Origins

Random circuits would offer the best means of evading pursuit, but certain courses could provide greater promise. Thus, the human refugees contacted the publics of those worlds where they were less likely to be tracked. Among these were several which were close to access for other aspects of universal expression. Simply put, they aimed for […]

When the population from the Lyran system fled, it was with a great history and enduring sense of self that they went. Of course, they were fleeing destruction, so more had to be carried in their memory than could be carried in their hands. What they did not bring, they reconstructed from what they remembered, […]

Far away from native skies, humans set foot on land unlike any other their feet had trodden before. The vault of stars above their heads told a new tale, one that they would in time weave into a new story of their past. From those stars, they would begin to discern their future, one vastly […]

The roots of galactic human civilization, including that of Earth as you know it, are essentially Lyran. With variations slight or large, all truly human civilizations can consider that their present culture and rituals derive from the stars of Lyra.

While the diaspora carried them broadly across the reaches of their galactic neighborhood, thus ensuring at least partial survival […]

Judging from the probabilities encountered by the Lyran refugees upon their escape into what they hoped would be untraceable space, to arrive with a sizeable contingent within reach of hospitable worlds could be considered unlikely at best. Humans have changed little in one regard over the countless millennia of their presence; they know that making […]

Pushed beyond the edge of familiarity, the Lyran refugees contemplating their next move gathered to discuss their options. One among them, Ro Bian, offered to make the journey to the first planet with a covert transport vessel. From it, he could draft surveillance notes and begin empathic connection to the planetary sphere. Given the urgency […]

Once the signal was received on board the starships that quarter would be given, the refugees prepared for disembarkation onto new shores. The expanse of space between them and their point of origin had reached its limit, and a new world beckoned them to call it home. None of their personnel had made their final […]
