A New Spacer's ABCs.

Written by: Admiral Imperator Reeloc Sol'lun, The Polychrome Pilot
Date: Wednesday, September 11th, 2024
Addressed to:


A is for Aleph, a system known by all,
a hub for all spacers, big or small.

B is for BEASTs who wear big metal suits,
with railguns and cannons, they're down to shoot.

C is for Commsphere, a network so wide.
Connecting all folks, it's part of our lives.

D is for Danica, the Song's capital zone,
Song City's a haven many soldiers call home.

E is for Engineers, who build bots and turrets,
crafting wonders with all sorts of gadgets.

F is for Fury, wielding kithblades aglow
slicing through foes with each powerful blow.

G is for GCEPS, saving nature and beasts,
ensuring all flora and fauna won't cease.

H is for HETE, the Atarsids' great pride,
recloning us spacers whenever we die.

I is Ishvana, a big threat to Starmourn,
it fought Elder Races, and left many forlorn.

J is for Jin, a purple-skinned race
Their deatheye can sense recent deaths in a place.

K is for Kith, a form of energy so vast.
It's born of the cosmos and our long past.

L is Litharge, heart of the Celestine Ascendancy,
a city where dreams dance in neon cacophony.

M is for Mindsim, that's your digital guide!
You stay on the Comms so long as you're alive.

N is Nanoseer, wielding nanites with ease,
afflicting their targets with mental maladies.

O is for Orpheon, where Decheerans are from.
In the planet Atria, many lives hum.

P is for PIECE, a Scoundrel's best friend,
a blaster so trusty, bringing fights to an end.

Q is for Quickmark, a pawnshop renowned,
where treasures and junk can be sold and found.

R is for Reynolds Spaceport of Scatterhome,
where daring souls and dreamers freely roam.

S is for Scoundrels, suave and so sly,
with a PIECE and a grin, they can fight with guile.

T is for Ta-deth, an Elder Race now gone.
They made cosmpiercers that still power on.

U is for UCC, a channel for all.
In there, you can join a Sector-wide call.

V is for Voidgates, portals through space,
warping ships quickly from place to place.

W is Wetwiring, tech in our flesh,
healing wounds and sickness, so we always stay fresh.

X is Xenozoology, a noble pursuit,
the study of animals, from fierce to cute.

Y is for Y'saari, the creators of Marks,
a currency used across Starmourn's parts.

Z is for Zhubeast, a two-headed beast,
its tender meat makes for a grand feast.

Now that you've learned the stars' ABCs,
you can travel the planets with greater ease.

So strap in, young spacer, and take to the skies,
Welcome to Starmourn -- its time to fly!
