Mysteries in the
Wanderer Universe

Tapache, a machine intelligence with great power, has revived the Roranian people from their derelict remains. It has gifted them the Great Ship to voyage through space and given them a purpose: to discover the truth about a weapon capable of unthinkable devastation.

An unexpected attack, followed by hundreds of years in stasis, scuppers those plans. Hope seems lost for a small group of Roranian survivors, until something far greater draws them in: a megastructure beyond comprehension.

The megastructure is far from safe. There are incumbent species that already lay their claim, all with secrets of their own, and a strangely smart information network that exists where it has no right.

Splintered minds. A hidden city. Alien evolution directed by thought alone.

Seventy years have passed since Kera unlocked the secrets of the dummy node, and the Administration reigns supreme. But all is not as it seems. Half-minds satisfy the Administration's ruling class, and now the true leader wants to emerge from the shadows.

Meanwhile, on the desolate plains of Barrenscape, an attempt to trap the Breaker goes awry, unveiling an ancient structure from a time so distant that even the Vaesians have forgotten. The Breaker's lair may have been found, but it's not what anyone expected.

The Source has entered its final phase. Fadin is in ruins following an influx rebellion and Sunsprit teeters on the brink. The Breaker wreaks havoc and a shadow of the Administration's leadership works to annihilate everything, under new orders from the Source's terrifying creators.

Separated from their friends by a strange anomaly, Kera and Diyan find themselves in a realm inhabited by confounding creatures eager to learn what became of one of their own. Meanwhile, Paran and Yena are drawn beneath Ringscape's surface, where they uncover dark truths of the Vaesian past, and why it was purposely forgotten.

Can the mysteries within the Source be solved before it is too late?

After a relentless war ravaged the galaxy for hundreds of millions of years, an insidious enemy was finally subdued by the events of the Great Conflation, although not defeated. With the pre-Conflation empires in ruins and the Ascended Biologicals wiped out, the decimated galactic community struggled to rebuild itself from the ashes, and the machine-led Wanderer civilisation rose to prominence.

A lone Wanderer craft-lect, a sentient machine intelligence, has found something on an innocuous world it had marked for routine decontamination. Something that may aid it in finally discovering answers about their formidable enemy, and with the power to stop it.

Gil, a young woman from an isolated commune, realises that her abilities far surpass anything she had suspected, but do they come at a price?

Now a passenger on the Wanderer ship, Gil struggles to comprehend its galaxy-spanning quest and her place amongst the stars. She is helped by 998, the c-autom appointed by the craft-lect as her guardian, while it also deals with its own burgeoning duties as quasi-leader of its kind.

The ship's other recent passenger, One-oh, an ancient bio-lect and assumed sole survivor of an ancient race, has meanwhile retreated into self-imposed isolation, although dark secrets about a terrible past threaten to be unleashed.

Elsewhere, paradise is tirelessly tended to by its devoted workers, keen to aid their forgetful creator in remembering vital knowledge that was lost. A new arrival could jeopardise everything.

When a powerful machine-lect reconnects with real space to gaze across the galaxy, it receives an unexpected message and decides to take action.

The Maspero, an Ascended Biological civilisation extinct for sixty million years, may hold vital clues about the fabled Deliverer. The craft-lect is nearby, but there's a problem. An internal attack has removed its control and left it isolated from the crew. Just where do One-oh's loyalties lie?

Tor and DeVoid try to make sense of their uninvited guest as well as his bizarre request, while Apalu faces a difficult choice on its quest to the Lenbit Orbital, and a terrible weapon lies in wait from the dawn of the Wanderer civilisation.

Siouca is a member of the advanced Wanderer civilisation. What does Siouca want?

The quest to unlock the secrets of interstellar travel leads a Roranian crew on an epic journey across space. Saved by a dying machine-lect, stranded in a failing ship, faced with an ultimate choice. Were they too eager in their attempts to reach the stars?

The fractious Primals are the ancient, all-powerful rulers of the Creatites. Tallic has been granted abilities most Creatites could only dream of, until an unexpected encounter with an intruder changes everything. Nurilm chances upon forbidden knowledge about an enigmatic entity called the Collector, and an unthinkable battle waged long ago. How is it all connected?

The Outer Layer is an enigma to its residents. Representatives from countless races and civilisations wander the many territories, hoping to unlock its secrets and progress further into its depths.

An anomaly has been detected in space by an artefact from an extinct civilisation. Ciqalo, a machine intelligence from the Wanderer civilisation, is tasked with leading the investigation in the hope of weaponising it for a galactic war.

Tolren, playmate of an heir to the Alexis-Meld, becomes a hunted fugitive and finds himself aboard a structure in space that defies all understanding, alongside Seremend, a fellow Roranian. They race to comprehend their new home, and why they have been chosen.

Chiton vanished. It was there, and then it wasn't. The Chitchi were forced to start again.

Three hundred years ago, the brilliant Krasna established her research c'hub on the unclaimed water-world of Prebis. Chiotechnology may have its flaws, but finally her ferinon experiments seem to be going somewhere. Unfortunately, her increasingly bizarre behaviour and strange references to the past begin to worry her subordinates.

Chathindi studies the insectoid Risers, non-sentients native to Prebis, and grows increasingly convinced they are more than they appear. Just who is observing who?
