Shores of Hazeron simulates a small Universe containing twenty galaxies. The galaxies and their inter-galactic connections just happen to form a double helix, almost as if a great architect designed it that way.

Wormholes exist at the core of each galaxy that interconnect it with one or more other galaxies. This is similar to the network of wormholes that interconnects solar systems. All galaxies are interconnected with at least one other galaxy.

A spacecraft equipped with a wormhole PNN FTL drive is needed to traverse intergalactic wormholes. Immense gravitational forces exist near the supermassive black hole hosting these wormholes. Entry and exit from them is a dangerous experience, requiring patience and a good feel for flying the ship. AI crew members cannot do it.

The galaxies are independent of each other and it is not possible to deadhead from one galaxy to another.

Dimensions

The universe is split into three dimensions. Dimensions are separated by two known discontinuities in the fabric of space and time.

Scoring is tallied separately for the war and peace dimensions, on the Shores of Hazeron web site.

Travel between dimensions is difficult but not impossible. No gear is permitted to cross from one dimension to another.

⚔ War Dimension

The larger group of seventeen galaxies are found in the war dimension. In the war dimension, avatars are able to harm each other, destroy each others buildings, and conquer cities. This is also referred to as the pvp (player vs player) dimension.

☮ Peace Dimension

The smaller group of three galaxies are found in the peace dimension. In the peace dimension, avatars are unable to harm each other or conquer cities. This is also referred to as the pve (player vs environment) dimension, or no-pvp dimension.

♁ Earth Dimension

Nothing is known about the Earth dimension.

Σ Discontinuity

The sigma discontinuity separates the peace dimension from other dimensions.

The sigma discontinuity is the boundary around the peace dimension.

Ω Discontinuity

The omega discontinuity separates the Earth dimension from other dimensions.

The omega discontinuity forms a boundary around the Earth dimension.

Galaxy Flags

  • Home World
    Galaxies with the Home World flag can be selected as a starting galaxy.
  • Pirate Home
    Pirate empires are most commonly encountered in their home galaxy. Their prevalence in other galaxies diminishes with distance from their home galaxy.
  • Primeval World
    When Primeval World is launched, a galaxy with the Primeval World flag is randomly selected in order to generate the solar system.
  • Solo Design Environment
    When the offline designer is launched, a galaxy with the Solo Design Environment flag is randomly selected in order to generate the skybox.
