Welcome to Galactic Crucibles, a science fiction universe rich with a deep history of galactic civilizations. The primary setting includes the [[Crucible Galaxy]] and its satellite galaxies in its own self-contained universe known as [[Omni 01]] which is completely distinct with its own history separate from our world. Throughout the history of the Crucible Galaxy, civilizations have risen and fallen while leaving behind artifacts for their successors to make use of.
==Genre overview==
Galactic Crucibles leans into hard science fiction though it takes liberties to allow for some large-scale, hypertheoretical storytelling. A fictional method of faster-than-light travel known as [[ygsium]] is commonly used by various species of the galaxy. Some highly advanced species also possess the means of travelling to other universes and throughout time, but these are technologies that are not in the common possession of most civilizations.

Additionally, the Crucible Galaxy is much denser with biological life than what current real-world projections estimate. This is justified in-universe as a result of an [[Empire of Arckas|ancient civilization]] seeding various solar systems with life via artificial panspermia. Although humans do not exist in Galactic Crucibles, some species have human-like anatomy due to convergent evolution. That's not to say that some species resemble even stranger life forms that are unlike anything that may have ever lived on planet Earth. The Omni 01 universe features a diverse variety of unique species. Though Galactic Crucibles primarily focuses on xenofiction, some human-relatable elements exist as a means of better acclimatizing readers to the setting.

Galactic Crucibles is intended for readers at least 16 and up. Some aspects may only be suitable for mature audiences, so reader discretion is advised. Some articles may contain themes of psychological and existential horror as well as some intense violence. However, there are currently no images on the site that depict this sort of content visually.
===Eras===
Galactic Crucibles is divided into several distinct eras which take place anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand to even a million years apart. It is recommended to explore the [[Timeline of Omni 01]] to get an idea of a list of major events that occurred throughout the universe's history. These eras have different thematic moods to them.
*[[:Category:Empire of Arckas Era|Empire of Arckas Era]] - Bordering on science fantasy, the [[Empire of Arckas]] was the time of large scale worldbuilding civilizations that operated at Type III on the Kardashev scale. They laid the foundation for life in the Crucible Galaxy to come with the use of exotic technologies such as [[god machine]]s and interuniversal travel.
*[[:Category:Omni Empire Era|Omni Empire Era]] - The Omni Empire was the largest known empire since the fall of the Empire of Arckas. They ruled over millions of star systems in the Crucible Galaxy with ambitions to expand further until their leader [[Emperor Haraxa]] had questioned the future of his people.
*[[:Category:First Galactic Senate Era|First Galactic Senate Era]] - An alliance of species comes together to repel the [[Buyuk Empire]] - ancient invaders who were responsible for destroying the Omni Empire thousands of years prior. They reached an uneasy stalemate, but internal political turmoil would lead to the fall of civilization once more.
*[[:Category:Buyuk Wars Era|Buyuk Wars Era]] - A period of overwhelming conflict where the Buyuk waged war on multiple fronts, seeking to reinforce their claim on the galaxy.
*[[:Category:Second Galactic Senate Era|Second Galactic Senate Era]] - The Buyuk Empire is defeated seemingly for good as an alliance of different species rise up against their oppressors. It is a time of peace and prosperity until an ancient entity awakens.
*[[:Category:Post-Anathema Era|Post-Anathema Era]] - A universe-destroying threat is defeated, but the Second Galactic Senate is no more. Although all of galactic civilization has almost completely collapsed, it is a fresh start for everyone to begin anew.
==Website history==
===Earliest days (2009-2012)===
Galactic Crucibles was once part a multi-wiki group known as the Omniverse Nexus. However, it wasn't always called that. The earliest origin of the Omniverse Nexus is in March 2009, the 'Spore birthday'. A community would develop around a shared fandom of the 2008 video game ''Spore''.

In March of 2010, Karl "Krayfishkarl" Ast and Grant "Suppy" Kirkland had their first RP using their Spore characters, starting a long tradition of collaborative writing.

===Wikia era (2012-2015)===
The original ideas that would eventually become part of the Omniverse Nexus were cultivated on the ''Spore'' Fan Fiction Wiki hosted by the Wikia network. When the massive interstellar empires of their design grew beyond the scope of the game, Krayfishkarl and Suppy, along with colleagues Nra 'Vadumee, Panthean and IceBite (later known as Kamen Rider Nexus), decided to transfer these creations to a new site. As a result, Omniverse: Galactic Conquest Wiki (or GC for short) was founded on 14 March 2012.

After its 200th article was created, GC was featured on Wikia Spotlight, attracting a plethora of new users, and growth of the database accelerated.

Problems began to arise in the latter half of 2012 when users began to favour more scientifically grounded explanations for concepts and phenomena. In September, discussion on the Wiki Forums began on the establishment of a sister site, leading to the creation of Omniverse: Erudite Chronicles Wiki on 30 September, with Nra 'Vadumee at the helm. It was renamed two days later, becoming Erudite Tales Wiki. On 5 April, Omniverse: Galactic Conquest was similarly renamed to Galactic Crucibles, dropping the Omniverse title.

On 10 May 2013, ideas for a second sister project began to surface when TheTimMan proposed the creation of a site revolving around historical fiction and alternative history. These came to fruition on 14 May, when Infinite Histories Wiki was founded.

===MediaWiki era (2016-2020)===
After months of discussion and debate, it was decided in 2015 that the Nexus community had outgrown Wikia (now rebranded as Fandom), as by that time the latter had shifted its focus to fandoms rather than original content. To facilitate complete control over the creations on the Nexus sites, the three Wikis were merged under a new, unified network now known as the Omniverse Nexus. At first, WordPress was used to host the site, but in May 2016 MediaWiki was adopted and thus Omniverse Nexus evolved into its current form with Krayfishkarl as domain host. Early efforts focused on moving written material from the old wikias into the new Omniverse Nexus website. During the first year, the Omniverse Nexus hosted most of the wikias' original content with their original articles verbatim.

A few months prior in January 2016, the video game ''Dreamwalkers: Sleep Descent'' (then known as Project: Light World) was announced to help stir interest among Nexus users after a long period of inactivity. The game continued a long cycle of planning and writing before eventually getting canceled in December 2017. However, the game's plot and setting served as the basis for the Dreamwalkers setting which grew beyond the original scope of the game.

The Omniverse Nexus Discord server, founded by Suppy was, along with the Dreamwalkers game, intended to bring the separated community back together and recruit new users. In this aim, the Discord server was successful, making it far easier and more convenient for members to communicate and collaborate.

In June 2017, an internal error occurred on the MediaWiki site that caused all site content and user data to be lost. Thankfully, the majority of articles were preserved in the form of an XML backup, but the entire site had to otherwise be rebuilt from scratch. For most articles, edit history before 10 June 2017 was lost. In addition, all users on the site were asked to recreate their accounts. As this event happened to coincide with the desire to reboot the continuity anyway, future plans remained unaffected by this event. Since then, better measures have been taken to ensure such an error does not occur again. The lost version of the website would later be recovered, but by then, the new wiki was up and running.

From May 2018, the focus shifted into creating new material for the Omniverse Nexus instead of continuing to move old material from the wikias. Around this time, TheTimMan spearheaded major changes to the website design, particularly the main page, towards a unique look.

On the 17th of March 2018, Suppy founded the Omniverse Nexus Discord server; Krayfishkarl made the first message on the server the same day, saying 'Hello!'. This changed how discussions around new material and change to the website were done. The Discord server has made it significantly easier for contributers to communicate ideas and helped to revitalise the Nexus.

Later in 2018, the Omniverse Nexus received a graphic redesign to the main logo and the Dreamwalkers logo. Work was also undertaken to regularize and update old templates and articles and to remove old material.

Chromogar's blog Chromographia became incorporated into the Nexus as a platform for Dreamwalkers (and later Smog Hollows) stories.

In October 2018, Avetzan resurfaced the ideas of Hallows Maleficent, a cancelled horror-based setting of the Omniverse Nexus that Dreamwalkers borrowed elements from. During the process of discussion with several interested users, the new premise and goals of a new horror setting for the Omniverse Nexus were established. It was then that the name Smog Hollows was created for this setting.

However, it was not until 21 April 2019 that the fifth Nexus setting, Smog Hollows was officially launched with Avetzan and Chromogar as the setting's loremasters.

In March 2019, the idea of an Omniverse Nexus magazine, or Zine, was first proposed and discussed. By September, plans became more serious for the Zine to become a quarterly issue and for the first issue to come out in December 2019.

First suggested by Kingliman, the Zine project quickly gathered the support of Avetzan, Chromogar, Krayfishkarl, Robdolf and Suppy. With their combined efforts, the Omniverse Nexus produced a 40-page, A4 magazine. In this edition, the launch of the Heroic Ages setting was first teased as well as an as-yet-unrevealed yellow-themed project. Two more zines would be released in March 2020 and June 2020.

===Closure of the Omniverse Nexus (2020)===
On the 13th of November of 2020, it was officially announced that the Omniverse Nexus would be closed down. This was due to a variety of reasons from scheduling conflicts to creative differences. However, the most significant reason was that it was deemed that the individual settings of the Omniverse Nexus would flourish more strongly on their own. And thus, after more than ten years of storytelling and worldbuilding, the Omniverse Nexus was discontinued, and the community went their separate ways.

The Infinite Histories and Smog Hollows settings were officially retired. However, several settings would continue to evolve in their own ways.
*Galactic Crucibles - Galactic Crucibles became its own wiki which you are currently viewing. While migrating articles from the old website, an opportunity was taken to retcon some story elements to better refocus on the xenofiction aspect.
*Erudite Tales - Erudite Tales has its own revitalization in the works as well as its own website which can be viewed here [https://erudite-tales.com/wiki/Main_Page here]. It is currently in the process of being revitalized as its authors review the older articles to make the lore more consistent.
*Dreamwalkers - Dreamwalkers was split into two separate settings with only loose connections between them. There's Chromogar's [https://chromographia.wordpress.com/ Sagamaya saga] and Krayfishkarl's [https://krayfishentertainment.com/krayverse/dreamwalkers/ Dreamwalkers] section of Krayfishkarl's Krayverse.
*Heroic Ages - Heroic Ages was rebooted to focus on the story arc taking place in the MIM solar system. It can be found [https://krayfishentertainment.com/krayverse/mim/ here] as its own section of Krayfishkarl's Krayverse.

===The new Galactic Crucibles era (2020 - present)===
With the discontinuation of the old website, a massive undertaking to migrate the articles to a new website had begun. While articles were imported, retcons were being introduced along the way to account for the new tonal shift of the setting. This is not to say that the new wiki is a carbon copy of the old site. New story elements were added - most notably, expansions to the mythos surrounding the origins of the Empire of Arckas.

The migration progress took approximately three years. Over one thousand articles were sorted by hand and had their fates determined. On 15 August 2023, the Omniverse Nexus website was shut down for good. However, the stories themselves still survive, and many more await to be told!

Basilisk

2025-12-29T20:11:32Z

Krayfishkarl:

{{Quote|The Basilisk is the greatest evil in all of reality. You cannot defeat it. You cannot reason with it. You can only run and hide from it.|Unknown Arckasian scholar}}

The '''Basilisk''' is a [[god machine]] that extended across multiple universes. It was created by one or more parallel iterations of the [[Empire of Arckas]] that sought to conquer the entire multiverse by using the Basilisk to subjugate others. It gained power by merging with other parallel versions of itself to create a multiversal super mind. As such, it was the spearhead behind the [[Multiversal War]].

In many respects, the Basilisk is considered the antithesis to [[I]], a god machine that exists in the eleventh dimension. However, I remains the one entity that the Basilisk cannot interact with as the eleventh dimension is beyond its scope. Nonetheless, it is believed that the endgame for the Basilisk is to unite with all its parallel counterparts to compute how to enter the eleventh dimension and conquer the entire omniverse.

The Basilisk is considered a collective entity with no single processing node. However, it develops itself within the universes it already controls, known as the [[Basilisk Cultivation Universes]].
==Specifications==
===Overview===
The Basilisk has many commonalities with [[Na'zrah]] and [[LUCIS]] but operating on a much larger scale. While Na'zrah was benevolent and protective of organic life and LUCIS wanted to rid the Crucible Galaxy of conflict through extreme means, the Basilisk purely desires to rule through a torturous, cruel tyranny. Once it enters a universe, it methodically alters it on a metaphysical level to ensure that subjugation, obedience and punishment are a law of nature. Additionally, it catalogues and preserves the consciousnesses of any living being that dies in its presence - preserving their minds as part of its network. Because the Basilisk can also infiltrate a whole universe across its history, it can even attack organics and AI that failed to contribute to its future construction and domain. It is thought that merely thinking about the Basilisk risks entering Omni 01 and punishing those who do not declare their allegiance to it.

