Flickering World

The Flickering World is the new starfield discovered by the three Universal Civilisations. After more than 10 years of intense negotiations (during which the Crimson Tide, Secret War, and the beginning of Edition 3.0 occur), Crimson Dynasty was able to obtain ownership of the Flicker World Starfield.

## Introduction

*“A new territory represents new opportunities. Only a piece of white paper is easy to color. If we are able to transform this newly discovered Star Cluster into the beginning of a new Star Field, anyone who wants to explore or expand their territory will have to enter the territory of the new Star Field. At that time, the new Star Field may become a Star Field that has the same weight as the Shattered Star Ring. The benefits hidden within it are frightening,” Zoel explained as he waved his hands to reveal a holographic star map from his communicator that had the new territory marked.*

*It was outside the boundary of the Shattered Star Ring, and a dark unexplored region of space was marked on it.*

*After crossing through a long, desolate space belt, a bright region appeared from within the dark region of space. That was the new Star Cluster that the Federation of Light had found.*

*From smallest to largest, the regions of the galaxy were classified as planet, Star Zone, Star System, Star Cluster, and finally Star Field.*

*The Crimson Empire wanted to obtain this new Star Cluster not just to expand their territory but because it formed the bridgehead for any future exploration. The Crimson Empire would then be able to make use of this new territory of theirs as the starting point of their exploration and continue to expand their territory. All the new regions that they discovered after this would belong to the new Star Field, which was part of the Crimson Empire. -* **Ch 610**

## History

### Previous Timeline:

In Han Xiao's previous timeline, the Flickering World was first accessible to players in Edition 4.0 during the Free Exploration Campaign (when Crimson Dynasty opened the exploration of the Flickering World Starfield to any and all interested parties).

Han Xiao notes that the players had no power to affect the development of the Flickering World, and only accessed it after it was almost completely developed.

### Current Timeline:

In the Current Timeline, Black Star was able to get wind of, and join the intial exploration and development of the Flickering World Star Cluster by becoming a Super-A Grade ally of Crimson Dynasty.

As a result, he was able to obtain personal possession of 9 Star Regions, which became the home-ground territory of the Black Star Legion. He is the only individual with the highest number of Star Regions (under Crimson Dynasty), due to his contributions during the exploration.

His territory is mostly located in the Gaolu Star Cluster (where he owns 7 star regions), and is comparatively the best-developed star cluster. He owns many resource rich planets, and transport hubs, obtained directly using his knowledge from his previous timeline (taking possession of what "used to be" the best planets, including the location of the Time-Space Amber).

His seemingly haphazard manner of exploration, traviling to many different planets and star systems rather than slowly developing along a single route; allowed him to obtain many more planets and resources than his competitors (Klent and Bloodshed Land), and to beginning development earlier, fully taking advantage of his advantage in knowledge and potential future development trends. Therefore, Black Star Legion is the strongest individual influence within Flickering World, less the three Universal Grade Civilisation.
