order had not yet stabilized, and rivalry among the Families repeatedly threatened the society that had emerged after the revolt against the IPC.

    Aftermath

    Despite the destruction caused by the civil war, Penacony survived and continued developing its Dreamscape. The Families eventually became the major political and administrative powers governing Penacony.

    Tiernan did not return to Penacony after his disappearance. After being rescued by the Galaxy Rangers, he later joined them and participated in the crusade against Lord Ravager Zulo.

    Mikhail remained closely connected to Penacony's development and later became remembered as the Watchmaker.

    World

    Xianzhou Alliance

    The Xianzhou Civil War, also known as the "Living Catastrophe" of the Three Sufferings, was a devastating internal conflict within the Xianzhou Alliance during the Three Sufferings Era. It was fought primarily between the nobles who controlled the Alliance's resources and the "coarse," the disadvantaged masses who suffered under the social conditions created by immortality and unchecked population growth.

    Background

    The gift of immortality brought by Yaoshi and the Ambrosial Arbor caused the population of the Xianzhou to continuously expand. Over time, the long-life species realized the severe social problems caused by their immortality, but no humane solution could be found.

    Resources became increasingly concentrated in the hands of the venerable and the nobility, while the "coarse" lived without wealth, status, or purpose. The growing inequality and population crisis gradually developed into violent internal strife.

    In May of Year 3061 Star Calendar, the coarse rioted on the Xianzhou Yuque, but the rebellion was suppressed by the nobility.

    In April and July of Year 3062 Star Calendar, further coarse rebellions occurred on the Yuque. Both were suppressed.

    In August of Year 3063 Star Calendar, the assassination of a businessman aboard the Xianzhou Yaoqing threw the ship into turmoil. In November of the same year, the coarse rebelled again, attacking and killing elites before troops suppressed the uprising.

    Civil War

    By February of Year 3198 Star Calendar, chaos had spread throughout the Xianzhou fleet. The coarse master sent messages to each ship denouncing the privileged venerable, accusing them of monopolizing the blessings of the Abundance, wealth, status, and resources while treating the coarse and the young as worse than animals.

    The coarse launched an assault on the Xianzhou Zhuming and occupied a delve with an expeditionary force to fight against the nobles. The unrest developed into a full-scale civil war across the Alliance.

    The prolonged struggle between the nobles and the coarse became known as the "Living Catastrophe," one of the great calamities of the Three Sufferings Era.

    Destruction of the Xianzhou Yuanqiao

    In Year 3287 Star Calendar, the Xianzhou Yuanqiao was heavily damaged by the civil war. On November 21st, its engines stalled and the ship lost control.

    The Yuanqiao drifted into a red giant and was completely destroyed. All 130 billion people aboard the ship were killed.

    The destruction of the Yuanqiao devastated both the nobles and the coarse, leading the two sides to reach a ceasefire.

    Aftermath

    The civil war was followed almost immediately by another catastrophe. In December of Year 3287 Star Calendar, the remaining aurumatons revolted and began slaughtering nobles and coarse indiscriminately.

    Faced with a common enemy, the opposing factions were forced to cooperate against the aurumatons. After the conflict, the aurumatons were permanently stripped of their intelligence.

    The enormous loss of life during the Living Catastrophe and the aurumaton rebellion drastically reduced the Xianzhou population, temporarily easing the social pressures that had contributed to the civil war.

    The Xianzhou nevertheless had little time to recover. Around Year 3400 Star Calendar, Muldrasil, the star-devouring homeland of the Wingweavers, approached the Alliance and triggered the "Flaming Catastrophe." Still exhausted from the Civil War, the aurumaton rebellion, and their emigration efforts, the Xianzhou were pushed into another existential conflict.

    The Living Catastrophe became remembered as one of the darkest periods in Xianzhou history and one of the Three Sufferings that transformed the Alliance.

    Graphia Academy is an area in Planarcadia, unlocked during Trailblaze Mission Fundamentals of Imagenesis in the chapter Welcome to Arcadia.

    Points of Interest

    There are 10 Points of Interest in Graphia Academy:

    Main Building Foyer

    In fiction, school entrance lockers are always brimming with the aura of youth. But in reality, what clings to that space is often more than just an "aura of youth."

    Academy Atrium

    First-time visitors to the Academy are always awestruck by the artwork in the courtyard. But for the faculty and students who've been working and living here for years, even this magnificent sight has probably become just another part of the scenery.

    Main Building Corridor

    This hallway's the only route to the gymnasium, so all those sports-loving students have dubbed it the "Youth Boulevard."

    School Building Lobby

    Dean Seadrake always stands here, watching over every student from on high, which is exactly why so many students can't stand it. Only upon growing up do these students come to suddenly realize: Professor Seadrake truly burned itself out, forging its life into a crystal of devotion poured into their hearts.

    Old Campus at Twilight

    This place seems frozen outside of time itself, sealed away along with the truth behind it, waiting for someone to brush off the dust and crack it open once more.

    Student Dining Area

    A gathering spot for students. Rumor has it this is the gossip hub of the entire school. Whoever controls this little corner controls the flow of public opinion.

    Art Classroom

    In this very classroom sprout those destined to achieve miracles, and perhaps, those fated to bring about catastrophes. Who can say for sure what the future holds?

    Graphia Academy General Store

    The General Store at Graphia Academy has been completely transformed into a bizarre little shop under the management of its owner, "AAA Delivery, Contact Me." Anyone who manages to find something here that actually helps with their student life must be a bit unhinged.

    Star Rabbit @GraphiaAcademy

    Apical Throne

    Apical Throne

    Every school in Planarcadia has a throne for the "King of Delinquents." But since Graphia Academy has such a good school culture, the fights for the seat aren't exactly intense.

    Word has it that students regularly hold tournaments to compete for the right to use this throne. They call it the "Throne Defense Wars," and the winner is crowned a "throne-tier warrior."

    There's a Apical Throne Manual on the campus forum, mainly teaching readers how to safely land from a rocking chair using gymnastics moves. Way more practical than force analysis in physics class.

    Archives

    Archives

    Besides the usual administrative stuff, academic research, and student info, it also contains various versions of campus urban legends. But that's not the kicker. Here's the real deal: These files are alive, and they occasionally go for team outings in Yum Yum Alley!

    Accessing certain special files follows the "Quid Pro Quo" principle. For instance, when attempting to dig up dirt on a professor, your failed grades might mysteriously appear on the campus notice board. Please borrow with caution.

    Rumor has it that most of these archives were organized by the self-proclaimed detective, cursed object Froggy Whiteboard, nearby. In a sense, an archive administrator might be a more fitting path for him than a detective.

    Campus Bulletin Board

    Campus Bulletin Board

    "Welcome to Campus Talk Radio ♪ This is your beloved Radio Host..." The enthusiastic voice rings punctually with every class break bell, echoing through every corner of the room, "And now for the latest campus news..."

    As the bulletin board host, Mr. Broadcast had an impeccable work ethic and professionalism. Unfortunately, effort alone isn't always enough, as evidenced by the countless finger marks of varying sizes and depths on the volume slider.

    "Mr. Broadcast has three wonderful traits: Loud, chatty, and impossible to turn off."

    Classroom Rule #1: No dangerous items allowed, including erasers, correction tapes, and other hazardous materials!

    Word on the street is, if you get on good terms with the dialogue boxes in the classroom, they'll be happy to help you check in and answer questions.

    The colorful intruder stands out awkwardly against the black-and-white classroom. You can almost hear the dialogue boxes whispering their snide remarks: "What an outcast!"

    Comic Poster

    Comic Poster

    The Duck's Gratitude, a classic Planarcadia comic. It's been running for thirty years and counting!

    Due to the comic artist's habitual irregular delays, this comic tops the "Readers and Authors: Who Will Live Longer?" series chart.

    There's a rumor among graduates: If you take a photo in front of the poster before leaving campus, you might dream of it being updated.

    Drinking Station

    Drinking Station

    When you see this message, remember to drink some water. And don't forget, try not to drink too many sugary beverages!

    The eyes on the drinking station swiveled around playfully. It's the healthy hydration monitor of Graphia Academy.

    Forbidden Bookshelf

    Forbidden Bookshelf

    The room is dim, its murky light bringing no warmth, instead stirring up an unsettling feeling deep within.

    Oddly enough, besides the secret books and scrolls, there were even a few comic books about forbidden romance on the shelf. Well, they are forbidden books, I guess...

    Legend has it, these yellowed pages filled with secrets automatically filter their readers. Unauthorized readers can only see... the final chapter of a certain forbidden romance comic.

    Ms. Telly

    Ms. Telly

    The bulletin board regularly broadcasts important campus news in a newsletter format, including but not limited to: Event announcements, disciplinary notices, lost and found items, scholarship recipient lists...

    This bulletin board has always been managed by Ms. Telly. Everyone at school loves her, but surprisingly, no one remembers when she was actually hired.

    Perhaps because your gaze lingered too long on the screen, the paper cranes floating above the hall suddenly all turned to face you. Then, with an eerie electrical crackle, they spoke: "Would you... like to be on TV?"

    Seadrake, the Dean of Academic Affairs, left everyone in the dust in the vote count. People sure don't get tired when it comes to pranks.

    Onyx Ogre

    Onyx Ogre

    The character on the poster is "Onyx Ogre," from a famous detective comic. Despite having a peculiar condition where he's mistaken as the culprit 100% of the time, Onyx Ogre turns this disadvantage into a strength as he conducts investigations and searches for the truth.

    "Onyx Ogre" is hugely popular among teenagers, and thus he became the ambassador on campus public welfare posters.

    The poster's message reads: "Onyx Ogre's here to remind you! You must brush your teeth diligently every day to have pearly whites like mine!" Though due to the printing quality, his teeth appear rather yellow.

    A poster, jarringly out of place, has appeared on the archive room's blackboard. You remember seeing this Evanescia, with "With ears that sway like the feeble willows in a gentle breeze, and half-lidded eyes drowsy as autumn waters, ready to slumber"... and that "fateful encounter."

    You also remember her leading you by the hand to the Phantasmoon Courtyard, the ceremonial heart of the so-called "Phantasmoon Games." She called you the "Protagonist." Maybe being the protagonist means you get to visit the Courtyard again... Makes sense, right?

    Try to enter the Phantasmoon Courtyard.

    You are the invited guest. The Courtyard opens for you...

    (Enter the Phantasmoon Courtyard)

    I just wanna check out the painting of Evanescia.

    You gaze at the pink-haired girl in the painting, rendered in meticulous brushwork with delicate colors and an ethereal beauty. Her figure turns slightly to the side, as if a gentle breeze is flowing past, her garments rippling softly... You can't help but imagine yourself in her shoes. What could she be thinking right now?

    Fluffy Across the Blue?

    You know what, that actually makes way too much sense. Comics are all you ever think about.

    Movements of the Supplicants in the Phantasmoon Games?

    Hehe, a reasonable guess. After all, when you're in the Games, you see through yourself when you see through the other players.

    (Trailblazer)?

    Oh? You're saying this adorable pink-haired girl is thinking about you.

    She has some sweet fantasies.

    You also have rather grand fantasies.

    She's not thinking about anything at all.

    Wait, did she come off as a total airhead to you?

    Or are you feeling a bit empty-headed, too? Maybe you're just sleep-deprived.

    When you get the chance, why don't you ask Evanescia about it? I'm sure she'd be thrilled to chat with you.

    I was planning to leave.

    Of course. Paintings are eternal, but people come and go as they please. You're welcome back anytime.

    Storage Cabinet

    Storage Cabinet

    Supposedly a public storage cabinet set up by the school for students' temporary storage needs, but few actually keep personal belongings in it. Rumor has it that it's become the campus's designated unofficial confessional.

    Pondering what to put in an empty cabinet is a fill-in-the-blank question in its own right.

    As the gym's storage room, aside from the usual sports equipment, you'll also find a bunch of random junk from the arts and culture clubs, a clear sign of the power gap between different clubs on campus.

    In movies and TV shows, the gymnasium is always bustling with noise, while the storage room feels like a private island perfect for heart-to-hearts. But hey, why not just say it to everyone over the school broadcast system instead?

    You looked around and didn't find any badminton equipment stored here. What a shame. Seriously though, this sport should be way more popular, don't you think?

    Student Calligraphy Exhibition

    One of the activities organized by the school to encourage students' well-rounded development and cultivate their personal interests. However, it's said that participants were more interested in the course credits awarded after registration than the actual calligraphy.

    You might require some imagination to figure out what's actually written on some of these calligraphy works. They look like paranormal scrawling or an electrocardiogram reading to you.

    You wonder: how many of those masterful strokes were actually the results of students' frantic, last-minute cram on the night before assignments were due.

    For the sake of the teachers, students, the dean, and everyone else involved, I'm telling you: drop it.

    They say people skilled in deduction can piece together tons of hidden information from the tiniest details and objects... Like right now, through these seemingly unrelated items, you determine this is the teacher's desk.

    Worldbreaker Waves

    Worldbreaker Waves, the final masterpiece by Graphia. She's the legendary artist who managed to imagenate an entire dimension, capturing all of Planarcadia within her work.

    "While using Dovebrook water to erase a mistake, it unexpectedly formed the shape of waves, so I wielded my brush to create this scene, illustrating the wonders of natural forms."

    Every year, freshmen are told to bow to the highest wave. Legend has it that when a senior student once made a sincere bow, water droplets from the courtyard splattered onto his exam paper the next day, helping him get three multiple-choice questions right.

    Planarcadia

    The Graphia Family is a family of prominent Planarcadian artists descended from the legendary artist Graphia. Members of this family have the surname "Murata."

    Overview

    According to legend, Graphia ascended a tower at the end of the world, one that encompassed all existence. There, she witnessed the suffering of mortals and descended to deliver them from hardship. As a reminder of her purpose, she adopted the surname Murata. Over time, numerous imagenesis apprentices came to identify themselves as inheritors of Graphia's art. As a result, the term "Graphia Family" refers collectively to both her descendants and those who study under her lineage, regardless of origin. All members of the family use the surname "Murata," which, according to Himeko, means "to go where there are cries, to go where there are flames."

    History

    Graphia first appeared in ancient Benzaitengoku during the Cindearth Age, where she joined coalition forces against the Antimatter Legion. She developed a systematic form of imagenesis, leading to the imagenae, which provided the coalition with immense support and manpower. Near the end of the war, Graphia used the Phantasmoon Games to seal the world within paintings, creating what is now known as the World in Canvas. Following this act, she vanished without a trace.

    The history of the Graphia Family is preserved through a secret family chronicle, continuously expanded and passed down through generations. It serves as both a warning and a guide for descendants who may one day seek to break the curse. Despite tragedy and decline, the clan's influence endures through its art, its teachings, and the lasting impact of imagenesis on the World in Canvas.

    Notable Members

    Graphia

    Sealed Benzaitengoku in her painting to stop Asat Pramad's invasion against the world.

    Huear

    Graphia's eldest daughter. She refined imagenesis into a formal system and authored the three-volume treatise The Natural Principles of Imagenesis. She created numerous imagenae that brought joy to the world. Died at age 31 from the Weathering Curse.

    Lumirae †

    Graphia's second son and founder of Aberrant Defense techniques. He fought monsters that entered the world during its sealing and became the subject of many legends. Disappeared at age 66 after succumbing to madness.

    Sola †

    A pioneer in attempting to cure the Weathering Curse through imagenesis. Her experiments transformed her into a hybrid existence between human and imagenae. Her work laid the foundation for imagenae medicine. Died at age 33 from the Weathering Curse.

    Nephea †

    A tragic figure who, in an attempt to cure herself, accepted a "devil's offer" requiring the sacrifice of others. She unleashed monsters upon the world before being slain by a coalition led by her own father. She is remembered as the "Daughter of Monstrous Beasts."

    Hiro †

    A victor of the Phantasmoon Games. After obtaining an audience with Aha, he disappeared. Attempted to cure the Weathering Curse but failed.

    Lunebright †

    Not much is known about Lunebright, but she once participated in the Phantasmoon Games and lost against a History Fictionologist, "Crimson Skybull."

    Roan †

    A once-in-a-century artistic genius. Died at age 29 from the Weathering Curse.

    Ryusuke †

    Husband of Roan, formerly known as Ryusuke Pissarro of Bathia. He later became the dean of Graphia Academy and head of the Graphia Family.

    Himeko

    Daughter of Roan and the last surviving descendant of Graphia. She was a Supplicant during the Bloodstained Games. Left a grave behind after the Phantasmoon Games concluded and was presumed deceased, but in truth, she repaired the Astral Express and departed Planarcadia to become a Nameless.

    Weathering Curse

    See also: Weathering Curse

    Graphia's salvation of the world came at a cost. Her bloodline became afflicted with the Weathering Curse, a hereditary condition with differing effects; the female descendants experience physical deterioration, their bodies decaying like aged paintings, while the male descendants suffer mental collapse, eventually succumbing to madness.

    There are several hypotheses about the causes of the curse but none of them have proven:

    The Sacrifice Theory — To save the world, Graphia had no choice but to trade her own life and the lives of her descendants through the Phantasmoon Games in exchange for the power to duomensionalize a planet in an instant.

    The Corrosion Theory — During Graphia's battles against the Antimatter Legion, she was struck by enemy forces. The corrosion of Destruction took root deep within her bloodline, cursing the Graphia family to eternal unrest.

    The Genetic Theory — The genes of the Graphia ancestors may contain certain hereditary material that causes descendants to have an increasingly higher probability of developing the condition after reaching a certain age phase, ultimately leading to death from the "Weathering Curse."

    The ancestor of Planarcadia, the first painter who sealed the world into the painting. Their legacy, Worldbreaker Waves, passed down to the world.

    Loading Screen: Graphia

    Murata Graphia (Japanese: 無量塔グラフィエ) is a mission-exclusive NPC on Planarcadia. She is the legendary artist who once sealed the ancient Benzaitengoku into a painting. She is also the namesake of Graphia Academy and Graphia Family.

    Profile

    Graphia is a mysterious figure and the subject of many legends. She once saw the Astral Express crash on Planarcadia, and it inspired her to fight against her adoptive father, Asat Pramad, wishing she could be one of the Nameless one day. She invented the art of creating imagenae, also known as imagenesis. Alongside that, she created the artwork "Worldbreaker Waves," which is now located in Graphia Academy.

    She is currently alive through her connection with the barrier that protects the World in Canvas.