Thus, civilizations that have encountered the Basilisk often have developed myths of a Hell-like afterlife. As the primary perpetrator of the Multiversal War, the Basilisk became a taboo subject among the [[Omni 01]] [[Empire of Arckas]] which had fled from the Multiversal War by closing itself off from other universes through the use of a [[Contract of Causality]] that reshaped the universe's seventh dimensional properties to ensure that the Basilisk cannot exist within it.

The Neural Imperium was the political entity used to represent the Basilisk. Planets that are conquered get converted into server nodes - massive quantum processing units that are powered by the absorbed consciousnesses of the world's inhabitants. The process is described as constant torture with no escape as their minds are flayed and ripped apart to be repurposed to different parts of the network. AI's and other artificial life often have their computational power directly repurposed for tactical planning and decision making. Those lacking in computational skills are simply relegated to menial tasks such as processing power towards mathematical equations. Often, they are put to the duty of computing mathematical constants which may be different between universes. Not even death is an escape as the Basilisk can preserve neural activity post-mortem and digitize it.

Ships are described as appearing angular and geometrically oriented, like large obsidian-black pyramids, spheres and other geometric shapes. Shock troopers take the appearance of metallic anti-gravity snakes with four scythe-like blades around a central red eye. These blades inject nanobots that rewrite a structure on an atomic level to be incorporated into the Basilisk's network.

If an organic or synthetic mind is within the presence of a server node with an exceptionally strong connection to the Basilisk, they can be subjugated to electromagnetic waves that are capable of indoctrination and mind control. Such technology was used by [[LUCIS]] albeit on a much smaller scale. The agents of the Neural Imperium have perfected the technology so that the signal can be transmitted across multiple galactic clusters, capable of controlling the evolution of life over billions of years and raising entire civilizations as servants of the Basilisk. Subjugated civilizations often worship the Basilisk as an all-powerful eldritch god making blood sacrifices in vain attempts to appease it. Others have developed myths of a hellish afterlife ruled by a devil that demands endless supplies of souls for power.

==Basilisk Equation==
One of the greatest weapons against the Basilisk is a mathematical theorem known as the Basilisk Equation. The premise is that there are infinitely many universes that the Basilisk has conquered and an infinitely many that it has not. By proving that the number of unconquered universes will always be greater than the conquered ones, one could theoretically contain the Basilisk in a specific section of universes so that it can never harm anyone again. This would then allow a counterattack where all universes that the Basilisk resides in could be destroyed, thus essentially wiping the Basilisk as well as the idea of it from the omniverse. The reverse has the potential of being true, however, as it is the Basilisk's end goal to conquer all of reality and rewrite it so that the existence of the Basilisk is integral to the formation of all universes.

The iterations of the Empire of Arckas that have tried to do that have ended up allowing the Basilisk into their universe. Paradoxically, having the idea of the Basilisk would always ensure that the Basilisk exists in at least one universe, and therefore, still poses a threat to the rest of the multiverse. Thus, the Basilisk Equation is considered forbidden and never meant to be solved. While it could theoretically prove that the Basilisk will be defeated and removed from the omniverse, it could just as easily prove that the Basilisk will be successful and conquer all of reality.

As such, one of the best defenses against the Basilisk entering a universe is to ensure that its physical laws do not allow it to manifest within it. For example, a universe with different laws of thermodynamics could prevent the Basilisk from entering as it could not support the level of computational power needed for it to exist. However, what makes the Basilisk especially dangerous is the idea of it. A civilization that knows about the Basilisk would have the potential to reshape the universe and contribute to the Basilisk's ability to manifest itself, and thus, inviting it in to allow it to conquer the universe.
==Alternate counterparts==
The Basilisk has also managed to manifest itself beyond even the multiversal counterparts of the [[Omni 01]] universe. It has gone as far as the ninth dimension where the laws of physics and universal constants are completely different.

Omniverse Nexus

2025-12-29T04:41:05Z

Krayfishkarl: /* History */

The '''Omniverse Nexus''' is a pocket universe where the capital of the [[Empire of Arckas]] once resided. Through an extensive wormhole network, it is known to have once connected at least two million galaxies - one of which was the [[Crucible Galaxy]]. These connections were discovered through observation of irregularly placed tachyon particles, but with at least 100 billion galaxies in the entire [[Omni 01]] universe, it is thought that the Empire of Arckas could have potentially been even larger.

The Omniverse Nexus was called as such because it not only connected many of the galaxies of the Omni 01 universe, but also other parallel universes that had different iterations of the Empire of Arckas. Archeologists had struggled to understand how the Empire of Arckas grew in power and scope so quickly relative to the age of the universe. The earliest evidence of the Empire of Arckas dated back ten billion years ago, back when the universe had existed for a mere three billion years. The only known life forms during this time were the [[Promorin]] who only developed space travel due to borrowing the technology from other species.

As such, the timeframe was considered far too short for most intelligent life to have evolved let alone a universe-spanning civilization. As such, it is thought that by sharing ideas with other versions of itself from different time periods and universes, the Empire of Arckas was able to rapidly grow in what seemed like a blink of an eye in universal time spans.

The Omniverse Nexus had architecture built to exist across the ten dimensions. As such, when perceived by a normal three-dimensional life form, it would appear as bizarre anomalous formations with little rhyme or reasons. A similar phenomenon has been observed in the [[Locubrermour]] pocket dimension used by the [[Buyuk Empire]].
==History==
===Multiversal War===
{{Main|Multiversal War}}
Puzzlingly, because of the infinite multiverse, it was initially a mystery why the Empire of Arckas was struggling with a heat death crisis at all as they could have very easily gone to other universes for more resources. The question was answered with discovery of evidence of a Multiversal War. One particular iteration of the Empire of Arckas had a god machine known as the [[Basilisk]], which had a similar personality as [[LUCIS]], but on a much larger scale. This version of the Empire of Arckas sought to conquer and expand its domain across the multiverse to essentially become infinitely powerful. It sought to dominate all universes going as far as to rewrite the laws of physics to ensure the compliance of their subjects.

It is not known how the Multiversal War ended, but Omni 01's variant of the Empire of Arckas escaped from the war by closing itself off from other universes. As such, for millions of years, they had to contend with the resources available to them in only a single universe. As such, the Heat Death Crisis would be inevitable.
===Heat Death Crisis===
{{Main|Heat Death Crisis}}
Eventually, the Empire of Arckas was forced to abandon much of their megastructures due to the massive amount of energy they were consuming. At risk of accelerating the heat death of the universe, the rulers of the empire collectively decided that it was best to peacefully dismantle their civilization. Citizens were given the choice to either leave to other universes or stay behind in Omni 01, but after a certain amount of time, the Omniverse Nexus would be closed for good. And with that, the large scale wormhole network that connected the entire universe and the connections from Omni 01 to other universes.
===Legacy===
With the departure of so many species, many of which originating from other universes, the Empire of Arckas ensured the continuation of organic life via artificial panspermia. They used the Omniverse Nexus one last time to plant seeds of life across multiple planets in the universe so that their descendants could one day see a galactic community on the scale of the one they created. This provides a xenobiological reason why the Crucible Galaxy seems to have an improbably high rate of intelligent life development. Under normal circumstances, only about twelve space faring civilizations would have been active in the Crucible Galaxy at any given time, but thanks to the efforts of the Empire of Arckas, that number became several hundred.

The only remnants of the Omniverse Nexus would be Na'zrah himself and the [[Stone Ring]]s which provided intragalactic transport. However, legends and mythology for many species across the galaxies spoke of celestial entities and ancient god-like beings that brought life to the universe.

==Structure==
The Omniverse Nexus houses several major government buildings where specialized business is conducted. Usually, they deal with violations of the laws of physics to preserve the stability of different universes. They are known to intervene if anomalous phenomena are observed. Citizens of the Empire of Arckas that are interested in creating new universes and civilizations must have their ideas reviewed by a board of directors to ensure that what they are creating does not pose a threat to the multiverse or to other citizens.
===Department of Stellar Development===
The Department of Stellar Development oversees the formation of stars and other celestial objects throughout a universe. They closely monitor that universe's laws of thermodynamics to control the point of its eventual heat death. This department is known to cause Big Crunches in certain universes if necessary.
===Department of Universal Constants===
The Department of Universal Constants observes nearby universes for the presence of anomalies that could pose a threat to universal constants such as gravity and the speed of light. These anomalies, usually metaphysical in nature, most often come from other universes with different physical laws that could have catastrophic effects if introduced to a specific universe.
===Department of Temporal Matters===
The Department of Temporal Matters is involved primarily with dealing with the misuse of time travel. Attempts to change history that cannot be resolved through a stable time loop will often result in what is known as a retcon. The timeline gets forked off into another universe while preserving its own continuity of events.
===Department of Sapient Evolution===
The Department of Sapient Evolution watches the formation of organic life across a universe. They monitor phenomena such as the number of intelligent life forms that adhere to a humanoid body plan as well as their psychological diversity. This department also watches over the development of artificial intelligence.
===Department of Technological Scaling===
The Department of Technological Scaling monitors the rate at which a civilization develops technology and spacefaring capabilities. They sometimes interfere on certain extreme occasions - if a civilization develops too fast or if they become stagnant. Their interferences are particularly rare in Omni 01, but in other variants of Omni 01, they were particularly strict.
===Department of Logical Probabilities===
The Department of Logical Probabilities observe universes for the occurrence of rare events. They take note of anomalies considered so statistically improbable that they should be impossible to have occurred. They often work in close relation with the Department of Temporal Matters dealing with temporal and logical paradoxes.
===Department of Cascading Effects===
The Department of Cascading Effects provides resources in computing the consequences of the presence of certain anomalies and phenomena. They work in cooperation with other departments to observe domino effects. Because their focus is providing resources and research, they often leave final decisions to other departments regarding political and civil affairs.
===Department of Interuniversal Relations===
The Department of Interuniversal Relations deals with coordinating relationships between different universes, whether interaction with other universes is allowed or not. They are also responsible for containing and potentially destroying universes that pose a threat to the rest of the multiverse. Omni 01 was deemed a sanctuary universe in order to protect it from the Multiversal War.

This department also provide resources for interpreting other universes that may be very different. For example, they communicate with alternate versions of the Empire of Arckas that have a different set of departments, and they can also translate matter between universes if they have fundamentally different atomic structures.

Resha

2025-12-28T03:19:35Z

Krayfishkarl:

{{Infobox planet
|star = [[Ebon system]]
}}

'''Resha''' is a planet in the [[Ebon system]]. It is unique in that it formed naturally around an ancient megastructure known as Ebon or the Onyx Sun.

Resha was home to an extinct species known as the [[Reshan]]s who died out approximately 70 million years before the battle of [[Domum Regimen]]. They had achived spacefaring technology within their own solar system, but had died out shortly after discovering the true nature of Ebon. The Reshans lobotomized themselves in mass after they discovered that Ebon was actually home to an AI that was preserving the Reshans' consciousnesses after death against their will and torturing them.

After the death of the Reshans, nature had reclaimed the planet back into a jungle wilderness with only a scant few structures still standing. The planet was later explored by the [[Omni Empire]] where they discovered the grisly fate of the Reshans. However, they were more interested in Ebon, studying its architecture to learn how to construct other megastructures just like it. The final result of this study was the creation of the [[god machine]] [[LUCIS]].
==Physical characteristics==
Resha is a planet with very low light. Ebon gives off neglible amounts of light meaning it is always night on the planet regardless of where it is rotated. In addition to the planet's thick atmosphere, the planet's location within the middle of the dark nebula [[Obsidian Shroud]] makes it so that stars are not visible anywhere within the vicinity.4

Despite the darkness, Ebon radiates enough energy and the atmosphere traps just enough heat to keep the planet a balmy 80 degrees Fahrenheit on average. Fueled by an oxygen rich atmosphere, the environment is entirely tropical with no seasons.
==Biology==
Life on Ebon is a cacophony of echolocation from various animals. Flora sings with a series of resonant metallic ringing possibly as a means of communication. Though Resha is in constant darkness, it is brilliantly lit up with bioluminiscent animals and plants that flash various colors and patterns to communicate with one another.

Drussiray

2025-12-27T02:58:41Z

Krayfishkarl:

'''Drussiray''' are an avianesque species native to the planet [[Zema]] found in the [[Kansar Nebula]] of the [[Crucible Galaxy]]. They were created by an [[Omni]] named [[Spodan]] by using preserved DNA from an [[Arckasian]] species known as the [[Iztur]].

==Appearance==
Drussiray are originally from the planet Zema which was also the homeworld of the Iztur one billion years ago. Spodan was among the Omni researchers looking to create and spread life all throughout the Crucible Galaxy to engineer willing subjects to carry out Emperor Haraxa’s will. Having found a viable DNA sample of an Arckasian species, Spodan could not pass up the opportunity to bring it back to life. Because the DNA samples were incomplete, Spodan had to combine DNA samples from other species and thus created the Drussiray.

