Palioxis is an unique, alien simulation that resides in the heart of the Confluence, and is by far the most impacted by Vela's decaying state. The reality's unusual creation protocol has given birth to a chaotic void populated by endless bubbles of stabilized space, known as Aeshai. They reach hundreds of light-years in breadth and are filled to the brim with bright stars, picturesque worlds, and inexplicable anomalies.

The peculiar natural laws and cosmology of Palioxis have resulted in an inexhaustible amount of native phenomena.

Cosmology

Primordial Singularity

The Primordial Singularity, also known as the Creator, is a highly anomalous entity of Miriandynic Energy that rests in the heart of the Palioxis Starfield, powering and sustaining the entire region. In it's default inert state, the Primordial Singularity takes the appearance of a perfect sphere coated by an unusually dense layer of Phantom Matter. This coating casts the Primordial Singularity with the appearance of the cosmos and nebulae nearby, while uncommonly reflecting some of the farthest places of the region. While the inert state is the most prevalent, the Primordial Singularity has three additional distinct states, some of which are highly hazardous to any matter and others of which are truly breathtaking.

Everything within the Palioxis Starfield is gravitationally tethered to the Primordial Singularity, similarly to a conventional supermassive black hole at the heart of a galaxy. All celestial bodies orbit this entity of unimaginable power like stars orbit the center of a galaxy, and as a result, the Primordial Singularity united the entire Starfield, serving as the region's beating heart.

Aeshai

Fields are tiny alternate planes that usually reach hundreds of light-years in width and contain tens of thousands or stars, or likely more. Travel between these planes is accomplished in the Khaos by any spacecraft moving at twice the velocity of light outside of its Field, thus bypassing the boundary that divides these planes. When in Khaos, one will see a plethora of 'orbs,' which are distinct Fields observed externally. Fields are arranged into Field Associations, which house approximately ten thousand Fields. Sometimes there exist Field Clusters, areas as large as Field Associations but house around ten times the Fields.

Fields can be classified using a simple system based on their level of connectivity to the Primordial Singularity. This classification is performed on a range of zero to a hundred, with a hundred being the most connected and zero being the least connected. A Field with a connectivity level of a hundred is the most stable, housing nearly no abnormalities. When the classification goes below a hundred, certain aberrations and anomalies tend to manifest. If the level of a Field is below twenty, common concepts such as distance and time seem to break down entirely, as seen in Khaos. Fortunately though, most Fields' level is eighty to a hundred, with only a select few reaching below twenty.

Fields tend to move at considerable speeds in the Starfield, going as fast as a light-year in second. Nevertheless, average speed for Fields moving is that of around a few thousand times the speed of light. As a result of their constant, ongoing movement, Fields sometimes collide with each other. Collisions between Fields are exceedingly rare in ordinary areas, though in extremely densely populated Field Associations, these can be common occurrences. When two Fields touch each other, they instantly start a violent merging process that lasts millions of years. This involves sterilizing the colliding Fields, as the collision releases an absurd amount of radiation.

Planes

While many phenomena are identical to those seen in the Universe, the Palioxis Starfield contains an inexhaustible amount of unique ones. Viir and Quaal stars are among the most common, with the former being emerald-colored and the latter being violet-colored stars. As these planes are around five billion years old, the Palioxis Starfield contains numerous phenomena which the Universe used to possess in its early days. These include quasi-stars, extremely massive and luminous types of stars. Unlike other stars, which are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, a quasi-star's energy would come from material falling into a black hole at its core.

Many things which are considered purely impossible in other planes, can be a common occurrences within the Palioxis Starfield. Extremely close-orbiting clusters of worlds are an example of this. Their orbits would instantly destabilize in the Universe and they would crash into each-other there, though this is not the result in the Palioxis Starfield. Instead, they harmoniously orbit their parent stars with no interferences. Another peculiarity is temperatures that are hundreds of degrees below what is considered the absolute zero in realspace. This is possible through complex quantum-scale interactions between miriandynic energy and ordinary matter and energy. As a result, the lowest temperature in the Palioxis Starfield is -542.517 °C.

The Palioxis Starfield, also known as the Palioxis Collective or Laniakea, is a region of an extradimensional void beyond comprehension, nicknamed Khaos. The Palioxis Starfield is the only region in Khaos with any sort of activity, containing billions of practically identical alternate existential planes. These alternate planes, called Fields, contain a a hundred thousand stars at average, reaching many hundreds of light-years in diameter. Travel between these planes is achieved in the Khaos by any spacecraft achieving speeds that are twice more than the speed of light, thus breaking the barrier than separates these planes. When one is in Khaos, one will observe numerous 'orbs', which are different Fields viewed from the outside.
