The Paddle of the night

the Paddle of the night ( The Night' S Dawn Trilogy in English) is a novel of Science-fiction of the British author Peter F. Hamilton. It includes/understands three episodes:

A notable fact of this novel is its length: more than six thousand pages (more than 10 million signs, the longest novel of SF) in version pocket delivers. Of this fact the universe described is particularly excavated.

This universe of fiction is also included in a collection of news of the same author, has Second Chance At Eden , published in 1998, like in The Confederation Handbook , collection of fictitious documents relative to this universe, presented in encyclopedic form “”.

Humanity in XXVIIe century

In the Paddle of the night , humanity, although gathered within an interplanetary organization which bears the name of “Confederation”, remains divided into two great groups: the Adamiste S and the edenist S. the economy is mainly controlled by the edenists who carry out the major part of the extraction of the Hélium 3 (He3) since the gas giants. (The kingdom of Kulu is, for political reasons and nuns, only the producing adamist of He3). This resource is used as principal energy source by all the vessels adamists. The use of an alternative energy source, the antimatter, is illegal and as well its possession as its production are subjected to the capital punishment. The economy is so dependant on He3 being used for nuclear fusion that the principal currency used in the Confederation is the fusiodollar (term which is inspired obviously by the Pétrodollar).

The culture adamist

The group of Adamistes relates to the majority of the human ones. They regard them-even as “the human normal ones”. They are authorized the use of some tools of genetic engineering in order to improve their physiology and generally do not accept the use of technology “biotek” (modification of the organizations by the Biotechnologie S) on their organization. They set up a vast group of human of various cultures, with the stories and different realities. All human not Édénistes are of Adamistes. The majority of them have a religion, which makes them critical vis-a-vis the use of technologies bioteks (which were banished by the pope during XXIe century). They prefer to them the use of implants based on the Nanotechnologie S (called “naneuronic”). The naneuroniques ones generally provide the same physiological effects as the bioteks; they are thus two relatively comparable technologies. The vessels adamists are propelled thanks to the energy born of the fusion produced by He3, fuel whose extraction is at the base of the human saving in this time. The use of technology TTZ enables them to travel more quickly than the light, which enabled them to colonize solar systems while being installed on planets or the asteroids.

The culture edenist

Édénistes for the majority are integrated into a single culture. It is about an idealistic and levelling culture. They formed a utopian culture resting on no religion. They banish any however no and some their members do not escape reflections based on spirituality, even if they assert clearly atheistic S. the majority of Édénistes live on long space stations several kilometers. They are the “habitats” which orbit around the gas giants of which they can extract He3 used in the technologies based on the nuclear Fusion. Each habitat is a conscious living organism and, full member of the community and actor of its organization. The habitats act as quality of impartial judges of the will of Édénistes, more especially as they are completely conscious of all that occurs in their center and in their close space. The most important aspect of Édénisme is the use of affinity. Affinity is a advanced form of communication which approaches to telepathy and the quantum Téléportation. It enables them to communicate with any organization biotek having gene of affinity. Contrary to Adamistes, which does not submit all to the same political organization, Édénistes take part systematically in the shape of single government named “Consensus”. The consensus is made of all Édénistes in the vicinity to melt itself in a temporary collective conscience. This allows them a direct representation of the will of each one in the government decisions. After their death, Édénistes can use affinity to transfer their memory and their personality in the layers neurales from the vessels or the habitats bioteks. They can then continue to live and think during several centuries before being integrated entirely into the personality of their habitat. Since the habitats do not have maximum lifespan and that they can transfer their memory and their personality towards another habitat if they are brought to die, this transfer can be conceived like a form of immortality. The religions adamists reject this practice which they regard as a form of obstruction to the divine judgment of the heart after death; what was at the origin of the schism between the cultures edenist and adamist.