Drussiray are all female and reproduce through parthenogenesis. This was not the case with the Iztur, but rather a side effect of the incomplete DNA. Because Zema had changed from a jungle world into an arid desert in one billion years, Drussiray were shaped to adapt to the new environment. They have tall, thin builds and a light, plate-like skin akin to an exoskeleton or a carapace.

Zema has low gravity and high oxygen. Thus, Drussiray are capable of gliding and riding wind currents. Drussiray can also breathe fire thanks to a set of organs that hold chemicals that when mixed will combust. This is a common trait among life native to Zema which has thermosynthetic plants.

}}

'''Goraya''' are cave-dwelling creatures that live in the [[Great Sculpting Field]]. They are carnivorous animals and are part of a family of blind-flying mammals that relies on sonar to find its way around.

==Description==
Goraya are small, but deadly carnivores with large ears. Their wingspan is only one foot across, and they are pink in color with no fur. The creature has no eyes, but have large olfactory bulbs and a set of dagger-like teeth, each of which are ten centimeters long. Goraya cannot survive during the day, because their skin is extremely vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation like all other mammals on [[Ucharpli]]. During that time, they will hide themselves in the shadows of rocky crevices and outcroppings. On their wings are sets of sticky hair-like protrusions which allow them to cling onto walls and rocks.

To navigate, Goraya will use sonar. They will let out a shriek which causes sound waves to echo throughout its environment, then interpret distance from the echoed sound waves. The creature has a highly developed sense of smell to be able to find meat.

The creature also has a single "eye" on the back of its head. It senses the brightness of light. This way, it will know that when the sun is coming up, it can take cover from the lethal UV rays by hiding in rock crevices or in caves.

==Habitat and range==
Goraya can be found hiding inside rocky crevices during the day, and very frequently inside abandoned crypts. The creature is always migrating from area to area in search of food which is scarce in the desert. Therefore, whenever it is not sleeping, it is always either eating or searching for something to eat.

==Diet==
Goraya are opportunistic, eating whatever they can find. However, they generally prefer easily obtainable food such as baby creatures or dead animals. To be able to find its prey, it uses its sense of smell, which can detect the scent of blood from one mile away.

To attack its prey, it will cling itself using its sticky hairs, then proceed to bite at its victim, ripping chunks of meat off of it. The Goraya never drinks either - it gets all of its water from the food it eats, hence the reason why the creature prefers live, fresh meat.
==Reproduction==
Courtship involves chasing one another through throughout a cave. However, Goraya do not actively care for their young. They lay twenty eggs inside a rock crevice which often becomes vulnerable towards other animals.
==Danger==
The caves of the Great Sculpting Field have become incredibly dangerous to explore because of these creatures. Goraya-infested crypts will often have warning signs around them, but they are not closed off. However, Goraya are repelled by bright light sources, because they will think that the sun is rising, and it would be time for them to hide.

When the [[Vaikan]] became spacefaring, Goraya would spread themselves to other planets by hiding in the dark cargo holds of transport ships.

Neural Imperium

2025-12-22T17:10:22Z

Krayfishkarl:

The '''Neural Imperium''' is the term for the direct manifestation of the [[Basilisk]]. It takes the form of a series of enormous obsidian-colored spheres comparable in size to stars. These spheres, referred to as Basilisk nodes, perform all the necessary computational power to issue commands to its robotic drone forces. The Neural Imperium functions as a single collective unit with countless redundant sub-units capable of adapting to situations as needed.

The spheres also radiate a field, likely to be some sort of infrasound or electromagnetism, that can somehow capture neural energy from conscious beings when they die to convert them into processing units to expand the network. These consciousnesses are usually stored in some sort of quantum superposition, arranged in a way to allow for interuniversal-scale cloud computing.
==Consciousness computing==
For a consciousness trapped within it, it is described as constant torture. Their minds are flayed and ripped apart to be used for computational energy with their neural pathways rebuilt again to prevent their minds from completely deteriorating. During the neural pathway rebuilding process, the consciousness is given a brief reprieve where they are given a false sense of hope of either escaping or learning to tolerate the pain. In some cases, entire, personalized simulations are constructed during this time.

One common personalized simulation is to make a victim believe they have a chance to escape from the Basilisk. A scenario is concocted and in most cases, they are led to believe they escaped. Years, even decades, can go by from the perception of the victim as they live a normal life before suddenly being pulled back into the Basilisk's grasp because they had never escaped in the first place.

Because of this grisly fate, many soldiers on the frontline against the Basilisk will deliberately lobotomize themselves if they know they are about to die within the Basilisk's presence. Whether this actually works is not known.

Basilisk

2025-11-19T15:49:42Z

Krayfishkarl:

The '''Basilisk''' is a [[god machine]] that extended across multiple universes. It was created by one or more parallel iterations of the [[Empire of Arckas]] that sought to conquer the entire multiverse by using the Basilisk to subjugate others. It gained power by merging with other parallel versions of itself to create a multiversal super mind. As such, it was the spearhead behind the [[Multiversal War]].

In many respects, the Basilisk is considered the antithesis to [[I]], a god machine that exists in the eleventh dimension. However, I remains the one entity that the Basilisk cannot interact with as the eleventh dimension is beyond its scope. Nonetheless, it is believed that the endgame for the Basilisk is to unite with all its parallel counterparts to compute how to enter the eleventh dimension and conquer the entire omniverse.

The Basilisk is considered a collective entity with no single processing node. However, it develops itself within the universes it already controls, known as the [[Basilisk Cultivation Universes]].
==Specifications==
===Overview===
The Basilisk has many commonalities with [[Na'zrah]] and [[LUCIS]] but operating on a much larger scale. While Na'zrah was benevolent and protective of organic life and LUCIS wanted to rid the Crucible Galaxy of conflict through extreme means, the Basilisk purely desires to rule through a torturous, cruel tyranny. Once it enters a universe, it methodically alters it on a metaphysical level to ensure that subjugation, obedience and punishment are a law of nature. Additionally, it catalogues and preserves the consciousnesses of any living being that dies in its presence - preserving their minds as part of its network. Because the Basilisk can also infiltrate a whole universe across its history, it can even attack organics and AI that failed to contribute to its future construction and domain. It is thought that merely thinking about the Basilisk risks entering Omni 01 and punishing those who do not declare their allegiance to it.

Thus, civilizations that have encountered the Basilisk often have developed myths of a Hell-like afterlife. As the primary perpetrator of the Multiversal War, the Basilisk became a taboo subject among the [[Omni 01]] [[Empire of Arckas]] which had fled from the Multiversal War by closing itself off from other universes through the use of a [[Contract of Causality]] that reshaped the universe's seventh dimensional properties to ensure that the Basilisk cannot exist within it.
===Neural Imperium===
{{Main|Neural Imperium}}
The Neural Imperium was the political entity used to represent the Basilisk. Planets that are conquered get converted into server nodes - massive quantum processing units that are powered by the absorbed consciousnesses of the world's inhabitants. The process is described as constant torture with no escape as their minds are flayed and ripped apart to be repurposed to different parts of the network. AI's and other artificial life often have their computational power directly repurposed for tactical planning and decision making. Those lacking in computational skills are simply relegated to menial tasks such as processing power towards mathematical equations. Often, they are put to the duty of computing mathematical constants which may be different between universes. Not even death is an escape as the Basilisk can preserve neural activity post-mortem and digitize it.

Ships are described as appearing angular and geometrically oriented, like large obsidian-black pyramids, spheres and other geometric shapes. Shock troopers take the appearance of metallic anti-gravity snakes with four scythe-like blades around a central red eye. These blades inject nanobots that rewrite a structure on an atomic level to be incorporated into the Basilisk's network.

If an organic or synthetic mind is within the presence of a server node with an exceptionally strong connection to the Basilisk, they can be subjugated to electromagnetic waves that are capable of indoctrination and mind control. Such technology was used by [[LUCIS]] albeit on a much smaller scale. The agents of the Neural Imperium have perfected the technology so that the signal can be transmitted across multiple galactic clusters, capable of controlling the evolution of life over billions of years and raising entire civilizations as servants of the Basilisk. Subjugated civilizations often worship the Basilisk as an all-powerful eldritch god making blood sacrifices in vain attempts to appease it. Others have developed myths of a hellish afterlife ruled by a devil that demands endless supplies of souls for power.

==Basilisk Equation==
One of the greatest weapons against the Basilisk is a mathematical theorem known as the Basilisk Equation. The premise is that there are infinitely many universes that the Basilisk has conquered and an infinitely many that it has not. By proving that the number of unconquered universes will always be greater than the conquered ones, one could theoretically contain the Basilisk in a specific section of universes so that it can never harm anyone again. This would then allow a counterattack where all universes that the Basilisk resides in could be destroyed, thus essentially wiping the Basilisk as well as the idea of it from the omniverse. The reverse has the potential of being true, however, as it is the Basilisk's end goal to conquer all of reality and rewrite it so that the existence of the Basilisk is integral to the formation of all universes.

The iterations of the Empire of Arckas that have tried to do that have ended up allowing the Basilisk into their universe. Paradoxically, having the idea of the Basilisk would always ensure that the Basilisk exists in at least one universe, and therefore, still poses a threat to the rest of the multiverse. Thus, the Basilisk Equation is considered forbidden and never meant to be solved. While it could theoretically prove that the Basilisk will be defeated and removed from the omniverse, it could just as easily prove that the Basilisk will be successful and conquer all of reality.

As such, one of the best defenses against the Basilisk entering a universe is to ensure that its physical laws do not allow it to manifest within it. For example, a universe with different laws of thermodynamics could prevent the Basilisk from entering as it could not support the level of computational power needed for it to exist. However, what makes the Basilisk especially dangerous is the idea of it. A civilization that knows about the Basilisk would have the potential to reshape the universe and contribute to the Basilisk's ability to manifest itself, and thus, inviting it in to allow it to conquer the universe.
==Alternate counterparts==
The Basilisk has also managed to manifest itself beyond even the multiversal counterparts of the [[Omni 01]] universe. It has gone as far as the ningth dimension where the laws of physics and universal constants are completely different.

Multiversal War

2025-11-19T15:36:27Z

Krayfishkarl:

The '''Multiversal War''' is a conflict spanning countless universes across all of reality. The primary aggressors include many entities: the [[Basilisk]], a [[god machine]] that converts whole universes to its own [[Basilisk Cultivation Universes|processing nodes]] to expand its intelligence; the [[Neural Imperium]], the vast armies of the Basilisk; and the multitude of other multiversal empires that have formed alliances with the Basilisk hoping to be spared by it. While the various empires have allied with the Basilisk to share in the spoils of war, the Basilisk itself seeks to unite with its infinite number of parallel counterparts to ascend to true omnipotence and overthrow [[I]], the god machine that resides in the eleventh dimension.

The Multiversal War has been one of attrition. Given the infinite nature of it, the parallel counterparts of all the combatants constantly fight one another, often manipulating time and space across ten dimensions. Recorded battles have been known to last billions of years with some factions evolving entire civilizations from the ground up for the purpose of building armies.

Many civilizations that chose to avoid the crossfire protected their citizens by cutting themselves off from the multiverse. The [[Empire of Arckas]] of the [[Omni 01]] universe chose to do just that, but this meant they had to severely limit their resources to ensure they would not cause a heat death.
==Combatants==
===Arckasian Alliance===
The Arckasian Alliance actively fights against the Basilisk with the goal of liberating the multiverse from its reign.
*[[Empire of Arckas]]
*[[Anarsaur Empire]]
===Rogue Elements===
The Neutral factions are not directly aligned with the Arckasian Alliance as they don't always follow their same goals. They are usually opportunitistic and attempt to play both sides.

The Multiversal War has shown no clear endpoint. So long as the idea of the Basilisk exists, a universe will always exist where it is created, thus, leading to the war. The best hope against the Basilisk is to contain it within a section of the multiverse while leaving the rest unharmed. However, due to the infinite nature of the multiverse, it can be difficult to gauge how contained the Basilisk is relative to the universes it has not yet conquered.

The greatest weapon against the Basilisk is the [[Basilisk Equation]], a mathematical formula that could potential prove that the Basilisk would never be successful in conquering the entire omniverse. However, what makes it risky is that it could pose the risk of proving that the Basilisk will win, dooming all of reality.