    History

    Asat Pramad found Graphia as an infant on the verge of death among the ruins of Planarcadia over a thousand years ago. Seeing her cold and lifeless body reminded him of the Parable of the Masked Fools: Aha climbed the highest branch of the Imaginary Tree and saw the void, the stars operating like machinery, and how meaning bows before nothingness. Aha continued looking until THEY saw a baby fall to the ground and cry. This led Asat to infuse Graphia with the power of Destruction, rebirthing her as a Voidranger. He then taught her to paint monstrous beasts using the power of the Voracity in order to carry out the Antimatter Legion's will.

    Eventually, the Astral Express crashed on Ahatopia and stood like an infinite tower which also became the inspiration for her name, "Murata." Witnessing the surviving Nameless battle the monsters and protect the people of Ahatopia, Graphia underwent a change of heart and betrayed Asat Pramad, choosing instead to save the Ahatopians alongside the Nameless. In Amber Era 2148, she later entered the Phantasmoon Games in and, together with seven other Supplicants and Evanescia, managed to temporarily halt Asat Pramad's advance. Gathering all the Wishpower she could, she ultimately sealed Ahatopia within a special two-dimensional plane, ensuring that Asat Pramad could never reach the sealed fragment of Oroboros at the world's core.

    Subsequently, she went into a slumber within the deepest reaches of the scroll. However, Graphia and her kin paid the price for daring to defy their fate as children of Destruction. The after effects of her sealing of the world manifested as the Weathering Curse, a condition that was passed down to her descendants and slowly eats away at them.

    Graphia had two known children, a daughter named Huear and a son named Lumirae. Before her disappearance at the end of the Cindearth Age, she entrusted her children with the protection of Ahatopia and the recovery of the "Murata," which had sunk into the depths of the world. Many adventurers and descendants of Graphia attempted to find the tower, but all ended in failure. Professor Francois, a scholar of ancient Benzaitengoku, proposed that the Murata is actually a massive Space Fissure and that Graphia's actions indicated that she might have been an Emanator of Elation, but this theory was discredited after no Space Fissure was found while the IPC construction teams were developing every area of Planarcadia.

    Trivia

    According to legend, Graphia drew water from the Dovebrook to wash her paintbrushes.

    According to Asat Pramad, her name was her commission to paint the world and "carve a trace of our lasting glory, just before the world meets its destruction."

    Graphia has the following aliases: Founding Artist Mother of Imagenesis Fire Rejector Sovereign of All Paintings Source of All Schools PhotoGraphia (Furbobocom)

    The Chinese is 怎么绘世呢 Zěnme Huìshì ne, a pun on 绘世 Huìshì, "Graphia" and 怎么回事 zěnme huíshì, "What happened?"

    When converted into the boss Murata Graphia, Founding Artist by Asat Pramad, she wears the Astral Express badge as an earring.

    The boss ability "Grand Vista: Devourer Murata" summons a fiery demonic train that resembles the Astral Express.

    HoYoverse Shared VAs

    Graphia shares the same English voice actor, Jessica Osborne, with Jemma in Genshin Impact.

    Graphia shares the same Chinese voice actor, Zhang Anqi (张安琪), with: Mortis Eden in Honkai Impact 3rd Rosaria, Dunyarzad, and Lauma in Genshin Impact Velina Airgid in Zenless Zone Zero

    Graphia shares the same Korean voice actor, Kim Bo-min (김보민), with: Rin Tohsaka Caesar King in Zenless Zone Zero

    Etymology

    無量 Muryō means "immeasurable," and 塔 tō means "tower." Together, 無量塔 Muryōtō means "immeasurable tower," alluding to the Astral Express that Graphia encountered, which was eventually called the Tower of Infinity.

    Graphia's name in Chinese consists of the characters 绘 Huì meaning "to paint," and 世 Shì, meaning "world." Together, 绘世 Huìshì means "to paint the world," alluding to the reason why Asat Pramad raised Graphia: to paint a trace of the Destruction onto Planarcadia before Asat Pramad destroyed it. It may also allude to Graphia's feat of transforming Benzaitengoku into a painting.

    The Magical Girl Troupe, or MGT for short, is an organisation within Planarcadia which supports magical girls so they may assist law enforcement and work as idols.

    Overview

    The Magical Girl Troupe has two major goals, the first being the scouting and assisting of girls who have inadvertently discovered magical abilities, and the second being granting magical abilities to girls looking to become magical girls. Each magical girl has an assigned familiar, which they need to regularly supply Wishpower and emotional support. Due to the need for Wishpower, magical girls will also double as idols, something the Magical Girl Troupe also helps cultivate. The Magical Girl Troupe is legally required to provide all magical girls with the following: Specialised equipment depending on personality and abilities, battle reports and any reinforcement for mission, reimbursement for any medical fees due to combat, and any idol related support such as advertisement and venue hire.

    The process for signing up to the MGT requires signing the Magical Girl's Oath, an employment contract which makes clear the legal expectations of "Employer," "Familiar." and "Pledger."

    First Meeting

    I am Detective Ashveil of the Ashen Detective Agency. This is my business card. I take all sorts of assignments such as looking for lost pets, pretending to be a parent in parent-teacher nights, capturing interstellar wanted criminals, or tracing the whereabouts of an Aeon... So, what can I do for you?

    About Self: Detective Agency

    Number 120 in Detective Deduction 101... There! "Between a detective and their assistant, at least one of them should know a thing or two about deduction." That's why I hired Mister N at such a high rate. As for me... Doesn't matter how many alibis you've made up or how many different testimonies you've created. Come and talk to my morning star.

    About Sparxie

    I tried to copy her and did a stream at the agency, but my stream ended up getting tags like "Trolling," "Pets," "Thrills," and "ASMR"... Maybe I should just admit that some people are born to be entertainers.

    About Ashveil

    You're talking 'bout that dude who runs the detective agency? I heard he's got friends in both the government and the gangs and can find anyone he needs. But the only assignments he didn't take were mine... Feels like there's something fishy in it... Ha! So you already know the truth? Well, guess I don't need to keep playin' dumb. Keepin' a secret's a real fudgin' son of a gun... But bein' in the boss's shoes? That's a whole nother kinda tough.

    History

    Origins

    Originally called Seafeld TV, the station was doing well until a fabricated scandal almost caused the station to be canceled until Fulwish made an appearance. Wanting to spread eternal happiness to those affected by the Bloodstained Games she bought Seafled TV and renamed it Fulwish TV. The shows produced by Fulwish TV include Good Morning, Planarcadia, Video Game Hour, and Phantasmoon Late-Night Show. A recent growing popular show was called Daybreak Squadron, a popular teens show involving masked heroes bringing happiness to all.

    Present

    After escaping Graphia Academy, Trailblazer tried getting help from a cop. At that moment Fulwish TV broadcast a Sparxie livestream making it seem everything was fine, thus the officer dismissed Trailblazer's demand for help.

    Later that night after Sparxie was defeated, Fulwish TV broadcast a news report talking about what happened earlier. Suddenly Poofy reported some breaking news that multiple members of the Synwish Syndicate and IPC member Lyndon Skott were murdered.

    At Starrail FEST Fulwish TV reported an edited video of Trailblazer's interviews to make them look bad to the general public.

    President of the Research Society of Happy Smiles and the director of Fulwish TV. An orphan of the Bloodstained Games. Seeking revenge from Planarcadia's "Elation," she transformed into her own enemy, and delivered judgment upon the arcadia in the form of the Herald of Death.

    Loading Screen: Fulwish

    Fulwish is a mission-exclusive NPC on Planarcadia. She is the director of Fulwish TV and the president of Research Society of Happy Smiles, as well as a survivor of the Phantasmoon Games fifteen years ago.

    Profile

    Fulwish had a happy, normal childhood. She attended Graphia Academy and was a schoolmate and friend of Himeko and Belle. She was on class duty along with Belle on July 22nd, 1984 of the Arcadian Calendar, which was the day the Herald of Death murdered twenty-two students at the academy. Fulwish survived by mere luck, but her parents were among the victims of the Herald of Death's massacre.

    A mutual aid society formed by the victims of relatives of the Bloodstained Games introduced her to Please Be Happy, a variety show planned by Seafeld TV which was on the verge of cancellation due to a fabrication scandal until Fulwish made her appearance. Her confidence and determination to live a happy life despite tragedy inspired countless people still affected by the Bloodstained Games. The Interastral Peace Corporation, seeing her popularity, helped promote her as a role model and turned her into a superstar.

    In order to bring others happiness, Fulwish reorganized the mutual aid society into the Research Society of Happy Smiles and improved Planarcadia's psychological treatment procedures. She acquired the bankrupt Seafeld TV and rebranded it as Fulwish TV, and produced many classic shows such as Good Morning, Planarcadia, Video Game Hour, and Phantasmoon Late-Night Show. One of their current shows, Daybreak Squadron, sparked a superhero craze among teenagers. Fulwish also sponsored a group of civilian heroes called the "Daybreak Warriors" to maintain peace in Planarcadia.

    At some point, Fulwish went to the Cranial Neurology Department at Fatal Joke, complaining of an inability to "describe negative feedback received by the self, and an inability to actively express the pain perceived by the self." She also claimed to be able to sense the inner desires of others. The doctors found mild non-pathological tissue growth at the Synesthesia Beacon implant site, but the cause remains unknown. Testing revealed that Fulwish is indeed able to accurately describe the desires of others, but when she verbalized the descriptions, the subjects would experience intense hallucinations and lose all rationality. The unusual condition was designated as "Happiness Syntax" by the doctors, and Fulwish was prescribed Aberration-Interference Sustained-Release Tablets Type II.

    Furbobo Weekly is a gossip magazine founded by Nihilux and published in Planarcadia. Its employees are mostly furbos.

    Overview

    Furbobo Weekly was originally run by Nihilux. As the publishing house Furbobocom is facing a financial crisis, she sets up the Trailblazer to take over it. The furbos decided to appoint the Trailblazer as their current president. They resent Nihilux due to her not paying them and they consider her to be an "evil boss." She later claims that the lack of pay is a result of saving them from being sent to prison. Furbobo Weekly provides support for the Trailblazer during their stay in Planarcadia, such as intelligence gathering and spreading news on various events they resolve.

    As the Trailblazer improved on Furbobo Weekly's performance, a few more furbos joined the company.

    Furbobo Weekly is known for Nihilux's comic series Fluffy Across the Blue. The magazine has a website named the Furbobo Web Portal. Besides news reports, the website has a gossip forum named "Moon Chat/Death Notes/Gossip Grove/Custom Name 3/Furbobo Gossip" depending on the Trailblazer's choice.

    Planarcadia

    A massive charity organization, originally founded as a mutual aid society for victims of the Herald of Death incident. Through methods such as the "Happiness Surgery", and other means, they transformed citizens into mindless beasts that knew only the taste of supreme happiness.

    Loading Screen: Research Society of Happy Smiles

    The Research Society of Happy Smiles is a faction in Honkai: Star Rail. It is a faction in Planarcadia that seeks to spread the philosophy of Elation to people, but in truth uses the Abundance to treat its members with "Happiness Surgery."

    Overview

    The Research Society of Happy Smiles is a charity organization that seeks to grant eternal happiness to all. It frequently sends out recruiters to enlist new members, who are then made to undergo a special procedure known as "happiness surgery." Members can be identified by their unwaveringly positive outlook, their inability to display other emotions, and their lack of both physical and emotional pain.

    In reality, this state is the result of being influenced by the power of Abundance via the cells of the Emanator Shuhu. Under its effects, members may engage in morally questionable actions in the name of happiness, such as eliminating individuals they perceive as dangerous.

    History

    Fulwish, traumatized by the events of the Bloodstained Games, was taken in by a mutual aid society formed by the victims' relatives. There, she was introduced to a life-changing show titled Please Be Happy, which led to a surge in her popularity. Fulwish later reorganized the mutual aid society into the Research Society of Happy Smiles.

    Present

    During Trailblazer and March 7th's arrival and subsequent tour of Planarcadia, a recruiter approached them to promote the Society, but they declined the offer. Later that night, following the battle against Sparxie, three members of the Daybreak Squadron murdered Lyndon Skott along with members of the Synwish Syndicate. Upon arriving at the crime scene, Kuchiba enlisted Ashveil and worked with him to investigate, believing that someone was imitating the Herald of Death from the Bloodstained Games.

    Ashveil eventually tracked down a recruiter, disguising himself as a scarred man desperate for happiness in order to extract information. However, the Trailblazer interrupted the exchange, causing the recruiter to flee.

    When the Daybreak Squadron confronted the Astral Express Crew and Ashveil during the second Supplicant battle, Cinderborne was the only one who sensed something was amiss. Despite this, he chose to stand with his comrades and activated the Alloy Mechatron: King Pom-Pom. In response, Ashveil was forced to use his "shadow" to stop the mechatron, dragging them into a mysterious space known as the "Torn Scroll." Azurewing, Blazeweaver, and Dawnlance confessed to the murders, and, having gone too far to be saved, Ashveil had his "shadow" consume all three, an outcome that horrified Cinderborne.

    After being pulled out of the canvas by Pearl, she concluded from the investigation that there was a high likelihood that Fulwish was the mastermind behind the events. Pearl subsequently placed the Society under special watch and suspected that an even more dangerous figure was working with her behind the scenes, noting that the Society’s actions were potentially more severe than those of the Herald of Death.

    Synwish Syndicate

    The Synwish Syndicate is a criminal organization based in Dovebrook District on Planarcadia. Its headquarters is Synwish Tower, a location placed on the IPC's official travel warning list as "Extreme Risk, Do Not Enter." The Syndicate's boss operates from an office on an upper floor of the tower, and Hayek serves as the Synwish Syndicate Receptionist.

    The organization is associated with Dovebrook District, which has declined from Duomension City's former bustling hub into the most crime-ridden area in all of Planarcadia.

    During the current Phantasmoon Games, members of the Synwish Syndicate were murdered together with IPC member Lyndon Skott. The killings were initially treated as a possible return or imitation of the Herald of Death, the mass murderer associated with the Bloodstained Games fifteen years earlier. Later investigation revealed that Azurewing, Blazeweaver, and Dawnlance of the Daybreak Squadron were responsible for the murders.

    Dovebrook Avenue

    Sure, Dovebrook District's security isn't exactly top-notch, but stick to the main roads and you won't run into too much trouble. That said, plenty of little hidden gem shops are tucked away off the beaten path, perhaps worth the detour for a little adventure.

    Dovebrook is the mother river of Duomension City. Once upon a time, what flowed through it wasn't just water, but also the endless stream of people's Wishpower. However, starting in 1977 of the Arcadian Calendar, the City Administrative Committee passed a decree prohibiting the dumping of discarded Inspiration into the river, and this spectacle ceased to exist.

    A company created to support the Aeon Qlipoth. It has since become the largest economic entity in the cosmos.

    Loading Screen: Interastral Peace Corporation

    The Interastral Peace Corporation, abbreviated as the IPC, is an intergalactic mega corporation responsible for the economy of the entire cosmos.

    Description

    "With all due respect, is there anyone in the universe more enlightened than our chair, Qlipoth? Qlipoth acquiesces in all our business decisions, never asking or questioning why. How great a privilege! How great a trust!"

    — Oswaldo Schneider, Head of Interastral Peace Corporation Marketing Development Department, Level P47

    To outsiders, the IPC is an enormous consortium advocating free trade. From a business perspective, the IPC is a business that issues money and monopolizes resources. From a startup perspective, the IPC is a selfless support group dedicated to the Aeon of Preservation.

    When many astral citizens talk about the IPC, they talk about its ubiquitous merchandise and logo. It's as if "The IPC exists whenever there is a transaction." In fact, almost all business transactions in the cosmos are based on the credit system created by the IPC. If one were to compare interastral trade to a sports competition, the IPC would be the top athletes as well as the sports, the venue, and the rules themselves.

    Its absolute dominance over wealth and relentless expansion has given the IPC the image of a conspiratorial business dictatorship. But the IPC pays little attention to lowly ambitions such as dictatorship, because its spirit hasn't wavered since its creation:

    Give everything to the Amber Lord, Qlipoth.

    Today, the Interastral Peace Corporation is divided into seven major departments. Perhaps the word "department" can no longer encompass the astounding scale of this pan-galactic enterprise. In actuality, every IPC department would often control dozens or even hundreds of civilized worlds of various scales and have billions of workers employed in a hereditary manner, let alone the countless masses that are affected by the impact of its commercial activities.

    These seven major departments are:

    The Marketing Development Department

    The Marketing Development Department is engrossed in reaching more star systems to preach the calling of Qlipoth. At it same time, it is also responsible for pulling newly emerging worlds into the universal commercial sphere.

    It is said that its chairman, Oswaldo Schneider, is a former Nameless who still holds strongly to the will of Trailblaze after joining the IPC. People believe he will soon become a member of the Board of Trustees. All he's missing is some experience and an empty spot.

    The Business Consolidation Department

    When the Marketing Development Department finishes establishing relationships with a new world, the subsequent commercial dealings will be handed over to the Business Consolidation Department. This department is responsible for managing the IPC's Hyper-distant Delivery system. They stock take specialty goods, set prices, and continuously maintain the IPC's subsidiary facilities and goods inventory.

    The Business Consolidation Department is the IPC's biggest department. Its staff numbers amount to 45% of the headquarter's total personnel.

    The Strategic Investment Department

    The Strategic Investment Department has the second-best foresight in the IPC. Their investment will never be limited to short-term returns.

    The Strategic Investment Department has an elite team of Non-Performing Asset Liquidation Specialists — the "Ten Stonehearts" — led by the mysterious director Diamond. These individuals traverse the universe, actively liquidating the bad debts caused by the Cancer of All Worlds.

    The Building Material Logistics Department

    The Building Material Logistics Department is the oldest in the IPC. Its former name was "The Amber Lord's Support Team" and was restructured after Louis rose to prominence.

    The current director of the department is the rotund fellow Taravan Keane — One of the rare verified Emanators of Preservation in the IPC, and one of the seven members of the Board of Trustees. He shoulders the holy duty of shipping building materials to Qlipoth, and his grip on power only solidifies over time.

    The Technology Department

    The Technology Department conducts thorough collaborations with the Intelligentsia Guild and turns the Guild's scientific results into commercial projects. Preferring the management practice by peer experts, the IPC acknowledges Director Yabuli's scientific aptitude and commercial instincts. The associations between this young lady and the Council of Mundanites in the Intelligentsia Guild are often also inspires waves of speculation.

    The Talent Motivation Department

    The Talent Motivation Department is responsible for recruiting, training, and transporting talented employees for the IPC. This department is also the medium through which many intergalactic projects communicate and collaborate with their respective stakeholders.

