Mercury

Planet | Apr 6, 2025

Mercury was once the economic center of the Sol System, but today most of its people are refugees. The Scorching of Mercury has left the planet an arid husk of its former glory.

Scorching of Mercury

Military Conflict | Jul 29, 2025

The Scorching of Mercury, also known as the First Solar Invasion, was an invasion by the angelic armies known today as the Scourge. The invasion destroyed most of Mercurian civilization and radically changed the planet's biosphere across four years.

Nomads of Mercury

Ethnicity | Jul 20, 2025

In the harsh extremes of Mercury, the nomadic peoples of the planet live on the edge. Their traditional migration patterns have made the terminator nomads uniquely suited to life after the Scorching of Mercury, but it is by no means an easy life.

Mercurian Characters

Blue NM-2

Character | Jun 17, 2025

Blue NM-2 is a Sentinel; a living weapon. It has been provided for Project Ikarus from Neptune. Even in the low humidity atmosphere of Mercury it poses a notable threat, but has been deemed acceptable considering the consequences of failure.

Eun

Character | Jun 17, 2025

Squadron Leader Eun is an ex-mercenary fighter pilot employed in Penumbra under the aegis of Project Ikarus. Eun has an irregular history, like many of the pilots of Penumbra, but has shown competency and good fit to a military structure.

Commodore Pallas Steradian is a Martian commodore and the officer in command of the defenders of Mercury.

Roseah

Character | Jun 17, 2025

Roseah is a study in contradictions. They move mountains to help Mercurians flee, but disdain them for abandoning their home. A misanthrope who has built the most welcoming Oasis there is on Mercury.

Sciah

Character | Jun 17, 2025

Eun's commanding officer and a Martian. Sciah does not come from a pilot background and it shows in her interactions. Bookish and by-the-rules, she is at least dependable.

Tray

Character | Jun 17, 2025

Tray is a tray. He works at Oasis, serving the drinks and meals. Please rate your satisfaction.
