Backstory
Planet Prime is the cradle of humanity and the birthplace of hyperspace innovation. As the central hub for early interstellar exploration, it played a vital role in humanity’s expansion into the stars during the Hyperspace Exodus. Its advanced scientific infrastructure and rich history of collaboration made it the epicenter of technological progress.
However, as hyperspace travel fractured time and space, Planet Prime’s influence waned. The once-thriving hub became a bureaucratic shadow of its former self, struggling to maintain relevance in a galaxy dominated by corporate interests and fractured alliances.
Key Moments
- The Hyperspace Exodus, launched from Planet Prime, marked the beginning of humanity’s interstellar expansion.
- The establishment of the Planet Prime Science Council, which governed early hyperspace research and exploration.
- The decline of Planet Prime as corporations took control of hyperspace trade routes and governance.
Role in the Universe
Despite its decline, Planet Prime remains a cultural and historical landmark in the galaxy. It serves as a reminder of humanity’s ambitious origins and the potential for unity in the face of chaos. Though it no longer leads in technological advancements, its legacy endures through its contributions to hyperspace exploration and interstellar diplomacy.
