this forum is a repository for any non-rp character development*, including thread trackers, character bios, relationship lists, diaries, comics, whatever! creativity encouraged.

* unless it belongs in solos or fanfic! use your best judgment about where to put things.

the artificial intelligences that help to administrate life on the aldebaran ark are hosted here. in-character, you may engage with them easily using your holophone. out of character, just reply to the relevant thread to submit a question or request!

the hub for official investigations into the aldebaran ark is found here. you can sign up for quests and find a list of clues assembled by the codex protocol here, as well as issue requests for assistance.

not all interaction on the ark is face to face; there are a variety of ways you can communicate remotely, starting with your free holophones! texting, phone calls, video calls, social media apps-- socialization is only a click away.

the high-speed space railway connects each of the seas of the aldebaran ark via a clear tube that allows the train to speed from one sea to the next. the transit time from one sea to the next is approximately twenty minutes. the trains are clean and polished, and the windows are shielded against the bright light of the red aldebaran sun.

the location of the commerce hub is not totally clear, as it is only accessible via a teleportation device in each city center. the hub itself is a large room, awash in bright, cool light and tones of blue, displaying all kinds of merchandise.

if you have a solo thread, whether for an event or just personal development, you can post it here.