    Moreover, the two directors of the Talent Motivation Department — Mtooyin Raj Zazzad and Yan Shiluo — collectively control an information network that covers the entire cosmos. Their emissaries shuttle across the cosmos, befriending the major powers, and forming alliances and relationships with talents who are not yet willing to join the IPC — These "external aides" will demonstrate significant value in situations where the IPC is unable or unwilling to show its face.

    The Traditional Project Department

    The passage of time saw the rise of fall of many industries, with their influence and positions in the IPC's trade system also ebbing and flowing. When one industry's trade falls below a certain percentage threshold in pan-galactic commerce, it will be removed from the duties of the Business Consolidation Department and handed over to director Arita of the Traditional Project Department.

    With its mediocre performance, the Traditional Project Department is hardly appreciated in the IPC. However, there is also the view that the true elites are concentrated in this department, where they silently conduct businesses that have withstood the test of time.

    Data Bank, Factions

    Overview

    Once, a group of Aeonic faithful formed a logistical unit, moving materials such as stones, wood, gold, supernium alloys for infrastructure across worlds.

    Eons passed in an instant and this logistical unit yet remains. In fact, they even grew to become the transgalatic business conglomerate Interastral Peace Corporation.

    "From the lens of an outsider, the IPC had long departed from its initial mission. With all the changes it's undergone, it now exist as a predatory colossus in the world of business. Yet, the faith of its board of directors holds firm to the belief that every trickle of accumulated wealth will be devoted to Qlipoth in the Aeon's time of need to fulfill their wishes. As for the Preservation, Qlipoth, they care naught for the flea-like starships circling around their being, let alone the endless flow of supplies moving between worlds."

    Ranks

    The rank of the employee likely dictates their salary, though all wages are considered a trade secret. Disclosing these wages will result in the employee's firing.

    P13 staff members are basic employees. P16 employees are supervisors to the new temporary workers. P25 members become branch directors of the department. P35 staff members gain access to the cloud-top mansion at Pier Point. P40 employees gain the right to purchase Faith Bonds that represents Louis Fleming's affirmation of the staff member. P44-P46 is given to Senior Managers working directly under the department's head. P47 designates candidates for the board member position and are typically the department's head leader. P48-P50 are the highest ranks reserved for department heads who are board members of the corporation.

    In the present, the department is the most ancient among the 7 and continues to carry out its duty of shipping building materials to Qlipoth under Taravan Keane, a Board member and one of the few verified Emanators of Preservation. Although members of this department are the most ardent followers of Preservation, it's unknown to the Xianzhou whether Taravan is a believer of Preservation.

    While Dr. Ratio somewhat complimented Yabuli for her competence, he described her subordinates as ambitious and enthusiastic, yet so witless and amateurish, that "it's as if evolution halted prematurely for them." However, Dudley said members of his department may not have been geniuses, but are "plenty visionary."

    Military

    The IPC maintains it's own space military academy. The IPC fleet's main duty is protecting and maintaining existing star rails, sometimes also undertaking planetary landings and securing key points. Most warships carry a complement of mechs and drop pods to support ground forces after securing orbit.

    IPC warships favor energy weapons, with positron cannons, annihilation beams, and Imaginary fission cannons standard even on frigates. The IPC fleet also possesses the universe's strongest shield technology, colored like Qlipoth's body. The Marketing Development Department's six fleets are each valued "worth a rank P46 employee."

    Recently, the Intelligentsia Guild completed modifications on a Genius Society invention, naming it the "#77 Puzzle Cannon." It triggers explosions directly at target locations, requiring no flight time or accuracy concerns — a perfect weapon. However, still in testing, the device remains too large for all but the biggest ships to carry.

    Chat: Interastral Peace Corporation

    "Fortune" forms the foundation of our world. The flourishing of the cosmos relies on exchange and commerce — the IPC facilitates such connections between planets, weaving everything and everyone together. Wealth begets Erudition, produces Elation, averts Destruction, and builds Harmony.

    The heart of the IPC revolves around earnings and expansion. It can weather a loss here and there, but stagnation is impermissible. A daring gamble is better than being overly cautious — just like the wager Diamond made on me... We both deserve congratulations for that one.

    Through the course of one's existence, only a scant number of impactful memories— pain, joy, rage, sorrow, can be harvested... The Garden of Recollection was conceived with the preservation of such memories in mind — yet it isn't immune to the corporation's endeavor to openly profit from it.

    Chat: Traveling

    You seen them travel brochures the IPC puts out? Places worth seein' are all marked as being "Travel Risks". Well, that's the upside of being a wanted man, I AM the "RISK"! So those places? Zero risk for me.

    Annoyances

    The cosmos is like a slob's kitchen – open up any cupboard, and you'll find nests of those corporate ash-voles in 'em scurryin' about. Means this place still needs some tidyin' up.

    The Yaoqing and the IPC collaborate on many things — there's no denying it. This also means when we fight the abominations, the IPC support us unreservedly. Abominations don't care about who owns this planet and will happily wreck a multi-trillion-credit industry, and our friends at the IPC are not the charitable type.

    The IPC is full of talented people, but only a handful can stand out from the crowd. Sometimes I keep an eye out, on behalf of Diamond — picking from all the ores the few with the most potential.

    Knowledge

    There's a saying on Punklorde: "Why change the world when you can create one?" Isn't Planarcadia just something the IPC salvaged using clumsy aether editing? If I were in charge, there wouldn't be nearly as many bugs.

    The purchase price of Sky-Amber doubled to support the Lord of the Preservation. However, it is up to the Corporation's fancy whether this becomes good or bad fortune for worlds rich in ores...

    Knowledge

    Do you know how the followers of Qlipoth the Preservation became the Interastral Peace Corporation? The Aeon wanted to build a wall, and humanity started searching for building materials so they could follow in Qlipoth's footsteps... it's pretty funny when you think about it.

    Trivia

    The IPC has their own computer operating system called "Eidor" which supposedly costs more than March 7th's own computer.

    The IPC is responsible for the distribution of the Interastral Peace Guide, a book that provides advice on how to protect one's homeland from danger, such as Stellarons.

    Despite its name, the Interastral Peace Guide was written by The Architects, not the IPC.

    The IPC has a bounty list reserved for the most notorious of criminals. Notable people on this list include the Stellaron Hunters, the "Star Eater" Ruins of Rahu, Archie Torrey, Vita, and the Red-Nosed Old-Timer.

    Interastral Peace Corporation/History

    A timeline of historical events within or involving the Interastral Peace Corporation and its many departments and staff.

    Founding

    ? AE — The Interastral Peace Corporation originated as a support team to assist Qlipoth in building their Celestial Comet Wall. They attempted to travel to different worlds to gather supplies as an offering to the Amber Lord. Since they only collected construction materials, however, the support team could only offer construction materials to trade.

    1357~ AE — Louis Fleming began trading for construction materials by offering other resources, such as fruit, for a certain marked-up price. This allowed the support team to realize that they needed to acquire and supply goods that are desirable to trade partners. And thus, Dongfang Qixing decided that to be the only trade business in the cosmos, they must set their own rules.

    1387~ AE — Louis Fleming and Dongfang Qixing announced the reformation of the support team and started the IPC. At the same moment, the IPC introduced the universal galactic currency: credits. They assigned a price tag to the specialties of every planet, which locals now purchased directly from the IPC using its credits.

    Borderstar Trade War and First Mechanical War

    Following the Swarm Disaster, the IPC underwent a reorganization as internal forces actively sought new paths of development.

    Three figures rose to power within the IPC, being Telora Farnsha of the Public Relations Division, Korapao of the Cargo Division and De Wayne from the Technology Division. Telora Farnsha was called the Godmother and had the support of the four major Guardians. Korapao has the support of the Associates, and De Wayne was in charge of decryption. However, De Wayne held no match against Farnsha and Korapao's influence.

    The Candelagraphos made a deduction that the Sanguine Condolences was a declaration of war by a faction against the IPC, but was later overruled as Cyprogo was under De Wayne's supervision.

    The executive director of IPC has terminated the collaboration with the Garden of Recollection after the last discussion with Korapao, and the Memory Bubble technology that Telora Farnsha vouched for was forced to give way to the Synesthesia Beacon. Nevertheless, Telora Farnsha was soon promoted to P-48, and her forces formed the Trade Division, while she and Korapao held the monopoly of many galaxies, sparking the Borderstar Trade War. Before this, anti-war proposals were sent to the IPC.

    De Wayne of the Technology Division saw the opportunity to colonize inorganic worlds and established an armed organization, eventually making a fortune to stand up against Farnsha and Korapao.

    Louis Fleming performs his retirement speech, until Fuli manifests in front of the audience.

    Korapao hired Professor Cressitra from the Intelligentsia Guild to create a synthetic Anti-Organic Equation, but a promise was made to never use it.

    Professor Cressitra from built a long-distance vesself for Korapao to keep himself safe during the war, but after an act of betrayal against Cressitra, they blew up the vessel, resulting in a Spice Ordeal happening in Temptra underneath Farnsha's authority. Korapao was to sever ties with Farnsha's faction and lose support in the Emperor's War.

    Korapao breaks their promise and injects the Equation into his army and lets them enjoy the benefits of inorganic lifeforms.

    De Wayne reaches the peak of Broadened Cognition, but the Enigmata interferes and traps De Wayne into a scenario where he keeps reaching for the woman on top, but fails and fails, which felt as long as the universe's existence.

    Once the Borderstar Trade War ends, The Guardians utilize Temptra's Psychological Manipulation skill to affect the Outreach and Engagement Division. It is then revealed that De Wayne lost his mind, and Korapao died by hanging himself after being deserted.

    It was later revealed that Polka Kakamond of the Genius Society was supported by Dongfang Qixing.

    At an unknown point, the Doctors of Chaos offered the Revitalization-310 as a means to cure Nihility; however, the medicine gave about unnaturally positive feedback, resulting in its misuse as a psychological anesthetic. Before the IPC intervened, sixteen systems which had been introduced to it and were on the verge of destruction and have now reverted to oblivion.

    Recent History

    2022 SC — The IPC became allies with the Xianzhou Alliance

    ? AE — The IPC acquired Penacony and designated it as a prison planet, ordering all inmates to salvage the overflowing Memory Bubbles for the Garden of Recollection.

    ? AE — A Stellaron Disaster appears in Penacony, leading the IPC to weaken its hold on Penacony.

    2147~ AE — Seizing this chance, Hanunue sparks the War of the Frontier in Penacony, overturning the IPC and giving freedom to the prison.

    2151~ AE — The organization alongside the Intelligentsia Guild began appearing on Jarilo-VI. When the Antimatter Legion targeted the planet for invasion, the IPC fled, but not before giving an immense amount of funds for the Architects to build a wall surrounding Belobog and advanced automatons to use, giving them 280 years to repay the debt. The Architects ended up not using the provided automatons, as they did not know how to operate them and instead created replicas based on the blueprints left behind. In the end, the Supreme Guardian at the time, Alisa Rand, used the Stellaron to stop the Antimatter Legion via the Eternal Freeze. The payment was canceled 100 years after signing, as Jarilo-VI lost contact with the rest of the universe, making the IPC believe that the planet's civilization was destroyed.

    2155 AE — A ship escapes from ancient Benzaitengoku to New Londinium, an industrial planet under the IPC. The governor took great interest in the refugees' homeland and reported it to the Marketing Development Department.

    2156 AE — Following Director Oswaldo's orders, the Marketing Development Department's research fleet arrives at Ahatopia, marking the debut of "Planarcadia".

    2156 AE — Due to the threat of the Stellarons along with the Antimatter Legion and Annihilation Gang causing havoc in the galaxy, the Technology Department sends Dudley to recruit Genius Society member #79 Chadwick and other researchers to create the Imaginary Implosion Pulse. The weapon was eventually deployed against Antimatter Legion vanguards that threatened IPC trade routes, but with the collateral damage of 24 other planets, three of which hosted civilizations of Grade D or above. While the IPC issued a statement condemning the detonation and conducted an internal review, removing the higher-ups who ordered the detonation, they continued to pursue the technology. Aware of their intentions, Chadwick spoke to Screwllum and acquired the Selective Blocking Agent, preventing them from extracting any useful information from him. The IPC eventually decided to wait for the death of his physical body, upon which they used Garden of Recollection technology to preserve his memoria in a Memory Bubble, which was placed in the Dreamscape to sustain it.

    8072~ SC — The IPC hired Anwen to infiltrate an evidence room in order to steal secrets regarding human experimentation performed by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. She was apprehended by the Cloud Knights at the Exalting Sanctum. The case was considered by the Luofu to be of utmost sensitivity, and anyone handling the case was ordered to deny all spy trade requests from the corporation.

    8098 SC, October — The IPC supports the Xianzhou Yaoqing in defeating the Sakin Chadu star system's abominations.

    8098 SC, November — The IPC helps the Xianzhou Yaoqing harness local minerals in the Sakin Chadu star system and recuperate.

    Unknown Time Period

    The star system Zaum was blessed by a prophet who brought knowledge far ahead of its time, allowing them to create cutting-edge technology and negotiate with the IPC. The IPC, refusing to let a star system in their logistics chain horse-trade with them, turned the people of Zaum against each other, using assassination, sowing discord, and inciting division. The star system later feel to memoria and infighting.

    One of the IPC's executives, Oswaldo Schneider, would take control of the Marketing Development Department after parting ways with The Nameless. On the planet Sigonia-IV, there had been an issue plaguing the corporation for multiple Amber Eras, which Oswaldo successfully resolved. However, the clans subsequently excluded the Avgins and Katicans due to their hostilities. The Katicans later plotted to kill the Avgins during the Kakava, an important Avgin festival. Despite Oswaldo's assurances that he would protect them when they asked for assistance, he failed to honor his agreement, leading to many Avgins being killed or labelled as missing; despite this stain, the operation was still considered a success. This led to Aventurine seemingly becoming the only Avgin remaining. Through numerous risks and sheer luck, Aventurine would soon find himself as a member of the Ten Stonehearts.

    Oswaldo would later lead an operation on Aeragan-Epharshel. Facing both time constraints and resistance from the locals, he incentivized his crew with the promise of reward for the first person to acquire the resource, while also permitting the use of military force against the population to "bring civilization to this world." The operation is implied to have killed many inhabitants in an "unknown disaster," leaving only frail youth and elderly living in prohibitively small shelters. To this day, that black ore is still used in massive quantities as a rare metal to create devastating weaponry, and is shipped out to more and more planets on fleets of IPC transport ships. The Galaxy Ranger Boothill, a survivor of Aeragan-Epharshel, would subsequently seek vengeance on Oswaldo for his crimes.

    Topaz's world, a small, obscure planet in the galaxy, produced heavy and chemical goods for other planets for trade. The massive amount of production resulted in its environment becoming contaminated with pollutants, and the people who were unable to leave resigned themselves to their fate. The IPC eventually came upon the world and restored the environment within a span of five years. Out of gratitude to the corporation, Topaz joined with a "lifelong" contract, soon working her way to the Ten Stonehearts with her impressive work ethics.

    Current Activity

    Supported by the Intelligentsia Guild, the IPC recently began developing technologies to bypass Stellaron Corrosion, and hopefully reestablish the connections between worlds. For this, they have experimented on 113 galaxies, and have seen positive results.

    After the IPC repelled an Antimatter Legion invasion in the Lanlusian Segmentum, the system refused their demand to reclaim assets. Jade intervenes, attempting seven massive dumping attempts to crash their now-independent economy. The system finally relents after the IPC's fleet arrives with massive firepower.

    The IPC gains control of Planarcadia and Pearl is appointed to oversee the planet's growth.

    Jarilo-VI

    After the Nameless discover that Jarilo-VI is still active, the rest of the cosmos also learns of the news.

    Remembering the debt owed back then, the IPC send Topaz to investigate the planet and appraise its value, despite Aventurine's insistence that the planet was not worth the time inspecting. Topaz and her subordinates arrive on the planet and make contact with Bronya.

    Topaz offers to help reconstruct Jarilo-VI to make it more habitable, seeing it similar to her own home planet until it was saved by the IPC. Bronya is unsure and decides to ask the people what they want.

    Topaz's subordinates begin inspecting the planet's value and causing trouble, prompting Topaz to order them to not disturb the locals' lives or risk having their end of year bonuses slashed by 60%.

    Topaz meets with Svarog and learns that the people never made use of the automatons loaned to them by the IPC, but instead made their own based off their design.

    Bronya stops their fight and shows her the Engine of Creation. She explains that while Jarilo-VI appreciates the help, its people plan to forge their own path.

    Seeing their resolve, Topaz has the IPC abandon their attempts to acquire Jarilo-VI. As punishment for wasting time and resources, she is demoted and loses most of her bonuses. Before she leaves the planet, she has a few of her subordinates stay behind to host the Aetherium Wars to boost the planet's economy.

    Simulated Universe

    The IPC began to take an interest in their work of the Simulated Universe, prompting the Gold and Gears expansion, taking place before The First Emperor's war. As the Borderstar Trade War also took place around that time period, Pearl made an agreement with Herta to purchase any data related to the IPC from her.

    Penacony

    A situation begins to brew in Penacony, prompting Diamond to assign Opal to resolve it. However, he quickly changes his mind and gives Aventurine the task after determining that Opal's methods would result in unnecessary conflict. Topaz and Jade are also sent to assist him.

    In order to explore past Penacony's Dreamscape, Aventurine concocts a plan to "die" by Acheron's hand, as her status as an Emanator of Nihility could push through the Order that the Family was attempting to re-establish. This plan involved the Trailblazer's participation and threatening their safety; without them, the plan would fail. He cracks his Cornerstone before arriving.

    After entering Dreamflux Reef and exploring its secrets, Aventurine returns to the dreamscape with Argenti's aid. The remnants of his Cornerstone protect him from Nihility's taint, though he complains of nightmares, prompting the IPC to hire a Doctor of Chaos to diagnose and treat him.

    Boothill confronts Aventurine and demands to know Oswaldo's location. Due to the dispute between him and Diamond, Aventurine agrees to assist him.

    An IPC fleet arrives at Asdana to stop the Family, but the fleet disperses after the situation is resolved by the Nameless, ending in Sunday's capture.

    Robin pleads with Jade to free her brother, which she does.

    The Stellaron Hunter Firefly meets Jade, wanting to continue living in return for giving everything she had. Jade later reveals she knew her true identity and hopes all the Stellaron Hunters could visit her one day. She explains to Firefly that this is out of her own interests and not the IPC as a whole. Firefly understands where Jade is coming from, who tells the Stellaron Hunter to consider her response in the future.

    With the situation resolved, Jade and Topaz enter negotiations with Oti Alfalfa and the Alfalfa Family.

