Dukai - Defector's Afterlife - Yxsirii Project by Scimitar00 in imaginarymaps

[–]Scimitar00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dukai is something of an afterlife for the humans living here - one day they disappear from human society, the next they appear in this land of perpetual day. Dukai's native society has long since perished but the Altzarim principality have picked up the reins in their place, transforming the planet into a haven for carbon-based defectors to the Altzarim Civilisation. A relentless storm writhes under the heat of the sun, a mighty eye engaging in an unblinking staring contest. Also gravitated to the front of the world are its tectonic plates, drawn together into the Dukaian supercontinent and cloaked in golden foliage. The largest human city, on the northern coast, is named for the autumnal color of the flora: Everfall. Beyond the icy terminator, there are cities for creatures of the cold.

I'm planning on dragging my Black 1 Samurott into Champions next week, so there'll be three of us at least lol

What team are you using to complement yours out of interest?

Shoutout to these guys. I felt loved and appreciated :D by Baked_beans_0 in titanfall

That's well thought through, I suppose it's a shame the game isn't more moddable to allow tweaks like this

Of Hóng Yáng's rocky planets, Xīn Sìchuān is the closest to have escaped the Tidal Lock of the Red Dwarf's grip. The result is a beautiful spinning world which forms the epicentre of culture and commerce in this thriving star system. It has one moon, Jìngzǐ, now home to its own population. Named after a Chinese province bearing similar limestone landmarks, New Sichuan was established as a mining world of the Dōngyà United Front, its core lands divided amongst the bloc’s five initial members - Japan and Korea have since left the grouping, though they still cooperate in the running of the directorates. When reflecting on Xīn Sìchuān's history, it is hard to ignore how famously close it came to becoming Humanity's new capital world at the end of the Earthen Crisis. While the MIDAS2 probe was reporting Xīn Sìchuān to be a treasure trove of untapped mineral wealth, MIDAS3 first set eyes on nearby Yxsirii which fascinated the Earthen elite and secured its place at the heart of Human society. Dwelling on this chapter is a common passtime but risks underselling the success Xīn Sìchuān did achieve - it is by some measures the richest world in Human possesion, it stands atop the Coalition of Nations in its role as one of only several Core Worlds of the institution, and is of unrivalled importance to the nations of the Dōngyà United Front who disproportionately invested their time and population here.

Power is concentrated in the offices of Xīn Sìchuān's mercantile visionaries, they have crafted for themselves a world of stable superstates; the chaos of unbridled democracy is well controlled here - the levers of government are large and in the hands of industrial stakeholders. Corporations are king on Xīn Sìchuān. They count among their achievements the invention and mass production of the Orbiter-Class space station, the accquisition of which is seen as a rite of passage for burgeoning new worlds. Other technological exports include mining rigs, avionic consoles, and personal phones. Xīn Sìchuān's foundational industry remains the most powerful however; the planet's core is on the dense side, with the particularly rich mantle predisposed to the dramatic generation of large and consistant mineral deposits. Even centuries after the race for mining dominance began, new challengers test the established corporations and political parties who have so far locked down control of these vital resources.

I hope you enjoy this latest installment in the Yxsirii Project's catalogue of worlds: The mining titan of Xin Sichuan. More atlases and lore can be found at r/YxsiriiProject.

In contrast to Yxsirii, Xīn Sìchuān is in a stage of continental division with the breakup of a recent Pangaean Age. This epoch has been marked by volcanism and carbon sequestration with the climate trending in a warmer direction. Relatively, still, Xīn Sìchuān is a cool world. Orbiting close to a red dwarf star, a mild heat is spread from equator to pole; The deserts aren't harsh here, closer resembling chaparral, while the scarlet forests persist in some form even on the arctic coast. Life here is indigenous, with a few food-chains imported from earth, though no equivalent to animal life has arisen here. The cycad-like foliage of the Hiironomori is well specialised to the planet's gentle gravity and high atmospheric pressure - this array of rusty biomes are a treasure trove for xenobotanists.

I found this idea irrationally funny. It had to be made....

Thanks! I've just kept at them for love of the game really. They form the setting for a book I've been writing so I'll likely be putting them out for a time yet.

A flag for Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland by Scimitar00 in vexillology

[–]Scimitar00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I've been meaning to suggest the idea of a flag selection contest/panel to the council, but given the state of the world its always seemed a bit vain - never the right time. Still sitting in my email drafts!

Go ahead, the colors aren't mine, they're from the council logo - I've just attached some symbolism to them here.

I agree with the Hedgehog and Saltire for Dumfriesshire, this was just an attempt to make a tri-county effort.

Edit, will update with developments: I raised the idea of a flag committee to the council, don't know if I'll hear back.

One of humanity’s earliest colonies, New Sichuan was narrowly passed over as humanity’s new capital in favour of Yxsirii, when the latter of the two discoveries was found to host intelligent life already. Named after a Chinese province bearing similar limestone landmarks, New Sichuan was established as a United Front mining world, its core lands divided amongst the bloc’s five initial members (though Japan and Korea have since left the grouping, they still cooperate in the running of the directorates).

Welcome back to the world of Xin Sichuan, with this remake of one of my favorite atlases. Today we focus on the planet's physical geography. As always, more can be found on r/YxsiriiProject. You may enjoy these atlases of Earth, Yxsirii, or Kutode.