The edenists can travel more quickly than the light thanks to their vessels bioteks: falcons. The falcons are more than simple spaceships. In fact fully conscious and intelligent organizations form with their crews vast a armada of vessels of operative transport in the Confederation. They also are very much used by the space forces of the confederation as men-of-war. The falcons are born and live in the space vacuum. They are naturally conceived to resist the magnetic fields and with the energy radiations which flood the space vacuum and they control perfectly the fields of distortion which they can produce thanks to their composition. They use them to open “holes of worm” what enables them to go instantaneously from a point to another of space, as long as these points are not distant of more than one about fifteen light-years. The control of the fields of distortion makes it possible the falcons to reach speeds and a level of handiness which is not equalized by the Adamistes vessels (when they are not propelled to the antimatter). Edénistes modify the genetic code briskly their children, adding the gene which enables them to use affinity and thus food according to their design of humanity. They also modify all kinds of biological entities in order to be able to control them via gene of affinity since they become capable to share their perceptions. They thus use chimpanzees as servants or of the insects like scouts. They can thus delegate many tasks and concentrate on what appears to them most useful.

Technologies

In the Paddle of the Night, certain “original” technologies are used.

Falcons

The falcons are vessels bioteks, they conscious and are accurately connected to their captain since the birth by the bond of affinity. While they grow each one on their side, the captain and his falcon communicate thanks to affinity and it develops a strong emotional tie between the two. The life expectancy of a falcon is 110 years while the captains can reach an age much more advanced. This is due to the fact that the cellular models of the falcons are degraded more quickly than they do not reproduce once the falcon becomes mature. After the disappearance of the falcon, the captain generally remains in a habitat to deal with his children. The falcon accomplishes a last flight of coupling at the end of its life. It then produced there ten eggs (each one with a zygote of the future captain inside) which are left in orbit around a gas giantess while waiting for their maturation. This flight generally occurs on the orbit from Saturn and Romulus and Remus are traditionally the bases of the falcons edenists. After one year, the zygote is ejected outside egg and is recovered by his/her father (that which fertilizes) and by the personality of the habitat. The structure of the falcon (approximately 80%) is largely covered with energy nodes, which gives him possibilities single (handling of space time and perception: allows to feel the objects having a mass or at least deforming space time, ilpeut to handle celi-Ci to a small extent, to modify the field of gravitation which surrounds it). These cells are used to create a field of distortion which makes it possible the falcon to accelerate in space, to reload its cells ergostructurantes, to create holes of worms to move and to feel the points of emergence of any vessel carrying out a jump TTZ. The fields of distortion of the falcons are also able to prevent other vessels from carrying out jump TTZ. A falcon can thus block a vessel at a distance of 100.000 km. The falcons are by far higher technologically than the purely mechanical spaceships of Adamistes, except for their vulnerability with radiations. When a falcon carries out an acceleration thanks to its field of distortion, that produced an effect of gravity equal to 1g for the crew. A falcon can form holes of worm “to measure” according to its needs, while the holes of worm of the vessels adamists are limited by the mechanical constraints of orbital physics. A falcon can emit on the tape of remote affinity going up to 30 Astronomical Units (approximately 4,5 billion kilometers).

Gerfauts

The gerfauts are a variation of the falcons edenists which were created by a remanipulation of their genes in order to make them usable by adamists. The goal of the production of this type of vessels is to improve the capacities of combat of the vessels edenists. The original Génome was acquired in a doubtful way by the dissident Edéniste Rubra at the same time as the genome which allows the creation of the habitats edenists. With this base of genetic data it could launch the germination of the Valisk habitat, used as bases for the company Magellanic Itg and as bases supply for the gerfauts. The maximum distance from jump for the gerfauts is approximately 22 years light. They are frequently used for the operations of smuggling or by mercenaries. Their captains generally do not have same “ethics” that the Edénistes captains of falcons can have. What can give them bad reputation. The falcons and the gerfauts can be coupled. The gerfaut and its captain have the same neuronal symbions, which enables them to use affinity. As these symbions are single, the communication by affinity is limited between the gerfaut and its captain. The communication with Edéniste for a gerfaut is thus not possible. The life expectancy of a gerfaut is 75 years.