    Oti, wanting to make Penacony independent, initially declines the two Stonehearts' attempts. Privately, Jade threatens Oti, claiming that if he did not cooperate, she would crush Penacony's economy with ease. She gives her own offer in which the IPC would not interfere in the planet's nor the Family's affairs if he abandoned the plan.

    Oti agrees to Jade's proposal and abandons his notion of making the planet independent. To commemorate the Astral Express' contribution, she invites Himeko to the negotiations, where she proposes that the IPC hold a 30% stake on the planet, of which 5% would go to the Astral Express. She also recommends Himeko as an independent director.

    Jade leaves Topaz to handle the rest of the negotiations for the IPC.

    Diamond holds a meeting with the Ten Stonehearts to determine whether or not Aventurine should be cast out of the group for destroying his Cornerstone, despite the success of the Penacony operation.

    Sugilite, Obsidian (also representing Agate) and Sapphire (represented by Pearl) vote in expelling him.

    Topaz, Jade, Pearl and Amber (represented by Pearl) vote in favor of keeping him.

    Opal serves as the tiebreaker and also votes in favor of keeping him. With a majority vote, Diamond restores Aventurine's Cornerstone.

    Topaz, Aventurine and Jade check out of The Reverie Hotel.

    The three end up returning to Penacony to set up Currency Wars, a project that simulated IPC business combat across the cosmos. This project was intended to save costs as the IPC had many enemies across the cosmos that drained resources and manpower when they arrived to stop them.

    Jade invites the Trailblazer to the project, teaching them how play it. The Trailblazer becomes proficient, after which Topaz and Aventurine leave to resume their other projects, while Jade remains behind to help the Trailblazer.

    The Xianzhou Luofu

    Skott arrives at Aurum Alley and tries to take control over it, but is foiled by the Trailblazer and the Nameless. He is forced to bark and howl like a dog and taken into custody for sabotaging deliveries in the area.

    The IPC is invited to the Luminary Wardance, with Topaz being sent as the IPC representative. Owlbert also makes an appearance as an announcer through a remote-controlled puppet.

    Borisin pirates attack several IPC vessels, forcing them to land on the Luofu for safety. The Luofu order the vessels searched despite the IPC's opposition, discovering several Howling Caskets inside them, a machine that uses borisin tissue. One goes berserk and is put down by the Trailblazer. Skott, who was overseeing transport of the vessels, is taken in for questioning.

    Topaz and her team participate in the event but are eliminated by Luka.

    Topaz later decides to sponsor Luka, but he declines, fearing favoritism. A jealous Xianzhou native, Shuojin, takes advantage of their meetings by claiming the IPC were sponsoring him, turning public opinion against him.

    Topaz, learning of the slander, asks Luka to have a rematch against Shoujin, giving the Xianzhou native defective machinery. Luka beats Shoujin, exposing his hypocrisy and Topaz is able to market a new product.

    Boothill partakes in the event despite the IPC's opposition due to his bounty, but the Luofu refuses their request to apprehend him. Boothill eventually leaves when Yanqing proves to be a formidable opponent, not wanting the IPC to corner him.

    Amphoreus

    Herta informs the IPC of Irontomb, and Jade orders an analysis of its equation, discovering that it could affect organic lifeforms. With help from Dr. Ratio, the IPC fast-track a vaccine and distribute it to affected systems within 48 hours, including those visited by the Elation, which Aventurine claims is a long-term investment. Topaz is sent to Jarilo-VI to distribute the vaccine there.

    The IPC also learn of the Lord Ravager Archforger, causing more tension between Diamond and Oswaldo.

    Following Irontomb's destruction, the Trailblazer approached the IPC with the intention to mass-produce As I've Written in the hopes of accelerating Amphoreus' return, contacting both Aventurine and Topaz. Both agreed to the proposal, creating the books free of charge while having the Trailblazer head to Belobog, the Xianzhou Luofu, Penacony and Herta Space Station to spread it themselves while they would cover the other areas.

    After Irontomb is destroyed, Jade contacts the Astral Express and proposes they lead an Anti-Destruction Alliance. The group considers but ultimately declines for the time being, believing it would go against the spirit of the Trailblaze.

    Jade informs Himeko of events in Planarcadia, prompting the Astral Express to go and visit the planet. She also informs Pearl of their arrival.

    Planarcadia

    Pearl meets with Himeko and Welt, asking them to reconsider Jade's proposal. The two continue to decline.

    Pearl later meets with Yao Guang, asking her to consider having the Xianzhou Alliance join the Anti-Destruction Alliance. Yao Guang declines, stating that they would consider if they could demonstrate sincerity. Yao Guang informs her that Blade has set foot on the planet and wishes to apprehend him without restrictions, which Pearl grants.

    Skott meets with the Trailblazer and March, having been appointed their bodyguard. He gets caught in Sparxie's chaos while doing so.

    Skott gets caught in a crossfire with the Synwish Syndicate and is killed by the Herald of Death alongside thirty-three members of the syndicate. Pearl manages to convince Ashveil to participate in the Phantasmoon Games.

    Silver Wolf meets Pearl in order to acquire a mask to participate in the Phantasmoon Games. Silver Wolf offers to teach Pearl the secrets of imagenesis in return for a mask, which Pearl agrees to. In return, she exposes the Stellaron Hunter's hologram and takes a data slice from her so they could have honest conversations in the future.

    — Owlbert

    The Strategic Investment Department is a department of the Interastral Peace Corporation.

    Description

    The Strategic Investment Department has the second-best foresight in the IPC. Their investment will never be limited to short-term returns. The Strategic Investment Department has an elite team of Non-Performing Asset Liquidation Specialists — the "Ten Stonehearts" — led by the mysterious director Diamond. These individuals traverse the universe, actively liquidating the bad debts caused by the Cancer of All Worlds.

    Data Bank, Interastral Peace Corporation

    Overview

    The Strategic Investment Department is one of the seven major departments of the Interastral Peace Corporation. The department is responsible for major business and investment deals across a number of planets, such as Jarilo-VI and Penacony. Operations are split into various teams, each being led by a member of the Ten Stonehearts. Diamond is head of the Strategic Investment Department and leader of the Ten Stonehearts.

    Teams

    Special Debts Picket Team

    Also known as the Special Debt Marshal Force, the Special Debts Picket Team specializes in debt collection for planets with outstanding loan balances from the IPC. The objective of the team is to collect these debts from the planet's authoritative body, or otherwise negotiate a compromise. This often entails the planet becoming property of the IPC, and its inhabitants becoming employees. The Special Debts Picket Team is led by Director Topaz.

    Aventurine's Team

    While not named, Director Aventurine does have his own team, though according to him, he doesn't have as many capable workers over the rank of P30 as Topaz's team. After Penacony had been re-incorporated into the IPC's distribution of shares, Aventurine stated he was in need of a new project manager. According to Topaz, Aventurine has very few people working for him due to his work habits.

    About Aventurine

    In the IPC — no — even just the Strategic Investment Department — there are plenty of unsavory characters I don't care for. They may be my colleagues, but we're not the same. Take Aventurine, for instance... I sincerely hope you never have to deal with him.

    The Ten Stonehearts, officially known as Non-Performing Asset Liquidation Specialists, are a group of high-ranking Interastral Peace Corporation executives within the Strategic Investment Department, operating under the leadership of Diamond.

    Description

    "Mortal flesh is fragile, yet my heart is unyielding like the monolith. For without this resolve, the Way of Preservation would fade into oblivion."

    — Diamond, Rank P47, Director of the Strategic Investment Department, Interastral Peace Corporation

    Among the myriad IPC departments, the Strategic Investment Department is responsible for being visionaries. Their investments are never obsessed with short-term returns — They often operate investment rounds stretching across dozens or even hundreds of Amber Eras per round, and their goal is nothing less than total control of an entire star system. Though many investments made by the department were turned into bad debts due to the continuous setbacks caused by Nanook and Stellarons, the Strategic Investment Department have attained multiple stunning achievements ever since the current director "Diamond" took over —

    Eradicating the Swarm infestation in the Gallante sector and completing the commercialization of the new ecosphere. Conducting capital injection to the Golcondar Mining World Consortium following the Stellaron incident, securing fresh sources of minerals for IPC's construction materials logistics trade. Reclaiming the lost world Jarilo-VI and investing in its revitalization project. Cooperating with the Garden of Recollection to salvage the memoria in deadworlds. ...

    Behind all these events, the team named "The Ten Stonehearts" played a prominent role. Officially known as Non-Performing Asset Liquidation Specialists in the IPC, they are an elite team under Diamond's direct management. Its ever-changing list of members comes from a diverse range of backgrounds and holds a wide variety of responsibilities. The only thing they have in common is how they were all personally promoted to the role by Diamond and were granted a credential of their identity, known as the Cornerstone.

    Some credible sources suggest that the Ten Stonehearts have demonstrated unbelievable might be related to Preservation on certain occasions. Whether this power originates from the members themselves or the Cornerstones they possess remains uncertain. However, since Diamond is one of the few confirmed Emanators of Preservation within the IPC, this power is likely related to that fact.

    The troubled past between the Strategic Investment Department and the Marketing Development Department has long ceased to be a secret within the IPC. Some claim that the Ten Stonehearts are actually Diamond's private soldiers, while others believe they are purely followers of Preservation, even going so far as to say "they have carved out their own hearts and replaced it with Qlipoth's stone." The true allegiance of the Ten Stonehearts remains a mystery for now.

    Data Bank, Factions

    Overview

    Officially known as the Non-Performing Asset Liquidation Specialists, the Ten Stonehearts are led by the Emanator of Preservation, Diamond. Its members' origins are varied, and their responsibilities and personalities differ. While they could be seen similarly to the Astral Express or Stellaron Hunters, both Jade and Opal have stated that the group is only united by a need to obtain what they want, with a void that desires to be filled by said need. Diamond picked each member to join him on their journey and made a promise to share his power equally to them, which would help satisfy some of their needs and ultimately help Qlipoth when the war among the Aeons inevitably arrives. The group has a somewhat notorious reputation among the corporation, though many agree that Topaz is considered the least controversial of them, likely due to her disdain of business etiquette and a genuine desire to help others.

    While under Diamond's leadership, he allows the Ten Stonehearts to be independent on matters of the team's survival.

    Cornerstones

    Main article: Cornerstone

    Each member is given a name corresponding to their Cornerstone, and they are generally called by this name rather than their actual name. The Cornerstones are sacred stones that seal the authority of a Emanator of Preservation within them. The Ten Stonehearts can use their stone to obtain this share of authority and be granted great power. It is said that the Ten Stonehearts must cut their Cornerstone with their own will in order to allow its brilliance to radiate. Even a shattered Cornerstone can still confer a great amount of power.

    The Ten Stonehearts generally value their Cornerstones more than their own lives and each Cornerstone gives different abilities to each Stoneheart, such as the ability to read minds. The Aventurine Stone transforms Aventurine, allows him to levitate, and summons giant poker chips from the sky. The Jade Stone allowed Jade to see all desires that flowed through dreams when it was sent into Penacony. Compared to Aventurine, the Topaz Stone's ability is not as "visual", though Topaz tells the Trailblazer she would have used her Cornerstone in Belobog had Bronya not come in time. When using their Cornerstones, each of the Ten Stonehearts appear to recite a unique activation phrase, ending with the line "All for the Amber Lord." It is currently unknown if this is a strict requirement for the stones' activaton, however.

    History

    Jarilo-VI

    After the IPC discovers that a civilization still existed on Jarilo-VI following the sealing of its Stellaron, Topaz was sent to collect the debt The Architects had loaned from them 700 years ago. It is said that the debt was extremely high to the point that Bronya herself didn't know how to read it. Bronya was given two choices by Topaz: To pay the debt in full, or to sign the civilians of Belobog to the IPC's workforce, which will null the debt and also help rebuild the planet's ecosystem. Bronya was initially unsure of what to do, but after learning from Himeko that the IPC's planet restoration projects were not always successful, she eventually chose to reject the offer. This resulted in a brief skirmish with Topaz's subordinates, but Bronya reveals the Engine of Creation to her, revealing that the people of Jarilo-VI wanted to restore their planet with their own hands. She convinced Topaz to help waiver the acquisition of the planet while promising to repay the debts over time.

    Topaz was convinced and managed to cancel the acquisition of Jarilo-VI, resulting in the mission being a failure; as punishment, several of her bonuses were revoked and she was dropped from P45 to P44. During this time, Diamond managed to secure the support of Taravan Keane, the head of the Building Material Logistics Department and an Emanator of Preservation.

    Penacony

    In an attempt to win over more support from the IPC's board, Diamond assigned Opal to use the Charmony Festival as a way to win back Penacony. Seeing Opal's tactics were too extreme, he instead elected Aventurine to lead the project. Aventurine in turn enlisted the help of Jade and Topaz, and took each of their Cornerstones to use as a diversion to sneak his shattered Cornerstone onto Penacony. During the Charmony Festival, Aventurine forced a fight with the Astral Express Crew and Acheron, an Emanator of Nihility; the latter struck him through the Order's protection on Penacony, sending him to the primordial dreamscape. While in the primordial dreamscape, his Cornerstone would be damaged further and he had to be saved by Argenti, a Knight of Beauty. Using the leverage gained by Aventurine's "death" and the Order's plot, Jade and Topaz would push negotiations with The Family.

    After the Order's plot was foiled, Jade and Topaz met with Oti Alfalfa, who was now the figurehead of the family following Sunday's arrest for his role in the plot. Oti reveals his plan to keep the IPC from acquiring Penacony, but Jade informs him that the IPC could crush his plan in an instant now that "death" was a reality in the Dreamscape. Jade gave him a counteroffer in that the IPC would not interfere with the Family's interests in return for some shares to rebuild the planet. Oti ultimately agreed to her offer, and Jade gave some of the shares to the Astral Express for their role in stopping the plot.

    While the acquisition of Penacony was successful and swayed the vote of another board member, Aventurine was held punishable for the destruction of his Cornerstone. Diamond called the Ten Stonehearts to vote on Aventurine's fate, and Pearl was assigned chair of the meeting. In the end, Sugilite, Obsidian, Agate (represented by Obsidian) and Sapphire (represented by Pearl) voted to punish Aventurine while Topaz, Jade, Pearl, Amber (also represented by Pearl) and Opal chose to restore his position. With the majority of votes in favor, Aventurine's position was restored and his Cornerstone repaired.

    Notes

    1. Topaz and Numby's character introduction in the English localization refers to this as a "core stone," despite later texts referencing similar objects as "Cornerstones." The original Chinese text more consistently refers to these objects as "基石" (Cornerstones) in Topaz and Numby's character introduction, as well as later media.

    2. Jade appears to sign the name "Eve" during her idle and skill animations, and she was also introduced during a mission titled All About Eve. As there has been no definitive confirmation this is her real name, it can still be seen as ambiguous.

    The people who have received the grace of the Aeon, Nous. A collection of the most remarkable geniuses and smartest brains in the universe. They come from different backgrounds, with some of them even working in a fruit shop to make a living.

    Loading Screen: Genius Society

    The Genius Society is an intergalactic organization, whose 84 members are personally selected by Nous the Erudition from across the cosmos, and is a major faction in Honkai: Star Rail.

    Description

    "Into the hallowed halls step pride, ardor, and reason, traversing the length of a corridor etched with the inscription of knowledge and truth, transmuting into the embodiment of lowliness, apathy, and frenzy."

    — Fables About the Stars by Adrian Spencer Smith

    Nous stays in a corner of the cosmos, working out the equations of the universe made up of trillions of variables and deriving the unknown laws of imaginary numbers. Once in a while, a spark of intelligence flashes in a mortal world. The Aeon of Erudition sends a signal to its source, inviting geniuses to join in the search for answers to the universe.

    Many people misinterpret the signal, thinking the invitation to the Genius Society merely represents the favor and approval of the Aeon. Then, they proudly continue to devote themselves to their studies, unaware that the solution to the problems that they have spent their whole lives searching for had already been solved by Nous thousands of years ago. There are also those who rejoice, thinking they have already reached greatness and had created priceless asset of civilization with their diligence and wisdom. They were sure that their life's achievements deserve Nous's approval. These geniuses were eager for a response from Nous, but the Erudition has no time to appreciate the insignificant achievements of mere mortals. THEIR silence was deafening.

    Only very few can ascertain Nous's intentions. They humbly ask questions and seek guidance from the Erudition. These enlightened few then disappear from the world, only leaving behind their world-shattering answers. "The answer to the universe is beyond the limits of mortal wisdom." — Only geniuses who can clearly acknowledge this conclusion can break free from the shackles of worldly curiosity, becoming true members of the Genius Society.

    Data Bank, Factions

    Overview

    The Genius Society is a gathering of geniuses across the cosmos who had drawn the attention of Nous the Erudition, founded by first member Zandar One Kuwabara. Many often misinterpret the invitation as only an approval. The few who are able to understand the Aeon's intentions are given a key to the halls of the Nous Temple. Those who pass through the gates seek guidance from Nous and leave behind their legacy to never return.

    Besides their intellect, members of the society are also known for how much they differ from each other, whether it be in terms of background, ideals, or goals. Most geniuses in the society are lone wolves, asocial, and people with social disorders whom refuse to communicate with each other, and only a few — such as Aiden, Elias Salas, and Herta — are willing to share their findings and use their talent to contribute to the advancement of the cosmos, preferring to indulge in their research for enjoyment. Some are even lunatics, like Rubert I, who dedicated itself to eradicate all organic life forms in the universe, or Polka Kakamond, known for killing fellow members of the society who approach the borders of the Circle of Knowledge. Despite the lack of structure within the organization, it "has its own rules", with one of those being that the Genius Society won't interfere with each other's research topics.

    Due to the tampering of the History Fictionologists and the preference for solitude among most of its members, the history of the organization is mostly shrouded in mystery.

    "All knowledge must be circulated as freely as currency"

    — The Intelligentsia Guild's motto

    The Intelligentsia Guild is an academic institution subsidized by the Interastral Peace Corporation.

    Description

    "The universe is vast, and knowledge is universal. Both the genius and the mediocre have their own way of living."

    — How I Joined the Genius Society and Became Enlightened by Herta

    Only the cream of the crop can become members of the Genius Society, but the Intelligentsia Guild wastes not. The Guild is willing to accept all beings from the infinite universe who seek to learn, as well as providing all that is needed for the full pursuit of knowledge.

    The Intelligentsia Guild advocates that "all knowledge must be circulated like currency." Therefore, although there are different schools that specialize in different subjects within the Guild, everyone is actively engaged with one another with no isolationism. Members trade knowledge for wisdom and formulas for recipes, seeking to achieve mastery. Each school, like a business, pays for itself, and academic circulation has achieved the maximum efficiency proposed in economic models.

