Main Page

Please be aware, this entire page and wiki are being revised as we are changing lore to our own, removed from New Frontiers, some things will remain but the stuff is in HIGH FLUX at the moment. Please have patience.

• This wiki is mostly meant to be a collection of IC documents written from a biased, pro-Directorate perspective. The raw information itself is fairly accurate, but the way it's framed and presented is not meant to be read as the completely unbiased truth. Anything that is not explicitly OOC should not be read as such.

Where am I?

• You are in Known Space at the edge of the Coreward March in the Gadiimkimi Dark Region on the space station Distant Sands-11
• The region is a hotbed of conflict between the Alganna Eternity and the League of Free Colonies over ownership and right to settle the Gadiimkimi Dark Region. The United Families, the owners of the station have invited the Ruz'kahni Directorate to help mediate the dispute.

What are these strange aliens? Help! I am distressed!

We of the Directorate prefer the term Sophont rather than alien to refer to the people of Known Space. They are you, us, and the future friends and foes you will encounter on the station and beyond.

Major Sophonts

• Feni Resembling dogs, wolves, jackals, foxes and hyenas, Feni are the caniform native to the planet Fen, the founders of the Directorate, a catch-all for a handful of divergent species. They are the most advanced society in known space and their distinct clan-structure has informed the Directorate's design.
• Human Born of the troubles of their homeworld of Earth, humans are a common species in space, often taking to the stars to escape the stratification of social immobility of Earth's territories.
• Kimmigan These bovids, antelopes and deer are Separated by time, remnants of a great migration across the stars, the two Kimmigan peoples vary from the founders of the Alganna Eternity who care about hedonism and power, to spacer-survivalists with a spiritual love of their ships.
• Hexian Rodent-like murids of the Vaeus system, Hexians survived near extinction and have adopted a ruthless adherence to managed, mandated genetic engineering to prevent a similar genetic disaster from occurring. Under Construction
• Kemzali The large, furred serpentine chimeric sophonts that rule the United Families as absolute rulers.
• Kobari A species of eusocial, small, chimeric 'kobold like' servant-species to the Kemzali in the United Families.

The Unclassified

• Thinking Machines The artificial intelligence of known space, created, not born, they are inorganic beings.
• Vatborn and Splicers Artificial biological creations or those adjusted or altered after birth, they were mass manufactured as slave-soldiers in the great human wars.
• Outworlders A catchall term for the plethora of species not listed, categorizing them individually may be difficult. Under Construction
• Anomalies A catchall term for strange, unique, or little understood beings that in some way defy standard categorization. Under Construction

Ok But what happened Recently?

You must suffer from some form of Delerium, or maybe you're just woefully undeducated. Many major events have happened in history, but a recent one is the War of Ruz'kahni Survival.

Distant Sands is based on the creative framework of the New Frontiers roleplaying sim on the Second Life grid, with permission.

While exact lore details will drift apart, we are all based on the creativity of numerous authors past and present.
