The border / Conflict
Border skirmish reported
Commander Kael's Legionnaires exchanged fire with a Sun Eater patrol near the P2/P3 border. Casualties are unconfirmed. Tensions remain high.
An original science-fiction universe
Not a second life.
A different beginning.
Two suns. A divided world.
Humanity gets another chance. Not a clean slate.
Worlds, people, and the things they carry forward.
01 / The beginning
Earth was the first home.
Zan is what comes after.
Thirty-four light-years away, human migrants named a distant star system Redo: a second chance for life and civilization. Beneath the light of Spica and Antares, that promise became something more complicated.
The cloned and the naturally born built separate societies. Four moon tribes began searching for common ground. And deep in the Hades Ocean, the world's original inhabitants watched.
Can we begin again
without becoming who we were?
One world caught between their light
Known worlds in the Redo system
A single revolution of life on Zan
The distance from the first home
02 / Beyond the familiar
Choose a system. Follow an orbit.
Every point of light has a story.
Drag to pan · Select a body to inspect · Illustrative orbits, not to scale
Surface and structure studies of Zan.
03 / The rhythm of a world
A 36-hour day. Six named phases.
Follow the changing skies of Zan.
Zan variant time
Simulation time · One real second = one Zanian hour.
The border / Conflict
Commander Kael's Legionnaires exchanged fire with a Sun Eater patrol near the P2/P3 border. Casualties are unconfirmed. Tensions remain high.
Agape / Diplomacy
Chieftain Zorgan has called a meeting of the four moon tribes. Lyra's diplomatic efforts are gaining traction toward a unified defense strategy.
Hades / Unexplained
Unusual energy readings emerge from the deep trenches. The Tide-Speaker has not responded. The Trident Guard has increased patrols.
Between the years
The last three days of a year and the first three of the next form six days of extended darkness. A pause between one beginning and another.
Beneath the sky
Gravity is most unstable during the purple phases and most stable during the blue and red phases. Oxygen and carbon dioxide sustain a world of seven major races and nearly 387 minor species.
04 / The lives within it
Knowledge and instinct. Faith and survival.
Open a name to meet the person behind it.
The cloned / Zan region
A future built on knowledge.
The first experimental womb clone from Project Recreation. Calm, trained, and erudite, GOD guides the cloned population. His consciousness spans past, present, and future; his hope is a better world for all.
The natural born / Death region
A world claimed by instinct.
The first naturally born human on Zan, altered by its radiation. Stormy and charismatic, RAK leads the Death Zanians, challenging the clones and inspiring a cult devoted to the destruction of Antares.
05 / An uneasy coexistence
What a society values
is not always what it trades.
Created through Project Recreation, the clones have enhanced knowledge and immunity. They control Lumin (L), a unit of crystallized energy traded as encrypted data, and a sophisticated digital economy.
The Natural Born reject digital currency. Raw materials, scavenged technology, and military might underpin their barter economy. Deep genetic knowledge meets lower immunity and formidable defenses.
The planet's original bioforms control water transport and remain neutral. Hybrid Aqua live on the Zan coast; pure Aqua live on the Death coast. The ocean covers 40% of the surface.
Agape, Ales, Alyx, and Andel house mixed tribes of male clones and naturally born females, an experiment by Team Recreation to create hybrid offspring. Their minerals are essential to Zanian technology, but trading for refined goods and Lumin leaves them economically dependent.
Artificial Aquinas are classified by their skin's reaction to burning; natural Aquinas are immune. This harsh test determines whether they live along the coast or inland with their genetic parents.
