Tubeverse

## What is Tubeverse?

Tubeverse is a series created by ThatTube primarily set in a sci-fi future. Stories in this verse focus heavily on the planet Dunem, home of the dunemishkin. The main universe for this is universe 107 however other universes exist as a way to explore potential "what ifs" or alternate histories. While the main focus is on dunem there are other locations and species around and these locations each have their own history.

Tubeverse is considered its own thing by its creator however crossovers with other elements of the wider "slouchverse" are encouraged and acknowledged. The "tube interpretation" for how tubeverse fits into the wider slouch verse is that slouchverse is an onmiverse/father universe while tubeverse would be a multiverse/mother universe and individual elements of that multiverse, such as universe 107 or other alternate universes are their own universes contained within tubeverse itself.

## Universe 107

The main universe for tubeverse. This is the main timeline and all stories that are confirmed to take place in this universe can be considered canon.

## Alternate universes

As well as universe 107 there are a variety of alternate universes with differences in characters or their history.

## Universal century and "time keeping"

Due to the scale of the dunem empire a system of time keeping was derrived to provide an agreed upon date and time across the whole empire. While each planet has it's own unique calender and timezones the central "universal century" timezone represents time across the whole empire, and has become the unofficial timezone of space used in the various space stations or hive stations created by the dunemishkin.

Universal century time is based on how many hours have passed since the day of the first space station being built and launched by the dunemishkin, starting at uc0 and increasing by a value of 1 every year that passes (based on dunem time). The current era is UC12 which translates to 1997 on dunem or sometime in the late 2200s or early 2300s on earth.

## Main planets/locations

Within tubeverse there are a few influential planets or locations. These planets are home to a variety of unique species and many of them act as the capital of larger species empires

### Empires

* Dunem Empire- Ruled by the 7 major rulers of dunem this empire spans multiple solar systems and also controls multiple space stations of varkous sizes. Known for its incredibly advanced technology and the strength of its ruling species the dunem empire is the first and strongest of the 3 major empires.
* Izishalan Alliance- An alliance of planets united under the Izishalan Chairman. This is a smaller scale empire and only has a few planets in its control but their willingness to accept and work with other species as equals rather than subjects makes the alliance an appealing group to join
* Terran Union- A union of planets and small solar systems controlled by humanity. This empire is the newest of the 3 major empires but humanities adaptivity and enginuity has allowed them to build colonies on planets other species have deemed uninhabitable. While they're not at the top in terms of their own tech humans are more than capable of taking other species technology and reverse engineering it or implementing it into their own, which has allowed them to quickly become alot more influential than other similar species

### Planets

* Dunem- A desert planet located in the andromeda galaxy, home of the highly advanced dunemishkin this planet is ruled by a group incredibly powerful and influential monarchs in what is essentially a form of neo-feudalism. The planet has 7 regions each controlled by their own respective ruling family and these families unite to control the larger "dunem empire" with dunem as their capital planet.
* Earth- It's earth, but a couple 100 years in the future. Now operating under a one world government refered to as the "terran union" humanity is united under one banner as they travel through space, with earth as the capital of their empire.

### Hivestations

* Suburya- Formerly known as Mokoya this was the the first (and last) hivestation project of its scale this station was built by the dunemishkin in UC7 to house potentially billions of people, being closer to an artificial planet more than a space station. This station eventually fought the dunem empire and managed to defeat it gaining independence. As time went on the station increased in size as the people continued throwing whatever scraps they could onto it to improve or expand on the design and the evolution of language and the introduction of new species eventually lead to the station taking on a new name, Suburya. Old ships, smaller space stations, destroyed mechs, destoyed bio-domes or artificial environments you name it and it can be found in Suburya.

## Space viability and species

As well as the various planets on tubeverse there are several sentient species living within it. These are sorted by "space viability" which fits into 3 main tiers and represents how capable they are in terms of space travel and settlement.

### Fully space viable

Any species that is capable of producing the technology needs to travelling through space and settle on other planets.

* Dunemishkin- Native to the planet dunem and known for their tech and strength. This species is one of the most influential across space having an empire spanning dozens of galaxies. The species name translates to "children of sand" in their language and represents their ties to the desert. One notable feature of the dunemishkin is the size and strength of the species women, each one standing significantly taller than most humans
* Humans- Humanity, also known as Terrans. Humanity has experienced some micro-evolution as time has gone on but look like you'd expect them to. There really isn't much to say about humans 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 eyes, nothing notable at all really just a blank slate with their one notable feature being their incredible adaptivity.
* Izishalan- A plant like species initially built as slaves, they fought their creators and claimed their freedom through war, building a new better society in place of the one they broke down. This species is notable for its incredibly long lifespan with each one being able to live for 100s of years if left unharmed, they're also capable of regenerating lost limbs and heal from injuries so long as most of their body is still intact

### Semi space viable

A species capable of producing the technology necessary to travel through space, but not the technology to settle on other planets.

* Dieselsapiens- A slime like species produced from the remains of a planet destroyed by war. This species salvaged technology from other species that fell onto their planet to gain access to space travel, reverse engineering it and learning to build it on their own. This species is entirely artificial made from a mix of fuel, oils, organic matter and an unknown form of radiation. They're capable of limited shapeshifting but cannot change their form without either removing or adding material.
* Krakein- An acquatic species discovered by the dunemishkin during their travels. This species is known for it's many varients/sub species (such as pgym krakein, goliath krakein, lumionous krakein etc) and their squid or octopi like appearences. They became allies with the dunemishkin through a mutal agreement to share finds with one another exchanging locations of desert like planets for locations of ocean planets, a deal that benefits both sides. While their tech is "capable" of allowing settlement on other planets they much prefer to use modified dunemishkin technology and frequently work with dunemishkin engineers to build new tech as their knowledge is incredibly valuable to the Krakein.

### Pseudo space viable

A species that relies on other species to travel through space, they cannot produce this technology on their own and would otherwise be incapable of space travel without their support