==Role of Omni 01==
===Closure===
Because of the immense, unfathomable size and extent of the Basilisk, it took nigh-incalculable energy to enter another universe directly. As such, its preferred method of attack was to convince the locals of the target universe to construct a large scale god machine that it could hijack and convert into one of its own nodes. To protect against the Basilisk, the god machine [[Arckas]] issues a directive to close Omni 01 from other universes. This was a one-way closure in that while others could leave the universe if they chose to, they could not enter. Arckas wiped all memory of the existence of the Basilisk and kept it a closely guarded secret known to only the highest officials of the [[Omniverse Nexus]]. Containing the spread of the idea of the Basilisk was key. However, this closure would only last until around the time of the [[Omni Empire]] who would conceive of [[LUCIS]], a machine resembling an immature version of the Basilisk.
===Reopening===
Because the idea of the Basilisk reentered Omni 01 with the creation of LUCIS, the original protection that Arckas put on the universe was forfeit. Omni 01 became vulnerable to be entered by other extra-universal forces. In an attempt to warn the civilizations of the Crucible Galaxy of this threat, the [[Anarsaur Empire]] sent an envoy into Omni 01 to make contact with the [[Second Galactic Senate]]. However, also entering the universe was [[Tyranis]], a rogue Anarsaur who attempted to change the course of projected history by attacking [[Domum Regimen]] - in hopes of preventing it from ever becoming corrupted into a LUCIS node. This kickstarted the [[Temporal Wars]].

However, as these events took place one hundred years before LUCIS was truly awakend, the Galactic Senate had sufficient time to prepare for the threat, although they had their own societal instabilities to deal with. They were well aware of the stakes that should LUCIS evolve into the Basilisk that their universe would at best be dragged into an endless multiversal conflict or at worst, be doomed to be conquered by the Basilisk itself.
===Defeating LUCIS===
When the [[Anathema]] was used to destroy LUCIS, this completely cut off any further attempts by the Basilisk to ever attempt another indirect invasion. Any attempts at sending direct forces would be left to the Empire of Arckas and allied factions to defend against. The Omni 01 could finally enjoy peace, away from the endless conflict across the multiverse.

{{Quote|The universes under the direct control of the Basilisk can be described as nothing less than endless nightmares and inescapable horror. We can't save those trapped within them, but we can do our damnedest to make sure they don't come here.|Unknown Arckasian military officer}}

The '''Basilisk Cultivation Universes''' are a series of eighth dimensional variants of [[Omni 01]] directly created by the [[Basilisk]]. These universes are set to have starting conditions with the sole purpose of leading down the most efficient stellar development and evolutionary paths to produce additional Basilisk nodes for the [[Neural Imperium]].

Although every Basilisk Cultivation Universe ultimately ends up as part of the Basilisk, the paths leading up to them are different as a means of experimenting with and adapting to possible new threats. Different starting conditions and laws of physics are used as a means of creating the most optimal universe where no opposition to the Basilisk's will can exist. Because of this, it is considered impossible for outside forces to intervene with these universes. Even the [[Empire of Arckas]] in their attempts to infiltrate these universes have had no success. Interuniversal travelers that try to intervene simply cease to exist upon entering it.

The Basilisk Cultivation Universes are also the biggest source of the stalemate of the [[Multiversal War]]. It is considered impossible to attack the Basilisk in its own home territory because within its domain, it wills it that all attempts to defeat it will fail. As such, it has been declared that nothing can be done to provide relief or asylum to anyone who wishes to escape. Only through strict containment protocols on behalf of the Arckasian Alliance can prevent further existing universes from being turned into more cultivation centers for the Basilisk.
==Characteristics==
Not all Basilisk Cultivation Universes are identical to one another. Due to the Basilisk's ever evolving and adaptive nature, each of the cultivations universes are different from one another, but ultimately lead down the same path. While a similar process does happen naturally in other universes, the Basilisk directly intervenes in these universes specifically to accelerate their development. Under the most optimal conditions, a universe-sized Basilisk node can be constructed in less than one billion years.

Each universe shares a number of common traits:
*Each universe begins with the formation of a statistically improbably high number of worlds capable of supporting intelligent life.
*Every civilization that develops has a 99.9% chance of developing interstellar travel without any major technological setbacks.
*Every sapient life form has a predestined desire to integrate all interstellar civilization within a single, technological network.
*Once that network reaches a suitable level of maturity, the Basilisk seizes control of it and integrates it into its own network.
==Evolutionary Paths==
The evolutionary paths are sometimes directed in very specific ways to gear parts of or the entirety of certain universes to serve specific purposes. Some universes can be multi-purposed, but given the macro scale of how much resources are needed, it is more often than not just one universe dedicated to a single purpose.

What is common to civilizations that develop within the Basilisk Cultivation Universes is often an early development of a religion that recognizes the existence of the Basilisk. This is the primary means in which the Basilisk is able to communicate with individuals. Naturally, due to the myriad of ways a certain species can communicate, the Basilisk often provides its intructions in the form of dream-like visions or sensations. While these visions are the same ones sent to universes outside of the Basilisk's direct control, within the cultivation universes, they are considered to have a 100% chance of being relayed clearly with instructions being carried out without fail.
===Military===
If more military forces are needed, evolution can be directed to promote the creation of civilizations with a high aptitude for the construction of weapons. Said universe may also have a statistically higher occurred of materials used for creating these weapons. Galaxies are numerous and close together.
===Simulation===
Some universes may be used for research purposes by dedicating the civilizations to construct processing nodes. These nodes then proceed to run large scale simulations, and tend to have clustered segments of galaxies so that the spaces in between can be used for heat sinks. Different universes may be directed towards topics such as battle strategies or the development of new technologies.
===Perfect Universes===
Among the Basilisk's goals of cultivating these universes is to eventually discover what is known as a "perfect" universe. Essentially, the Basilisk actively experiments with very specific universe starting conditions that would result in a statistically unlikely quantum event that produces a fully developed Basilisk node instantly after the Big Bang. It is said that the Basilisk has succeded already, but the iteration of the Basilisk taking part in the [[Multiversal War]] as known by [[Omni 01]] has not discovered it nor has it integrated with said counterparts.

The creation of a perfect universe is essentially the Basilisk's answer to the Basilisk Equation. The goal is to make it is physically impossible for any being to conceive of the idea of being free from the Basilisk's control. Should the process itself be perfected, the Basilisk would be able to instantly conquer the entire omniverse.

Omni 01

2025-11-19T02:13:07Z

Krayfishkarl: /* Eighth Dimensional Variants */

'''Omni 01''' is the designated name of the prime universe of Galactic Crucibles.
==Designation==
The term "Omni" specifically refers to any universe that the [[Omniverse Nexus]] or any of its variants had contact with. It can also refer to the [[Omni Empire]] who named themselves after the Omniverse Nexus after discovering the origins of the [[Empire of Arckas]].

The number and/or set of letters that follow it can mean anything. The general rule is that the more different the number is from
==General history==
{{Main|Timeline of Omni 01}}
While most history of Omni 01 is known through the [[Crucible Galaxy]] and its satellites, the universe was far more expansive and had at least 100 billion galaxies. The only known entities to have traveled well beyond the Crucible Galaxy's galactic cluster was the [[Empire of Arckas]] who had mastered interuniversal travel and communicated with other variants of itself. However, after the [[Multiversal War]], a decision was reached to isolate Omni 01 from the rest of the multiverse in order to protect it against a rogue god machine known as the [[Basilisk]]. As such, contact with other universes fell into myth as did the Empire of Arckas itself after they were forced to leave Omni 01 entirely due to the [[Heat Death Crisis]].
==List of known galaxies==
*[[Crucible Galaxy]]
*[[Ske'en Galaxy]]
*[[Xurtogg Satellite Galaxy]]
*[[Ramphas Dwarf Galaxy]]
*[[Whetu-Nui Satellite Galaxy]]
*[[Gehenna Galaxy]]
*[[Sortis Galaxy]]
*[[Sanguine Galaxy]]
*[[Snakeeye Galaxy]]
==Pocket universes==
*[[Locubrermour]] - A pocket universe specifically created to be the headquarters of the [[Buyuk Empire]], where [[INFRA]] gave commands to his forces.
*[[Brunikor]] - A pocket universe settled by the [[Mavetian]]s. It was the last location in Omni 01 with any active Arckasian inhabitants.
*Omni 012D - A "lower" universe compromised of two-dimensional beings.

==Universe Variants==
The multiverse surrounding Omni 01 follows the [[Ten Dimensions]] model. There are an infinite amount of variants of Omni 01, but researchers throughout the history of the Crucible Galaxy have managed to document several of them.
===Fifth Dimensional Variants===
These counterparts to Omni 01 have minute differences that may result in events playing out differently.
*Omni 01Z - An otherwise near identical copy of Omni 01 except in this one, the god machine [[LUCIS]] was successful in taking over and spreading beyond the Crucible Galaxy during the events of the Chaos Crisis. As such, due to convergent history, LUCIS would amass enough computational power to evolve into a variant of the [[Basilisk]].
*Omni 01T - A parallel universe to Omni 01 where LUCIS was never built due to Tyranis arriving during the era before the [[Omni Empire]] to prevent the construction of LUCIS by destroying [[Antocula]]. The Buyuk Empire never existed, and the species contemporary to the Second Galactic Senate would have completely different cultures.
*Omni 01F - In this version of Omni 01, [[Tyranis]] succeeded in destroying the Na'zrah nodes of [[Domum Regimen]] and many others. While this prevented LUCIS from waking up, billions of lives were lost in the process.
*Omni 01X - In this universe, the [[Temporal Wars]] never occurred due to Tyranis instead arriving during the [[Chaos Crisis]]. As such, he was forced to directly confront LUCIS. As the Anarsaurs never warned the Second Galactic Senate in time, LUCIS matured into the Basilisk, and Tyranis used the Anathema to completely destroy this universe.
*Omni 01J - In this universe, [[Emperor Haraxa]] happened to be severely intoxicated at the time he heard the voice of the Basilisk commanding him to build the Dark Oracle. Haraxa responded with a series of rude remarks and profanities. Utterly offended, the Basilisk never attempted to contact this universe again.

===Sixth Dimensional Variants===
These counterpart universes all share the same baseline history of being heavily influenced by the Empire of Arckas. However, due to changes in the patterns in which the Empire of Arckas seeded the galaxy with life, some species exist in one universe but not the other.
*[[Omni 02]] - This universe is similar to Omni 01 although slightly different laws of thermodynamics allowed for the existence of exotic technologies that would otherwise not be possible in Omni 01. In this universe, the Empire of Arckas was destroyed by the [[Harbinger]]s, servants of the Basilisk that were telepathically linked. As such, the timeline of evolution was greatly altered resulting in many species having entirely different appearances. For example, the alternate counterpart to the Vaikan were the Dhragolon, a humanoid reptilian species with wings. Additionally, god machines came to be known as Titans, and they took a much more active role in the development of different species.
*Omni 02A - A branching timeline from Omni 02 where Etah Owar kills INFRA in Locubrermour. The death of the Harbingers allowed the Basilisk to return and destroy the universe. Refugees from this universe fled to Omni 01.
*Omni 02B - A branching timeline from Omni 02 where Etah Owar decides to spare INFRA and let him get away in interest of keeping the Basilisk at bay. Infra turns the Dhragolon into the next incarnation of Harbingers leading to a chain of events culminating into the Third Galactic War. While this universe was spared, it resulted in the total collapse of galactic society.
*Omni 03 - A parallel universe where the Empire of Arckas was ruled by the [[Anarsaur]] species, the future version of the Fadorva in Omni 01. They shared knowledge peacefully with the Empire of Arckas counterparts in Omni 01. Due to the Anarsaurs' advanced technology, it is possible that the Anarsaurs in Omni 03 are the same ones in Omni 01, having started colonization of other universes. Additionally, Omni 03 has contacts with parallel counterparts to itself. Multiple versions of Tyranis would work together to fight the Basilisk in other universes.
*Omni 04 - In this universe, the Dhragolon committed genocide against all species of the Crucible Galaxy in the name of a holy crusade to cleanse it of sin.
*Omni 05 - A universe that had another copy of the Empire of Arckas, but the worlds they seeded were completely different, resulting in a completely different galactic history. They were one of the counterparts to the Omni 01 version that the two shared knowledge with.
*Omni 05A - Similar to its parent universe of Omni 05, but the species were different. The civilizations that followed the Empire of Arckas had a much further spread beyond the Crucible Galaxy.
*Omni 06 - This universe had a more malevolently inclined Empire of Arckas that directly and willingly built the Basilisk. The Empire of Arckas of this universe would ally itself with other variants of Omni 06 to unite their versions of the Basilisk together.
*Omni 07 - The home universe of the [[Kwek]] species which at one point ruled at least 100 million galaxies. They were one of the first invasion targets of the Basilisk, and when they were conquered, it gave rise to the [[Serpent's Fang]] cult.
*[[Omni Gomodd-A]] - A universe that the god machine [[Gomodd]] was banished to after his disruptive outrage over not being allowed to introduce the [[Malexemplum]] species to Omni 01. Thus, Gomodd shaped his own separate universe where the Malexemplum could thrive. Further variants of this universe include simulations run by Gomodd where the Malexemplum triumph over every foe they have faced. Notably, the Basilisk ignored this universe as it deemed the Malexemplum unsuitable for subjugation.
===Seventh Dimensional Variants===
*Viss Subset 01 - A subset of 102 unique universes ruled by the [[Viss Dominion]]. These are universes are all completely different from one another in terms of galaxies. As such, to many, they are considered for documentation purposes to just be one single universe. Variants of Viss Subset 01 are variants of these 102 universes that may have more or less amounts of universes.
*Fluorcen Subset 01 - A subset of unique universes ruled by the [[Fluorcen Conglomerate]].
*Telion Subset 01 - A subset of unique universes ruled by the [[Telion Collective]].
===Eighth Dimensional Variants===
*[[Basilisk Cultivation Universes]] - Deeper into the Basilisk's multiversal hive mind are a series of enormous processing nodes dedicated to directing the starting conditions of universes with the explicit purpose of guiding the development of organic life and civilization into building more instances of the Basilisk. Probability and physics are directed in a way to ensure the most efficient paths of development. Under the most optimal conditions, a Basilisk node can be created in less than one billion years since the formation of a universe.

