Cohesive Sci-Fi Universe Notes

Sat, 08 Nov 2014 21:19:30 +0000

The following pertains to any thread taking place in the cohesive universe containing Osiris, and not only for threads on Osiris itself.

The major governmental body is the Terran Alliance. Osiris, for instance, is a Terran Allied Colony within Terran Allied Space. Planets and cultures within the Terran Alliance maintain their individual governments, but have charters detailing the terms of their membership, including taxation and interactions with other systems. Non-members within Terran Allied Space are extremely limited in what they can and cannot do.
Travel between solar systems and galaxies utilizes a warp drive. Warp drive is both expensive and taxing. Ships must be either extremely large to absorb the forces involved without harming the ship's contents, or extremely expensive in order to utilize the latest materials to do the same. Personal ships capable of warp drive are relatively rare, and usually the owners of those ships use them for work. More common is the utilization of an interstellar carrier service, similar to a ferry.
The universal currency within TAS is credits, exchangeable through wireless exchange, cards, and chits. Less sophisticated criminals tend to prefer untraceable plats, small discs of platinum lacking any distinguishable features. One plat is worth approximately one hundred credits.

A Sampling of Known Species:

Krotazi - twenty to thirty meter long blue and pink mono-gendered nagas with four arms, black horns, two tongues, and nasty dispositions; members of the Krotazi Empire and originating on the planet Krotaz.
Jobari
Siladen
Aaten - mermaid people from the underwater empires on Maroc
Calrathiion
Lepi
N'sazz - 2.5 meter tall purple tusked and horned bi-gendered humanoids with thumbs on both sides of each hand; recently joined the Terran Alliance
Uwaxari - they love to cook and they hate sweets [WIP]
N'noran - pretentious bi-gendered felines with long ears, two tails, and telekinetic powers; members of the Terran Alliance
Rasmodians
Toielle - a rodent hivemind only recently recognized by law as sapient beings whose freedom is protected by Terran Allied Law; they usually work in kitchens [WIP]
Ga'lleq - averaging 1.75 meters, these bi-gendered beings resemble zebra centaurs with stripes of varying colors, large eyes, tufted tails, cloven hooves, and two fingers and a thumb on each hand; members of the Terran Alliance
Feralanen
Tandosian
Skivan Empire - no idea but they probably love slavery [WIP]

Entities of Note:

OmniCorp - a company so big they are technically their own independently functioning government
Coan Robotics Company - up-and-coming new business manufacturing convenience androids and robots for exorbitant prices
Abfir, Inc. - they make droids, synthetics, and artificial intelligences, primarily for home use; stock has tanked after recent rulings found some of their products to be sapient beings under the protection of the law

Farendajo [Open]

Fri, 07 Nov 2014 16:10:57 +0000

    Farendajo is not, despite how some speak of it, some disreputable shady bar. It isn't the sort of place you'd want to bring your family - not unless you have a very strange family - but it's nice, nonetheless. Located on the lower tiers of the Western Quadrant of the Osiris Lunar Colony, it's a decent enough place to stop for a bite if you're in the neighborhood. If you want to talk to certain, very specific people... in that case, the Farendajo may be your only option.

    The layout is sort of a circle, a cylindrical fridge holding drinks in the center, a ring of counter around it for customers to order drinks. Most of the tables are near the walls, save for a few at a distance from the others, allowing for larger guests. Near those distant tables is a stage, just large enough for a few musicians when live entertainment is desired. On either side of the stage, doors lead into the back offices and a kitchen, neither permitted entry by anyone who is not staff.

    The lighting isn't quite dim, but it isn't bright, either; the windows look out, but not in, allowing a view of the walkways outside.

    At each table and booth there is a small touchscreen display for the ordering of food and drinks, staple meals from each of the most populous cultures on the colony.

    Technically speaking, the hostess is also the owner of the Farendajo. The Ga'lleq is always happy to help, often serving customers personally. Xotll is sweet and kind and friendly, eager to please even above and beyond the call of customer service.

    One ought not take this as an opening to take advantage of her, however. After all, it is an open secret that this place really belongs to Grilka. The Krotazi doesn't much care for people who aren't nice to eir friends - and many have learned the folly of getting on the bad side of a Krotazi.

    It is another peculiarity of Grilka's that ey doesn't partake in outright illegalities. The Farendajo is a place of euphemisms, of gray areas, of all the messy seams that occur when cultures come together. A lack of subtlety will do you no favors, and may have you asked to leave.

    Farendajo is always open, and Grilka is always eager to make new friends. Only be sure that you're ready to pay the price for the food and the favors you seek.