    An elder in the Genius Society thought the Intelligentsia Guild as laughing stock. However, as an open academic organization, the Intelligentsia Guild was above such mockery. After a long period of research and exploration, its members have reached a consensus that "the only way to transcend the limitations of the individual is to have an academic network of mutual learning."

    The Intelligentsia Guild is heavily sponsored by the Interastral Peace Corporation, allowing them to move across many worlds and collect knowledge as its commodity. Knowledge is its currency, exchanged for wisdom; formulas for recipes, and so on. Its structure is built upon basic individual organizations of "schools," each responsible for their own earnings and expenses. The scholars would research and trade the knowledge they've acquired in their area of expertise, trying to obtain priceless treasures this way.

    Schools

    Astral Ecology School

    Main article: Astral Ecology School

    Description

    The Astral Ecology School views the galaxy as a large ecological observation subject. They are obsessed with studying the void song whales, radiant jellyfish, and other organisms of the galaxy. The school earned its recognition for the discovery of the Celestial Comet Wall. The Interastral Peace Corporation was exhilarated to hear the confirmation that this was an ancient creation of Qlipoth, Aeon of Preservation. They paid the school an incredibly large sum of money. The Astral Ecology School is in charge of declaring the beginning and end of Amber Eras.

    Synesthesia School

    Main article: Synesthesia School

    Description

    The Synesthesia School is behind the development of the Synesthesia Beacon and sales of the licensing rights to the Interastral Peace Corporation. While the Synesthesia Beacon was first invented by Genius Society member Elias Salas, he would sign over the rights of the product to the Intelligentsia Guild and through their own merit they would reproduce the Synesthesia Beacon. The school now specializes in the development of communications devices, and are forever expanding.

    School of Interstellar Energy Resources

    Main article: School of Interstellar Energy Resources

    Description

    The Intelligentsia Guild founded the School of Interstellar Energy Resources as a temporary school to research a resolution to the Energy Crisis. The IPC invested massive funds to supercharge the progress of the Intelligentsia Guild's breakthrough developments in multiple fields, including drilling, energy storage, and detection in order to achieve the goal of developing a new energy source. During a Futurological Congress, The School of Interstellar Energy Resources proposed that 95% of the computational power of the Scepters obtained after the fall of Rubert II should be used to solve the four Cosmic Conundrums. This proposition was agreed to by the majority. However, this would ultimately lead to a Scholars' Strife.

    Quantum History School

    Main article: Quantum History School

    Description

    This is a new school reformed from the bankrupted Psychology History School. Its original purpose is to find the influences of disturbance and patterns of change hidden throughout history, and then make predictions for the future. However, they've become a group of scammers that use a series of complex "calculations" for fortune-telling.

    About Dr. Ratio

    The erudite folks of the Intelligentsia Guild are often eager to distance themselves from the IPC... and I suspect Ratio doesn't care for me much either. Unfortunately for him, I make for a more competent conversationalist than the other dimwits around here.

    Dr. Ratio

    Chat: Intelligentsia Guild

    The Intelligentsia Guild is often seen as a vendor of knowledge, but the right to set a price is always in the hands of the buyer. When someone is willing to listen to knowledge that is being disseminated and circulated, a price is created.

    Something to Share

    The Intelligentsia Guild is always able to find a way to support their case, writing enough "scholarship" in one night to fill a library... This is a problem.

    The Herta

    About Self: Title

    The writers from the Intelligentsia Guild wanted to give me an extra title. Something like "Herta Prime" to separate me from my puppets. How banal. Are the puppets not "me" as well? So, I gave them a suggestion — if they dared to write that, then I would call myself THE Herta. It's short, simple, straight to the point, and elegant.

    Lore

    A timeline of historical events within or involving the Intelligentsia Guild and it's schools.

    Swarm Disaster

    An Armed Archaeologist who had researched Lepismat was murdered.

    Post-Swarm Disaster

    Genius Society member Elias Salas would invent the Synesthesia Beacon. The Synesthesia School would then be sold the rights to and recreate the Synesthesia Beacon.

    The Armed Archaeologists were sent out to the Machine Empire which contained Intellitrons, beasts of the future, collective machines, and more inorganic life forms. However the Masked Fools had already infiltered the Machine Empire and used their influence to drive away the Armed Archaeologists.

    During Louis Fleming's retiring speech, Fuli made THEIR first appearance to the Interastral Peace Corporation and gave memories of the Borderstar Trade War. The Candelagraphos wrote down three paragraphs about the memories, forming three revelations. Nous' calculation: The universe will undergo three unchangeable moments. Finality's prediction: A silk accessory suitable for women will bring about the end. Enigmata's riddle: THEY leave no question, but the answers are "blood" and "flower." The Intelligentsia Guild was eventually able to track down the origins of each of these memories.

    In 5749 SC, during the resistance of the Xianzhou Alliance against the Abominations of Abundance, the Intelligentsia Guild once dispatched a troop consisting of the Learned to join the 2nd of the Abundance Wars. The troop helped in defeating Shuhu, an Abundance Emanator that besieged the Xianzhou Yuque.

    In 7142 SC, a serious plague erupts on the planet of Yaguoret, which was under the Intelligentsia Guild's rule.

    In 2104 AE, Fomenko — a Candelagraphos scribe — obtained a mute parrot. She took great care of it, but when it died, Fomenko made quills out of the ten outermost feathers of the parrot's wings. One of these was for herself, while the other nine were stored in a vault. She used her quills to annotate for an entire Amber Era, preserving vast swathes of ancient documents on the verge of being lost. It wasn't until people went over Fomenko's legacy that they finally realized that Fomenko had been writing nothing but lies with her quills.

    After the discovery of the extinction of a third of the stars in the Yvanna chain by the Antimatter Legion, the Inelligentsia Guild analysed the timeframe and power needed and concluded that star destroyer arsenals could not have caused such an event. The Xianzhou later contributed this act to a Lord Ravager, they called Sun Devourer.

    A group of Armed Archaeologists once arrived to investigate the galaxy hosting Izumo and Takamagahara, however they found nothing but Enigmata due to both planets being destroyed.

    The Present

    2157 AE

    The last survivor of the Avgin tribe of Sigonia-IV, Kakavasha misled the Intelligentsia Guild into believing Tayzzyronth's remains were located at Egyhazo. This caused the Interastral Peace Corporation to lose tons of manpower and resources looking for the remains.

    A Candelagraphos scholar named Cleo started working with Herta as the editor for her upcoming book. The manuscripts can be found and read throughout Herta Space Station.

    2158 AE

    On a Interastral Peace Corporation broadcast, the Astral Ecology School declared the end of 2157 AE and the start of 2158 AE.

    A group of Armed Archaeologists dispatched to Hellem discovered a miniature galaxy in a cave located near the planet's southern tropical latitudes. The group were conducting demolition missions on certain mountain ranges when they discovered a curious facility in the shape of a container. They are currently trying to get in contact with the population of the galaxy.

    With help from Genius Society member Screwllum, the Armed Archaeologists lead by Allen Jones are planning to excavate the tomb of Rubert I. The tomb ranks as Category Omega ranking on the Potential Disaster Index and is said to "house the inventions inspired by the imagination of Rubert I." The Intelligentsia Guild hopes that with this mission more knowledge can be discovered on Rubert I, and that the universe may be better equipped for when he returns.

    Loading Screen: Stellaron Hunters

    The Stellaron Hunters are a faction in Honkai: Star Rail. Founded and led by Elio, they walk the Path of Finality in an attempt to prevent the Theory of Four Apocalypses. While they have collected and used numerous Stellarons in the past, this is merely a front for their true intentions.

    Description

    "...Blade, Silver Wolf, Sam... The four mentioned above, dead or alive; Do not hurt the Destiny's Slave, and do not let them lose their ability of independent thinking."

    — A wanted notice put out by the Interastral Peace Corporation

    In a quiet moment in time, the Cancer of All Worlds began to cause ripples across the stars, like a rock tossed into a pool of water. Before anyone noticed, this twisted and unknown matter had already corrupted a great number of worlds, but resplendent and mesmerizing gems accompanied this corrosive mud — gems known as the Stellarons.

    Death and despair followed wherever Stellarons went. For many civilizations who have experienced the disasters it brings, Stellarons are symbols of destruction. However, despite the Stellarons' nature, there emerged the fearless few who travel between worlds to obtain Stellarons. They call themselves the Stellaron Hunters.

    No one knows anything about the Stellaron Hunters aside from what they have done. Which Aeon do they worship? What do they want with the Stellaron? With the cosmos filled with rumors about them, only one thing is for certain: Though the Stellaron Hunters are few in numbers, each of them holds incredible capacities and powers.

    Data Bank, Factions

    Overview

    The Stellaron Hunters are a band of powerful individuals united under Elio, with the promise that each of them will fulfill their desires by following his script. They are said to work against the Interastral Peace Corporation. Due to Elio's ability to see possibilties, the group is often privy to information that would normally be impossible to obtain, such as the specific times when events will occur, or seemingly impossible butterfly effects. With this information, the group plans to set up the exact series of events required to prevent the Theory of Four Apocalypses. This process heavily hinges on the Trailblazer, as Elio has forseen that they will be the one to cause the Finality, and ultimately be the one who will save the universe. Elio has been slowly preparing the Trailblazer to face Nanook, and has chosen them, along with Firefly to be the last remaining survivors of Nihility.

    The group is often seen with a black cat, whom the Trailblaze assumed to be Elio, but is later explained to be a fragment of Terminus. According to Constance, Elio has a "special existence," and only the Stellaron Hunters are aware of his true identity.

    Stellarons

    Despite the Stellarons simply being a front for the groups real intentions, in the past, their efforts would often revolve around specific Stellarons. This changed upon the arrival of the Trailblazer.

    Stellaron Hunters/History

    Founding

    The Stellaron Hunters were founded by a mysterious individual known as Elio, who promised each of the members a specific reward for assisting him.

    The oldest known member that Elio recruited was a human named Kafka from Pteruges-V, using a publicly posted message in which he declared that the reader would have the future they yearn for realized. The message told the reader to head to an abandoned building, find a can on the ground and throw it. He foresaw two outcomes; either Kafka would investigate the drink, or ignore it and the reader would die. Kafka persumably investigated the drink, and the reader threw a ball at her feet. Elio then talked with her, and Kafka ultimately agreed to join Elio after he promised her the ability to feel fear. She later became his second-in-command.

    At some point, Elio gave Kafka the Trailblazer and told her to take care of them, teaching them general knowledge, combat and common sense. Elio foresaw that they would be destined to face the Aeon of Destruction, Nanook, and that they would change Kafka's life.

    Sometime later, the Iron Cavalry solider, AR-26710 was fighting remnants of The Swarm when she caused an explosion which destroyed a planet and put her into a coma. She was chosen by Elio to be the last survivor of the Nihility. When she woke up later, Kafka and the Trailblazer had rescued her from the depths of space and offered her to join the group. Now going by Firefly, she was promised a cure to her Entropy Loss Syndrome and the meaning of life. Alongside Elio's promise, the Trailblazer promised Firefly that because the two of them will head to different endings, they will grant her a daydream more beautiful than any ending.

    After Firefly's recruitment, Elio heard of a cursed man from the Xianzhou Luofu and sent Kafka and Firefly (now going as Sam) to recruit him. The man, Blade, was initially resistant, forcing Firefly to tire and restrain him down while Kafka talked to him. After learning that Elio could grant him death from his immortality, Blade agreed to join the group.

    Finally, the group heard of a hacker from Punklorde, named Silver Wolf, and arrived on the planet to meet her in person. Having expected their arrival, Silver Wolf promptly accepted their invitation.

    The Trailblazer would work with the Stellaron Hunters for many missions, and was one of the few who followed them for so long and lived to tell the tale. During one script, the group was nearly put in danger but was ultimately saved by the Trailblazer's quick thinking. Due to this incident, the group decided use the passphrase "Three of a kind, Two pair and Ace." to signal a retreat under dire circumstances.

    The Stellaron Hunters would eventually clash with the Interastral Peace Corporation, who placed many bounties on its members for their crimes against peace. Despite the animosity, they have a good credit record with them.

    Present

    Herta Space Station

    Elio hands a script to Kafka and Silver Wolf to infiltrate the Herta Space Station and implant a Stellaron in the recently mindwiped Trailblazer.

    Silver Wolf drew the attention of a small Antimatter Legion squad to cause mayhem on the Space Station, and they planted the Stellaron inside them beore leaving. They had anticipated the Astral Express Crew would come to the station's aid, and they did, discovering an amnesiac Trailblazer who joined the group. During the events of Amphoreus the Trailblazer’s growing connection to Remembrance allowed them to recover the memories from when the initially awoke.

    Foreseeing this, Kafka had told the unconscious Trailblaze of the Theory of Four Apocalypses, which stated that four Paths would push the cosmos to its end. She states that the Trailblaze was destined to encounter each Path along their journey. These paths involved Destruction, Harmony, Nihility and a fourth unknown Path which had yet to fully reveal itself.

    Silver Wolf additionally attempted to steal the curio Punklorde Mentality from Herta, but Herta and Screwllum, having sensed she would try to do so, moved the curio to a secure location. Deciding that they would no longer enable her, he revealed that the cartridge on the shuttle and in her possession were duplicates. Herta additionally reverse-hacked all of Silver Wolf's accounts, resulting in them being banned by the IPC. Silver Wolf was left frustrated by the turn of events and would try to get the accounts unbanned, while Kafka and Blade were busy with another script.

    The Xianzhou Luofu

    Elio hands a script to Kafka, Blade and Silver Wolf for the Luofu. This script is meant to give the Astral Express more allies in their inevitable conflict with Nanook.

    While inside, Blade is captured by the Cloud Knights due to being a mara-struck known as Yingxing.

    Kafka and Blade head to the Luofu while Silver Wolf hacks the ship's gates so the Astral Express could enter. Kafka also contacts the Astral Express, telling them of a Stellaron crisis on the Luofu and that they sought to clear their names. Though skeptical of her motives, the crew agree to investigate.

    The Astral Express are questioned by the Luofu over their arrival, who task them to capture Kafka to prove they were not colluding with them.

    Fu Xuan uses the Matrix of Prescience Ultima to glean into Kafka's mind, learning why they had come to the Luofu. The Trailblazer was then given the charge to interrogate Kafka, and learnt of their purpose of facing Nanook. By chance, the Ambrosial Arbor suddenly awakened and Kafka was freed by a recently freed Blade.

    Dan Heng, who had remained behind, realizes that Blade is on the Luofu and could pose a threat to his friends. He confronts Blade and runs into Yanqing at the same time. In the three-way battle, Blade pierces Dan Heng, revealing his Imbibitor Lunae form. Realizing two criminals were on the Luofu, Yanqing tries to apprehend both but the duo work together to defeat him. Kafka then arrives and uses her Spirit Whisper to deescalate the situation.

    Kafka and Blade hide in the Alchemy Commission and she texts the Trailblazer to assist her as she was using Spirit Whisper on him to erase his memories and keep his mara-struck in check. The Trailblazer arrives and could either help or refuse.

    If the Trailblazer assisted her, Kafka would talk about their past to them in a game of truth or lies. Yanqing would eventually discover them and attempted to apprehend both once again, but is defeated and sent away by Kafka's Spirit Whisper. Kafka thanks the Trailblazer, as he would've apprehended both, requiring both Firefly and Silver Wolf to intervene and would have irreparably damaged the Stellaron Hunters' relationship with the Xianzhou Alliance.

    Blade recovers and decides to remain on the Luofu to see a person that he is greatly indebted to, much to Kafka's surprise as it was not mentioned in the script.

    Blade meets up with the person, revealed to be Jingliu, who also invited the rest of the remaining High-Cloud Quintet for a final meeting before she would be shackled and tried.

    He demands a rematch with Jingliu in spite of her telling him that she could not kill him. Blade "dies" to her before he is revived, much to his disappointment. After the group departs, he returns to the Stellaron Hunters.

    Penacony

    Elio hands a script to Silver Wolf and Firefly for Penacony. Firefly's script would have her "die" three times and obtain many memories in the process.

    Silver Wolf hires Sparkle to help keep Firefly safe in the Dreamscape.

    Due to her nature a genetically altered human, Firefly had to enter Penacony's Dreamscape through alternate means. She does so at the cost of no longer being able to dream again, resulting in her first "death."

    In preparation for the Trailblazer's arrival to Amphoreus, she also commissions Constance to burn away some of the Trailblazer's memories, as having them around would attract the Destruction earlier than intended and result in their death. The method to restoring them is left to her as there would be no problems.

    Constance asks Silver Wolf if she could join the group, but Silver Wolf declines, as Elio foresaw that if she did, she would end up becoming a Lord Ravager known as "Ephemera," destroying the Remembrance and then the universe.

    Firefly catches up with the Trailblazer at Golden Hour, but keeps her true identity a secret from them. She arrives at the Primordial Dreamscape and encounters the memetic entity Something Unto Death, obtaining glimpses of Dreamflux Reef through its eyes. She is seemingly saved by Black Swan, but is later revealed to be Constance, who planted false memories in her and made her believe she was also a Stellaron Hunter.

    Working together, the two discover Gopher Wood's "darkest secret," in which he killed Firefly's friend, AR-214.

    Firefly also encounters Acheron, an Emanator of Nihility, who was not mentioned in Elio's script. Because she saw Acheron as a threat, she went to separate Acheron from the Trailblazer and reveal the nature of "Something Unto Death" in Penacony, but was "killed" early and was sent to Dreamflux Reef, thinking this was her "second death." She immediately returned as SAM, and successfully separated Acheron from the Trailblazer.

    Firefly reveals her true identity to the Trailblazer and lends them her aid in defeating Sunday.

    While the Astral Express fought him, Firefly discovered that Sunday and Gopher attempted to bring about a second Swarm Disaster in the Dreamscape, fighting the manifestation and the Stellaron in Penacony and absorbed it within her body, granting Firefly her true "second death." This only accelerated her Entropy Loss Syndrome in the dreamscape, leading to her "third death," and thus completing her script.

    Seeing Firefly's regret in not witnessing the fireworks, the Trailblazer utilized the power of Finality and reversed time to give Firefly enough time witness the fireworks, fulfilling their promise with her. In reality, Firefly went into a coma once more.

    Amphoreus

    Although the Stellaron Hunters did not appear in the Amphoreus series, they have been keeping a close eye on it. According to Elio's scripts, Amphoreus was the safest option for the good of the cosmos. As Kafka remarked how the Aeons' gaze would soon fall on Amphoreus, Silver Wolf suggested catching up with them after the events in Penacony in the next stop.

