Novus and Its Inhabitants.

The Eci.

A sentient species residing far beyond the Milky Way, in a galaxy they call Novus. The Eci could be described as metallic, reflecting light off of their skin, hair and eyes. That light could be a specific color or a myriad of colors.

On average, they reach 260 centimeters (8 foot 5 inches) in height and live for one thousand years. The taller you are, the older you are, the wiser you supposedly are—thus, the tallest individuals are the ones in positions of power.

They particularly value knowledge and most of their society is fluent in multiple languages native to other sentient species, including languages from Earth.

The mainland.

Eccel is the origin of the Eci species and the home of its monarchy.

Beneath the current queen’s rule, there is a single, monarchy-elected minister in charge of each planet’s people. They are expected to report everything to the queen and look to her to make decisions, never making choices themselves.

The greatest number of replicants—androids with an eerie resemblance to humankind—live on Eccel. However, most of them are just servants to the aristocrats and do not live a free life.

The topopolis.

Licis is an artificially constructed rotating habitat (example) surrounding Eccel. It is home to endless lakes, rivers, lush valleys and meadows.

There is a catch: not a single plant or species of animal are native to the land, so the majority of what was brought over are now either endangered or already extinct. The powers that be, especially the monarchy, vehemently deny this as fact and have stated, “No fauna, nor flora, has reached extinction under the care of our scientists. Do not follow the words of heretics.”

It’s important to note that while they did relocate fauna from different planets, they brought only ones that would not pose a threat to society when assimilating and when interacting with residents. Carnivorous and/or dangerous creatures were left on their native planets.

The rimworld.

Maveas is the planet that sustained the greatest loss with the construction of Licis. It lies at the very edge of the Novus star system and has been sucked dry of nearly all life. Once brimming with the same luscious greenery that spans most of the topopolis’ land, Maveas is dim and grey, the only lights in the sky the far-off sun and colors beaming off of both Eccel and Licis.

It’s home to most of the Eci’s lower class, as the cost of living on the mainland and its daughter-in-orbit greatly outweighs Maveas.

Those born native to Novus’ rimworld are usually shorter in height and their body reflects less light. There is also a growing amount of replicants relocating to Maveas, as it’s the one place where they are treated as equals.

Criminal and gang activity are at an all-time high lately, more than likely due to tensions between the monarchy and the residents of the rimworld.
