Korolyov (Russian: Королёв) is named after the Hero of Socialist Labour and Chief Designer of the Soviet Space Program, Col. Sergey Pavlovich Korolyov. The moon has an eccentric orbit which varies its status as the outermost satellite of Gagarin, referencing Korolyov’s overseer status over USSR’s pioneering missions involving Y. A. Gagarin, V. V. Tereshkova and Laika. It is a frozen moon without an atmosphere.

Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.
