	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.

	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.

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!

	Several articles still remain to be imported from the old website. Once the process is complete on both Galactic Crucibles and Erudite Tales, the original Omniverse Nexus will be redirected to Galactic Crucibles. But even after the import process is completed, there are more exciting stories waiting in the future!

	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.

It was then that the name Smog Hollows was created for this setting.
