Non-planetary: Star clusters, nebulae, spatial features, galaxies, etc.

PostHeaderIcon Lesser Magellanic Cloud

The LMC is cleaned out, denuded of naturally-occurring tachyon vesicles. The cloud shows evidence of at least three native galactic civilizations; the last apparently mined all of the Cloud's vesicles and then fell soon afterward.

Unknown to Humans, both Magellanic Clouds are under the domination of the Gergathan. Since c. 10 million BCE, both galaxies are virtually devoid of intelligent life. The only exceptions (outside Human settlements) are a few well-hidden teleportation facilities on bases maintained by the Gergathan.

Ultra-bright comet visible from Terra during February-March 2036 CE. At its brightest, the comet was brighter than the full moon.

PostHeaderIcon Rept Kretzlab

The Gap of Remembrance, a portion of Nephestal's sky kept clear of cosmic dust so that the light of the Galactic Core can be seen, to remind the Daamin of their ancient home and to remind everyone of the threat of the Gathered Worlds.

PostHeaderIcon Aniweta Leap

A relatively low-density corridor through gas & dust clouds roughly between Karphos and Borshall (map reference I4/J4). Because of the low density and reduced risk to antigravs, the Aniweta Leap is the path of main traffic lanes between the Transgeled and Borshall/New Sardinia/Patala.

PostHeaderIcon Patalan Star Cluster

The Patalan Star Cluster, approximately 19 kiloparsecs from Terra, consists of 39 stars spread over a volume roughly 7 parsecs by 3 parsecs by 4 parsecs. Of these stars, 18 are red giants of type M, 13 are type K, 7 are type G, and the other two are white dwarfs.

The 7 G-type stars have, between them, ten habitable planets:

Prominent galaxies inclue M87 and the Ring Galaxy.

PostHeaderIcon The Mehbis Cluster

The Mehbis Cluster was an open cluster of 38 stars that existed approximately 400 million BCE. The Mehbis Cluster contained 18 habitable planets. The dominant higher lifeform was a species of "Singing Trees" which were Hlutr-descended and had strong telepathic/empathic abilites. Through the mediation of the Singing Trees and the co-operation of local Hlutr, the entire Mehbis Cluster became one single ecological unit.

PostHeaderIcon Tarantula Nebula, Lesser Magellanic Cloud

A large nebula in the Lesser Magellanic Cloud, dominated by a a construct called the Web. Until about TE 220, incorrigible prisoners were sent to the Tarantula Prison Facility and habitats scattered throughout the Web.