Wasps of combat

The standard weapon used by all the spacecrafts are the wasps of combat. They are technologically advanced missiles. They are armed with a variety with weapons energy, kinetic, with warheads thermonuclaires, probes and electronic systems. The computer controls each wasp by analyzing the tactical situations and by choosing the optimal way to reach the target and to engage the other wasps on the way of the victory. The wasps have a speed of maximum acceleration of 30g. The majority of the wasps of combat use fusion for their sytème of propulsion and armament. The wasps functioning with the antimatter are much more powerful since that they can accelerate until 40g, but they are illegal in the Confederation.

The alchemist of neutronium

It is about a weapon developed by Dr. Alkad Mzu, astrophysicist. The achimist is able to extinguish a star or to transform it into supernova. This weapon is the fruit of a research of more than 30 years, caused by the will of revenge on the people which operated a genocide on the native world of Dr. Mzu. At the end of " the Alchemist of Neutronium" , second book of the second part of the novel, Hamilton lengthily describe the supernova effect of this weapon, used to destroy vessels adamists sent by had.

Thermolames

Although nondetailed, the thermolames seem to be the shape of powerful knives with which it is possible almost all to cross. Only the materials protected by molecular layer resulting from a generator of force can resist. The thermolame strongly shines when it is used. (One can possibly make a bringing together with the vibro-blades of the Starwars universe)

Molecular generators of force

This technology projects a field of force on the structures, making them more resistant. The spaceships are generally protected thanks to this technology.

The naneuroniques ones

A block the naneuroniques ones (also called implant nanonic) is a computing system established in the human brain. The user controls his naneuroniques directly while thinking of it. They can be used for many applications. New competences and knowledge can be charged on its naneuroniques and become immediately accessible by the user. Via a system close to the email, messages can be sent to other people who have the naneuroniques ones, thus allowing a form of telepathy. They can also make it possible the user to control his emotions and to control its body functions. Programs of engagements can take the control of the organization and calculate the best gestures for an attack or an optimum defense. Other programs make it possible to establish an interface between the naneuroniques ones and of the external machines as of the weapons or the power stations of spaceships. There exist several qualities of naneuronic whose price varies according to the capacities and the factory which produced them.

Contrary to the biotek, the naneuroniques ones are not the subject of polemics in Adamiste civilization (with share on the worlds with dominant pastoral, like Norfolk, refractories with advanced technologies).

Nanoniques medical

They generally appear as green plastic bands the nanonic medical ones make it possible to treat a large variety of pathologies, simple scratch with the rebuilding of deep wounds or broken bones. They do not have a single function, and can be used in any case. It does not remain less useful even necessary about it to resort to other modes of treatments for the care of more serious diseases like the mental problems.

Cosmonik

A cosmonik is a cyborg. It is about human which spent so much time in weightlessness and microphone-gravity that a broad part of its body was atrophied and had to be replaced by technological implants. Some cosmoniks benefit from it to improve their capacities compared to their statute of human. But, with the wire of time, number end up becoming simple machines with a brain inside. Moreover cosmoniks, with the wire of the improvements which they acquire, do not finish resembling an human being less and less. Very resistant and perfectly at ease in the space vacuum, they can have a very impressive aspect.

Those which choose to become cosmoniks make it in general because the genes adapted to space and avoiding the degeneration of the bodies (and other nuisances) were not integrated in their genome by their ancestors, contrary with the lines of pilots such as the Calvert family.

Tau zero

Manpower inside a kind of room of containment, tau zero locks up what is inside in a particular position of the space-time continuum, which results in to stop time in this room. All that is found inside will not undergo any deterioration of time, as long as the field tau zero remains activated. For unknown reasons, had remain conscious when that they are locked up in tau zero, contrary with the not had living beings. The tau zero fact thus of living sensory experiments particular to had. They describe these experiments as being still worse than to be in beyond, and some prefer to leave the body that they even have before being placed in tau zero. Tau zero is often used in the spaceships to preserve the crews during stellar long voyages or during operations requiring an high degree of acceleration (like displacements using the antimatter). The majority of the vessels are thus equipped with nacelles tau zero. Technology tau zero is also a component of the Alchemist of neutronium.

The operation of this technology is not very documented by the author, which makes it possible to imagine many assumptions as for physics and with the mathematical theories with work. Just as for technology TTZ. (Their relatively low fuel consumption of energy is a subject of debate among impassioned kind.)