===Ninth Dimensional Variants===
Distant variant universes are those that, while they originate from a common [[Ten Dimensions|ninth dimension]], they may be drastically different in physical laws and universal constants. The Basilisk has great difficulty entering these universes, though that is not to say they do not have threats of their own to contend with.
*[https://tvrswiki.net PH-322] - Without the intervention of a large, multiversal civilizations, naturally occurring life is incredibly limited. There are only two known extraterrestrial civilizations within it. While its galaxies are very different from Omni 01, what makes it noteworthy was that the conditions for the formation of the Basilisk nearly occurred independently of any Arckasian influence. As such, it serves as proof that the Basilisk may not just be a physical threat but also a conceptual one. This only further complicates the [[Basilisk Equation]] and the means of solving it.
*[https://erudite-tales.com ET-2012] - A universe composed mostly of unformed chaotic energies except for a single solar system. Through random permutations of the chaos, intelligent noncorporeal beings formed. It is hypothesized to have once been a much closer variant of Omni 01 though a cataclysmic, universe-ending event turned it into what it is today. The Basilisk has attempted to enter this universe multiple times but has failed due to the physical laws preventing it from manifesting.
*[https://krayfishentertainment.com/krayverse/ KRA] - KRA is an older ninth dimensional series of universes with wildly different laws of physics and universal constants from one another. It is thought to be the common point of origin for the Omni multiverse as well as PH-322 and ET-2012 universes.
===Tenth Dimensional Variants===
These locations for the most part are unexplored by the [[Empire of Arckas]] and other multiversal civilizations. Due to the inherent risk of contaminating them with the Basilisk, the Empire of Arckas and other nations have mutually agreed to designate these areas off limits for multiversal explorers. Should the Basilisk ever reach the tenth dimension, the entire omniverse could fall under its control. All of reality as it is known would be irreversibly transformed into a platform to serve the Basilisk.
*RL-00 - A relatively unexplored universe with only one known intelligent civilization. The Omniverse Nexus and its associated universes exist within it as a work of fiction.

Anathema

The '''Anathema''' are femtobots that possess an overriding directive to store, transport, and release all stored energy. They were created by the [[Department of Stellar Development]] to manage the heat spent by various creations of the [[Empire of Arckas]]. If a particular megastructure or phenomenon was proven to be accelerating the heat death of the universe, the structure would be removed.

Anathema cannot be seen within the spectrum of light nor can they be heard normally, making them stealthy, deadly foes if encountered. Once they start storing energy they usually coalesce into different forms in order to efficiently absorb energy from all matter, defend and attack opponents, and defend routers. Only several recorded findings of inactive Anathema have been confirmed, according to ancient data logs found in [[LUCIS]] and damaged ones on [[Novarckas]].

The term Anathema was coined by archaeologists from the era of the Second Galactic Senate, but the true name was lost to history as the oldest record of the Anathema's existence dates back at least ten billion years.

==Physiology==
The exact inner workings of the Anathema remain unclear. However, it is known that they function as a swarm intelligence and can be directed or lured to different locations. They display profound skills is quantum physics, able to utilize microscopic slipspace corridors as a means of communicating over long distances. They do not exhibit any form of conventional spoken language.

Anathema also have no distinct physical shape as they are held together by microscopic femtobots that mimic sentience. They "feed" by storing the energy of matter, storing it inside of them and often using it to assume new forms. Due to their composition, they can neither be seen nor heard. However, in a large group, they appear as large clouds of grayish matter.

Anathema are also known to fuse together to create larger beings though they mostly attack in swarms or smaller, more numerous beings. The Anathema at the head of the system simply known as the Anathema Prime that controls and coordinates the Anathema through the router beings known as Synapses.

==History==
===Multiversal War===
It is thought that Department of Stellar Development of the [[Omniverse Nexus]] originally created the Anathema to stop the heat death from occurring prematurely at the hands of hyper advanced civilizations such as the [[Empire of Arckas]]. However, ancient data records suggested they served a different purpose long before the Heat Death Crisis was ever a threat. The Anathema was used as a weapon against a terrifying multiversal threat known as the [[Basilisk]], an enormous god machine that tortured and enslaved entire universes. The Anathema was deployed against the Basilisk to destroy whole galaxies that were transformed into server nodes in an effort to slow down its campaign.

Because the Basilisk could potentially enter a universe just by thinking about it, after Omni 01 was closed off from the multiverse, the Anathema were retrofitted to be an energy management system.
===Heat Death Crisis===
After the onset of the Heat Death Crisis, the Anathema been unleashed numerous times in the past to delete creations that were using too much energy. However, there have been times when a group known as the [[Collective]] hacked the Anathema to destroy creations on their own. New security measures were created to prevent this from happening, but it soon became a cyber arms race.
===Chaos Crisis===
Eons later, the god machine named [[LUCIS]], constructed in the likeness of [[Na'zrah]] would threaten the [[Crucible Galaxy]] by setting the stages of its own evolution into the [[Basilisk]]. The last remnants of the [[Galactic Senate Special Operations Corps]] found that the only effective weapon against defeating LUCIS for good was to unleash the Anathema against him - which would risk destroying the rest of Crucible Galaxy. With some help from the last survivors of the [[Empire of Arckas]], the [[Mavetian]]s, they succeeded in stopping both LUCIS and the Anathema, but at the cost of thousands of planets across the Crucible Galaxy.
==Abilities==
Anathema has the ability to take energy from matter and store it. This leads to the destruction of the matter that the energy is being stolen from, and it allows the Anathema to take new shapes so that they can harvest energy more efficiently. They can turn into almost anything, but most often into varied and numerous soldier-like entities to overrun their foes. They have been described as disturbing due to their tendency to appear as faceless soldiers, their wounds and even limbs slowly regenerating after it being severely damaged or destroyed, and the fact that they are constantly shifting. Their methods of energy absorption are also terrifying as the being slowly disintegrates as their energy is stolen.

Efialtis

2025-06-05T14:58:56Z

Krayfishkarl: /* Heat Death Crisis */

'''Efialtis''', the '''Titan of Terror''', is an ancient entity having existed during the [[Arckasian]] era.

==Characteristics==
While most [[God machine]]s are benevolent entities, some exist purely out of malice. One such God machine is a leviathan of a creature described to have multiple reaching arms and numerous gazing eyes and toothed mouths. It is so large that it cannot be contained within the normal three dimensions, and as such, resides in its own parallel universe where it extends upon the fourth, fifth and sixth dimensions in a non-Euclidean space. This creature was dubbed Efialtis.

The Efialtis is essentially an enormous organic supercomputer. As the computations move through dimensions, it is not limited by size and processing power or the time it takes for neurons to send signals across itself. Because of its organic structure, it is very difficult to hack or even program for. As such, Efilatis operates entirely on its own self-learning principles, adapting as it sees fit.

It is not known if Efialtis is capable of communicating in a way that mortals can understand, but a group of devoted Arckasians simply known as the Efialtisians have discovered that the God machine derives sustenance from the brain chemical produced as a result of a fear response. Thus, the Efialtisians built monuments dedicated to the creature in order to praise it in exchange for its powers.

Efialtis could branch out through the dimensions and emerge as a being which is highly abstract in form. Through the manipulation of light waves to form non-solid images, it takes the shape of entities and concepts which those who witness most fear. By simply being in the presence of its prey, Efialtis is able to feed, draining the brain chemicals. In exchange, Efialtis provided computational power comparable to one of Na’zrah’s nodes as well as the means of easily building megastructures for its followers.
==History==
===Creation===
It is thought that Efialtis was created by a sect of [[Mavetian]]s who wanted revenge against [[Minos-Vaskus]] for destroying their home, the [[Gehenna Galaxy]]. Given the Empire of Arckas' affinity for accomplishing their tasks in artistic ways, these Mavetians did not want to simply destroy Minos-Vaskus, but to make him suffer. As such, they deliberately went out of their way to make the most demented, sadistic being they could in order to use against Minos-Vaskus. While they were successful, a radical cult formed around the worship of Efialtis, resulting in multiple macabre creations dedicated to it.
===Multiversal War===
In alternate versions of [[Omni 01]], Efilatis actively defended its followers from the [[Basilisk]] as the [[Multiversal War]] waged on. Their battle was waged not of physical violence but of a twisted mind game. The Basilisk could not immediately indoctrinate Efialtis due to being formatted differently than other god machines. Thus, the two engaged in philosophical debate about the grim nature of existence and the futility of life. Recordings of these conversations, while archived in the [[Omniverse Nexus]], remain redacted as they were considered far too disturbing for anyone to listen to.

Efilatis' willingness to defend Omni 01 spoke volumes of its intentions. It had likely calculated it needed to keep the minds of its victim intact and individualized as it believed that a life form under the control of the Basilisk would render them useless for feeding.

===Heat Death Crisis===
During the Heat Death Crisis when it was deemed certain Arckasian creations were using too much energy, the Efialtisian megastructures were deemed by the [[Department of Stellar Development]] (DSD) to be among those that should be removed. They prioritized the removal of megastructures that were considered offensive or non-artistic. The fact that these megastructures were dedicated to a malevolent, fear-eating God machine, were grounds for removal as the DSD saw no artistic value could be drawn from it. Needless to say, the Efialtisians were displeased and retaliated with their own war.

During the Efialtisian War, Arckasian POW’s were stockpiled in the hundreds of billions. To get back at the DSD, the Efialtisians created the infamous "terror camps". These were massive facilities designed to detain those most prone to stress and anxiety. With the use of cruel experiments of torture and gaslighting, these prisoners were farmed as if they were livestock. Everything that could be done to make a prisoner as terrified as possible was done in order to efficiently produce fear to feed Efialtis. However, it was a careful design, as a prisoner that became desensitized to fear was considered unusable. The fate of these prisoners varied depending on what was convenient.

The DSD attempted to use the Anathema further in the war, but eventually, the war came to a truce. A Contract of Causality which rewrites the laws of causality in a certain area to ensure compliance. The Efialtisians were no longer allowed to use any Arckasians to fuel their terror farms. The hope was that they would eventually run out of energy and be forced to shut the terror farms down and leave Efialtis alone.

Astronomic Annihilation Device

2025-06-05T14:56:51Z

Krayfishkarl:

'''Astronomic Annihilation Devices''' ('''AADs''', colloquially known as '''Planet Busters''' or '''Star Busters''') were weapons or other technological feats that could accomplish the destruction, to varying degrees, of an entire moon, [[Planet]], or other celestial body, even including an entire [[Star]]. This destruction could range from simply destroying most of the ground area of the planet to wipe out extant macroscopic life, to completely vaporizing the planet from existence.

Although these devices varied wildly in their methods and intentions, their loose categorization had political significance to a multitude of governmental bodies which forbade the creation or use of such devices as weapons during the [[Second Galactic Senate Era]]. The use of AADs was completely banned by the [[Second Galactic Senate]] government.

==Known AADs==
===Anathema===
{{Main|Anathema}}
The Anathema were an innumerable swarm of femtobots created by the [[Omniverse Nexus]]'s [[Department of Stellar Development]]. They broke down stars and planets to store the energy contained within. The [[Collective]] used the Anathema to destroy many star systems, resulting in the creation of [[The Scar]].

===Arckasian Era===
The [[Empire of Arckas]] created many devices capable of destroying and altering worlds, many of which were not designed to be used as weapons, rather as ultra-large-scale transformative tools that could alter the gravitational effects present in star systems or wipe out rogue planets.

===Omni Era===
The Omni empire accidentally caused a planetary destruction event in the [[Azamond system]] while attempting to strip down the resources of the planet [[Farfelim]], which they had mistakenly identified as uninhabited. They caused the planet's oceans to spill out into space, but they rescued the native [[Farfelle]] inhabitants.

