Inflorescence

Template:!Alternate Plane InfoboxInflorescence is a superstructural realm, a realm "built" atop another realm, located directly "above" the Via Aylathiya galaxy in four dimensional space. This realm is dominated by a single massive spiral galaxy called Chapeirre. With slightly different laws of gravity than the Local Cosmos on which it rests, Inflorescence has very few black holes or neutron stars, with a very low number of stars having more than 8 M_☉. Consequently, most of Chapeirre is completely lifeless and virtually unconscionable due to a lack of metals to form asteroids and planets.

Within its clouds of dust and small stars are five clouds are types of nebulae called "Grand Design Nebulae," peculiar nebulae that have similar similar formation patterns as galaxies within the wider local cosmos. It seems that whenever a black hole or neutron star does form in Chapeirre, it begins accumulating orbiting material to form these nebulae. Most of the mass contained within Inflorescence is in the form of Dark Matter, bizarre particles only found in Inflorescence. These particles account for most of the mass contained within Inflorescence and is responsible for its strange laws of gravity.

The first sapient life to exist in Inflorescence were beings known as Engels. Engels are spontaneously manifesting beings whose origin is largely unknown. The first of them was an entity called The Administrator, followed by Molonov and Delyatu. Soon after the origins of the Engels, colonists from Via Aylathiya found their way into Inflorescence. Soon after, native civilizations would spring up. In 99,871 BCE, the Triumvirate Civilization formed, uniting all intelligent species in the realm under one banner. Soon after, the Triumvirate would expand outside of Inflorescence into the Local Cosmos. Inflorescence has not been united since the fall of the Triumvirate, with the remaining Engels and outside forces quarreling over the Triumvirate's ruins.

Dimensionality & Properties

Inflorescence is a three-dimensional region of Normal Space with no particular anomalous properties inherent to its space-time. As a realm, Inflorescence is very similar to the local cosmos. Its properties are so similar that the most commonly excepted theory for its creation, Cosmic Division, is that Inflorescence and the Local Cosmos were both one before splitting as the two cooled. Out of the five known spatial dimensions to contain matter, Inflorescence is "off-set" by about three kilo-light-years in the "W" axis. Other than that, it shares the same X, Y, and Z dimensions that the Local Cosmos does.

At one mega-light-year across, Inflorescence's total volume is a tenth of a percent as large as the Local Cosmos. The total amount of mass contained within Inflorescence, however, is comparable to the entirety of the Local Cosmos. At just under a third of the Local Comos' mass, Inflorescence is very densely packed with matter. Most of this matter is in the form of Dark Matter, specifically a form called A.M.P.s (Anomalously-interacting Massive Particles). Called "Strange Axions," these particles conform to a more complex set of gravitational interactions that the Local Cosmos' W.I.M.P.s (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles).

Chapierre

Within the center of Inflorescence lies one galaxy, Chapierre. It combined with the rest of the galaxies in Inflorescence over ten billion years ago, leaving only a small handful of stars existing outside of the galaxy still within Inflorescence. Chapierre is a spiral galaxy in the process of transitioning into an elliptical form.
