"Aww man you're really nutting me off"

In the far future of an interstellar society, commercial transit through normal space becomes impractical. So artificial wormholes serve as a permanently merged point between two regions of space, allowing instant travel between light-years of distance. Saving lifetimes of grueling space travel.

This wormhole was created to merge a roughly 30 lightyear span in space, between Epsilon indi, and Tabit. Allowing travel between the two most remote colonies.

DESC:

We sit on the Epsilon Indi side of the wormhole. Where a passenger liner waits two orbit past and through the wormhole to bring its payload of about 500 souls to their destination. Another star system.

Around the wormhole lay 3 traffic control stations, which can stabilize themselves using the magnetic field around the wormhole, as orbiting it normally may result accidental transit through the wormhole.

In the depths of interplanetary space, starting a work day is a slow process.

Head navigator Marsha uses the time floating through the "foyer" module to let the last of her morning drowsiness alleviate.

The Foyer is the central module of the Wayfarer Red, deep space cargo ship bound for jupiter.

"Below" is the internal cargo and docking module.

"Behind" is the primary habitat, holding the sleeping quarters the contol room and the recreation room, all essential for the 6 month round trip to the Jovian system.

"Ahead" is the reactor control center, responsible for keeping the massive nuclear reactor that provides the Wayfarer Red its colossal power requirements.

Wayfarer Red and other interplanetary vehicles:

Craft such as the Wayfarer Red run circuits to the outer planets constantly. The Wayfarer Red has 2 sister ships, that run its particular cargo circuit. Wayfarer green, which runs more preasureized cargo, such as food, or particular scientific payloads.

And Wayfarer Blue, which prioritizes passenger transport over cargo, mostly running crew rotations for jovian stations.

So I'm opening commissions!!

(If you aren't in the market feel free to share)

So if you need concept art, oc drawings, or just wanna see a fun idea brought to life? Hit me up!

Aliens? Furries? SPACESHIPS?? I GOTCHU!

(Prices below)

Of course I will provide updates and if you need modifications that can be discussed!!

Just DM me and I'll get to working as soon as I can.

The lads are back in town!

An illustration of all the "compatible" races. Compatible meaning can breathe the same atmosphere, of course.

Fērre:

The Fērre hail from the world Fērrum. A world that, much like a rotisserie, rotates very slowly, with about a 1:6 resonance. Making every day a humid windy, and sweaty experience. And every night a frigid rainstorm. Life gets by, by either crawling the canyons and ridges that catch drops of water to lap up, and to avoid the storms. Burrowing to escape the chaotic mornings and evenings. Or ln the colosal Corral like super organisms that dot Fērrum's surface. The Fērre do all of the above. Evolving from mole like creatures, and nomadicaly journeying the surface, to live in the immense corrals. All of these have thrusted the Fērre to become a prominent member of the galactic community.

Shippantii:

The Shippantii's home world, Mui-Mua, is not too dissimilar to Fērrum at surface level, appearing to have little surface water. However this is because most water is located in deep trenchlike rivers across its surface, some of which reach a kilometer deep. Other than the deep trenches, there are also conventional lakes and rivers. The only conventional ocean is about 500 meters deep. Through all of this, life has thrived on the planes canyons and mountains that carve out its elegent surface.

Raeng:

The Raeng's homeworld was poisoned, poisoned with a weak magnetosphere that struggled along for millions of years. Despite this determination, through a combination of the Raeng's destructive industrial revolution, and a particularly violent series of solar flares, their ozone layer disintegrated. Their atmosphere boiled, and the Raeng led a last ditch exodus off their world. Some stayed behind in domed cities, a testbed of later planetary colonies. Some stayed in orbit, built with noxious nuclear rockets, as care for their planet plummeted over care for their own people. Interplanetary colonization was nearly completely unsuccessful, only their moon having a self sufficient but starved mining colony for hundreds of years. Their species fate was doomed until a Fērre survey probe revealed their presence. The resulting mad dash was a mix of first contact excitement, and the want for humanitarian credit for saving a whole species. In the end the Raeng have been spread through the intergalactic network of stations and habitats. A people with no true home. Their homeworld scarred with domes and habitats to attempt mimicking their once vibrant ecosystem. Edit: My little brother designed, and wrote these fellas:)

Humans:

Humans have spread and artificially evolved themselves for various environments. Genetic adaptations are common among different species. But humans are the most numerous who will get their own posts in the future. Along with the planets, they have terraformed systematically unduring earthlife across the galaxy.

Two more doodles from the Fērre world: (I made these months ago, but I just looked forgot I have a tumblr)

1st picture:

A demonstration of the utility of arm horses, for Fērre living on the frontier. A hand shoved made from the scoop of a shovel nosed worm, are often used to carve out ditches to hold out over large sandstorms.

And a young farmer wrangling his first arm horse calf, it may not seem like it but these two will become soul bonded friends down the line.

2nd picture:

A simple lineage of species that eventually led to the glorious beasts that is these glorified footballs with hands.

:Edit I forgot a whole like paragraph:

The colors represent the amount of water/ice on the surface of Fērrum globally. Red tones indicate the low surface water on the face of the world. Mostly condensing in dense surface coral. Or the misty lowland deserts. However there was once a time of great lakes and rivers, even a ice age. But now the global temperature is too high for surface ice.

Human cis lunar orbital settlements in the year 3167.

1st image:

An illustration of the various settlements, soem of which have been in consistent construction and use since the 21st century, mainly malton. Malton Island, started from humble beginnings, as a small research station, known as the lunar gateway, over time a small centrifuge was added, and then another, then in about 120 years the original station merely acted as a docking module for the larger settlement.

Additionally in the background, you can see plumes from fusion drives, accelerating to and from lunar orbit.

2nd image:

A more simple illustration to more clearly show the names populations, and lengths of the stations, or "islands" as residents prefer them to be called.

Extra info:

The exterior of the drums are littered with the marks of corporations, and nations, many of which no longer exist, but are kept as a physical reminder of the rich history that are embroidered on their hulls.

1st image:

A basic look at ferrē anatomy, going layer by layer through their skin...not at all horrifying. They have a membrane of flesh just under the skin which helps filter out the immense amount of water vapor in their atmosphere. Their skeletons are made up of a pyrite based nutrient, rich in their ecosystem.

2nd image:

A look inside one of the many equatorial reefs surrounding the world of the ferrē. The reefs are made up of various colonial super organisms, who's lattice like skeletons are made up of a similar pyrite based substance to the ferrē. Due to the planet's slow rotation and proximity to it's home star, it's days are half the length of it's year. Most of the planet is either 200°f or -120°f, making quite a temperature difference across the day and night side of it's surface. In short the reefs give shelter during the boiling days and freezing nights.

3rd image:

A region known as the northern plateau, and though it's mildly cooler than the equator, the surface Temps still get fairly high. Because of this, plenty creatures are Subterranean borrowers, infact most of the ferrē people came from the northern plateau, evolving from a mole like species who arose during the world's last glacial maximum. Returning to the wildlife, there lives a variety of tree like organisms, who's large mycelium networks provide shelter to burrowing animals, and nutrients to others. Though not all life are burrowers, many thrive on the surface. Bravely facing the humid days and hunkering down for the frigid nights, in a form of hibernation.