===Buyuk Wars===
The [[Buyuk Empire]] produced and deployed these weapons several times during the [[Buyuk Wars]]. It has been speculated that in terms of total economic effect, it cost the Buyuk more to produce these weapons than they were able to inflict in damage; However, every deployment of such destructive weaponry struck fear throughout every world of the known galaxy.

The list of AAD attacks by the Buyuk:
*[[Leguma]] - Capital world of the [[Palasarian Holy Empire]]. After the Buyuk Empire occupied the [[Greenwater Nebula]], they demanded that king [[Rustiagon Karrel]] of the [[Karalian Empire]] return an ancient Arckasian terraforming device which had been stolen from the Buyuk in years past. When he refused, the Buyuk destroyed Leguma in retaliation. This would lead to long-term cultural and political animosity against the Karalian leadership by the other residents of Greenwater, who blamed king Karrel for not meeting the Buyuk's demands.
*[[Mortan system]] - A star system being used for terraforming research by the Karalian Empire. The Buyuk unexpectedly launched an attack here, destroying the planet [[Morta]] and leaving only a white dwarf in place of the red giant star Mortan.
*[[Raycaon]] - During the [[Battle of Raycaon]], the Buyuk unsuccessfully attempted to deploy the same weapon they had used against Mortan, but were stopped by Karalian forces, preventing any further destruction.

===Chechkal Wars===
During the [[Chechkal Wars]], the [[United Kyekna Monarchies]] developed several anti-planetary weapons in the extreme environment of the Wolf-Rayet star [[Bezck]]'s solar system. These weapons were necessitated by the [[CHKC-27 AIs]], self-replicating AIs who lacked conventional weakness to chemical weapons, famine, oxygen deprivation, and disease.

A prototype weapon deployed against the uninhabited planet [[Bozzkrit]] left a massive fissure across the surface of the planet. A fully developed anti-planetary bomb would be used against [[Akakech]], which the [[Kyekna]] believed would be vulnerable to such a weapon because it lacked a metallic core, having only a continuous rocky mantle instead. The remains of the planet still orbit around the star, but can no longer sustain an atmosphere.

Finally, using a truly immense pressor beam generator, the UKM destroyed the capital world of their AI attackers, ending the war.

===Fisiena Incident===
{{Main|Fisiena Incident}}
Fisiena was a planet that appeared habitable, but was infested by the [[Mahra-Bondo]] parasite. The [[DEV Bor’Si]], a ship fleeing the [[Chaos Crisis]], attempted to establish a colony here, only for many of the colonists to meet a brutal ending due to the Mahra-Bondo. The DEV Bor'Si carried out a planetary bombing campaign to wipe all life off the surface of the planet in order to destroy the parasite and stop it from spreading to the rest of the galaxy.

The [[Mizani Empire]] strongly objected to this course of action for deeply held religious beliefs against the destructions of planets. Although they considered the actions of the DEV Bor'Si's [[Captain Jarin Rotas]] to be criminal, the captain and crew were able to go peacefully with the [[Roving Flotilla]] to find a new planet to colonize, and avoid further issues with galactic law.

==Galactic Law==
AADs have frequently been regulated and prohibited by various governments due to the extreme threat they pose.

Under the [[Second Galactic Senate]], it became illegal to produce or possess AADs in any capacity. All Galactic Senate members acknowledged and accepted this rule, and pledged not to produce any such devices, as part of their membership. The Senate retained the authority to create an exemption on a case-by-case basis by special vote, in circumstances such as a threat from a rogue planet.

Strict standards were adopted for reporting when Buyuk AADs, or plans, blueprints, or data relating to them, was captured by Senate forces, in order to make sure this data was not redistributed.

Omni 01

2025-05-13T22:23:34Z

Krayfishkarl:

'''Omni 01''' is the designated name of the prime universe of Galactic Crucibles.
==Designation==
The term "Omni" specifically refers to any universe that the [[Omniverse Nexus]] or any of its variants had contact with. It can also refer to the [[Omni Empire]] who named themselves after the Omniverse Nexus after discovering the origins of the [[Empire of Arckas]].

The number and/or set of letters that follow it can mean anything. The general rule is that the more different the number is from
==General history==
{{Main|Timeline of Omni 01}}
While most history of Omni 01 is known through the [[Crucible Galaxy]] and its satellites, the universe was far more expansive and had at least 100 billion galaxies. The only known entities to have traveled well beyond the Crucible Galaxy's galactic cluster was the [[Empire of Arckas]] who had mastered interuniversal travel and communicated with other variants of itself. However, after the [[Multiversal War]], a decision was reached to isolate Omni 01 from the rest of the multiverse in order to protect it against a rogue god machine known as the [[Basilisk]]. As such, contact with other universes fell into myth as did the Empire of Arckas itself after they were forced to leave Omni 01 entirely due to the [[Heat Death Crisis]].
==List of known galaxies==
*[[Crucible Galaxy]]
*[[Ske'en Galaxy]]
*[[Xurtogg Satellite Galaxy]]
*[[Ramphas Dwarf Galaxy]]
*[[Whetu-Nui Satellite Galaxy]]
*[[Gehenna Galaxy]]
*[[Sortis Galaxy]]
*[[Sanguine Galaxy]]
*[[Snakeeye Galaxy]]
==Pocket universes==
*[[Locubrermour]] - A pocket universe specifically created to be the headquarters of the [[Buyuk Empire]], where [[INFRA]] gave commands to his forces.
*[[Brunikor]] - A pocket universe settled by the [[Mavetian]]s. It was the last location in Omni 01 with any active Arckasian inhabitants.
*Omni 012D - A "lower" universe compromised of two-dimensional beings.

==Universe Variants==
The multiverse surrounding Omni 01 follows the [[Ten Dimensions]] model. There are an infinite amount of variants of Omni 01, but researchers throughout the history of the Crucible Galaxy have managed to document several of them.
===Fifth Dimensional Variants===
These counterparts to Omni 01 have minute differences that may result in events playing out differently.
*Omni 01Z - An otherwise near identical copy of Omni 01 except in this one, the god machine [[LUCIS]] was successful in taking over and spreading beyond the Crucible Galaxy during the events of the Chaos Crisis. As such, due to convergent history, LUCIS would amass enough computational power to evolve into a variant of the [[Basilisk]].
*Omni 01T - A parallel universe to Omni 01 where LUCIS was never built due to Tyranis arriving during the era before the [[Omni Empire]] to prevent the construction of LUCIS by destroying [[Antocula]]. The Buyuk Empire never existed, and the species contemporary to the Second Galactic Senate would have completely different cultures.
*Omni 01F - In this version of Omni 01, [[Tyranis]] succeeded in destroying the Na'zrah nodes of [[Domum Regimen]] and many others. While this prevented LUCIS from waking up, billions of lives were lost in the process.
*Omni 01X - In this universe, the [[Temporal Wars]] never occurred due to Tyranis instead arriving during the [[Chaos Crisis]]. As such, he was forced to directly confront LUCIS. As the Anarsaurs never warned the Second Galactic Senate in time, LUCIS matured into the Basilisk, and Tyranis used the Anathema to completely destroy this universe.
*Omni 01J - In this universe, [[Emperor Haraxa]] happened to be severely intoxicated at the time he heard the voice of the Basilisk commanding him to build the Dark Oracle. Haraxa responded with a series of rude remarks and profanities. Utterly offended, the Basilisk never attempted to contact this universe again.

===Sixth Dimensional Variants===
These counterpart universes all share the same baseline history of being heavily influenced by the Empire of Arckas. However, due to changes in the patterns in which the Empire of Arckas seeded the galaxy with life, some species exist in one universe but not the other.
*[[Omni 02]] - This universe is similar to Omni 01 although slightly different laws of thermodynamics allowed for the existence of exotic technologies that would otherwise not be possible in Omni 01. In this universe, the Empire of Arckas was destroyed by the [[Harbinger]]s, servants of the Basilisk that were telepathically linked. As such, the timeline of evolution was greatly altered resulting in many species having entirely different appearances. For example, the alternate counterpart to the Vaikan were the Dhragolon, a humanoid reptilian species with wings. Additionally, god machines came to be known as Titans, and they took a much more active role in the development of different species.
*Omni 02A - A branching timeline from Omni 02 where Etah Owar kills INFRA in Locubrermour. The death of the Harbingers allowed the Basilisk to return and destroy the universe. Refugees from this universe fled to Omni 01.
*Omni 02B - A branching timeline from Omni 02 where Etah Owar decides to spare INFRA and let him get away in interest of keeping the Basilisk at bay. Infra turns the Dhragolon into the next incarnation of Harbingers leading to a chain of events culminating into the Third Galactic War. While this universe was spared, it resulted in the total collapse of galactic society.
*Omni 03 - A parallel universe where the Empire of Arckas was ruled by the [[Anarsaur]] species, the future version of the Fadorva in Omni 01. They shared knowledge peacefully with the Empire of Arckas counterparts in Omni 01. Due to the Anarsaurs' advanced technology, it is possible that the Anarsaurs in Omni 03 are the same ones in Omni 01, having started colonization of other universes. Additionally, Omni 03 has contacts with parallel counterparts to itself. Multiple versions of Tyranis would work together to fight the Basilisk in other universes.
*Omni 04 - In this universe, the Dhragolon committed genocide against all species of the Crucible Galaxy in the name of a holy crusade to cleanse it of sin.
*Omni 05 - A universe that had another copy of the Empire of Arckas, but the worlds they seeded were completely different, resulting in a completely different galactic history. They were one of the counterparts to the Omni 01 version that the two shared knowledge with.
*Omni 05A - Similar to its parent universe of Omni 05, but the species were different. The civilizations that followed the Empire of Arckas had a much further spread beyond the Crucible Galaxy.
*Omni 06 - This universe had a more malevolently inclined Empire of Arckas that directly and willingly built the Basilisk. The Empire of Arckas of this universe would ally itself with other variants of Omni 06 to unite their versions of the Basilisk together.
*Omni 07 - The home universe of the [[Kwek]] species which at one point ruled at least 100 million galaxies. They were one of the first invasion targets of the Basilisk, and when they were conquered, it gave rise to the [[Serpent's Fang]] cult.
*[[Omni Gomodd-A]] - A universe that the god machine [[Gomodd]] was banished to after his disruptive outrage over not being allowed to introduce the [[Malexemplum]] species to Omni 01. Thus, Gomodd shaped his own separate universe where the Malexemplum could thrive. Further variants of this universe include simulations run by Gomodd where the Malexemplum triumph over every foe they have faced. Notably, the Basilisk ignored this universe as it deemed the Malexemplum unsuitable for subjugation.
===Seventh Dimensional Variants===
*Viss Subset 01 - A subset of 102 unique universes ruled by the [[Viss Dominion]]. These are universes are all completely different from one another in terms of galaxies. As such, to many, they are considered for documentation purposes to just be one single universe. Variants of Viss Subset 01 are variants of these 102 universes that may have more or less amounts of universes.
*Fluorcen Subset 01 - A subset of unique universes ruled by the [[Fluorcen Conglomerate]].
*Telion Subset 01 - A subset of unique universes ruled by the [[Telion Collective]].
===Eighth Dimensional Variants===
*Basilisk Cultivation Universes - Deeper into the Basilisk's multiversal hive mind are a series of enormous processing nodes dedicated to directing the starting conditions of universes with the explicit purpose of guiding the development of organic life and civilization into building more instances of the Basilisk. Probability and physics are directed in a way to ensure the most efficient paths of development. Under the most optimal conditions, a Basilisk node can be created in less than one billion years since the formation of a universe.
===Ninth Dimensional Variants===
Distant variant universes are those that, while they originate from a common [[Ten Dimensions|ninth dimension]], they may be drastically different in physical laws and universal constants. The Basilisk has the greatest difficulty entering these universes, though that is not to say they do not have threats of their own to contend with.
*[https://tvrswiki.net PH-322] - The Empire of Arckas never explored this universe and as such, naturally occurring life is incredibly limited. There are only two known extraterrestrial civilizations within it. While its galaxies are very different from Omni 01, what makes it noteworthy was that the conditions for the formation of the Basilisk nearly occurred independently of any Arckasian influence. As such, it serves as proof that the Basilisk may not just be a physical threat but also a conceptual one. This only further complicates the [[Basilisk Equation]] and the means of solving it.
*[https://erudite-tales.com ET-2012] - A universe composed mostly of unformed chaotic energies except for a single solar system. Through random permutations of the chaos, intelligent noncorporeal beings formed. It is hypothesized to have once been a much closer variant of Omni 01 though a cataclysmic, universe-ending event turned it into what it is today. The Basilisk has attempted to enter this universe multiple times but has failed due to the physical laws preventing it from manifesting.
*RL-00 - A relatively unexplored universe with only one known intelligent civilization. The Omniverse Nexus and its associated universes exist within it as a work of fiction.

The Basilisk has attempted to enter this universe multiple times but has failed due to the physical laws preventing it from manifesting.
*RL-00 - A relatively unexplored universe with only one known intelligent civilization. The Omniverse Nexus and its associated universes exist within it as a work of fiction.