Vidtrains

Train propelled in tunnels or reigns the vacuum, in this way no friction does not slow down it; to connect Africa to the United Kingdom one needs approximately 3/4 of hours

Space elevator

A space Elevator or orbital tower on Earth makes it possible to put into orbit travellers or materials in a very profitable and fast way.

Navigation TTZ

Technology TTZ, Temporal Translation Zero - Zero Time Translation (ZTT), literally Translation in a time equal to Zero , is a means used through all the Confederation to travel more quickly than the light. It makes it possible the spaceships to generate holes of worm which they can use to cross of long distances instantaneously. Navigation TTZ was invented by the research centres of the Kong News. For a Adamiste vessel, a simple jump can cover a distance of 21 years lights. Generally the distances covered vary around 12-15 years light. During a jump, the vessels adamists are subjected to the orbits of planets, and they must calculate with precision their vectors of flight for the voyage. A jump lasts 0,005 seconds roughly. All the elements bioteks able to use of technology TTZ are able to adjust it with their needs for creation of holes for worm. What enables them to reach high degrees of precision for their operations. Constructions biotecks do not depend on the planetary orbits for certain phases of their jumps. The Edénistes falcons can jump up to 15 years light while the gerfauts can reach distances of 21 years light. technology TTZ is also used as component with the Alchemist of Neutronium. To carry out a jump TTZ close to gravity of a star or a planet concerns a difficult exercise and this operation is often at the origin of breakdowns of the navigation systems of the Adamistes vessels, going sometimes until the complete destruction of the vessels. A terracompatible planet standard interdict thus jumps of the vessels adamists at a distance of less than 55.000 km (except at the points of Lagrange) while the vessels bioteks can it starting from 2.000 km. A Edéniste planet extends this distance to between 100.000 and 175.000 km. As for the habitats, their pensantor artificial does not influence the coordinates of jump.

Main characters of the Paddle of the night

Samual Aleksandrovich

Lord High Admiral of the Space Forces of the Confederation

Joshua Calvert

Captain of the vessel adamist Lady Macbeth . It began like recuperator in the Ruine ring near Peace. It is thanks to a discovery in this ring that it grows rich by selling with the biddings the fruit by its discovery, enabling him to give to nine the vessel of his/her father who it orders. Very gifted space pilot, and having an intuition out of the commun run. Large intergalactic womanizer, he does not remain about it less the privileged lover of Ione Saldana which controls the Tranquillité habitat. It is the hero of this epopee.

Liol Calvert

Unknown half-brother of Joshua Calvert, left by their common father on the Garissa planet. Like all the survivors garissans, Liol is found in Dorados, where it will nourish the hope to be able to furrow space following the example his father. - Semi-crucial Character

Al Capone

The Al Capone heart, returned of beyond, which invested a body. As during its life of mortal, Al Capone tries to reign as a Master on the News-California planet where the body lived which it has - crucial Character

Dariat

One of the many descendants of Rubra, it is one of only to include/understand instinct true nature of had. It makes a pact with them, going even until leaving its body while dying to invest some another, in order to acquire new the capacity conferred on the hearts which return from beyond. - Semi-crucial Character

Quinn Dexter

Member very active of sect of Carrier of Light on Ground (denomination in which one can find an allusion to Lucifer), Quinn Dexter is off-set on the Lalonde planet following its arrest on Earth. At the time of a ritual being connected with some practical satanists, Quinn becomes the first body had because of a rupture in the space-time continuum and is believed, so the envoy of the " Brother of Dieu" itself. This rupture is caused accidentally by an extremely advanced and assoiffée extraterrestrial creature of knowledge: Ly-Silphe.

Thereafter, it will manage to take again the control of its body by locking up there the heart which had it and becomes thus most powerful of had.

Quinn Dexter thus represents the incarnation of the blackest madness and the Evil to the state gross. Its only will is to inflict the pure suffering and to make reign the most total destruction, in order to prepare the arrival of Satan, the brother of God, or Carrying Light.

