• 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.

Liminal World

For every habitable world found, there are hundreds of thousands of Liminal Worlds that are hostile to life.

The term is often used to specifically refer to the star systems that exist in-between the major populated star systems. These systems lack the exotic materials needed to create gravity-manipulation systems and don't support life. They have little value to the major species of the universe.

Among these star-systems, there are possibly thousands of human colonies established during The Scattering. These colonies were setup by the desperate, the lied to, or often the delusional. Many of them failed with a total loss of life. Others remain, but are largely cut off from humanity. Without the ability to generate FTL effects, they are entirely dependent on others to visit their colonies.
