Antonio Pigafetta, circa 1519

"The Antarctic pole has no star of the fate of the Arctic pole, but we see many stars congregated together, which are like two nebulae, a little separated from each other, and a little in the middle."

Entry on Tiqqun/The Palace, United Sol Command spokesperson, 2567

"The Tiqqun project began in the late 24th century as a collaborative effort involving the United LunaTerra, the Cetus Federal Republic, and the Ceres Shipyards. The goal was to create the most advanced Anti-De-Sitter (AdS) generational megaship ever built, capable of transporting humanity on its next grand expedition to the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud."

"Designed to push the boundaries of AdS drive technology, Tiqqun was envisioned as a self-sustaining vessel capable of traveling up to 2,000,000 light-years with its own onboard fuel replenishment systems. It featured nine colossal megaship engines for normal space maneuvering and cutting-edge AdS drives, though travel speed was deliberately reduced in favor of long-term sustainability from AdS tensors."

The Library records on Argela Vayer

z

The Archangelic writings record the name "Argela Vayer" as the ancient designation for what is now known as the Large Magellanic Cloud. When translated into modern linguistic structures, it corresponds to "Argelvats Vayr," which carries the meaning: "Forbidden Place."

According to the recorded history within The Library, the Archangels first encountered hints of ε¹¹ during their studies of the universe's dimensional geometries, specifically while observing the direction towards the Universal Center. A leading figure within the Archangels' scientific community noticed inconsistencies and gaps in the observational data, initially dismissing these as system errors. However, a second-in-command, tasked with verifying the data before archiving it, decided to investigate further. By replacing the missing data with blank packets and carefully filtering the rest, a visual pattern emerged—revealing a self-similar, fractal-like geometric structure that resembled a string. This discovery was initially dismissed by the Archangel collective as a mere coincidence, likely caused by hardware malfunctions.

When the Athezians were granted limited access to The Library, a group of biochemists stumbled upon an archived file labeled X55124-Y123-Z12-W6774, Article Ψ12i by Humans. The file contained records of the Archangels' earlier discovery, which the Archangels initially referred to as Sheeyahie Kaf'shey, translating roughly to Mother Universe Art. Inspired, they used their own bioengineering technologies to replicate the Archangels' observations, directing their instruments toward the same region of space. This time, however, their tools detected an unusual pulsation pattern— a rhythmic, beating pulse that became evident when the data was converted into sound waves. When they shared this newfound information with both the Archangels and the Tionislans, the Archangels revisited their earlier conclusions, reconsidering the structure they had dismissed. What was once Mother Universe Art soon became recognized as Edge of Eternity, a more profound and enigmatic entity than originally thought.

Ancient Human recordings on Large Magellanic Cloud First recorded mention in human history, by Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi, 900's

Al-Ṣūfī made his astronomical observations at a latitude of 32.7N° in Isfahan. It has been claimed that he identified the Large Magellanic Cloud, but this seems to be a misunderstanding of a reference to some stars south of Canopus which he admits he has not seen. He also made the earliest recorded observation of the Andromeda Galaxy in 964, describing it as a "small cloud". This was the first galaxy other than the Milky Way to be mentioned in writing.
