Astronix Universe

ASTRONIX

Astronix is a star system made up of two suns and six exoplanets orbiting them. Each planet belongs to a certain creature/species of alien.

ATLANTIS

Atlantis is a wonderful green planet, inhabited by the Atlanteans who consider themselves descendants of the gods. They are known for a large number of scientists and magicians. With its landscapes, the planet resembles the Gardens of Eden, in the center of which has a rise of beautiful and clean snow-white walls. Anyone who lives within the Astronix dreams of visiting and staying there to live forever. It is a place of rest and bliss.

The people of Atlantis treat the Gera people well but also use them as soldiers, servants, and workforce. They took all the magic knowledge from the defeated people of Gera. The Atlaneans are confident in their power, now dominant in Astronix due to magic power and control over the extraction of crystals. Because of this all the mages in Astronix are from Atlantis. Outwardly, the Atlanteans are two-meter humanoid creatures with blue skin. Intelligence and magic are their strengths. But they are low in number and too self-confident.

KSETHA

Ksetha is a planet of ferocious warriors and their subordinate demons. The landscape is desert and rocky. Several dozen cities inhabited on Ksetha do nothing but constantly fight each other. It’s the most dangerous planet in the Astronix system. Any casual traveler who enters here by chance runs the risk of being robbed or killed. The people of Ksetha are the best fighters in all of Astronix, but because of their everlasting civil strife, they cannot unite into a force that will become a threat to other planets.

Needless to say, the people of Atlantis and Forts secretly formed hatred for them. After the war, Ksethes took everything from Gera — from military affairs to weapons production. Humans on Ksetha serve as servants, soldiers, factory workers, and targets for Ksethes’ training. Ksethes are also two meters tall, but with green skin, their muzzles are ugly and animal-like. They are not very smart, but very strong and resilient. Ksethes wield special magic though less powerful than the Atlanteans and use various demons during their battles.

FORTUNA

Fortuna is a planet inhabited by merchants — a dwarf race of Forts. Their only goal is to make money. Their caravans can be noticed everywhere — from Atlantis to the Labyrinth. Their entire planet is one big production of everything that can come to mind. Factories, plants, workshops, and Gera people as free labor. It was the industrial technology that once took them away from Gera.

Forts are weak warriors and mostly they use demons to fight, and for their protection, they use human slaves or Ksetha mercenaries. They are greedy for food and will do anything for money. Instead, all their weaknesses are compensated by their cunning wits. There are no more other tricky lifeforms in all of Astronix. Physically, Forts are small dwarfs who have one eye and yellow skin, as well as a disproportionately large belly. Forts invest heavily in strife of Ksethas, though scared of their strength and ferocity.

LABYRINTH

Labyrinth — the Underworld would be a more suitable name for this planet. Volcanoes that constantly spew hot lava on the ground and black ash into the atmosphere have made this planet completely uninhabitable. The surface of the planet is burnt down by lava and two suns. Smoke, heat, sulfur fumes — nothing will last long on this surface. Yet no one would travel here if it were not for the crystals and minerals under the surface.

The underground is made up of a system of mines and dungeons, where the same slave people work. The mines belong to Atlanteans and Forts. The first controls the extraction of crystals used for magic and travel between planets, while the other controls the minerals important for the production of goods.

Although the planet is considered uninhabited, rumors have spread more frequently about some creatures and demons that periodically appear on the lower tiers of the mines and eat people alive. It is also said about the ruler of the underworld and some dark power slumbering in the depths of Labyrinth.It is very easy to get lost in the labyrinths of underground mines and slaves disappear there with enviable regularity.

TOZARIA

Tozaria — is the kingdom of animals and plants. Dense forests and clean rivers. There is an abundance of wild birds and fish. Most of the planet is covered with pristine nature. The one intelligent race that lives there is the Apes — ape-like creatures who managed to invent the wheel, language and writing, and agriculture. Apes developed so quickly that they even produced firearms and air balloons.

This planet is primarily engaged in agriculture both for plants and animals.It provides all other planets with food in exchange for essential goods, crystals, and weapons. The story goes that Apes have become so advanced because the Gera people conducted some kind of magical tests on monkeys before the war. Apes hate humans and treat them worse than animals. Their favorite game is slave hunting. They are excellent hunters and gunners. The basis of their economy is the supply of food to other planets.

GERA

Gera is the home for people. Once the home of a mighty and advanced civilization, after the Great War, Gera fell into decay and ruin. People cursed by magicians are born unconscious and obedient. As indemnity, the planet is forced to annually supply labor to four other races. The landscape of the planet is a post-apocalyptic one — the ruins of cities and small settlements among the scarce greenery in which people nestle. The planet is teeming with Ksethas, who hunt for mavens and look after the order, Forts who sell children into slavery, and the Atlanteans who rule the planet. Somewhere among the ruins, the remnants of past technologies, magic, and weapons have been preserved. But even if an ordinary person finds them, they wouldn’t know what to do with them.
