The Silver Moon

The Silver Moon is a gigantic mechanical satellite currently orbiting Earth 00A. From afar, it appears to be a normal-looking moon, but under the surface, it is a complex network of technology that serves as an extremely powerful quantum computer capable of predicting any attack made against it to a near-perfect degree and teleport as a response.

## Origin

The Silver Moon was originally the battle station for Josh, one of the Gods dethroned in the War of Gods. During the War, the moon did not exhibit an offensive function. Rather, it was purely defense-oriented. It was one of the most technologically advanced creations of its time, leading some to think its technology was related to the work of the Artificer. Before being converted into a machine, the Silver Moon was a naturally occurring moon that orbited Earth farther out than the Dark Moon. It is unknown if the Grand Sun was installed in the moon or if Josh put it there.

The moon served as a near-impenetrable bastion for Josh and his crew during the War, but during the final battle of the War he was lured out by the riches of Isibathi and was destroyed, leaving the Silver Moon abandoned.

After the War, the Silver Moon was left to the mercy of it's decent AI. Josh didn't know much about computers, so the entirety of the processes on the Silver Moon are programmed in JavaScript. While this is mostly inefficient, the sheer size and power of the Silver Moon still make it the most powerful computer in the Crunkiverse, besides the Dell All-in-One found in the Library of Crunk. Currently, the Chunk Algorithm is rumored to have plans to re-purpose the moon to run Windows 9 instead, increasing its power enough to compute the equation of Crunktropolis Craig.

Currently, the moon runs autonomously off the AI from the War of Gods, but over time it's ability to detect threats has decreased slightly such that it can teleport in response to nonexistent threats from time to time. This creates an interesting phenomena where the moons position in the sky changes drastically and randomly every week or so. This has created a cult following of Silver Moon fanatics that believe ones personal traits are based on the Silver Moons position when you're born. Recent studies suggest there may be some truth to these claims, with studies suggesting that a special wave emitted by the Silver Moon does indeed change the brain chemical balance to some degree in infants. This special radiation has been dubbed "moon waves".

## Description

The Silver Moon is the smallest moon of Earth, with a 700 mile diameter. Despite this size, the surface of the moon makes it the brightest moon of Earth. The surface of the moon is primarily a fine dust with reflective properties, making it appear slightly shinier in the night sky compared to other celestial objects. Inside, however, is a vast network of advanced circuitry and processors with an interwoven magnetic rail system that allows for quick travel throughout the moon.

## Abilities

The primary feature of the Silver Moon is it's ability to teleport. This is thought to be done through large-scale quantum tunneling, mimicking the ability of an electron to change positions instantly. It is thought that its core, the Grand Sun, is the main source of this anomaly, with the most commonly accept theory put forward by the Professor, stating that the Grand Sun has the ability to entangle the whole Silver Moon with another random satellite orbiting the Earth, and through some catalyst creates a teleport that swaps the place of the Sliver Moon and the object. This creates the seemingly random movement of the moon across the sky.

The Silver Moons AI, while outdated, has access to some of the most sophisticated processing power and gadgets in the Crunkiverse despite its age. While originally thought to be dormant beyond its defense system, the AI has created a new defense protocol since the Crunch. It has gained the ability to produce autonomous robots, with the only known case of this being the Silver Moon Droid. Due to the droid inhabiting an S-Class danger zone, research towards finding the limits of this ability has not progressed. The accepted theory is that the Silver Moon Droid was created to combat a Hell Guardian attacking the Silver Moon, but due to the bad AI of the Silver Moon Droid it hasn't made any effort to attack the demon since its creation.

## The Grand Sun

The Grand Sun is the most powerful Aether Core to ever exist, and it is currently the sole power source of the Silver Moon. Experts estimate the power of this core could power the moon for the next 5 trillion years, and the potency of its power could defeat Gods. However, experts cannot explain how an Aether Core of this size has not collapsed upon itself. Normally, an Existence Factor this high would cause it to stop existing altogether, but somehow the Grand Sun is completely stable. If the Grand Sun ever loses its stability, it could destroy Earth and the surrounding planets. It is thought that it's sheer mass of energy has the ability to stabilize nearby quantum fields, making some theoretical particles real and some real particles theoretical. This is to say, physics in the area surrounding the Grand Sun is barely understood. That said, its abilities to bend reality at the quantum level can be seen in its teleportation abilities. The Grand Sun is thought to be the main goal of the Hell Guardian attacking the moon, as many attacks on the moon in across post-War history have been in pursuit of the Grand Sun.