One seldom saw, in a novel of SF, a malicious also worked, and representing also deeply the Evil. But the true prowess of the author is not to have allotted to a character too Manichean to him or stupid. Indeed, Quinn Dexter is a character with multiple facets, of a great intelligence and representing a real danger because of its immense capacities. It is the malicious of the history.

Erick Thakrar

Member of the SRC (Intelligence service of the Confederation), it was charged to infiltrate the crew of the Vengeance on Villeneuve in order to dismantle a network of smuggling.

Andre Duchamp

Captain of the vessel adamist the Revenge on Villeneuve . André Duchamp is a particularly covetous person, with morals more than doubtful. It is thus ready to charter its vessel to carry out illegal races through the galaxy or to deliver to various acts smuggling and of piracy. It dedicates a hatred without terminal with the " anglos" , descendants of the Anglo-Saxon populations of the Earth.

Ashly Hanson

Pilot of spatiojet (vehicle intended to make return tickets between planet and the vessel in orbit), it belongs to the crew of Joshua Calvert.

He is also present in " The lives and coil Tiarella Rosa " off; , in the collection " has second chance At Eden "

Father Elwes Horst

Priest sent on Lalonde to punish it semi-officially its lack of faith and activism. It sinks in alcohol and cowardice on its arrival in the village of Dexter. He knows his redemption by saving children of Aberdale after the Rupture.

Ralph Hiltch

Ralph Hiltch is an Agent of the ESA in station on Lalonde. It is then implied in the great battle of the Release.

Louise Kavanagh

Girl of a rich person owner, and member of an big family of Norfolk. She will be the amante of Joshua Calvert and a child will give him. She is also implied in the fight against Quinn Dexter and had on the Earth. - Crucial Character

Powell Manani

Supervisor of LIFO and the colonists of the new village of Aberdale on Lalonde. It has a dog with which it has the bond of affinity. It will be sacrificed by Quinn Dexter and its heart will be the vector of Ly-cilphe which will create the rupture in reality.

Fletcher Christian

The revolt of Bounty returned among deaths on the planet Norfolk, it is not animated by the hatred of the others not had. It will help Louise Kavanagh to escape from Norfolk before had does not steal it. It will be then captured by the security forces of the Earth and will cooperate in order to stop Quinn Dexter. Lastly it will be used as offering to the Brother of Light.

Laton

Rebellious Edenist, also called snake, Laton initially was characterized by his cruelty without equal by massacring a habitat complete edenist thanks to a virus from his creation, making million victims. Hidden on Lalonde with the research of immortality, it becomes one of the had first. Thanks to its great moral fiber, coming to him from its edenism, he manages to influence the thoughts of his owner and to take again the top on him. He will repurchase his fault by saving Syrinx and while sacrificing himself to prevent the totality of Édénistes of real nature and the danger which represent had.

Dr. Alkad Mzu

Originating in Garissa, creative of the Alchemist of Neutromium, the ever terrifying weapon created more. Taken refuge on the habitat Peace after the destruction of its planet, and supervised by various secret services, it revealed with nobody the site of the Alchemist. - Crucial Character

Rubra

Like Laton, it is a snake, a rebel who disavows his Édéniste culture. It thus will create its own modified habitat, Valisk, like its own spacecrafts, the gerfauts. At the end of its life, Rubra transferred totality from its personality in Valisk, becoming the Master of the places. - Crucial Character

Ione Saldana

Lord of Ruin, it reigns on Tranquillité. It is the downward one of Michael Saldana, heir to the crown of the kingdom of Kulu, which was made disinherit following the creation of Peace (edenism being banished by the adamists). It thus has the bond of affinity with its habitat. Its mission, bequeathed by his/her Michael grandfather, is to discover what occurred in the Ruine ring, made up of the remains of a foreign civilization to the human ones. It reveals its true identity very little time after the discovery of Joshua Calvert in the Ruine ring, and becomes its privileged mistress. - Crucial Character

Gerald Skibbow

It is one of the colonists of Lalonde, sent in the same village as Quinn Dexter. It will become one of the had first. Captured at ends of studies by the Space Forces of the Confederation, it constitutes the first case of exposure of one had in tau zero. Thereafter, it will give itself the mission of saving his daughter Marie Skibbow, had by Kiera Slater which reigns now on Valisk. It is a crucial character.

