The Soporatus Wiki



Welcome to the The Soporatus Wiki
A unique world featuring two planets, Nidus and Marihm, orbiting a sun who must share a single moon over the course of their existence. Once every five generations (150 Earth years), the moon transfers from one planet to the other in an event known as The Soporatus.

Origin
Before Marihm and Nidus existed in perpindicular orbits and shared a moon, Nidus orbited Via by itself. During that time period, Nidus was largely a culture based upon the genetic technologies that exist on Marihm in the modern era. Behemoth creatures lived symbiotically with the people, granting them safe and fast transportation across the planet, an abundance of sustenance, shelter, and offspring.

The planet Marihm, carrying the moon Sayde, was first seen in this era plummeting toward Nidus' planetary body. Foreseeing the impending doom of their planet as Marihm quickly came closer and closer to contact, the inhabitants of Nidus went into chaos - some panicked and prayed to the gods, few sought shelter, and fewer still searched for a solution through genetically engineered creatures. These new creatures would eventually lead to the colonization of Marihm.

Then, Marihm came. It crashed into the atmosphere of Nidus, shattering its tectonic plates, creating massive electrical storms, conflagration, and destruction. Nidus was torn asunder and set back to the dark ages. Despite the calamities of this event, Sayde saved the planets from complete destruction. The moon switched from Marihm to Nidus, absorbing the brunt of the kinetic energies that would have otherwise cast each planet out of orbit and into oblivion.

From that moment on, The Soporatus (the moon switch) has been an inevitable and vital aspect of life for both Nidus and Marihm who now share one sun and one moon.

Colonization of Marihm
When Marihm first collided with Nidus, people feared that the impact of Marihm would destroy Nidus. A minor portion of the population began engineering behemoth creatures of Nidus into space-vessels that would allow them transit through space. In large part, they succeeded and eventually jumped planets and began inhabiting Marihm after the initial impact.

The genetically engineered creatures, however, could not survive the new climate found on Marihm and eventually perished. The people, however, lived on.