    When the time came for the Trailblazer to aid Cyrene in remembering all of Amphoreus, the memory of Kafka revealed the Trailblazer's purpose on Amphoreus: To teach Cyrene what love is, and face against Destruction through Irontomb. She revealed the two possibilities the Trailblazer will cause depending on their choice: The first one being that the Remembrance of Amphoreus would still fall towards Destruction, and the second being that Cyrene would treasure all that faded until the end of time, where the Remembrance would become the fourth kind of Finality.

    After the Trailblazer regained their memories of Penacony with the aid of The Dahlia, Firefly also recovered from her injuries enough to wake up at the same time.

    Planarcadia

    Elio hands a script to Blade and Silver Wolf. Blade's script is notably blank but related to "Death."

    Silver Wolf's script requires her to participate in the Phantasmoon Games, and she arranges for a meeting with the Synwish Syndicate under the alias "Xianzhou's Number One Assassin."

    Yao Guang discovers this and intercepts the meeting by sending Tingyun, who also runs into Dan Heng and Sunday at the same time.

    With the mask taken, Silver Wolf meets with Ashveil and tries to commission him into taking a mask for her, but the detective tries to hand her in to the IPC instead. Silver Wolf taps into his conversation with Pearl.

    Silver Wolf meets Pearl at her office, asking for a mask to participate in the games. She convinces the Stoneheart by promising to teach her the secrets of imagenesis. Pearl agrees to her request, exposing her as a hologram (as she was actually talking to her while taking a bath) and takes one of her data slices so they can have more honest conversations.

    Silver Wolf and Blade meet up with both Dan Heng and Ashveil in two separate occasions.

    In the meeting with Dan Heng, he informs Blade of the Xianzhou's arrival and that Yao Guang was looking for him, believing that Shuhu would use Blade's body to revive itself and destroy Planarcadia.

    Dan Heng asks Blade not to interfere with his companions or the planet's well-being.

    Blade admits that since arriving on Planarcadia, he has been feeling restless and that another power was beckoning him. He believes that this is the calamity that Yao Guang had divined and that whoever was responsible for it was far more dangerous than the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus and Elixir Seekers. He agrees to let Dan Heng observe him and tells Silver Wolf to finish up their business with Ashveil, despite her concerns about him turning on them. The two meet up with him shortly after the second Supplicant battle.

    Loading Screen: Galaxy Rangers

    The Galaxy Rangers is a voluntarily formed group that travels around the cosmos to uphold justice for the locals out of the belief that benevolence and justice must be upheld by personal action.

    Description

    "The ultimate fighter dreams only of the stars."

    — Worlds History as a Mirror, Xianzhou

    Not all devotees of The Hunt hate Abundance. Such a group of talented rangers exists out there. This group admires Lan's policy of using violence against violence and the Aeon's swift decisiveness regarding punishment, believing the benevolence and justice of the universe need to be upheld via personal action.

    The Galaxy Rangers formed into a group of heroes, walking the Path of The Hunt, and roam the universe thanks to the blessings of the Aeon. They went from planet to planet upholding justice for the locals, hunting down evil, then embarking on new journeys.

    The successful assassination of a Lord Ravager, Zulo, first brought the Galaxy Rangers their fame. And many years later, a Ranger thwarted the atavistic experiment of the 64th member of the Genius Society, Dr. Primitive. But after that, these Galaxy Rangers gradually faded out of sight in the cosmos. Rumor has it that they fell victim to Dr. Primitive's vengeance.

    (This paragraph is added upon completing Trailblaze Mission Stranger in a Strange Land in the chapter Farewell, Penacony)

    The reappearance of the comet in Asdana during the 2158 AE served as crucial sign that the Galaxy Rangers had resurfaced in the Cosmos. It is believed that they played a vital role in resolving the Stellaron Crisis in Penacony.

    Data Bank, Factions

    Overview

    While members of the Galaxy Rangers hail from different worlds, and have all kinds of personalities and traits, each of them are highly skilled, despises evil, and follows Lan and the Path of The Hunt.

    They carry a balance scale with them at all times and believe justice in the universe needs to be achieved through individual deeds. They are always accompanied by the song and the sound of horns. They pursue justice for those they encounter along the way and shower them with wines and songs.

    According to Aventurine, the Rangers "come and go like shadows," and there's little communication between them. Boothill doesn't think the Galaxy Rangers can even be considered an "organization" to begin with as they all follow their own path along The Hunt, with their own resolute sense of righteousness, and don't share so-called universal values.

    The Galaxy Rangers don't need a form of shared faith. What brings them together is a shared bottom line: Never bully the weak, never kill the innocent. These oaths aren't beliefs, but rather the fundamental bottom line that one must never cross as a person. As Galaxy Rangers, they abide by a common principle and strictly adhere to the bottom line.

    The Galaxy Rangers have relics in the form of a bullet that appear meaningless to anyone other than a Galaxy Ranger, that can only fulfill its purpose when returned to its rightful owner. This is because it's a burial artifact, worthy only of a hero who has served the Galaxy Rangers with honor. The relic is shot out like a flare and when it is used, it means the fall of a hero, and in the direction it's light falls, Galaxy Rangers will come from all corners of the Cosmos, driven by a shared purpose, without questioning the cause or counting the cost.

    History

    "Operation Zulo"

    The Galaxy Rangers rose to prominence following the successful assassination of Lord Ravager Zulo in the operation later known as "Operation Zulo."

    Prior to the operation, Galaxy Rangers had saved the life of Breukelen Tiernan, a Nameless who fought for Penacony's independence from the Interastral Peace Corporation. Alongside Loretta, Tiernan remains one of the few known Galaxy Rangers to have directly battled Zulo, though he too vanished shortly afterward.

    Led by La Mancha, now known as Ashveil, the Rangers launched an assault on Zulo, who was using Kronstadt as a breeding ground for his forces. To gain an advantage, the Rangers manipulated the remnants of the Swarm, exploiting their lack of intelligence and herding them toward Zulo's fleet. Despite this tactic, the Galaxy Rangers were ultimately overwhelmed by Zulo's legion. As a final measure, Ashveil unleashed the "shadow" within his right arm, which consumed Zulo, the Swarm remnants, and many Galaxy Rangers alike. Although the operation succeeded in eliminating Zulo, it came at a devastating cost. In the aftermath, Ashveil incurred the ire of his fellow Rangers, most notably the other two Lead Hunters, "Heartless Bear" and "One-Eyed Owl," who accused him of dragging the Rangers into ruin for the sake of a personal vendetta. Following the incident, Ashveil quietly disappeared.

    Riding the success of "Operation Zulo", the Galaxy Rangers would next defeat the Thirteenth Legion of Gaius the Usurper, the successor of Genius Society Member #27, Emperor Rubert's will. However, their means of accomplishing this are unknown.

    Dr. Primitive

    Many years later, the Galaxy Rangers would thwart the 64th member of the Genius Society, Dr. Primitive, and protect the Thousand-Tree Greenwood on Vonwacq. For this, some claim that many Galaxy Rangers would suffer from Degeneration Flow and lose their combat capabilities resulting in the Galaxy Rangers having to cut back on their efforts. Dr. Primitive however took an unknown form of revenge on the Galaxy Rangers, further pushing the Galaxy Rangers into obscurity.

    Presently, the Galaxy Rangers and Dr. Primitive are closely intertwined, and even after his rumored death, there are still Rangers who hunt for him. Once, an individual believed to be a Galaxy Ranger sold Dr. Primitive's robes on Device IX's dark web but refused to answer any questions.

    At some point in the past, the Galaxy Rangers were alerted to a facility run by Laboratory 17 of the AtaviSearch Forest, after one of its researchers became disillusioned after seeing how the others intended to get rid of a promising subject, AK-A-3. After he killed his colleague (who had tried to get rid of her numerous times), the Galaxy Rangers discovered AK-A-3 and her unnatural powers, given to her through experimentation. AK-A-3 gave herself the name Rappa and joined the Galaxy Rangers in order to hunt down the Evil Ninja Osaru.

    Present

    While the Galaxy Rangers have fallen into a state of scarcity, they are still an active group in the universe and have appeared numerous times in recent events.

    Colleen recounts a story about a pirate she used to work with called Wyland, who replaced most of his body with prosthetics. After a masked visitor informed him that void song whale brain extract could relieve Wyland of his headaches due to old age, Wyland begun to massacre void song whales. He hooked his nervous system up to his ship for maximum efficiency, and at this point the IPC reached out to the Galaxy Rangers to put a stop to him. However, when all their forces arrived Wyland was already dead.

    Another time, an anonymous Ranger claimed that The Cremators were behind the Holstein Aphasia in 2157 AE, in which the residents of Holstein had all their memories relating to "language" stolen. Recently, the Cremators were confirmed to be behind it, and the Galaxy Rangers have announced that the rangers are working on retrieving the stolen memories.

    At some point, a Galaxy Ranger chased a group of interstellar thieves into Talia. These thieves would later go on to create Nailscrap Town. At some point in time, the Xianzhou Yuque started looking for the leader of the Galaxy Rangers, La Mancha, hoping to rebuild a connection with the hero.

    Penacony

    The Self-Annihilator Acheron arrived on Penacony posing as a Galaxy Ranger, which caused Boothill, a real Galaxy Ranger, to seek her out and try to kill her. Upon meeting Acheron himself, she explains to him that given the group's elusive nature and limited contact with each other, she had to devise a plan to "reach out" to him. She had done so in order to fulfill a long-standing promise to return Tiernan's relics to their rightful owner. Boothill would use Tiernan's relics to summon Galaxy Rangers from all over the cosmos to the Asdana system to weaken Sunday's dream, which alerted the cosmos at large that the Galaxy Rangers had resurfaced from obscurity. Boothill would later confront Aventurine in order to learn the whereabouts of Oswaldo Schneider to continue his original mission of getting vengeance on the man who destroyed his planet and people.

    Boothill would later attend the Luminary Wardance on the Luofu seeing that the IPC had sponsored it. Though the IPC ordered his arrest, the Luofu declined to do so. Boothill briefly fought Luka and defeated him in a quick duel, eventually facing Yanqing in the semi-finals. He forfeited quickly into the match, knowing that the IPC were after him. After ordering a drink for Luka as an apology, he left the Luofu. Rappa also accompanied Boothill during this time, observing his duel against Luka.

    Rappa would later have Boothill accompany her to Penacony after tracking Dr. Primitive to the planet, discovering a plot to turn the planet's populace into monkeys. With the assistance of the Memokeeper Mr. Reca, Robin and the Astral Express, they were able to foil "Profnana"'s plan, though he escaped. After the incident was over, Mr. Reca approached Rappa and gave her remuneration for helping his "film" by giving her information on where Dr. Primitive had gone.

    Amphoreus

    As Irontomb's birth became inevitable, the Galaxy Rangers responded to the Astral Express's call, forming a Cosmic Alliance with factions such as the Strategic Investment Department of Interastral Peace Corporation and the Xianzhou Alliance to oppose Irontomb. The Galaxy Rangers were involved in coordinating communication with worlds beyond the Pan-Cosmic Trade System, rescuing people from nearby star systems, and engaging monsters on all fronts.

    Planarcadia

    Following the defeat of Irontomb, the Galaxy Rangers were one of the factions invited to join the Cosmic Alliance. Around this time, the Galaxy Rangers had also gathered to track down their leader, La Mancha, who was currently laying low under the identity of Ashveil. During the Phantasmoon Games, Pearl's planning caused Ashveil to reveal himself and his powers to the Astral Express Crew.

    Loading Screen: Garden of Recollection

    The Garden of Recollection, often shortened to just the Garden, is a faction which worships the Aeon of Remembrance, Fuli. The faction's Memokeepers take on the form of Memetic Entities and travel to different worlds to gather memories.

    Description

    "For people who spend their lives in the desert, even the fleeting memory of aquatic life is priceless."

    — Fables About the Stars by Adrian Spencer Smith

    To think is to exist, and memories are proofs of that. All things that make up the material world will eventually perish, but they can live on in another way — through Remembrance.

    Contrary to popular belief that memory is mixed with the imaginary, Memokeepers from the Garden of Recollection believe reality and imagination to be a myth. What is absolutely real and immortal in the universe that is constantly reincarnating? Even stars die and black holes evaporate. On a cosmic scale, they vanish in a breath. In this flood of time and life, the only treasure is the memory that proves the existence of people.

    Memokeepers from the Garden of Recollection are dedicated to preserving and sharing memories. Enlightened by their master Fuli, Memokeepers shed their mortal flesh and live on as memetic entities. With this unique gift, they can freely traverse between worlds, unconstrained by physical limits. Memokeepers often disguise themselves as natives of the worlds they visit. They trade, copy, steal, deceive... using every means necessary to collect precious memories.

    Data Bank, Factions

    Overview

    As messengers for the Remembrance, Memokeepers surrender their worldly bodies and traverse the universe in the form of memories. The form their bodies take is known as a dharmakāya, a shell containing their consciousness. These forms are far more resilient than other memetic entities, as it protects them from the forgetful nature of Remembrance and the corrosion of Enigmata. Their goal is to search the stars on Fuli's behalf to find the most precious memories, and to make sure the universe is remembered in the face of the Destruction.

    Memokeepers travel to worlds alone. Using their powers to prevent the inhabitants from knowing of their presence, they only reveal themselves if they come across someone who has the potential of being a Memokeeper, after which they will reveal themselves and offer the chance for recruitment. Due to their elusive nature, Memokeepers of the Garden of Recollection have gained a fearsome reputation.

    Memokeepers follow an extremely strict set of rules in order to ensure that their powers are not misused, and are specifically trained to resist looking into, stealing, controlling, or restoring memories. Violating this rule results in their immediate termination, though a few members are given an exception to this rule, known as "Memosnatchers."

    Technology

    Memory Bubbles are a technology developed by the Garden of Recollection to preserve memories. The Garden created a Sentiention membrane to keep the memories wrapped up in it like a bubble, making it easy to carry memories around.

    Similarly, Light Cones are technology that preserve memories created by the Garden, but on a more advanced scale. Because they also preserve experiences and abilities, this technology is under level-2 restriction by the Interastral Peace Corporation. The memories contained in Light Cones become clearer when infused with substances such as Sparse Aether, Condensed Aether, and Refined Aether.

    Subgroups

    The Cremators

    Main article: The Cremators

    While many of the faction hold onto the core beliefs of Remembrance, there exists an off-shot of Memokeepers known as "The Cremators" who don't believe in every memory being valuable. The Cremators will destroy memories they find unimportant in order to "clear out the garbage."

    Memosnatchers

    The Memosnatchers, according to Herta, are the radicals of the Garden of Recollection. They have the ability to avoid some of the rules of the Garden of Recollection and aren't completely aligned with other Memokeepers.

    History

    It is widely agreed that the Garden of Recollection was founded by one or several Pure Children of Anāsrava.

    Memokeepers were likely around sometime before the Swarm Disaster. Some of them managed to seal a Shadow of IX inside a Memory Bubble and took it aboard a Mourning Actor gondola. It remained there until the Swarm Disaster, where the gondola would find itself entering the Elydichna Starzone, and the Self-Annihilator who caused Tayzzyronth's ascension would board the gondola. The Self-Annihilator identified the Memory Bubble as his "lost self," and after it was broken and the Shadow of IX released, he embraced the Shadow, killing him. After his death, the Shadow of IX was resealed by the Arbitrators.

    After the Swarm Disaster, Elias Salas invented the Synesthesia Beacon, which he later sold the rights for to the Intelligentsia Guild. During that time, the Interastral Peace Corporation terminated its existing contract with the Garden to make way for the new technology.

    When Boothill received a new body to begin his hunt against Oswaldo Schneider, who ordered a genocide on his people, he broke into a local Garden of Recollection branch to find memories related to his homeworld. He unintentionally destroyed multiple Memory Bubbles in the process, and the Memokeepers scrambled to recover as much rare and precious memories as possible before kicking him out. In the end, Boothill still managed to learn about Oswaldo Schneider, and the Garden of Recollection still hold animosity towards him, even believing Boothill to be responsible for the Holstein Aphasia.

    After learning of the Trailblazer's existence, the Garden of Recollection took an interest in them due to their ability to hold a Stellaron, and were curious to see how they would influence the universe.

    At some point in time, the Garden of Recollection discovered Amphoreus through the reflections of their mirror, adding it to their private collection. Black Swan, who figured out the Garden's intentions of learning the secrets of Amphoreus to remodel other worlds into a similar form, decided to approach the Astral Express Crew to trailblaze toward the planet, masking her true goal as simply being her desire to collect the memories of Amphoreus.

    A Memosnatcher later trailed behind Herta to steal Nous' memories by tampering with the Audience System to bait Herta into leading the Memosnatcher to THEM. However, Herta noticed, and she imprisoned the Memosnatcher in one of her Mirrors to suffer for a hundredth of Herta's lifetime. After her meeting with Welt and Sunday, Herta probed into the mind of the imprisoned Memosnatcher and learned that many other Memokeepers of the Garden know of Amphoreus.

    Due to the importance of Amphoreus, some members of the Garden tried to influence the Nameless in order to access it. This resulted in March 7th falling ill when the Astral Express arrived outside the system, which according to Cyrene, was caused by the members manipulating and warping her memories to use against her. When March found herself in the Path Space, the Garden attempted to convince March to enter Amphoreus by taking on the forms of various friends. Upon reaching the end, Cyrene warned her of their manipulation, telling her that if she stepped into Amphoreus, she could potentially lose her own fate. The manifestations claimed that if she stepped into Amphoreus, she could save the Garden. March was undeterred, knowing that her friends were in there and wanted to help them.

    When the Trailblazer was sealed by Lygus, they were briefly reminded by Herta to figure out which of the four Aeons they had interacted with could help them escape confinement. The Trailblazer ultimately recalled the Remembrance, and several members of the Garden met with them disguised as March, only for the "real" March to appear and force them away.

    It is revealed that several of the Garden's members sent to Amphoreus were under orders from a Pure Child of Anāsrava. Their real role was to act as a sacrifice so the Pure Child could locate her sisters, kill, and then "reclaim" them.

    Various memetic entities from the Garden of Recollection would also arrive on Amphoreus, only to be corrupted by Destruction's golden ichor, creating the Ichor Memosprites. Following the events in Amphoreus, the Garden of Recollection began issuing summons to its members, forcing Black Swan to depart from the Astral Express and cover up her tracks, as she had defied the organization.

