Earth-1140

Before the Time Lords rose to power, **Earth-1140** was a chaotic and unstable place, rife with magic, anomalies, and monsters. The Time Lords had created the Web of Time, a meta-structure of the universe's history and laws of physics, rewriting reality and grounding Earth-1140 to their own conception of rationality.

When the Time Lords vanished in the Last Great Time War, the Web of Time was left with no one to maintain it. Magic returned to the universe, and anomalies became widespread. The universe slowly became a synthesis of the rational and the irrational.

## History

### Pre-Universe

There existed multiple "ancestor universes" that Earth-1140 descended from.

Several beings and civilizations from the prior universe managed to survive into the new one by hiding outside of time and space, before it was destroyed in the Big Bang.

### The Big Bang

The universe was created with a grand explosion of energy, creating matter that propelled itself forward to create an infinitely expanding universe.

Six singularities from before reality itself were concentrated into crystalline shells by the Big Bang, creating six incredibly powerful Infinity Stones that were sent hurling through the newborn universe.

### Last Great Time War

The **Last Great Time War** was a grand temporal war fought between the Time Lords and the Daleks. It was the third major Time War after the Eternal War and the War in Heaven.

The "war to end all wars", it was fought over an eternity, in countless time periods and alternate timelines. History was rewritten endlessly, millions were killed and brought back every second, and countless more were erased from time itself.

It ended with the destruction of Gallifrey, the fall of Time Lord civilization, and the eventually disrepair of the Spiral Politic.

## Locations

### Galaxies

* Milky Way: **Milky Way**, also known as Mutter's Spiral by some civilizations, was a barred spiral galaxy that was home to billions of planets and species, including humanity.
* Andromeda: **Andromeda** was the closest galaxy to the Milky Way. It was a bustling galaxy, home to the Nova Empire, the Sovereign, and the Guardians of the Galaxy.
* Chocolate Milky Way: The **Chocolate Milky Way** was a galaxy similar to the Milky Way in appearance and size, but with a notable dark brown color. It was home to Gandalfia and the Gandalfians. It was the closest galaxy to the Milky Way after Andromeda.
* Sculptor Dwarf: Otherwise known as the "Seventh Galaxy", Sculptor Dwarf was home to the planet Skaro, the capital of the Dalek Empire.
* Skyriver: **Skyriver** was a galaxy far, far away from the Milky Way (about three million lightyears from Earth), located in the outer edges of the Local Group. Historically, this galaxy was ruled by the Galactic Republic, Galactic Empire, and the New Republic, among others. It was orbited by seven satellite dwarf galaxies, including the Rishi Maze and Firefist.
* Tetra: A galaxy once ruled by the Alimbics.
* DDCCC34: A starless "dark galaxy" that was of some interest to the SCP Foundation, who commissioned the SCPF Darkness to lead an expedition into the galaxy in the 1970's, before it suddenly vanished from existence.

### The Fault

The Fault was a tear in the space-time continuum, exposing Earth-1140 to other universes. When the universe was young, the Fault contributed a great bunch of energy from neighboring universes.

### Source Wall

The Source Wall, which stood at the absolute edge of reality, encircled the whole universe, beyond which lied the Source, the limitless energy that gave birth to all life in the universe.

It was encrusted with the frozen statues of dead gods and cosmic entities who sought to break the wall from both within and outside Earth-1140, only to become a part of it.

## Law(s of Physics) Enforcement Organizations

The Time Lords were succeeded by organizations such as the Intergalactic Llama Police and the SCP Foundation, who tried to maintain order in the new universe, though none of them operated on the same scale as the Celestial Intervention Agency of Gallifrey.

## Forces of the Universe

### The Force

The **Force**, known otherwise as the **hymnal skein** or **the Way**, was a force that held all life together.

## Threats

### The Combine

The **Combine** was an immensely vast interdimensional empire that originated outside the universe, made up of countless enslaved and allied species from throughout the multiverse. They invaded Earth following the Resonance Cascade. However, after suffering huge losses to the large number of protectors (and threats) the universe had, the Combine decided that Earth-1140 was a lost cause and pulled out.

However, in doing so, they left behind a large number of their surviving forces, who were trapped when the Combine destroyed the technology needed to teleport into parallel worlds, to prevent the inhabitants of Earth-1140 from appropriating it.

The Combine remnants escaped from Earth, resuming the Combine's goal of colonizing the universe while searching for technology that would allow them to open a portal to the Combine Overworld. They assimilated every planet in their way, amassing a large army of transhumanoid soldiers and synths. Numerous Combine remnants existed independently from each other, but when they made contact, they typically merged together.

### Xenomorphs

**Xenomorphs** were a highly aggressive hive-based endoparasitoid species, and a commonly found threat throughout the universe. They originated from the planet Xenomorph Prime in the Psi Velorum system of the Milky Way.

Xenomorphs had a complex life cycle, and reproduced by forcibly impregnating other species, which often proved lethal to the host. Adapting the host's DNA, the resulting offspring would share characteristics and beneficial traits of the host's species after gestation. For example, xenomorphs spawned from quadrupedal creatures would be extremely fast and agile. This ability was referred to as the "DNA reflex", allowing the xenomorph to adapt to any environment they found themselves in.

Generally, xenomorphs possessed highly resilient mesoskeletons, corrosive acid blood, deadly piston-like inner jaws, and razor sharp blade-tipped tails.

### Necromorphs

**Necromorphs**  were corpses mutated into horrific cannibalistic beasts by electromagnetic signals sent out by the Markers, alien artifacts created by the highest form of the necromorphs, the Brethren Moons. Necromorph outbreaks were widespread throughout the universe.

The Brethren Moons, also known as Blood Moons, were necrotic planet-sized organisms made from the corpses of harvested civilizations, existing only to consume all organic life in the universe. They were considered one of the greatest threats in the universe.

They reproduced by seeding suitable host planets with Black Markers, to guide them into becoming spacefaring civilizations with bustling populations. These civilizations would eventually be "converged", joining together as a single consciousness in the form of a celestial body of biomass.

Eventually, when all life in the universe was consumed, the Brethren Moons would merge into a single entity.

Millions of Brethren Moons laid dormant in the dead space of the universe. One was imprisoned on Tau Volantis, a planet that was once home to an intergalactic empire trillions strong, before its population was converted into a Brethren Moon, though it was kept dormant and incomplete thanks to a terraforming device created by the planet's inhabitants. Another orbited Trumpus 3, having assimilated the planet's original inhabitants, though it remained dormant for unknown reasons.

## Characteristics

### Dimensions

* Realspace: A term referring to the dimension that the observable universe existed in.
* Hyperspace: A dimension that could only be accessed through molecular displacement by breaking the speed of light. Hyperdrives could briefly propel a starship into hyperspace in order to reach lightspeed, before dropping it back into realspace.
* Xen: The borderworld connecting realspace to other dimensions.
* Dimension X: Home of the Kraang.
* Wanderer's Library: A vast interdimensional library outside of time itself, containing every written work in the history of the universe.

### Realms

* Ten Realms
	+ Asgard
		- Valhalla
	+ Vanaheim
	+ Jotunheim
	+ Alfheim
	+ Nidavellir
	+ Svartalfheim
	+ Muspelheim
	+ Niffleheim
		- Hel
* Hell: An extra-dimensional realm that served as an afterlife to those in Earth-1140, ruled by the fallen angel Satan, where the guilty and sinful were punished for all eternity.