Marie Skibbow/Kiera

Who charms girl of Gerald Skibbow, it tries to flee Lalonde well before the appearance of had. She will be however made catch up with in Durringham, capital of Lalonde, by the had body of Quinn Dexter. She flees in space to try to subject another planets to had, and will find herself on Valisk. Important character

Syrinx

Captain of the vessel edenist Œnone - semi-crucial Character

Wing-Tsit Chong

Founder of the edenism.

Principal planets

Atlantis

Only planet colonized by conscious Edenistes and their habitats (in the form of giant islands deriving). Planet entirely covered by an ocean, known for its exports of fish and very tasty seafood.

Possédés will take the control of one of the islands while being injected into the multiple conscience but Laton will be sacrificed while making jump the habitat.

Avon

It is on this planet that the Confederation was created, it accommodates the seat of the assembly of the representatives of the human systems inhabited as well as species Kiint and Tyrathcas. It is in orbit of this planet that is the Trafalgar asteroid, seat of the command of the fleet of the Confederation.

Earth

The ground was polluted so much that its atmosphere and its climate do not make it possible human any more to live outside. Immense domes corresponding for the majority to the old capitals and big cities thus have summers built in order to shelter humanity. Each dome is connected to different by the system of Vidtrain, and to space by an orbital tower.

Garissa

Planet destroyed by vessels sent by Omuta , with which it was in war because of a disagreement on the exploitation of a field of asteroids very rich in metals, the Dorados . On the 95 million inhabitants, only 700.000 would have survived.

Golomo

Jobis

First planet discovered inhabited by of Kiints.

Jupiter

it is here that the first habitat edenist (Eden) was born. As a gas planet, important resources He3.

Kulu

Capital planet of the Kingdom of Kulu. Controlled by the royal family Saldana.

Kursk

Russoethnic Planête. Birthplace of the Lord High Admiral Samual Aleksandrovich

Lalonde

Planet recently opened with the human colonialisation, it is located respectively at 22 and several hundred years lights of Ombey and of the Earth. It shelters an important human colony, which must face its tropical climate. Lalonde is the seat of the first rupture in the reality in which Quinn Dexter takes part.

March

Planet terra-formed for the human ones wanting to live in Communism.

Mastrit-PJ

Planête of origin of Tyrathcas and Mosdvas. Its transformation into a red giantess obliged Tyrathcas to flee by using celestial arches.

Mirchusko

Gas giant planet around which orbit the ring Ruine and the Tranquillité habitat.

California news

It is the monoethnic first planête rested by humanity. It belongs to richest and technologically most advanced. Al Capone, coldly returned among deaths, will take control by the force of it and will make use of it as bases of its expansion through the human universe.

Ngeuni

Norfolk

Planet orbits about it in a binary star system (the Duke and the Duchess) to the political system of the pastoral type. The government of planet refuses the majority of technologies including medicine and transport. The economy of planet is based on the production of " Tears of Norfolk" , alcohol of luxury more snuffed in all the confederation. The planet is divided in fields which cultivate Pinks of Norfolk and which produce their vintage of Tears annually. The Pinks of Norfolk push only on this planet from the singularity of the light produced by two stars. Become ripe, weighed down by their life, they are curved in order to cry a liquid which is collected and refined during one year until becoming an alcohol. Native planet of Louise Kavanagh, Joshua Calvert decides to make trade there and comes to buy to the father of Louise part of her production. It will make there enter Quinn Dexter and Norfolk will be extracted from the universes by had.

Nyvan

Second planête discovered by humanity. Its settlement pluriethnic will be a failure, the various nations which compose it being in a state of perpetual hostility.

It is on this planête that Quinn Dexter will try its great project for the first time.

Ombey

The most recent planet of the Kingdom of Kulu. The Peninsula of Mortonridge is entirely seen invaded by had. The kingdom of Kulu then decides to launch a large release campaign, carried out by Ralph Hiltch, of coordination with Édénistes (a first historical for Kulu), which provides soldiers bioteks, less sensitive to the capacities of had. It is an entirely psychological campaign, in order to persuade the population that had are not invincible and that the kingdom (and the whole confederation) will not let itself dictate its will by had.

