NANUETTA-HF

Nanuetta-HF (JP: ナヌエタ *nanuetta*), is an Ancient colony.

Nanuetta-HF is the planet where the Ancient have settled during the events prior to the KOSMOS Saga, during A.T. 29th century. Half of the Ancients, (and by extension, the Artifices), settled on Nanuetta while the other half departed for another universe.

It is described as a rather small planet, with very unique atmosphere rayleigh, composed of purples and oranges. It is also the only planet with a tremendous abondance of Ether, so much in fact that Ether Crystals can form. They are known to be created with very high pressure and temperature over time, just like other crystals such as diamonds. Ether Crystals are commonplace on Nanuetta.

The planet is said to have 5 moons orbiting it, contributing to extremely vigorous tides and ocean levels shifts. Its actual location is debated, because for some reason it keeps changing positions on a star chart and it's impossible to pinpoint it down. Most star charts in fact, do not even detect the planet. This phenomenon was created by the Apocrypha to seclude the Ancients from Human cycles, so they can hopefully live separately without ever knowing each other.

Nanuetta is divided into four regions:

* The Altissia continent, which contains the nations of the Altissia Kingdom, Tabra, Azaar and Lurel.
* The Miriam Nation of the North Pole.
* The Odelia Nation of the South Pole.
* The Akkalan Archipelago, within it the Nation of Ma'acrish.

These nations used to be close to each other, however due to plate tectonics over the course of billions of years, the regions have slowly spread apart, causing the creation of massive oceans.

Nanuetta has seen several events and conflicts occur on its soil, since its settlement by the Ancient.

## Background

* In Galaxy Travail
* In the KOSMOS Saga

Even before the timeline of events for Galaxy Travail take place, the host star of Nanuetta-HF started to die and enter its brown dwarf era. This drastically changed the planet's weather and conditions, but not too suddenly for the Ancients, as they were able to biologically adapt with the harsher climate over time, since the dying process of the star was slow in the grand scheme of time.

The Ancients have always lived peacefully, until they came into contact with the Earth Federation, which was very power hungry. Noticing the interesting technology the Ancients had, the Arians decide to engage in a conflict of information war and espionage, which created the Ancient-Federation Conflict and its many following events, where the Ancients ultimately defeat the Earth Federation and get rid of their presence on Nanuetta.

The Arians that have settled on Nanuetta however, tried to create Artifices, just like the Ancients do. This was not possible so thanks to their previous espionnage work, they conceive a new race, the Appharacts. A sort of sister synthetic race to the Artifices. The Ancients immediately retaliate by confiscating the technology and locking down the creation of Appharacts into their own hands.

The Miktam, being in possession of the Apocrypha relic and having a well established communication line with the Ancients, have agreed that the best course of action would be to give the Ancients the relic, so they could safeguard it as they have always done, since they are very intimate with how it function after all the generations that have passed. During the transport, the Earth Federation intervenes and tries to retrieve the Apocrypha, and the Ancient get involved by deploying their bleeding tech warfare machines, and eventually put a stop into the conflict, with the major downside of the Apocrypha now not being in the hands of either camps.

Later on, the Abbeh Fleet find the relic adrift in space, and retrieve it. Due to their lack of knowledge, they activate the relic and awaken the consciousness within that was in deep slumber, taking the appearance of an Artifice, Épiphanée enters in the scene. She takes the Apocrypha for herself and make a detour to Nanuetta to explain the situtation, and that this time, she will be on neither side and may even attack the Ancients may they cross paths with her. She leaves to establish the Apocrypha Assembly Authority on Thaellia-CF.

The Ancients establish a line of communication and trade with all other civilisations and becomes the backbone of an united and harmonised galactic culture. As the Fifth World War breaks out, some leaders from all major Authorities create the Starfall Foundation, in the hopes to end the wrongdoings of the Earth Federation, once and for all. A good amount of Ancients and Artifices felt invested in the endeavour and established in a very short manner the Academy and the Headquarters on the Aeios planet.

### Pre-KOSMOS era

**The Distant Past (A.T. 3000) :**

*The Ancient civilisation settles on Nanuetta. Ether en masse can be found and becomes the central component of the newly formed civilisation. The Kingdom of Altissia is established on the main continent.*

**The Sororian Exodus (A.T. 3008) :**

*The Sororian, an artificial sub-race of the Ancient, were being decimated under a genocide by the first cycle of humanity, which attacked them in order to obtain their resources and most importantly, the Ancient technology relating to the KOSMOS Mainframe which the civilisation had parts of the machine. The Boltian have exiled themselves to the Nanuetta planet in order to find refuge amongst their creators. The issue of the events have caused the first collective unconscious reset that Melia triggered herself over hearing about the event.*

*The Nanuetta Domini (N.D.) calendar starts soon after the year A.T. 3010. The Empire of Odelia on the East Continent is established alongside the Empire of Miriam on the Northern Continent, making up the three major factions of Nanuetta at the time.*

**The Odelia First War (N.D. 10019) :**

*The Empire of Odelia, needed more land for its exploding population and civilisation that grew too fast for their soil to keep up. They have sent a full-scale invasion on the vast lands of the Altissia Kingdom. Due to Altissia's lack of technological might compared to the very advanced Odelia Empire, the Eastern region of Altissia falls under its siege.*

**The Odelia Second War (N.D. 10034) :**

*The Empire of Miriam learns about the first war that waged between Altissia and Odelia. As they have a peace and allyship contract with Altissia, they bring themselves to the front in order to release the Eastern region of Altissia from the Odelia Empire, by launching several attacks. The Eastern region is freed by the Miriam Empire, which forces Odelia to sign a peace treaty to not let the war scale into a full-on world war.*

**The Azaar Expedition (N.D. 10050) :**

*The Empire of Odelia have attempted to conquer the Azaar region, however it is filled with ruins and prevents anyone from settling in, due to the harsher desertic climate on top of it. Several expeditions are launched by the three powerful nations, in order to discover secrets about an old civilisation that perished on these lands. The Altissia family in particular, sends part of their royal family towards the Tabra region, which needs to be entered by the Azaar region.*

**The Great Nanuettian Floods (N.D. 12000) :**

*Nanuetta, due to its many moons, had entered into a chaotic tidal catastrophe, engulfing most of the nations under its waters. only a small plateau, at the centre of the Altissia Kingdom is still above waters. This caused the displacement of millions and destroyed almost all of the Ancient civilisation at the time. Most of the remaining people have either settled on the plateau, or have carved entire cities within its rock.*

### KOSMOS era

**The KOSMOS Episode I story (N.D. 15015) :**

*The first episode of KOSMOS does occurs on Nanuetta, as the Cristal family gives birth to the Melia and Lilea twins, which one of them end up being the Receptacle of the Apocrypha, and the other the biological part of the KOSMOS Mainframe. The Ether research team have also began to start up the mainframe, and the events of the story unfolds, as the twins travel through the Akna Kingdom of Nanuetta. The Ether Research Book is written on Nanuetta during the events of Episode I, by Lashea.*
## **Atmosphere**

Nanuetta-HF has the unique characteristic of having a purple atmosphere, which turns orange at dawn. The night is supposedly longer than the day, which made most living beings nocturnal. The planet has since frozen over before the fourth cycle of humanity began, due to its host star dying into a white dwarf.

After the host star's death, the sky can turn completely white due to the ice age and frequent snowstorms on the planet; which also reduce visibility. Snow on Nanuetta is permanent and everywhere, except on the Akkalan Archipelago, where the volcanic activity makes the area hot enough to melt the snow and turns the snowstorms into rain.
