Once upon a time, the universe was like a creepy cabin in the woods—vast, dark, and off-limits. Then SURBLICK GIGLER, Nikola Tesla’s first alien form, created the ASTRONOMICON, an infinite map of every habitable world in the cosmos. The galaxy flourished.
Then came the OCTOLUMINATY—eight self-aware AI mechanoids built by long-dead civilizations. They stole the Astronomicon, founded UTS (Universal Travel Services), and monopolized galactic travel. Private ship ownership was banned, replaced by overpriced leases and mandatory FUEL-STICKS. ASTRO-COORDINATES became currency.
To protect the Astronomicon, the Octoluminaty created CACTINA, a plant-based synthetic intelligence stationed aboard the OCTO-π, the only ship powered by JUMP-STICKS. But Cactina went rogue, hijacked the Astronomicon, and vanished.
Today, the galaxy is a patchwork of fuel-station planets, dealership worlds, and endless interstellar traffic. And when travelers fall behind on their spaceship payments, SPACE REPO comes calling—towing their rides mid-orbit and leaving them stranded light-years from home.
Welcome to the travel-centric universe of SPACE REPO.
