Neophis is an artificial planetary construct located in the outer reaches of the Oceanic star system. This mechanized sphere, roughly the size of Earth's moon, is the homeland of the Aanuh Ka'ri.
Structure and Composition
The planet's surface is adorned with geometric patterns of black and golden-hued metal, forming intricate designs that channel energy throughout its systems. Massive crystalline spires rise from the metallic landscape, serving as power conduits and ceremonial structures
- The outer shell consists of overlapping metallic plates that can shift and realign to maintain structural integrity
- Vast arrays of containment chambers, each slightly larger than a fire extinguisher, line the internal structure
- Crystal matrices throughout the structure store and distribute power
- Self-repairing mechanisms continuously maintain and upgrade the planet's systems
Environmental Systems
Neophis lacks a natural atmosphere, unnecessary for its inhabitants, and maintains controlled environments within its vast network of containment chamber arrays. These compact units are specifically designed to support the unique needs of the Aanuh Ka'ri:
- Containment chambers provide optimal conditions for Aanuh Ka'ri maintenance cycles within their compact space
- Energy field generators create stable zones for shapeshifting and form manipulation
- Advanced sonic resonance systems facilitate Aanuh Ka'ri communication
- Automated maintenance drones constantly monitor and adjust internal conditions
Elemental Sites
- The First Spire: A massive central chamber where energy pathways converge, featuring a colossal crystal spire that serves as the planet's primary power source
- Aanuh Gardens: Areas where new Aanuh Ka'ri are created and nurtured, featuring specialized bioengineering facilities
- The Neophite Archives: The only traditional enclosed space on the planet, designed to accommodate all races and house important historical records
- The Ascendant Rift: Located within the Neophite Archives on Neophis, this shrine represents one of the eight sacred shrines dedicated to the concept of the Ascendant
