Revision as of 21:45, 3 July 2011

Hiverspace is an entirely separate dimension from Normalspace, the dimension where Earth is located. It was the site of a long and bloody war between the Kamir and the Hivers right up until 2650. Currently, the Zarist Supremacy seeks a campaign of aggressive expansion, nominally opposed by the Multiverse Commonwealth. It's currently 2653. Those from outside of Hiverspace, Outversers, started arriving in 2651 from alien times and places, included periods in Earth history, and they seek to organize themselves.

Those interested in Hiverspace in general can look at Lore. For those interested in specific happenings in universe:

• Incoming Transmissions - Short stories written by players and staff in the OS universe.
• News Archives - Records of in character news.
• Roleplaying Log Archives - Logs of roleplaying sessions posted by players.

Inverser Factions

Inverser factions are those who draw the majority of their support from beings native to Hiverspace.

Akazar's Syndicate

A criminal syndicate ran by the Lotorian named Akazar that claims no world as home, but rather its influence can be felt on a majority of worlds.

Outverser Factions

Outverser factions are those that draw their support from Outversers, those not native to Hiverspace and those who rifted in.

Eiru

Eiru is an island on Pyracan which was opened to Outversers in mid-2653 and has a notable Fastheldian population, giving it a somewhat European medieval flavor.

Olympus

The Olympus is a micro-station spaceship that was built originally as a Hekayan science vessel but has since been salvaged by an Outverser crew and sees use as an independent trade vessel.

Orion Confederacy

An Outverser government founded in 2652 interested in carving out it's own name Hiverspace. A collection of planets located in galactic northern edge of the Cristata Nebula, who are allied with the New Phyrrian Enclave. The seat of the Confederate government is on Materi Syna.

Svajone Coaliton

The Svajone Coalition is the oldest of the Outverser governments located beyond Falar and B'hira slightly beyond the edge of known space. It is a government known largely for its academic bent and policy of political neutrality.
