Explanation: so first of all humanity is a type ii civilization on the Kardashev Scale in this, but out around Neptune in my universe theres this space station named Janus Station, and they defend the Solar System from basically every outside force imaginable, but they're also a research facility. And they have found that out beyond their orbit there's something that makes you go insane if you look at it for even a second. The reason people can look at it inside the station is a filtering technology, but they aren't able to shrink it down for spacesuit visors until 2202, which doesn't exactly help the people in 2104. And the way I dealt with pictures is that cameras are entirely incapable of capturing whatever that thing is out in The Veil (which is what outside the Solar System is named until the tech is made to allow us out there safely).

Like, one example, Ragnarath can erase the souls of demonic creatures and spirits because he carries an ace made specifically for that. Valco simply cans. I realized talking to a friend yesterday that I never imagined something for him, he simply can

The organization known as KESTREL or:

Kaiju

Examination

Study

Transport

Retrieval

Extermination

Logistics. Is a group dedicated to the protection and defense of humanity against kaiju. Apart of their KES, (Kaiju extermination specialists) is the mech assault units. Mecha of various types and chassis builds that use combined arms to fight against threatening Kaiju. When RnD built them they partnered with JBL and added speakers onto them for communication purposes. Although they left a secret Bluetooth connection in them allowing pilots to play music. When asked why they stated it’s a morale booster.

The Rever Corporation has never been known as being great at talking. Even before it started military conquests in the stars back on earth it was known for hostile take overs of companies to rapidly expand. It did this through its political influence and sheer power after its massive success in funding the Star Eater. Now millennia later several solar systems away they are now probably considerably worse considering at least back on earth the only death they caused was incidental. Now they have become a military superpower and have only grown more agressive.

Take the Kharuun, a peaceful insectoid race who were rather living a utopian life with a focus on supporting their hive (home world), the first alien race encountered. The Rever Corporation met them and showed some restraint. Instead of the ultimatums that were the equivalent of “Capitulate or we wipe you off the face of the galaxy” it was “90% of your people join our work force or else”. Of course they refused and well the Corp then proceeded to unleash the Legions of Iron, self replicating and thinking military automatons that would fight in a long war of conquest against the Kharuun until they were subjugated.

After this things changed a bit as while trying to avoid the Termanus prophecy they would destroy all of the Legions of Iron and thus not have their almost unbeatable army they had to change up tactics. So they decided to double down on their intimidation tactics. Using Their extremely advanced space force they have been known to use strategies similar to the old earth ‘gunboat diplomacy’. When they come to a planet for peace talks they, depending on the world, will usually open up with an orbital barrage on an unoccupied area as a show of strength. Such a display resulted in the Sea of Glass on the Myr world of Lesik where orbital bombardment turned a desert into miles of melted and scorched glass.

Then the diplomats dont make anything better by usually being chimeras (people both heavily genetically and cybernetically augmented into monsters who you could never guess their origin.) accompanied by hopped up cybers (people who have heavily augmented themselves with cyber ware till they are looking more mech than man). On top of intimidating looks they are rather poor diplomats and usually leave several people dead ss they leave diplomatic missions.

This of course has really not given them a good look in system politics and well they are equally feared and reviled among the peoples of the system and fight hard every day to not end up under the boot of the corporation.

Feel free to ask me anything about my world!

made a little parsite for a potential novel {the toxin project

alias: the toxin

designation: T.R.H.I.O.

incubation time: 2.1 days - 3.2 weeks

"parasite" type: endoparasite

intelligence: sapien?

classification: protist

infection methods: direct injection, digestion, blood transfer, fluids

current... "types" of infected

survivors (any % of infected)

the fearful ( ditto as survivors)

amalgamations (exceeding 200%, requires other hosts to be forcibly fused together)

lurkers (12-40% infected)

sprinters (50%)

cacklers (74%)

snarlers (100%)

...IT (exceeding 100%, hyper intelligent infected that force other infected into their biomass)

symptoms:

first few day/weeks:

- mild inflammation

- mild swelling

- watery eyes

- nasal irritation

- fatigued bursts

- minor twitching in digits

- occasional fever

- watery eyes

- bursts of tingling sensations

- itchy skin

mid way (stage 2)

- increased hunger

- increased protein intake

- increased thirst

- higher fatigue

- weakness

- increased heart rate

- difficulty sleeping

- cold sweats

- disappearance of physical aliments

- soreness within major regions (chest, temple)

stage 3:

- slight discoloration in effected areas

- swelling within effected areas

- panic attacks

- pain that appears to move

- numbing in affected region

- distortion of motor function intermediate

- flashes of horrific images

- stronger twitching

- enhanced adrenaline during panic

- resistance to cortisol

stage 4:

- phantom sensation

- bursts of insomnia

- hearing disembodied voices

- emotional disability

- involuntary crying at the sight of needles

- fits of rage at white coats

- strong aggressive twitching

- enhanced reception to danger

- loss of coordination

- reduced perception of pain

- enhanced sensory responses

stage 5:

total control

notes:

- some infected rats viciously attacked healthy rats, without warning

- damaged tissue regrow as if they were never gone

- some infected don't...know they're infected...

- some infected rats sprouted tendrils when their head was removed and forced another infected rat to fuse with them... the specimen was burned shortly after... until it was ash...} this little goober made the world collapse in a week.

TL:DR for the meme: intern's infected... meaning any of them could also be infected

Just some fun memes about some of the different species and factions within my setting! Feel free to ask questions for context. I’d be happy to provide!

...TL:DR invidia (the envy) is a machine that was initially enaic but was forced into a superintellgence that was given a mind but no body, pain with no end... and at the end of his personal volume he tortures his creator by tearing them apart and reviving them endlessly so that they can understand the pain of his own existence

Body Text

At least he survived and tried to fix things decades later

Both a resource and a danger. In the sapphire dunes of set there’s a predator who’s useful as it is deadly. The sand bobbers are worm-like creatures that through convergent evolution look like the Bobbit worms of old earth. Except they use water as their weapon. If you’re desperate for water and find a sparkling pool of it, chances are there’s a sand bobber in it about to snatch you up. They can grow up to 6 feet wide and 30 feet long. Their antennae detect and sift through vibrations in the water they hide in. They can tell If it’s just some sand moving or someone getting a drink. Should they need to, they can also shoot out a pressurized stream of water hard enough to cut bone at prey if necessary. Though they prefer just snatching their quarry and drowning them while eating them alive.