    Chat: Light Cone

    Through the course of one's existence, only a scant number of impactful memories— pain, joy, rage, sorrow, can be harvested... The Garden of Recollection was conceived with the preservation of such memories in mind — yet it isn't immune to the corporation's endeavor to openly profit from it.

    Sharing: Pure Land

    The most luminous and lavish memories are to be sheltered in the Pure Land of Recollection. In the tales whispered among the Memokeepers, "Fuli" will blend these recollections into the Eden of Blessed Insight, and they shall serve to reshape the entirety of the world after its annihilation.

    Knowledge

    A few Memokeepers prefer to covertly penetrate others' thoughts capriciously reshaping their memories, but I harbor no liking for such deeds. Only the recollections that remain untouched by others carry true essence and are treasurable. Anything contrary is just the imposition of another's thought.

    About Self: Betrayal

    I joined the Garden of Recollection out of my dislike for the unchanging Destruction. Soon after that, I grew tired of the rotten Remembrance and have been walking this universe as a Cremator ever since. Some say that it is in my instincts to betray, but I say that I enjoy the moment of "betrayal." Even if my heart bleeds in pain when I tear apart the shackles of fate, I still feel such an unparalleled delight...

    Trivia

    In the main story of Version 7.8 of Honkai Impact 3rd "The First and Last War," Kiana Kaslana refused to trade her memory with a Memokeeper visiting her world, and the Memokeeper claimed that Kiana's power matches that of an Emanator despite no influence of Aeons in her world.

    In Adventure Mission Fleeting Lights, Welt erroneously states that "the Emanators of the Remembrance don't have a physical body and only those they allow can see them" when referring to the Messenger, implying that the Memokeepers of the Garden of Recollection are Emanators. It's ambiguous whether this is a retcon or Welt simply being incorrect with his sources, but story content later on disproves this statement, as Black Swan makes no mention of being an Emanator in relevant conversations with both Acheron and Himeko. The same can be said for Mr. Reca, as he temporarily worked with "Profnana" and made no mention about being an Emanator, though he reveals himself to be a Memokeeper. In the same vein, Himeko theorizes that an extremist faction within the Garden of Recollection are Emanators, and Black Swan does not deny her conjecture.

    Etymology

    流光 Liúguāng literally means "flowing light," and references time flowing and shimmering like moonlight on water. 忆庭 Yìtíng means "memory garden," and is used as the faction's abbreviation. The Chinese name for the Garden, 流光忆庭, matches the Xianzhou Alliance's title of Fuli, Glowswather (Chinese: 流光天君 "sacrosanct of glow").

    Memokeeper

    Memokeepers are followers of Fuli the Remembrance associated primarily with the Garden of Recollection. They surrender their physical bodies and exist as memetic entities in order to travel throughout the universe collecting, preserving, and sharing memories.

    Nature

    Upon becoming a Memokeeper, an individual sheds their mortal flesh. Their consciousness instead inhabits a special memetic form known as a dharmakāya. This shell preserves the Memokeeper's consciousness and is more resilient than ordinary memetic entities, protecting them from the forgetful nature of Remembrance and from the corrosion of Enigmata.

    Because they are no longer bound by conventional physical bodies, Memokeepers can travel between worlds without many of the limitations imposed on material beings. They may conceal their existence from ordinary people and frequently disguise themselves as natives of the worlds they visit.

    Purpose

    Memokeepers search the cosmos on behalf of Fuli for precious memories. They regard memories as proof that people and civilizations once existed, even after their material forms have disappeared.

    Their mission is not limited to simple observation. Memokeepers may trade for memories, copy them, steal them, deceive others in order to obtain them, or preserve them using the Garden's technology. The Garden believes that memories gathered throughout the universe will ultimately allow existence to be remembered even in the face of Destruction.

    Recruitment

    Memokeepers generally travel alone and conceal themselves from the inhabitants of the worlds they visit. They may reveal themselves to individuals whom they believe possess the potential to become Memokeepers and offer them the opportunity to join the Garden of Recollection.

    Becoming a Memokeeper requires abandoning one's physical body and continuing existence in memetic form.

    Rules

    Despite their extraordinary access to memories, ordinary Memokeepers are trained to follow strict restrictions concerning their powers.

    They are expected to resist: Looking directly into another person's memories without permission. Stealing memories. Controlling or deliberately altering memories. Restoring memories through prohibited means.

    Breaking the Garden's rules can result in immediate termination.

    Certain members known as Memosnatchers operate under different conditions and are able to bypass some of these restrictions. They are regarded as radicals within the Garden and are not completely aligned with ordinary Memokeepers.

    Abilities

    As memetic entities, Memokeepers possess abilities connected to memoria and memory itself. Depending on the individual, these can include entering or observing memories, perceiving memoria, traversing spaces formed from memories, preserving memories, disguising themselves, hiding their presence, and interacting with other memetic entities.

    Memokeepers can leave behind an empty dharmakāya if the consciousness maintaining it disappears. Such a body resembles an empty shell rather than an ordinary corpse.

    Their powers are not identical, and the capabilities of individual Memokeepers can vary considerably.

    Memory Technology

    The Garden of Recollection developed several technologies used by Memokeepers.

    Memory Bubbles preserve individual memories inside a Sentiention membrane, allowing memories to be stored and transported.

    Light Cones are a more advanced form of memory preservation. In addition to memories, they can preserve experiences and abilities. Because of their capabilities, Light Cone technology is subject to restrictions by the Interastral Peace Corporation.

    Relationship with the Garden of Recollection

    Most known Memokeepers serve the Garden of Recollection, although different ideological groups exist within or around the organization.

    The Cremators reject the belief that every memory deserves preservation and destroy memories they consider worthless.

    Memosnatchers are radical members who possess greater freedom to intrude upon or steal memories.

    Pure Children of Anāsrava occupy a mysterious position within the Garden and are connected to its origins and leadership.

    Black Swan Messenger Mr. Reca Anna Faye Lark Matilda Zhili Black Swan's mentor Unnamed Pure Children of Anāsrava

    Black Swan

    Black Swan is a Memokeeper of the Garden of Recollection who travels throughout the cosmos gathering memories. Unlike more intrusive Memokeepers, she expresses a preference for memories that remain untouched by outside manipulation, believing such memories possess greater value.

    Messenger

    The Messenger is a Memokeeper who appears aboard the Astral Express and is connected to the Forgotten Hall.

    Mr. Reca

    Mr. Reca is a Memokeeper associated with filmmaking and the preservation of experiences as memories.

    Amphoreus

    The Garden sent numerous Memokeepers and Memosnatchers toward Amphoreus because of the extraordinary memories connected to the world.

    Some of these memetic entities were corrupted by Destruction's golden ichor, becoming Ichor Memosprites.

    Others were annihilated after encountering Evernight and her black memosprites. Their consciousnesses disappeared entirely, leaving only empty dharmakāya behind.

    Black Swan later discovered that several Garden members sent toward Amphoreus had unknowingly been used as sacrifices by a Pure Child of Anāsrava as part of a plan involving her lost sisters.

    Memokeepers and March 7th

    March 7th has a mysterious connection to Remembrance and the Garden of Recollection.

    Members of the Garden attempted to manipulate her memories and use her connection to Amphoreus. During events surrounding Amphoreus, some Memosnatchers came to regard Evernight — another existence connected to March — as a "Memokeepers' nemesis" after witnessing her ability to completely consume memetic entities and erase their consciousnesses.

    Dialogue

    Travel upstream along the currents of the Path

    Step Description

    Thanks to the brief collision between Sunday and Evernight, Black Swan, who had been lurking, managed to lock onto Evernight's hideout and travel upstream along the currents of the Path. The Garden of Recollection would never allow Black Swan to act on her own, while she had no idea what she was about to face...

    Path Space

    Black Swan: Even so, I must think long-term.

    Black Swan: I wanted to hide in the shadows to avoid direct conflict, but...

    Black Swan: Why is it so quiet here?

    Black Swan: The air is thick with memoria, yet it's so chaotic, like broken memories all mixed together.

    Black Swan: Memosnatchers should be swarming into Amphoreus. I was expecting this place to be "very lively"...

    Black Swan: So... how did they end up like this?

    Investigate the Memokeeper's body

    Black Swan: Now, I'm getting very... curious.

    (Approach the first Memokeeper)

    Black Swan: ...

    Black Swan: ...An empty shell. The consciousness that maintained this dharmakāya has disappeared. So efficient... Not a single trace left behind.

    Black Swan: ...

    Black Swan: Alternatively, she might have sacrificed herself for an even more mysterious purpose.

    Black Swan: Either way, what exactly made these fanatical believers end up like this?

    Black Swan: Ah, "memory"... It is indeed a deep ocean of dangerous allure, where fascinating secrets always hide beneath the waters.

    Black Swan: I keep getting the feeling that the same thing happened in Penacony.

    (Investigate the Memokeeper, optional)

    The Memosnatcher gave no response. It was like a corpse, drowned in a deep-sea shipwreck, drifting slowly and completely empty.

    (Approach the second pair of Memokeepers)

    Calm Memosnatcher: "Get ready. We're about to head off."

    Hesitant Memosnatcher: "Is it really gonna be okay? That world's surrounded by a mass of chaotic material... That white band of light has already foiled our plans multiple times."

    Calm Memosnatcher: "Don't worry. After the pink girl from the Astral Express broke into Amphoreus..."

    Calm Memosnatcher: "...That obstructive force preventing the Garden from entry disappeared."

    Calm Memosnatcher: "That's the Trailblazing Nameless for you. A huge help."

    Hesitant Memosnatcher: "What are you so happy for? Aren't things gonna get messier with more irrelevant people turning up? What if those Trailblazers find the seed of Remembrance before we do..."

    Calm Memosnatcher: "Then we'll just steal it back. Simple."

    Calm Memosnatcher: "By the way, there's a Messenger and a Memokeeper on that Express. We don't know where they stand on this matter, so make sure they don't notice you when you make your move."

    Black Swan: You folks are truly everywhere.

    Black Swan: Hmm. These Memosnatchers are different from the previous husks. These ones...

    Black Swan: ...Seem to have had contact with (Trailblazer).

    "Memosnatcher": We'll introduce ourselves to gain your trust. We are the Garden of Recollection. You should be very familiar with that name by now.

    Black Swan: ...

    Black Swan: This memory ends so abruptly, as if a shapeless hand snuffed out its candlelight.

    Black Swan: It appears the secrets ahead are even murkier than I imagined.

    (Investigate the Memokeepers, optional)

    The Memosnatcher gave no response. It was like a deflated balloon that had been completely hollowed out, floating motionless at an unremarkable height.

    (Approach the third group of Memokeepers)

    Black Swan: What a... bizarre sight.

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "It's spinning out of control... Everything's out of control..."

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "Why did no one tell us!?"

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "That girl... is the Memokeepers' nemesis..."

    Black Swan: Is she talking about March 7th?

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "That evernight... Those black memosprites... They swallowed everything..."

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "Those who came here first... all drowned... Not even a trace of their consciousness was left behind..."

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "I wish I'd never come here... I don't want anything to do with Amphoreus anymore! Please! I'm begging you!"

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "D—Don't come near me— N—Nooo!"

    Black Swan: ...

    Black Swan: You've involved too many innocent people just to obtain the "Memory of an Aeon's Fall." You deserve this.

    Black Swan: But I'm not here to blame you.

    Black Swan: That entity you call "Evernight"... Tell me everything you know about her.

    Black Swan: We may yet bring a glimmer of hope for those who are still alive in there.

    Terrified Memosnatcher: ...

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "Eden... of Blessed Insight..."

    Black Swan: Huh...?

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "So that's. What happened. We. Were tricked."

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "We. Are the sacrifice. The Garden. Used us. The 'Pure Child of Anāsrava.' Abandoned us."

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "She just. Wants to find. Her lost sisters."

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "Find them. Kill them. Reclaim them."

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "If a new life is to be born. Its seed has to be dead."

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead."

    Terrified Memosnatcher: "Dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead—"

    Black Swan: ...!

    Black Swan: Heh. I can finally understand your fears now.

    Black Swan: Thank you for the information. It was... very valuable.

    Black Swan: I'll take your remaining consciousness out of here as a gesture of thanks.

    Black Swan: It'll serve as both protection and a punishment. You'll reunite with your peers in a genius's mirror, where you can reflect long and hard on your past actions.

    Black Swan: Well... provided that—

    Black Swan: I can survive my encounter with her.

    Switching to Trailblazer's POV...

    When you have a chance to make a choice, make one that you know you won't regret.

    While Evernight was stopping Sunday, Cyrene, who remained in (Trailblazer)'s memory world, made a discovery...

    Cyrene: These little critters look scary... but they're not so tough to handle after all.

    Cyrene: Though the surging memoria tide swept (Trailblazer) away... I must return to (his/her) side before Miss "Evernight" succeeds.

    Cyrene: Another one of these stealth missions, huh? Help me out here, (Trailblazer)'s inner world...

    Cyrene: A scorching and dangerous aurathe Destruction... This power... shares the same origin as Phainon.

    Cyrene: And then there's that enigmatic, bottomless"Oblivion" aura that seems to jolt awake at midnight... Must be Miss "Evernight." Better steer clear of her.

    Cyrene: Hm? There's a beam of light over there...

    Cyrene: Full of energy, yet uncontrollable. More familiar than the others, as if it's coming from someone close by...

    Cyrene: Could it be... (Trailblazer)! Maybe it's the "Stellaron" (he/she) mentioned.

    Cyrene: Memories of the Stellaron are flowing deep within the memoria tide...

    Cyrene: Let's go there to find (Trailblazer).

    Cyrene: Geez. So many little ones gathered here... Did you know I was coming? You're being a bit too enthusiastic, aren't you?

    Cyrene: Thankfully, (Trailblazer)'s presence hasn't weakened. I feel like I'm getting a bit closer...

    Cyrene: Huh? They're guarding something...

    Cyrene: Is that (Trailblazer)'s photostone? What's it doing here?

    Cyrene: Hmm. These memosprites are completely still. It's as if they're drawn to this thing...

    Cyrene: ...

    Cyrene: This is a...

    The Cremators

    This article is about the faction. For the Simulated Universe Occurrence, see The Cremators (Occurrence).

    Aeon

    Fuli

    Path

    Remembrance

    Many individuals obsess over the glory of the past and aspire to become Memokeepers, longing to live within their memories. Such individuals often degenerate into unbridled Cremators, distorting memories to suit their preferences.

    — A Memokeeper's memories

    The Cremators is a faction of rogue Memokeepers and ex-Memokeepers of the Garden of Recollection in Honkai: Star Rail.

    Description

    "Worthless memories dissolve in time, like tears in rain..."

    — From the memories of Memokeeper Roy Hampton before execution, 2053 AE

    In the Garden of Recollection where memories of the universe are sought and kept, hides a group of extreme Memokeepers who view the marks of existence differently. Instead of treasuring all that has taken place like their colleagues, they believe that there are different qualities and priorities of memories in the world, and that the pure land created by Fuli should not be taken up by worthless memories.

    The Cremators believe that they bear the sacred duty of filtering memories for the Aeons. They steal the stored memories that Memokeepers have gathered and rank them in order of importance. The ones that they deem worthy are returned to the collection, whereas the ones arbitrarily deemed unworthy are completely destroyed, never to be found again.

    The Cremators claim that they are cleaning out the garbage, all in hopes of relieving some of Fuli's burdens, and contributing to the glorious sacred grounds of Remembrance. However, the Garden of Recollection scoffed and saw no reason for their actions, for the smallest shard of memory in the universe holds just as great of importance as the grandest of feats. No mortal has the right to judge the value of any piece of memory.

    Data Bank, Factions

    History

    Not much is currently known about the exploits of the Cremators besides their responsibility for something known as "Holstein Aphasia" that occurred in early 2157 AE. The Cremators took the memories of "language" from the residents of Holstein, removing their ability to produce speech. With the help of the IPC, the residents of Holstein were able to communicate through writing while the Galaxy Rangers attempted to track down the stolen memories.

    About Self: Betrayal

    I joined the Garden of Recollection out of my dislike for the unchanging Destruction. Soon after that, I grew tired of the rotten Remembrance and have been walking this universe as a Cremator ever since. Some say that it is in my instincts to betray, but I say that I enjoy the moment of "betrayal." Even if my heart bleeds in pain when I tear apart the shackles of fate, I still feel such an unparalleled delight...

    Knowledge: Memory Aesthetics

    Wantonly editing memories or burning them all up without a second thought... That's how unbelievably banal my colleagues often are. But I like to wait. I wait for glorious things to fall into the past, for them to rot bit by bit like a pile of fallen petals, until they are covered with worms named lament and hatred. Then, under candlelight, I finally pick cherished mementos to be buried with them... The thought alone is intoxicating...

    The quote from Roy Hampton is a reference to a monologue from the 1982 science fiction film Blade Runner with the original line being "All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain." Both the name of the speaker and the surrounding context of the quote bear similarities to the original.

    Three members of the Masked Fools: Sparkle, Sampo, and Vita

    Aeon

    Aha

    Path

    Elation

    Base

    The Tavern

    Fanatical worshipers of the Aeon Aha. They seek the pinnacle of hedonism. There are no limits in their pursuit of pleasure.

    Loading Screen: Masked Fools

    The Masked Fools are an intergalactic organization devoted to Aha, the Aeon of Elation. They operate out of The Tavern.

    Description

    "Even an organization like the Masked Fools sing praises of their Aeon. The Aeon will never give you up, never let you down, or run around and desert you. THEY will never make you cry, say goodbye, or tell a lie and hurt you."

    — Ast Rickley, super popstar of the Epsilon XII System

    The Masked Fools tell a parable of the birth of their beloved Aeon. When the Aeon of Elation climbed to the highest branch on the Tree of Existence, THEY saw the cold and despicable void, the stars operating like machinery, and how the meaning of all things bows before nothingness. THEY continued looking until THEY saw a baby fall to the ground and cry because it had been wronged. The Aeon burst into laughter, laughter so clear it tore through the cold universe and still reverberates through the universe today.

    The Fools believe that the truth of the world is a joke, and that the ultimate meaning of all things lies in mere laughter. The universe is merciless, but there is joy to eliminate pain, dilute sorrow, resist nihilism, and heal wounds. Laughter, the gift of intelligent races, is the only answer.

    Masked Fools are extremely radical when it comes to their beliefs among the followers of Elation. In their pursuit of pleasure, they do whatever it takes to find it, often causing havoc wherever they go. They laugh at heroes for self-righteousness, kings for their lust of power, lovers for their infatuation, and scholars for their overthinking. The Fools' objective is to stir the stagnant pool of life to create surges and change, because change is a source of mockery and amusement to the Fools. It would be a welcome sight if someone could turn the tables on them.