Radius || Open

Fri, 07 Nov 2014 15:14:43 +0000

_{Radius was not the first club opened in the lower sectors of the Icarus Osiris Lunar Colony, but it was certainly one of the most talked about. As notorious within drug circles as it was popular with Lunar youth culture, the club's back alley business style and cyberpunk roots shined through the dim dregs of miscreant society to provide a haven for the lesser known pleasures found on Icarus. Nestled between partnership shops and eateries, Radius boasts a vast and secretive clientele who come for the atmosphere, as well as the company of the staff. Private spaces are made available to parties in need, and the upper floors play host to countless rooms for rent, as well as additional entertainment.}

_{Like walking into the inside of an arcade game, a field of light and sounds fill Radius' core, hinting at the endless chatter and laughter of the patrons within. Tables are set up to surround the circular bar area, and dancer's podiums find a place nestled between, where exotic creatures of the galaxy show their skills and technique in sensual unison with the music. An eclectic mix of futuristic chic and old fashioned sex appeal, the bar counter is usually the most populated area, but still emits a sort of tantalizing sway over customers. The most commonly seen bartender is Reyr Capriana, a curvaceous Martian with legs for days and vibrant orange locks, but others are available if the club becomes busy.}

_{Some come to Radius for a good time, but others are strictly business; this is why the club runs so smoothly. Countless galactic heavyweights frequent the club, and in such, tend to appreciate their chosen venue for business to remain in one piece. There are bouncers and security present at all times, with cameras scattered across the nebular decor of the ceiling and walls. unless you rented a room, there is no such thing as 'privacy', but this is a fact of life on the space colony - Radius is no exception.}

_{A private office above the hustle of the main floor is where the owner of Radius spends much of their time, though very few are allowed entrance into their domain within the nightclub, and even fewer have reason to want it. Rumor has it that the owner is nothing more than a myth among customers, and the club runs itself, but again - no one truly knows.}

_{The rooms for rent are simple, and ultimately, disposable. So many of them are socketed into the upper floors that you would be hard pressed to ever see Radius filled to capacity. Reasonably priced and geared towards simple living, a rented room consists of a bed big enough for two occupants, a kitchen area, a small bathroom, and a decent space for living room furniture. No one can beat the price at Radius, which is likely how they acquire so many new occupants.}

_{Lower Lunar is a derelict's dream, a reflection of a city who took no time building up, and in such, lost touch with it's roots. While elsewhere on the colony, the world is described as colorful and warm, the neighborhood housing Radius is cold sprawl of urban ingenuity. Whether or not this is the sort of area one enjoyed exploring didn't matter usually, as the club is the main attraction, but a brave few venture the hard streets in search of adventure, and regularly find it.}[/align]

Osiris Setting Notes

Fri, 07 Nov 2014 03:43:13 +0000

Osiris Lunar Colony

Technically the colony is on the lunar body rs9247b, but absolutely no one calls it that. While Osiris is technically the name of the gas giant the colony orbits, everyone tends to refer to the colony as simply Osiris as shorthand. The planet Osiris is a major source of fuel throughout Terran Allied Space, and thus has become something of a hub, with its own representative Senate. The colony is separated into four quadrants on top of the underground base that lies beneath each quadrant. Because the moon is not terraformed, the colony is in effect a sealed biosphere. The majority of transport is automated, with citizens taking either public transportation or private automated vehicles depending on their economic class. Private, non-automated vehicles owned by an individual are extremely rare.

The Osiris Lunar Colony is a Terran Allied Colony, and most laws tend to be very human-centric as a result of this. There are nonetheless numerous immigrants who have joined the Terran Alliance to become Osiris Citizens, and the population of the colony is extremely diverse. Non-citizens are allowed on the colony as either temporary visitors, or as ambassadors, with the hope that their respective cultures will join the Terran Alliance. Terran Allied Forces take care of most of the peacekeeping on Osiris, but private buildings and corporations often prefer to hire corporate enforcers.

The Eastern Quadrant

Old money, old poverty, and government. There is a garden on the lower levels comparable in many ways to Central Park. The Senate is nearer to the higher levels, as well as all of the nicer houses owned by government officials. This is the oldest quadrant on Osiris.

The Southern Quadrant

The industrial quadrant, where fuel is packaged and processed for export. The people who live there, between the refineries, work in the fuel industry. This is also where the ports are located, as well as a number of bars and pawn shops serving the locals.

The Northern Quadrant

The majority of Osiris' population lives in the Northern Quadrant. There is a great deal of wasted space here to allow for the sprawl these middle-class denizens desire. Malls, suburbs, and small office buildings comprise most of the Northern Quadrant.

The Western Quadrant

The Western Quadrant is the most recently built and top-of-the-line quadrant. The lower levels are high-efficiency office buildings owned by large corporations, and real estate gets more expensive the higher one moves. At the highest levels are exclusive apartment buildings and mansions, carefully sculpted private beaches and the most prestigious retail establishments.
