Notes

  • E-Space, or Exo-space, is another universe connected to our own by Charged Vacuum Emboitments, through which entropy is vented from our universe to stave off the heat death of the universe. It contains its own planets, including Adric's homeworld, Alzarius.
  • N-Space, or Normal-space, is our universe, where heat death should have already occurred, but for the Logopolitans' creation of the CVEs to shunt the excess entropy into other universes, including E-space. Unless otherwise noted, all planets listed are in N-Space.
  • Terminus is not a planet, but a planet-sized spacecraft that caused the Big Bang and lies at the centre of the universe . Its engines are capable of causing another explosion that will end the universe, and the radiation leaking from them is the cure for Lazar's Disease.