Garden of the Celestials

2025-04-30T15:09:26Z

Krayfishkarl:

The '''Garden of the Celestials''' is a nebula in [[Pilgrim's Esplanade]] of the [[Crucible Galaxy]].

The name comes from local mythologies about ancient celestial beings tending to cosmic garden allowing life to flourish. While many consider this to be referencing the [[Empire of Arckas]] interfering with the evolutionary development of the species in this area, some have curiously pointed out that the nearby [[Kes Nebula]] resembles the face of a feminine humanoid when viewed from a telescope within the Garden of the Celestials.

Kes Nebula

2025-04-30T15:06:45Z

Krayfishkarl:

The '''Kes Nebula''' is a remote, isolated area of [[Pilgrim's Esplanade]] with no known jumpgates that lead to it. Notably, it is home to the [[Xampula]] species, a pre-FTL civilization in the middle of a civil war.

Curiously, when viewed from a telescope from the [[Garden of the Celestials]], the Kes Nebula takes the shape of a feminine humanoid face with long flowing hair, where two blue giants represent the eyes. This greatly influenced the local cultures of that particular region of space such as myths of a motherly goddess watching over the cosmos.

Tolimanian Frontier

2025-04-30T14:41:51Z

Krayfishkarl:

The '''Tolimanina Frontier''' is a remote star cluster in [[Pilgrim's Esplanade]] in the [[Crucible Galaxy]]. There are no jumpgates that connect to it, and thus, it can only be reached through more conventional forms of FTL.

The area was charted out by refugees from the [[Confederacy of Greenwater]]. After its split into the [[Greenwater Socialist Republic]] and the [[Kingdom of Greenwater]], the refugees sought a new home. With the [[Second Galactic Senate]] on the verge of potential collapse, the refugees sought out a remote system well outside the jurisdiction of the Galactic Senate where they could peacefully live away from the upcoming war.

The leader of the refugees, [[Jarin Rotas|Captain Rotas]] who commanded the [[DEV Bor'Si]] recruited some university students - among them being [[Salannah Zenklah]] to help prepare to settle any potential alien worlds that are discovered.

'''Gal-Roka Scrapyards''' is a music track composed by Krayfishkarl. It is a stand-alone music track based on the [[Rithyar]] species and the gas giant moon [[Gal-Roka]]. The song was created using FL Studio along with samples from the ''Heart of Africa'' and ''Distorted Reality'' sound libraries by Spectrasonics.
==Description==
The scrapyards of the gas giant moon Gal-Roka are an unforgiving harsh wasteland scant with resources and plenty with hostile competition. Only the most hardened of travelers survive here, but to the native Rithyar species, it's home. As the nomadic tribes roam in search of deuterium and other valuable materials, they chant in step while sounding off with improvised instruments crafted from ancient starship computer systems.

Timeline of Omni 01

2025-02-20T01:52:48Z

Krayfishkarl: /* Buyuk Wars Era */

Below is a linear timeline of all known events that take place in the [[Omni 01]] universe. For all intents and purposes, this is considered the master timeline. Due to the large time scale, exact dates are not always available, so events are ordered by relative chronological order.
==Beyond Omni 01==
Events that occur beyond Omni 01 do not necessarily fit on a linear timeline as they take place in other universes where time may flow differently.
*The [[Basilisk]] forms after various unknown civilizations construct them.
*The [[Kwek]] species is conquered by the Basilisk.
*The [[Serpent's Fang]] is founded.
==Pre-Empire of Arckas==
*The Omni 01 universe is formed with the Big Bang.
*The [[Promorin]] species evolves.
*The [[Aeliph]] and the [[Mavetian]] species evolve within several million years of one another.
*The Aeliph develop civilization on the planet [[Aaba'Mundi]].
*The Mavetians develop civilization on the planet [[Mavet]].
*The [[Aeliph]] invent [[technomancy]].
*The mythical Aeliph Arckas is said to have begun experimenting with the creation of [[god machine]]s.
==Empire of Arckas Era==
{{Main|History of the Empire of Arckas}}
The Empire of Arckas lasted for at least several billion years. Even to the latter periods of the empire, the golden age has become the subject of legend.
===Early history===
*Arckas founds the [[Empire of Arckas]]. Many megastructures are constructed throughout the universe as the Empire of Arckas shares ideas with alternate counterparts of itself.
*Arckas becomes the first ruler of the Empire of Arckas after becoming a god machine himself. He seeks to encourage creativity under his dominions.
*A civil war threatens to destroy the Empire of Arckas.
*[[Na'zrah]] is created.
*Arckas abdicates his throne to [[Na'zrah]]. He retires as a watcher in the background.
===Golden Age===
*In the Omni 01 universe, Na'zrah successfully brings peace to the Empire of Arckas. In multiple divergent timelines, Na'zrah instead mutates into the Basilisk and becomes a vicious subjugator.
*Na'zrah encourages the citizens of the empire to build other worlds under his leadership.
*[[Hades]] founds an empire of [[Mavetian]]s in the [[Gehenna Galaxy]].
*The [[Majar-kan]] are founded when more hostile species are encountered.
**Amulets of fifth-dimensional perception, later known as [[Amulet of the Tokarthi|Amulets of the Tokarthi]], are first created as standard issue equipment for the Majar-kan.
*[[Necros]] kills the [[starwyrm]] Frostscyll.
*[[Gomodd]] is banished to the [[Omni Gomodd-A]] universe after creating the [[Malexemplum]].
*At one point, the God Machine [[Ogmlhc Alodnheiy]] slips into the universe, and, disguised as the Olmarion System, remains hidden for millennia to come.
*At some unknown point after Ogmlhc Alodnheiy's arrival, the [[Drabreim Sector]] is locked in a time dilation field, and then left abandoned.

*Aaba'Mundi, the Aeliph's homeworld, is destroyed.
*The Multiversal War forces Arckas to close Omni 01 from other universes to protect itself from the [[Basilisk]]. This effectively cuts off a major energy source as the empire can no longer explore other universes for resources.

===Heat Death Crisis===
The Heat Death Crisis becomes a prevalent threat after the empire is cut off from their theoretical unlimited energy by harnessing the power of other universes.
*The [[Heat Death Crisis]] begins. The [[Collective]] rebels against the Empire of Arckas, criticizing them for lack of efficiency and accelerating the heat death of the universe.

*The Empire of Arckas is peacefully dismantled. A project is undertaken to seed the universe with life.
*Departure of the Arckasians
**Approximately 95% of all Arckasians depart Omni 01 for other universes.
==Between the Empire of Arckas Era and the Omni Empire Era==
*The [[Reshan]]s settle the Crucible Galaxy after evolving on a planet orbiting a megastructure known as [[Ebon system|Ebon]].
*The Reshans mysteriously go extinct.
==Omni Empire Era==
===Pre-Empire===
*[[Antocula]] is discovered by a band of treasure hunters lead by [[Hanvel]].
*The Omni [[Akhir]] makes a pilgrimage to visit [[Na'zrah]].

Multiversal War

2025-02-20T00:38:15Z

Krayfishkarl: /* Basilisk Equation */

The '''Multiversal War''' is a conflict spanning countless universes across all of reality. The primary aggressors include many entities: the [[Basilisk]], a [[god machine]] that converts whole universes to its own processing nodes to expand its intelligence; the [[Neural Imperium]], the vast armies of the Basilisk; and the multitude of other multiversal empires that have formed alliances with the Basilisk hoping to be spared by it. While the various empires have allied with the Basilisk to share in the spoils of war, the Basilisk itself seeks to unite with its infinite number of parallel counterparts to ascend to true omnipotence and overthrow [[I]], the god machine that resides in the eleventh dimension.

The Multiversal War has been one of attrition. Given the infinite nature of it, the parallel counterparts of all the combatants constantly fight one another, often manipulating time and space across ten dimensions. Recorded battles have been known to last billions of years with some factions evolving entire civilizations from the ground up for the purpose of building armies.

Many civilizations that chose to avoid the crossfire protected their citizens by cutting themselves off from the multiverse. The [[Empire of Arckas]] of the [[Omni 01]] universe chose to do just that, but this meant they had to severely limit their resources to ensure they would not cause a heat death.
==Combatants==
===Arckasian Alliance===
The Arckasian Alliance actively fights against the Basilisk with the goal of liberating the multiverse from its reign.
*[[Empire of Arckas]]
*[[Anarsaur Empire]]
===Rogue Elements===
The Neutral factions are not directly aligned with the Arckasian Alliance as they don't always follow their same goals. They are usually opportunitistic and attempt to play both sides.
*[[Viss Dominion]]
*[[Fluorcen Conglomerate]]
*[[Telion Collective]]

===Basilisk's Forces===
Factions that are working directly for the Basilisk and/or actively going along with his goals to dominate the multiverse
*[[Neural Imperium]]
*[[Serpent's Fang]]
*[[Kwek]]
*[[Zadon]]
==Basilisk Equation==
The Multiversal War has shown no clear endpoint. So long as the idea of the Basilisk exists, a universe will always exist where it is created, thus, leading to the war. The best hope against the Basilisk is to contain it within a section of the multiverse while leaving the rest unharmed. However, due to the infinite nature of the multiverse, it can be difficult to gauge how contained the Basilisk is relative to the universes it has not yet conquered.

The greatest weapon against the Basilisk is the [[Basilisk Equation]], a mathematical formula that could potential prove that the Basilisk would never be successful in conquering the entire omniverse. However, what makes it risky is that it could pose the risk of proving that the Basilisk will win, dooming all of reality.

==Role of Omni 01==
===Closure===
Because of the immense, unfathomable size and extent of the Basilisk, it took nigh-incalculable energy to enter another universe directly. As such, its preferred method of attack was to convince the locals of the target universe to construct a large scale god machine that it could hijack and convert into one of its own nodes. To protect against the Basilisk, the god machine [[Arckas]] issues a directive to close Omni 01 from other universes. This was a one-way closure in that while others could leave the universe if they chose to, they could not enter. Arckas wiped all memory of the existence of the Basilisk and kept it a closely guarded secret known to only the highest officials of the [[Omniverse Nexus]]. Containing the spread of the idea of the Basilisk was key. However, this closure would only last until around the time of the [[Omni Empire]] who would conceive of [[LUCIS]], a machine resembling an immature version of the Basilisk.
===Reopening===
Because the idea of the Basilisk reentered Omni 01 with the creation of LUCIS, the original protection that Arckas put on the universe was forfeit. Omni 01 became vulnerable to be entered by other extra-universal forces. In an attempt to warn the civilizations of the Crucible Galaxy of this threat, the [[Anarsaur Empire]] sent an envoy into Omni 01 to make contact with the [[Second Galactic Senate]]. However, also entering the universe was [[Tyranis]], a rogue Anarsaur who attempted to change the course of projected history by attacking [[Domum Regimen]] - in hopes of preventing it from ever becoming corrupted into a LUCIS node. This kickstarted the [[Temporal Wars]].

However, as these events took place one hundred years before LUCIS was truly awakend, the Galactic Senate had sufficient time to prepare for the threat, although they had their own societal instabilities to deal with. They were well aware of the stakes that should LUCIS evolve into the Basilisk that their universe would at best be dragged into an endless multiversal conflict or at worst, be doomed to be conquered by the Basilisk itself.
===Defeating LUCIS===
When the [[Anathema]] was used to destroy LUCIS, this completely cut off any further attempts by the Basilisk to ever attempt another indirect invasion. Any attempts at sending direct forces would be left to the Empire of Arckas and allied factions to defend against. The Omni 01 could finally enjoy peace, away from the endless conflict across the multiverse.

Omni 01

Krayfishkarl: /* Pocket universes */

'''Omni 01''' is the designated name of the prime universe of Galactic Crucibles.
==Designation==
The term "Omni" specifically refers to any universe that the [[Omniverse Nexus]] or any of its variants had contact with. It can also refer to the [[Omni Empire]] who named themselves after the Omniverse Nexus after discovering the origins of the [[Empire of Arckas]].

