About Planet Moirai Major

Planet Moirai Major is far on the outskirts of their universe and tucked away between two stars. They are the fourth planet from their sun. It is a small planet which was first home to the "sentience", which they called "Ambroisium" and was fiercely protected by the humans who colonized the planet. They learned that the sentient being was in the earth itself and everything on the planet was a host to it, but not soon enough that they weren't affected themsevles.

When they first saw the planet they called it the Sage Planet because of all the luminous silvery green trees they saw. The planet itself is like a large herbal apothacary, producing the largest array of medicinal plants in the galaxy. Natural hot springs dot the landscape and serene moving rivers and pools of water do a serpentine twist through the terrian. This planet has oxygen, making it an obvious and natural choice for the humans that colonized it and provides a natural barrier against some particularly neferious species (like the 4 5 6) in some regard while attracting others for their resources. As a result of that Moirai has become a "tourist" planet, one can come see and even get the best treatment or their medical ailments but permanant residency is closed except to those that the Lachisis Clan foresee as being "fated" to live on Moirai. Even then, despite having access to all benifits, those residents often feel isolated and lonely.

The reason for that is the sentience "ambrosium" that has fused with the DNA of the humans of Moirai over the centuries has created a sort of psychic lattice network of community sentience throughout the Moirai. They know when something is out of balance within the clans. As a result, despite there being three clans, they are more like a interconnected family with different abilities, all of which keep their society running like clock work. This ability also connects them to the sentience of the planet, making them realize that their planet is a living thing and therefore they take care it it. As of yet, it has not proved to be malignent.

Because of its location and a heady haze of intergalatic debris and dust in space, Moirai has not known many invaders or visitors but because of the legend, they have a ferocious border defence program and a particularly ruthless unit within the military trained to protect Moirai at all costs.

Abrosium has also changed the human colony of this planet over the generations. At first, the humans experianced a sense of well-being, good health and longevity, but then, over centuries, the humans of Moirai stopped getting sick, their serious wounds healed quickly and their aging slowed down significantly. Whether the Moirai legecy of the clans and their traits are a result of the planet or of a change to fate due to the time travel undertaken by their 3 ancestors is currently unknown.

The Moirai Legend

Once, when the Earth was very young and the Universe very old, three travelers from the future came to mold the past to ensure their races survival. They were the Moirai, an advanced human civilization evolved from a human colony formed on Planet Moirai Major only 900 years before the destruction of Earth. Whereas the Moirai are descendent from human beings, the planet that they inhabited already had a sentinent life form present, Ambroisium, a nature-based microbe that infected the hosts and, over generations, fused with their very DNA. The Children of Moirai age very slowly, sometimes living for a number of centuries before dying and are incredibly strong and heal rapidly. When the Ancient (or rather, new) Greek civilization saw that they could not be harmed by their swords, spears and other archiaic (or advanced) weapons, they believed them Gods. But the Moirai can die. Oh, they can die such horrible deaths. Maybe not easily but, as the Atropian prophecy fortold, they did die most painfully in the Ananke War against an enemy they called the Unforeseen. Only a handful survived and scattered across the universe. But one member from each of the three great families escaped and time traveled together to the past. They were Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos. There they sowed the seeds of their "human" bloodline and embedded the future races survival. They lived their long lives umong the humans, subtlely influcing their fate, getting the name "the Moirai" (The Fates) from them and teaching them a great many things and, in the process, (re)creating their race's future but with subtle--accidental--changes.     

Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos passed into legend (and one might wonder how anyone could even remember it) but their race survived. The three families were now three clans-yes, Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. They controlled the metaphorical thread of life of every mortal on Moirai Major and those who were bound to their bloodline from birth to death no matter how far into the future or past. They were independent, at the helm of necessity, directed fate, and watched that the fate assigned to every being by eternal laws might take its course without obstruction.

Whether the sentinent being within the planet inbued them with the powers to "see" either the past, present or future (each clan has one of those gifts but not all) or their time traveling infused their future selves with these abilities by changing the future, is unknown.

The Moirai believe in the concept of a universal principle of natural order which relies on each clan doing their part to make this process work.
