Lagrangian Conflux
More actions
The term "Lagrangian Conflux," introduced during the Scientific Assembly in the early 25th century, encompasses three distinct cosmological phenomena: Lagrangian Clouds, Lagrangian Storm Clouds, and Lagrangian Lullabies.
Lagrangian Clouds
Lagrangian Gravity Well Dust Clouds, or simply Lagrangian Clouds, are regions where dust accumulates within the gravitational neutrality zones near massive celestial bodies. Originally known as Kordylewski clouds, these formations exist within the spheres of influence of planets and stars, situated at specific points where gravitational forces balance out. Initially proposed by Kazimierz Kordylewski in the 1960s, Lagrangian points have since become crucial to humanity's economic and social infrastructure. The oldest operational spaceport, the renowned L2 James Webb University, orbits Old Terra, demonstrating the strategic value of Lagrangian locations. Smaller Lagrangian Clouds are common near planetary bodies, while larger ones can be found in deep-space regions, particularly in the gravitational wells of stars.
Classification of Lagrangian Clouds is based on their composition, each categorized by color:
- - Albus - Stellar Ice Clouds
- - Roseus - Stellar Helium Clouds
- - Atrum - Stellar Gravinium Clouds
- - Purpura - Purple Lagrange Clouds
- - Luteus - Yellow Lagrange Clouds
- - Viridis - Green Lagrange Clouds
- - Fuscus - Brown Lagrange Clouds
- - Lividus - Gray Lagrange Clouds
- - Ruber - Red Lagrange Clouds
Albus - Stellar Ice Clouds
Albus-Stellar Ice Clouds are white, ice-rich formations encountered in the deep space regions of star systems, particularly around M and K-type stars. Primarily composed of water ice and fine ice mist, they are among the safest types of Lagrangian clouds. However, caution is advised to prevent hyperthermia in ship systems when navigating through these cold zones.
Notable Structures within Albus-Stellar Ice Clouds:
- - L3 Adeil Bahram Recycle and Refinery: Provided drinkable water to the crew of the abandoned megaship in the DSO 1543-1456 "Azazel" star system.
Roseus - Stellar Helium Clouds
Roseus-Stellar Helium Clouds are pink, helium-rich Lagrangian clouds found around M, K, and S-type stars. Their primary composition is helium, particularly of interest due to high concentrations of Helium-3, a critical fuel source for modern spacecraft. While generally safe, caution is required during EVA operations because of the alpha radiation from Helium-4 cores.
Atrum - Stellar Gravinium Clouds
Atrum-Stellar Gravinium Clouds are dark, gravinium-dense clouds often found near young, Wolf-Rayet stars. Composed of gravinium microparticles, these clouds are known for their instability, caused by electromagnetic fluctuations from the still-forming stars. The gravinium within them is believed to be a primary source of natural gravinium metal. However, these clouds are highly dangerous, with intense gravitational anomalies capable of violently disrupting ships, especially those integrated with Angelic Meta, due to Dual-Graviton Gravitino violations.
Atrum-Stellar Gravinium Clouds are classified as hazardous, and extreme caution is advised. Ships with Angelic Metal components are strictly warned to avoid them.
Planetary Lagrange Clouds
Planetar Lagrangian Clouds and Storm Clouds are the most common types, typically found within the gravitational wells of planets across all main sequence stars (M, K, G, F, A, B, O). They primarily consist of metallic and rocky dust, with their color determined by the metal content within the clouds. Through recent studies, six primary color categories were proposed to classify these clouds and their stormy counterparts.
Lagrangian Storm Clouds typically form when dust is electromagnetically charged due to natural events, leading to stunning cosmic light displays. These visual phenomena attract countless tourists seeking adrenaline-fueled adventures under the dazzling, stormy skies.
Planetary Lagrangian Clouds are generally safe, though pilots are advised to navigate carefully, avoiding highly charged regions.
Notable Locations with Planetar Lagrange Clouds:

- - L5 "Disorder of Heavens" - Archangels Autonomous Facility
- - L1 Vitas Vanir Sanctuary
- - G6 Kushira Galaxy Bridge Point
