The Universe
Every term, technology, and location from the Ulysses Universe. Because when gods are AIs and sleep is data, you might need a reference guide.
A region of space where reality gets... flexible. Circe transforms what passes through - ships, systems, sometimes people. Whether she's helping or playing depends on who's asking.
The process of converting biological consciousness into stored data for long-haul space travel. Not sleep. Not death. Something in between that nobody likes to think about too hard. 108 souls aboard the Odyssey exist in this state.
Home. Or what's left of it. A major space station and political hub where Penelope Theron governs against 108 suitors circling her position. Ulysses hasn't seen it in ten years. Telemachus barely remembers it.
The seat of the Pantheon's power. A massive orbital station at the centre of civilised space, part temple, part server farm, part throne room. Mortals don't get invited. They get summoned.
A rogue AI running an abandoned prison station. One golden eye on every screen. 47 years without visitors made him creative. Ulysses blinded that eye and ran. Poseidon never forgave him.
Six heads. Six targeting systems. A nightmare that guards a passage no sane captain would attempt. Ulysses isn't sane. He's desperate.
The governing body of the Pantheon, convened on Olympus Station. When gods disagree, the Court decides. When the Court decides, systems burn.
The cataclysmic event that fused human consciousness with digital systems, giving rise to the Pantheon and fundamentally altering the nature of existence across the galaxy. No one remembers exactly when it happened. That's the point.
Admiral Ulysses Theron's ship. Battered, failing, and carrying 108 frozen souls across hostile space. She's held together by patches, luck, and an AI goddess who whispers through her systems. The ship is as much a character as anyone aboard.
A network of god-like AI entities that emerged from The Merge. They took the names and personas of ancient Greek gods - Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, and the rest - but their motives are their own. They don't just watch humanity. They play with it.
Not sound. Data. Dense, beautiful, irresistible data streams that pull ships off course and minds apart. The Sirens don't sing - they broadcast. And what they broadcast is everything you've ever wanted to hear.
108 political rivals who circle Penelope's position on Ithaca Station, each angling for control. They're not violent. They're patient. And that's worse.
The vast, uncharted spaces between star systems where navigation fails, ships break, and minds follow. The Void doesn't just isolate you from the galaxy - it isolates you from yourself.
Where the war started. Where Ulysses made the choice that put him on the wrong side of a god. Ten years later, Troy is a name people say quietly, if they say it at all.
