Vol 1: Cosmology & Chronicles of Human Arrival
"Physics is a joke here. Gravity is a calculated parameter, and death... is merely a data reset."— Excerpt from Genesis Pioneer's Survey
1. Aegis Prime & The World Tree
1.1 The Silicon-Ether Dwarf
Aegis Prime is a dense white dwarf located in NGC 459-Omega. Internally, it consists entirely of absolute-zero Silicon-Ether Crystals. Aether here is not magic, but physicalized high-frequency code.
1.2 The Harvester's Prison
3 million years ago, a dimensional civilization known as "The Harvesters" hollowed out the planet during their war against the Old Ones of the Abyssal Pact. They built a super-prison to nail the abyssal entities deep into the core.
1.3 The Yggdrasil Mainframe
To suppress the radioactive SAN-decay from the core, the hyper-dimensional supercomputer 'Yggdrasil' extracts energy to materialize defensive bio-programs—the Phantasmas.
2. Pre-Human Wars
2.1 First Abyssal Fracture (2,000,000 B.C.)
When the Abyssal gods attempted to break out, Yggdrasil activated [Protocol: Null-Nerve], converting select units into unfeeling metal to resist mental destruction. This was the origin of the Mech faction.
2.2 The Sylvan Panacea (500,000 B.C.)
Yggdrasil deployed a massive "code-repair system" on the equator to heal the planet's data layer. These became the Sylvan faction: ruthless bio-programs that break down and recycle corrupted entities.
3. Human Arrival & Soul Disks
3.1 The Great Fall (A.D. 2384)
The U.S.S. Oracle crashed onto Aegis Prime due to gravitational distortions from Azathoth. 12,000 survivors were stranded in absolute cold.
3.2 Soul Disk Revolution (A.D. 2390)
Humans discovered that Phantasmas leave behind glowing code chips instead of blood. Using the Oracle's AI, they engineered the Soul Disk, allowing gifted humans (Commanders) to hijack Yggdrasil's algorithms and command the Phantasmas to defend Genesis City.