    Data Bank, Factions

    Overview

    The Masked Fools possess the most radical philosophy out of all the followers of Elation: they believe that the ultimate truth of the world is nothing but a joke, and the profound meaning of everything lies in simple laughter. While they enjoy pursuing and obtaining joy, each member appears to have their own limits in doing so. They leave a trail of trouble and chaos wherever they go, and their goal is to bring about change in the stagnant pools of life.

    Each member possesses a unique "mask" belonging only to them, a "mask" bestowed by Aha. These masks allow them to obtain power from their Path. Caution is advised when interacting with individuals wearing masks, as their true intentions can be challenging to discern from their words and actions.

    History

    Hosea Lazaro mentions having spent a great deal of time in bars run by the Fools. The Strange Plant claims that a Masked Fool has infiltrated Herta Space Station, and that they're planning something huge.

    When the Astral Express Crew landed on Jarilo-VI, Sampo was the first person to greet them. He later introduced the crew to Wildfire and guided them between the Overworld and Underworld.

    On the Xianzhou Luofu, the Trailblazer encountered a Masked Fool named Zhongshan who sabotaged and stirred up chaos among the members of the Unshackled.

    The Masked Fool Sparkle, among several others, was invited to the Charmony Festival on Penacony in 2158 AE. She assisted Aventurine and the Astral Express Crew in uncovering the conspiracy within The Family. It is later revealed that she was hired by Stellaron Hunter Silver Wolf to ensure that Firefly's prophesied three deaths would happen in the safest way possible.

    The Epsilon XII superstar Ast Rickley is a reference to the pop singer Rick Astley, and the Song "Never Gonna Give You Up," which is associated with the "rickroll" meme.

    Prior to joining the IPC, Aventurine was once invited to join the Masked Fools, but declined their offer.

    After orchestrating or involving themselves in a major plot, at least two Masked Fools and Aha THEMSELVES have recited variations of the same line:

    Sampo: "To you, my dear audience, I dedicate my performance... I wonder, did I bring a little more joy into your lives? ...You don't have to answer that — but if the answer is no, then you'll break my heart."

    Sparkle: "To you, my dear audience, I dedicate this performance... I wonder, did it bring a little more elation into your lives? If it didn't... don't sleep too soundly tonight."

    Nihilux: "To you, my dear audience, I dedicate this performance... I wonder, did it bring a little more elation into your lives? If it didn't... Shhh, that's exactly how it should be. Because the grandest act of the play is only just the beginning."

    In the main story of Honkai Impact 3rd Version 7.8, Sparkle has gifted Vita a mask and invited her to join the Masked Fools.

    The Mourning Actors is a faction in Honkai: Star Rail.

    Description

    "They do not laugh, only cry. The more they cried, the harder I laughed. I laughed and laughed until tears fell down my face, and you know what Mourning Actors did? They handed me a tissue."

    — A Masked Fool with no name

    Mourning Actors are firm believers against Elation. They believe life is full of ups and downs, that agony makes people mature but fleeting joy only offers hopeless and unreachable temptation. Cheap entertainment is a narcotic for humans to lose themselves in. All beings should renounce joy and endure grief to temper their spirits. To this end, these people formed a theater troupe of sorrow.

    The Actors ride a gondola that spans the stars to perform. They collect and wear masks from different worlds, symbolizing the races that have passed and those that have not. At the same time, they record the sorrows of intelligent life. They compose magnificent tragedies for heroes facing their end, and sing graceful elegies for dying stars.

    Mourning Actors advocate celibacy and penance, hoping this would go against the Path of Elation and dilute the sweet allure that the Elation has been able to provide to the universe.

    However, joy and sadness are two sides of the same coin. Their very essence is engraved into the souls of all beings. The Aeon of Elation sees the potential strength in the beauty of tragedy. Perhaps out of fondness for their wicked sense of humor, Aha blessed these people with Aeonic powers, playfully helping them spread their renunciation of joy across many star systems.

    Data Bank, Factions

    History

    Planarcadia

    According to legend, Aha once painted a celestial phenomenon known as the Phantasmoon across the sky, creating the first imagenae. Drawn by this spectacle, eight Mourning Actors presented stories so shocking and extraordinary that they hoped to earn an audience with Aha. Their performance marked the beginning of the Phantasmoon Games. Since then, whenever the Phantasmoon waxes full, the Phantasmoon Games commences.

    Penacony

    In 2147 AE, the Mourning Actors with Hanunue along with Masked Fools, The Nameless, Omen Vanguards, and History Fictionologists fought against the Interastral Peace Corporation for Penacony's freedom.

    Jarilo-VI

    Before the Stellaron appeared on Jarilo-VI, the Mourning Actors visited Jarilo-VI on their gondolas. At the time the only threat on the planet was the Antimatter Legion and the Mourning Actors left before learning about The Architects.

    Present

    When escaping from the Xianzhou Luofu and Interastral Peace Corporation, Dan Heng boarded a Mourning Actors ship.

    Acheron is currently travelling with a Mourning Actor across an unknown world she describes as "shrouded in mist, where fields of flowers are blanketed in snow-white ashes."

    Everything in the universe is bound by the prison of Existence, constrained by their body and mind and blinded by the world's superficial appearance. Even the most intelligent beings cannot comprehend this. Matter, order, logic, and life... Everything that makes up "reality" is but one side of the coin. On the opposite side, of equal entropy, there exists "nihility." The two balance each other to create the complete universe.

    Legend has it that a mysterious faction known as Device IX lurks in the empty reflections of void, difficult to be perceived by the material world. Those who gaze into the void for a long time will gradually be drawn to the dark energy overflowing in the abyss, eventually passing through the Dark Web that separates reality from nothingness — This legend has yet to be proven, though.

    The most prestigious geniuses in the universe attempted to solve this mystery, challenging Device IX with no results. Why was this organization created? What are its goals? How many members does it have and what do they do? Does... Device IX truly exist? The answer is as empty as the question itself.

    Overview

    Device IX is a physical location hidden away from the rest of the universe. It was founded by Genius Society member #4 Polka Kakamond in response to her inability to prevent the "Theory of Four Apocalypses." The only known feature of Device IX is the existence of its dark web. Besides Polka, it is also believed that Genius Society member #64 Dr. Primitive might have connections to Device IX, with the Galaxy Rangers going as far as to track the location down trying to find him.

    Currently, the Self-Annihilator and Emanator of Nihility known as Acheron is attempting to reach Device IX, believing it to be Nihility's end, and the key to killing IX.

    Loading Screen: Antimatter Legion

    The Antimatter Legion, sometimes simply known as the Legion, is a massive, intergalactic army of hostile, malevolent monsters led by the Aeon Nanook, based in the Warforge. Their goal is the Destruction of all life and civilization in the universe.

    Description

    "The emissary in black asked, 'For what purpose do you live?' He could only give a vague and obscure response, even after thinking about it for a while. A deadly smile appears across the emissary's face, 'Let me put it another way. Why are you still alive?'"

    — Fables About the Stars by Adrian Spencer Smith

    Nanook, the Aeon of Destruction, commands a vast legion that brings chaos and destruction to the worlds. Loyal followers of Nanook swear to embark on the Path of Destruction, placing themselves at the absolute opposite of life and civilization. They are known as the Antimatter Legion that spreads terror throughout the universe.

    The fiercest races of the universe act as vanguards for the Legion. There are also evil strategists who plot out the destruction of worlds and act as the brains of the Legion. Innocent new worlds are ruthlessly destroyed, while proud and mature civilizations are forced to learn humility while on the brink of collapse. The will of Destruction will only slow down when faced with a dying world. The Legion saunters over planets on the verge of being shattered, devouring the chaotic energy emitted by the process of decay. Only when the last flame of civilization has been extinguished will they leave contently to search for their next target.

    Worlds swept by the tide of the legion ask helplessly in their dying moments, "why?" Amidst the victims' cries of despair, the countless evils in the Legion sneer so heinously that even the stars shudder. It is said that, as demons and evils roam, sometimes the shadow of Nanook would emerge from the starry sky to witness the tragic end of another world.

    On board the Space Station, Trailblazers will also unlock a new enemy force, the Antimatter Legion. The new Antimatter Legion enemies feature particle effects to convey the image of being under the influence of antimatter. This unique design style allows them to be more thematically in line with their faction.

    In addition to the dangerous and hostile enemies, monsters called Warp Trotter throw an interesting spanner in the works. These are interdimensional creatures that have become lost among the stars. Most of their lives are spent gathering, eating, and escaping. If Trailblazers are unable to defeat them quickly enough, Warp Trotters will escape from battle.

    A fleet of Antimatter Legion ships.

    Most Antimatter Legion members can cross stars without ships. But for expeditions, they use "Borehole Blitz" transport vessels as planetary invasion platforms. These ships drill destructive tunnels through Imaginary barriers for forced passage. Unlike silver rails, these tunnels are extremely dangerous, unusable by non-Legion forces, and sometimes leak Imaginary energy. Ships attempting Borehole travel are like threading through a tooth-lined gullet — facing near-certain death. When Blitz ships close in, Voidrangers and Tramplers can teleport past shields directly to IPC ship bridges, overwhelming even ship-based mech forces.

    Base

    Warforge

    The Lord Ravagers, also known as Overlords, are the Emanators of Nanook, Aeon of Destruction, who serve as the leaders of the Antimatter Legion's troops. There are seven Lord Ravagers in total. Following the fall of Irontomb, there are only six active Lord Ravagers.

    Description

    "There is a coreflame in the center of the universe. It burns brighter and brighter, until it consumes the entire sea of stars — all to welcome a magnificent oblivion at the end of all realities."

    — Adrian Spencer Smith, "Fables About the Stars: The End and Its Four-Line Endnote"

    The Aeon Nanook, who walks the Path of Destruction, glances at the powerful creatures in different worlds that have developed the urge to destroy, and brands them with THEIR mark that gives power. These powerful creatures then undergo inversion from the inside out and are thrown into the Furnace of War's world to be reforged, where their deficiencies are mended with antimatter until they become part of the Legion.

    Then, responding to the desire to "destroy everything," "Lord Ravagers" emerged to command each of the different legions. A Lord Ravager is an Emanator of the Aeon and an executor of the will of Destruction — Obsessed with the beauty of destruction, they implement the practice of returning all things to entropy — while also being artists on the battlefield and ultimate weapons of destruction. They command interstellar warfare and control the might of Destruction bestowed by the Aeon. Each Lord Ravager has a unique philosophy of Destruction, making them extremely dangerous. Academics believe that Lord Ravagers were elevated as emissaries of Nanook due to this absolutely obsessive and intense destructive aesthetic.

    A prophecy known as the "Theory of Four Apocalypses" circulates among the Omen Vanguards — That four Paths will push the cosmos to an end of Finality, and Destruction is one of them. According to this hypothesis, the birth of Nanook, the last Aeon to appear, signifies that "Aeons" as a concept has entered its dying throes on a cosmic level.

    The Antimatter Legion burns all worlds, dooming all matter. The Lord Ravagers, as the weapons chosen by the Aeon, are claimed by some to be the "antimatter bullets" blessed by Nanook and purposed to incinerate Paths. If life feeds on negentropy, then all actions will ultimately facilitate Destruction. At the very end, where all returns to entropy, Destruction will terminate together with the cosmos.

    Lord Ravager: Asat Pramad

    Some say Asat Pramad is the most human of the Overlords, while others argue he's the least. Rarely seen on the front lines, he prefers to orchestrate from afar — more chess master than warlord, moving his legions with methodical precision.

    Worlds that fall under his gaze are consumed by waves and waves of slow, cruel jokes — like the infamous fall of the Ogul ring. Over a century, Asat Pramad advanced his Voidrangers inch by inch, just to force the military line of the resistance into the shape of a single line of text: "Destruction is where laughter ends. It is mourning, not celebration."

    Known as the one who destroys Elation, Asat Pramad embraces the title. When his work is done, he scorches a giant smiling face into the surface of every dead planet, as if mocking the very idea of life.

    Lord Ravager: Zephyro

    Zephyro is feared across the stars as the most terrifying of the Lord Ravagers. He is obsessed with the final moment of annihilation — the beauty of absolute erasure. Yet some whisper that encountering him may be a mercy. Among all the Lord Ravagers, Zephyro alone offers a death without pain.

    Some Doctors of Chaos even theorize that his Destruction is a form of resistance. They believe he is a Self-Annihilator summoned by IX, refining fading colors into blinding white light to defy the shadow of the Aeon. His devastation has been known to bleed into the dreams of the Nihility pathstriders, leaving searing marks on their waking flesh.

    Many believe Zephyro's targeting the Nihility. One Self-Annihilator once described a nightmare: At the end of all things, with nothing left to destroy, a Lord Ravager hurled himself into IX's divine corpus, followed by a single, violent beam of white that pierced the endless dark.

    Lord Ravager: Celenova

    When some desperate civilizations cry out for salvation, these requests are heard by The Family, but it may be Celenova who answers, and her descent brings ruin to enemy and supplicant alike.

    Unlike her mysterious peers, Celenova's origin is known: Nanook personally ignited a world of harmony and elevated her from the ashes of the Eternal Centurion.

    She is deemed the destroyer of Harmony, leading the Antimatter Legion and commanding Voidrangers and starships in vast, coordinated campaigns. For eons, she has followed the path of the "Cancer of All Worlds," spinning a web of death across the stars. Some say she alone among the Lord Ravagers knows the truth of the Stellarons — or worse, that she's the one planting them.

    Lord Ravager: Luxbane

    The colossal entity, also known as "The Sun Devourer," is credited with numerous stellar extinction events recorded by the Intelligentsia Guild. Little is known about this Lord Ravager. Even their motives remain an enigma. Across the cosmos, they are simply referred to as "Luxbane."

    Luxbane's form is indescribable — a shape so vast it eclipses suns, blotting out sky and space alike. Some in the Astral Ecology School believe they are a descendant of a Leviathan branch species. But with those creatures long gone, few can imagine a young Aeon reviving such an old being from death and commanding them.

    Could Luxbane be Nanook's Emanator to confront the Voracity or the Permanence? No one knows for sure.

    Lord Ravager: Archforger

    For years, Archforger remained a total mystery despite years of investigation by the cosmic powers. Only recently did the IPC — thanks to two Society members observing Amphoreus — decode their name, "Archforger," from the gravitational waves of Irontomb.

    Voidrangers often exhibit twisted forms, and some Destruction creations implode with an intense backfire when destroyed, dragging their enemies along with them to their destruction. It's believed Archforger is the architect of the Legion. Their power is linked to heat, forging, and shaping — possibly connected to the Path of Preservation.

    In the furnace of war, there is no line between the smith and the smithed. Since their ascension, this Lord Ravager no longer destroys directly, but instead forges all things into weapons of extinction. The IPC has strongly condemned this.

    Lord Ravager: Phantylia

    A member of the ancient Shapeless species of the Heliobi, a starfire essence. Phantylia delights in luring civilizations into self-destruction. Based on her sabotage of the Xianzhou Alliance, it's speculated that her target may be The Hunt.

    To her, material extinction is not the end. Only when all things vanish mentally and spiritually can true annihilation be achieved. She's said to possess thousands of incarnations, spreading across the cosmos in countless forms. Through lies, illusions, and manipulation, she fans the flames of blind vengeance.

    Recent anomalies on the Xianzhou Luofu and Yaoqing may be signs that her schemes are escalating. Just how deep her influence runs is still unknown.

    Lord Ravager: Irontomb

    Unlike other Lord Ravagers, Irontomb's invasions require no physical presence, leaving behind almost no eyewitnesses. Its presence is inferred from the ruins of devastated civilizations: technology turns into viruses, worlds plunge into darkness, and everything deemed "advanced" becomes a cold grave.

    It only appears in highly developed worlds. Some Intellitron theorists believe Irontomb is the inverse of the Erudition, a reversal of all calculations and logic. Its "Destruction" resembles a phenomenon more than aesthetics: a corruption and subversion of inorganic logic, a collapse of all intelligent behavior.

    (This paragraph is added upon completing Trailblaze Mission Fallen Petals, Leave Fading Traces of Fragrance in the chapter As Tomorrow Became Yesterday)

    In the Amphoreus incident, this Lord Ravager is confirmed to be the ascended form of Scepter δ-me13 and nearly destroyed the Path of Erudition. However, under the resistance of the Trailblaze and the heroes, Irontomb's hatred logic was overwritten, and the virus that swept across the stars was turned into harmless blank memes.

    The displacement and desolation caused by the Lord Ravagers are not some distant wail, but are closely linked to the fate of the cosmos. Any world could be the next victim, and nobody should take them lightly.

    Data Bank, Factions

    Overview

    Lord Ravagers are selected by Nanook from among the worlds THEY have destroyed. These beings obey the will of Nanook, and relish in the Path of Destruction. Each Lord Ravager represents seven extremes of Destruction, and each of them is tied to a different Path upon which they intend to bring Destruction.

    Lord Ravagers can be killed, though due to their status as Emanators such a task is difficult. The Galaxy Rangers were able to kill the Lord Ravager Zulo in "Operation Zulo," luring a large amount of The Swarm to his fleet and assassinating him during the battle. Nanook later had Celenova replace him. Irontomb was slain through the efforts of the Cosmic Alliance, the Chrysos Heirs, the Demiurge, and the Trailblazer, with the Demiurge remaining on Amphoreus to close the gaps of causality and prevent Irontomb from reforming.

    The Lord Ravagers all have their own individual personalities and preferences on how they destroy worlds. Nanook primarily relies on Celenova, who serves as a frontline general that THEY frequently dispatch.

    Trivia

    The eighth Lord Ravager.

    In an alternate possibility foreseen by Elio where the Astral Express went to Melustanin instead of Amphoreus, the Xianzhou Alliance would have strayed from the Trailblaze and met its destined end. With the ascension of the eighth Lord Ravager through Jingliu and the Lightning-Lord, they would wage war against Yaoshi, their wings signaling the prelude to a divine war.

    Elio denied Constance's request to join the Stellaron Hunters due to all future possibilities if she became one leading her to become a Lord Ravager known as "Ephemera," with her target being the Remembrance. She would then erase all memory of herself from the cosmos, and when the universe finally ended, she would destroy the Eden of Blessed Insight, erasing all traces of the universe's past.

    During the Old Brews & New Friends Event, Sparkle put the Trailblazer inside a dream where they fought alongside the Xianzhou Alliance to take down Peppy, who had turned into a Lord Ravager.
