\"\"Welcome to the tri-galaxies: \u00a0Vorton, Galfarra, and Milky Way. \u00a0Realms of adventure, intrigue, mysterious alien worlds and creatures, lost temples, advanced civilisations and stone aged cultures.<\/p>\n

At the centre is the Milky Way — our own galaxy. \u00a0It is young, but has its share of fledgling interstellar empires, but most importantly there’re two wormholes that lead to distant galaxies.<\/p>\n

Next is Galfarra, the cultural centre of this universe. \u00a0It may not be the oldest galaxy of the bunch, but it is still ancient; filled with civilisations that have roamed the stars since before the Humans of Earth had solved the mysteries of fire. \u00a0The Galfarran Union spans a fair portion of it — maintaining order among the chaos of a billion cultures made up of races both very much like ourselves, and so radically different you might be surprised to learn they’re even alive.<\/p>\n

Finally, Vorton. \u00a0The ancient galaxy. \u00a0Here are dying stars, and dead world. \u00a0Civilisations so ancient that even they are unsure what of their forgotten technologies are science, and what are magic. \u00a0Today it is picking up the pieces from a centuries long war for survival against the deadly expansion of the fearsome Dichidians.<\/p>\n

Universal Nexus is families, and lost worlds. \u00a0It’s pirates, and fearless warriors. It is valiant knights defending beautiful queens, and demented scientists tampering with the nature of life and the universe. \u00a0It’s also a shared world, a setting you’re welcome to come explore and add your own worlds and faces, your own castles and starships, your own civilisations and treasures. \u00a0On these pages you will find stories, some free, some not, published by us to give you a tiny glimpse into the sorts of people and places you might find. \u00a0In The Guide<\/a> you’ll find detailed information about some of those same people, places, things \u2026 it’s added to from time to time, so it can be worth checking back, or subscribing.<\/p>\n