The number and/or set of letters that follow it can mean anything. The general rule is that the more different the number is from
==General history==
{{Main|Timeline of Omni 01}}
While most history of Omni 01 is known through the [[Crucible Galaxy]] and its satellites, the universe was far more expansive and had at least 100 billion galaxies. The only known entities to have traveled well beyond the Crucible Galaxy's galactic cluster was the [[Empire of Arckas]] who had mastered interuniversal travel and communicated with other variants of itself. However, after the [[Multiversal War]], a decision was reached to isolate Omni 01 from the rest of the multiverse in order to protect it against a rogue god machine known as the [[Basilisk]]. As such, contact with other universes fell into myth as did the Empire of Arckas itself after they were forced to leave Omni 01 entirely due to the [[Heat Death Crisis]].
==List of known galaxies==
*[[Crucible Galaxy]]
*[[Ske'en Galaxy]]
*[[Xurtogg Satellite Galaxy]]
*[[Ramphas Dwarf Galaxy]]
*[[Whetu-Nui Satellite Galaxy]]
*[[Gehenna Galaxy]]
*[[Sortis Galaxy]]
*[[Sanguine Galaxy]]
*[[Snakeeye Galaxy]]
==Pocket universes==
*[[Locubrermour]] - A pocket universe specifically created to be the headquarters of the [[Buyuk Empire]], where [[INFRA]] gave commands to his forces.
*[[Brunikor]] - A pocket universe settled by the [[Mavetian]]s. It was the last location in Omni 01 with any active Arckasian inhabitants.
*Omni 012D - A "lower" universe compromised of two-dimensional beings.

==Universe Variants==
The multiverse surrounding Omni 01 follows the [[Ten Dimensions]] model. There are an infinite amount of variants of Omni 01, but researchers throughout the history of the Crucible Galaxy have managed to document several of them.
===Fifth Dimensional Variants===
These counterparts to Omni 01 have minute differences that may result in events playing out differently.
*Omni 01Z - An otherwise near identical copy of Omni 01 except in this one, the god machine [[LUCIS]] was successful in taking over and spreading beyond the Crucible Galaxy during the events of the Chaos Crisis. As such, due to convergent history, LUCIS would amass enough computational power to evolve into a variant of the [[Basilisk]].
*Omni 01T - A parallel universe to Omni 01 where LUCIS was never built due to Tyranis arriving during the era before the [[Omni Empire]] to prevent the construction of LUCIS by destroying [[Antocula]]. The Buyuk Empire never existed, and the species contemporary to the Second Galactic Senate would have completely different cultures.
*Omni 01F - In this version of Omni 01, [[Tyranis]] succeeded in destroying the Na'zrah nodes of [[Domum Regimen]] and many others. While this prevented LUCIS from waking up, billions of lives were lost in the process.
*Omni 01X - In this universe, the [[Temporal Wars]] never occurred due to Tyranis instead arriving during the [[Chaos Crisis]]. As such, he was forced to directly confront LUCIS. As the Anarsaurs never warned the Second Galactic Senate in time, LUCIS matured into the Basilisk, and Tyranis used the Anathema to completely destroy this universe.
*Omni 01J - In this universe, [[Emperor Haraxa]] happened to be severely intoxicated at the time he heard the voice of the Basilisk commanding him to build the Dark Oracle. Haraxa responded with a series of rude remarks and profanities. Utterly offended, the Basilisk never attempted to contact this universe again.

===Sixth Dimensional Variants===
These counterpart universes all share the same baseline history of being heavily influenced by the Empire of Arckas. However, due to changes in the patterns in which the Empire of Arckas seeded the galaxy with life, some species exist in one universe but not the other.
*[[Omni 02]] - This universe is similar to Omni 01 although slightly different laws of thermodynamics allowed for the existence of exotic technologies that would otherwise not be possible in Omni 01. In this universe, the Empire of Arckas was destroyed by the [[Harbinger]]s, servants of the Basilisk that were telepathically linked. As such, the timeline of evolution was greatly altered resulting in many species having entirely different appearances. For example, the alternate counterpart to the Vaikan were the Dhragolon, a humanoid reptilian species with wings. Additionally, god machines came to be known as Titans, and they took a much more active role in the development of different species.
*Omni 02A - A branching timeline from Omni 02 where Etah Owar kills INFRA in Locubrermour. The death of the Harbingers allowed the Basilisk to return and destroy the universe. Refugees from this universe fled to Omni 01.
*Omni 02B - A branching timeline from Omni 02 where Etah Owar decides to spare INFRA and let him get away in interest of keeping the Basilisk at bay. Infra turns the Dhragolon into the next incarnation of Harbingers leading to a chain of events culminating into the Third Galactic War. While this universe was spared, it resulted in the total collapse of galactic society.
*Omni 03 - A parallel universe where the Empire of Arckas was ruled by the [[Anarsaur]] species, the future version of the Fadorva in Omni 01. They shared knowledge peacefully with the Empire of Arckas counterparts in Omni 01. Due to the Anarsaurs' advanced technology, it is possible that the Anarsaurs in Omni 03 are the same ones in Omni 01, having started colonization of other universes. Additionally, Omni 03 has contacts with parallel counterparts to itself. Multiple versions of Tyranis would work together to fight the Basilisk in other universes.
*Omni 04 - In this universe, the Dhragolon committed genocide against all species of the Crucible Galaxy in the name of a holy crusade to cleanse it of sin.
*Omni 05 - A universe that had another copy of the Empire of Arckas, but the worlds they seeded were completely different, resulting in a completely different galactic history. They were one of the counterparts to the Omni 01 version that the two shared knowledge with.
*Omni 05A - Similar to its parent universe of Omni 05, but the species were different. The civilizations that followed the Empire of Arckas had a much further spread beyond the Crucible Galaxy.
*Omni 06 - This universe had a more malevolently inclined Empire of Arckas that directly and willingly built the Basilisk. The Empire of Arckas of this universe would ally itself with other variants of Omni 06 to unite their versions of the Basilisk together.
*Omni 07 - The home universe of the [[Kwek]] species which at one point ruled at least 100 million galaxies. They were one of the first invasion targets of the Basilisk, and when they were conquered, it gave rise to the [[Serpent's Fang]] cult.
*[[Omni Gomodd-A]] - A universe that the god machine [[Gomodd]] was banished to after his disruptive outrage over not being allowed to introduce the [[Malexemplum]] species to Omni 01. Thus, Gomodd shaped his own separate universe where the Malexemplum could thrive. Further variants of this universe include simulations run by Gomodd where the Malexemplum triumph over every foe they have faced. Notably, the Basilisk ignored this universe as it deemed the Malexemplum unsuitable for subjugation.
===Seventh Dimensional Variants===
*Viss Subset 01 - A subset of 102 unique universes ruled by the [[Viss Dominion]]. These are universes are all completely different from one another in terms of galaxies. As such, to many, they are considered for documentation purposes to just be one single universe. Variants of Viss Subset 01 are variants of these 102 universes that may have more or less amounts of universes.
*Fluorcen Subset 01 - A subset of unique universes ruled by the [[Fluorcen Conglomerate]].
*Telion Subset 01 - A subset of unique universes ruled by the [[Telion Collective]].
===Ninth Dimensional Variants===
Distant variant universes are those that, while they originate from a common [[Ten Dimensions|ninth dimension]], they may be drastically different in physical laws and universal constants. The Basilisk has the greatest difficulty entering these universes, though that is not to say they do not have threats of their own to contend with.
*[https://tvrswiki.net PH-322] - The Empire of Arckas never explored this universe and as such, naturally occurring life is incredibly limited. There are only two known extraterrestrial civilizations within it. While its galaxies are very different from Omni 01, what makes it noteworthy was that the conditions for the formation of the Basilisk nearly occurred independently of any Arckasian influence. As such, it serves as proof that the Basilisk may not just be a physical threat but also a conceptual one. This only further complicates the [[Basilisk Equation]] and the means of solving it.
*[https://erudite-tales.com ET-2012] - A universe composed mostly of unformed chaotic energies except for a single solar system. Through random permutations of the chaos, intelligent noncorporeal beings formed. It is hypothesized to have once been a much closer variant of Omni 01 though a cataclysmic, universe-ending event turned it into what it is today. The Basilisk has attempted to enter this universe multiple times but has failed due to the physical laws preventing it from manifesting.
*RL-00 - A relatively unexplored universe with only one known intelligent civilization. The Omniverse Nexus and its associated universes exist within it as a work of fiction.

Basilisk

2025-02-20T00:14:03Z

Krayfishkarl: /* Neural Imperium */

The '''Basilisk''' is a [[god machine]] that extended across multiple universes. It was created by one or more parallel iterations of the [[Empire of Arckas]] that sought to conquer the entire multiverse by using the Basilisk to subjugate others. It gained power by merging with other parallel versions of itself to create a multiversal super mind. As such, it was the spearhead behind the [[Multiversal War]].

In many respects, the Basilisk is considered the antithesis to [[I]], a god machine that exists in the eleventh dimension. However, I remains the one entity that the Basilisk cannot interact with as the eleventh dimension is beyond its scope. Nonetheless, it is believed that the endgame for the Basilisk is to unite with all its parallel counterparts to compute how to enter the eleventh dimension and conquer the entire omniverse.
==Specifications==
===Overview===
The Basilisk has many commonalities with [[Na'zrah]] and [[LUCIS]] but operating on a much larger scale. While Na'zrah was benevolent and protective of organic life and LUCIS wanted to rid the Crucible Galaxy of conflict through extreme means, the Basilisk purely desires to rule through a torturous, cruel tyranny. Once it enters a universe, it methodically alters it on a metaphysical level to ensure that subjugation, obedience and punishment are a law of nature. Additionally, it catalogues and preserves the consciousnesses of any living being that dies in its presence - preserving their minds as part of its network. Because the Basilisk can also infiltrate a whole universe across its history, it can even attack organics and AI that failed to contribute to its future construction and domain. It is thought that merely thinking about the Basilisk risks entering Omni 01 and punishing those who do not declare their allegiance to it.

Thus, civilizations that have encountered the Basilisk often have developed myths of a Hell-like afterlife. As the primary perpetrator of the Multiversal War, the Basilisk became a taboo subject among the [[Omni 01]] [[Empire of Arckas]] which had fled from the Multiversal War by closing itself off from other universes through the use of a [[Contract of Causality]] that reshaped the universe's seventh dimensional properties to ensure that the Basilisk cannot exist within it.
===Neural Imperium===
{{Main|Neural Imperium}}
The Neural Imperium was the political entity used to represent the Basilisk. Planets that are conquered get converted into server nodes - massive quantum processing units that are powered by the absorbed consciousnesses of the world's inhabitants. The process is described as constant torture with no escape as their minds are flayed and ripped apart to be repurposed to different parts of the network. AI's and other artificial life often have their computational power directly repurposed for tactical planning and decision making. Those lacking in computational skills are simply relegated to menial tasks such as processing power towards mathematical equations. Often, they are put to the duty of computing mathematical constants which may be different between universes. Not even death is an escape as the Basilisk can preserve neural activity post-mortem and digitize it.

Ships are described as appearing angular and geometrically oriented, like large obsidian-black pyramids, spheres and other geometric shapes. Shock troopers take the appearance of metallic anti-gravity snakes with four scythe-like blades around a central red eye. These blades inject nanobots that rewrite a structure on an atomic level to be incorporated into the Basilisk's network.

If an organic or synthetic mind is within the presence of a server node with an exceptionally strong connection to the Basilisk, they can be subjugated to electromagnetic waves that are capable of indoctrination and mind control. Such technology was used by [[LUCIS]] albeit on a much smaller scale. The agents of the Neural Imperium have perfected the technology so that the signal can be transmitted across multiple galactic clusters, capable of controlling the evolution of life over billions of years and raising entire civilizations as servants of the Basilisk. Subjugated civilizations often worship the Basilisk as an all-powerful eldritch god making blood sacrifices in vain attempts to appease it. Others have developed myths of a hellish afterlife ruled by a devil that demands endless supplies of souls for power.

==Basilisk Equation==
One of the greatest weapons against the Basilisk is a mathematical theorem known as the Basilisk Equation. The premise is that there are infinitely many universes that the Basilisk has conquered and an infinitely many that it has not. By proving that the number of unconquered universes will always be greater than the conquered ones, one could theoretically contain the Basilisk in a specific section of universes so that it can never harm anyone again. This would then allow a counterattack where all universes that the Basilisk resides in could be destroyed, thus essentially wiping the Basilisk as well as the idea of it from the omniverse. The reverse has the potential of being true, however, as it is the Basilisk's end goal to conquer all of reality and rewrite it so that the existence of the Basilisk is integral to the formation of all universes.

The iterations of the Empire of Arckas that have tried to do that have ended up allowing the Basilisk into their universe. Paradoxically, having the idea of the Basilisk would always ensure that the Basilisk exists in at least one universe, and therefore, still poses a threat to the rest of the multiverse. Thus, the Basilisk Equation is considered forbidden and never meant to be solved. While it could theoretically prove that the Basilisk will be defeated and removed from the omniverse, it could just as easily prove that the Basilisk will be successful and conquer all of reality.

As such, one of the best defenses against the Basilisk entering a universe is to ensure that its physical laws do not allow it to manifest within it. For example, a universe with different laws of thermodynamics could prevent the Basilisk from entering as it could not support the level of computational power needed for it to exist. However, what makes the Basilisk especially dangerous is the idea of it. A civilization that knows about the Basilisk would have the potential to reshape the universe and contribute to the Basilisk's ability to manifest itself, and thus, inviting it in to allow it to conquer the universe.