Omuta

Planet in conflict with Garissa thirty years before the events of the novel. Because of the genocide and quasi destruction of Garissa, Omuta was seen inflicting embargo a thirty years by the Confederation and applied by the Space Forces of the Confederation.

Oshanko

Ethnic Planête nippo. One of large the kingdom of the confederation.

Saturn

Planet providing of He3 to the confederation. Also place of reproduction of the falcons.

Yosemite

Principal habitats

Peace

Home port of Joshua Calvert, it is a habitat which presents three characteristics:

  • it is exceptionally large

  • it is not controlled by the edenists
  • it is in orbit around the ring of Ruin, vestige of civilization Laymil, mysteriously disappeared.

Its founder was the Crown prince to the kingdom of Kulu, Michael Saldana who dedicated her existence with the scientific research to elucidate the causes of the extinction of Laymils, which could also threaten humanity. With this intention, he violated a catholic religious taboo (religion of the kingdom of Kulu) by using technology edenist. The Princess Ione Saldana is the current sovereign, carrying the title of Lord of Ruin.

Valisk

Habitat of the personality of Rubra, it will be a high place of conflicts, on the one hand against had and on the other hand against the descendant of Rubra, Dariat. Valisk was rested by a snake which rejected the edenism, but without expressing the violence of another snake: Laton. Valisk is also the place of creation of the gerfauts and their older home port.

Eden

Original habitat of the edenists rested by a Buddhist man. This same man is to some extent the founder of Édenisme.

Pallas

Perseus

Remus

Romulus

Saturn habitat. The house of the Œnone vessel.

Races

Ly-cilphes

Race of which extremely long evolution at summer. Their planet of origin knows a 9 years cycle during which Ly-cilphes can evolve/move, at the conclusion of this cycle the life is destroyed by apocalyptic tempètes and a new evolution must begin. To be extracted from this diagram they succeeded in at the cost of million cycles, with becoming a simple conscience at the day of their death. Ly-cilphe is responsible for the rupture in reality, its thirst for knowledge led it to come to observe humanity on Lalonde at the time when Quinn Dexter sacrificed Powell Manani. It was introduced into the body of sacrificed at the time of its death and opened a breach on beyond.

Laymils

Old race of which there remains only the ring of ruins like remembering. Thanks to the mémorielle pile that Joshua Calvert in the ring discovered, one will learn that they had to face them as the rupture in the reality and the return of deaths, as their planet, which sat in the center of the ring, was withdrawn from the universe, and which the survivors have chooses the suicide by destroying their habitats whose ruins are still visible.

Tyrathcas

Mysterious people. The transformation of their star into supernova obliged them to flee by using arches with generation. It will found many colonies in a vast zone of the galaxy, not éhsitant to practice a genocide to release a planête which interests them. They take part in the colonization of Lalonde in order to collect bays, of which they make a drink. Tyrathcas in general avoid the contact with the other races. Their company is divided into Castes: reproducers, Soldiers, the Vassal ones and other roles. Of equine appearance and size, they do not have obviously ears or nostrils, and their mouth resembles a shell of Palourde. Only the Reproducers can really communicate. They secrete chemical instructions bound for the brain of vassal and the soldiers, who obey to them blindly. They do not have a true religion, but in the event of disorder (as now) they call upon that which they call " God Deadened ". An old Tyrathca vessel would have learned its existence in the past and Tyrathcas since is convinced that them " Dieu" will be able to save them human Possédés, and request the idol which they built in its honor.

Mosdvas

It is about a race whose planet of origin would be the same one as Tyrathcas.

Kiints

Kiints are beings massive, size of an elephant for the adults, and extremely intelligent. They constitute the technologically most advanced race in the Confederation. However the space voyage does not interest them and they thus never built spaceship TTZ. Kiints communicate by telepathy with Edénistes. Their objectives are mysterious; it seems that they wish to study the human race without interfering on the course of the events. Only some Kiints are present in the Confederation, in particular credits in the scientific research (xenobiology/xenosociology) on the Tranquillité habitat and Avon.
