Shores of Hazeron simulates a small Universe containing twenty galaxies. The galaxies and their inter-galactic connections just happen to form a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_double_helix double helix], almost as if a great architect designed it that way.
[[Hazeron Starship]] simulates a small universe containing twenty one galaxies.


Distances between galaxies are very great. It is not possible to [[deadhead]] from one galaxy to another.
Intergalactic [[Wormhole|wormhole]]s exist at the core of most galaxies. These wormholes interconnect a galaxy with one or more other galaxies. These connections are shown on the universe map. This is similar to the network of wormholes that interconnects [[Solar_System|solar system]]s.  


[[Wormhole]]s 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_System|solar system]]s. All galaxies are interconnected with at least one other galaxy.  
Stellar black holes exist throughout galaxies. They are reported to host a one-way intergalactic wormhole to a nearby galaxy. Those connections are not shown on the universe map.  


A [[spacecraft]] equipped with a [[Wormhole_Drive|wormhole drive]] is needed to traverse intergalactic wormholes. Immense gravitational forces exist near the [[Supermassive_Black_Hole|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.
A [[spacecraft]] equipped with a [[Wormhole_Drive|wormhole FTL drive]] is needed to traverse intergalactic wormholes. Immense gravitational forces exist near the [[Supermassive_Black_Hole|supermassive black hole]] hosting these wormholes.


==Discontinuities==
Galaxies are extremely far apart from each other. It is not possible to [[deadhead]] from one galaxy to another.
The universe is split by two known discontinuities in the fabric of space.
 
===Σ Discontinuity===
The sigma discontinuity separates the galaxies into two groups. Disjoint islands of galaxies are created that have no connections to each other, as often occurs in the solar system wormhole network.
 
The larger group of seventeen galaxies is called the ''conflict zone''. In the conflict zone, avatars are able to harm each other, destroy each others buildings, or conquer cities. This is also referred to as the pvp (player vs player) zone.
 
The smaller group of three galaxies is called the ''neutral zone''. In the neutral zone, avatars are unable to harm each other or conquer cities. This is also referred to as the pve (player vs environment) or no-pvp zone.
 
Scoring in each zone is tallied separately on the Shores of Hazeron web site. Travel between zones is difficult but not impossible. No gear is permitted to cross the sigma discontinuity.
 
===Ω Discontinuity===
Nothing is known about what lies beyond the omega discontinuity.

Hazeron Starship simulates a small universe containing twenty one galaxies.

Intergalactic wormholes exist at the core of most galaxies. These wormholes interconnect a galaxy with one or more other galaxies. These connections are shown on the universe map. This is similar to the network of wormholes that interconnects solar systems.

Stellar black holes exist throughout galaxies. They are reported to host a one-way intergalactic wormhole to a nearby galaxy. Those connections are not shown on the universe map.

A spacecraft equipped with a wormhole FTL drive is needed to traverse intergalactic wormholes. Immense gravitational forces exist near the supermassive black hole hosting these wormholes.

Galaxies are extremely far apart from each other. It is not possible to deadhead from one galaxy to another.

Galaxy Flags

  • Home World
    Galaxies with the Home World flag can be selected as a starting galaxy during avatar creation.
  • Pirate Home
    Pirate empires are most commonly encountered in their home galaxy. Their prevalence in other galaxies diminishes with distance from their home galaxy.
  • 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.
