- "Let me tell you of your cosmos. We live in a spatially infinite, isotropic universe 12.1 billion years old. Its metallicity is ideal for life and for the spread of technological civilizations. In time, the distance between all points in the universe will contract to zero, and the cosmos will collapse into a singularity, to be reborn in fire. There will be no end to eternity here."
- — Mara Sov, addressing the Awoken peoples.
The Distributary is the home planet and universe of the Awoken race.
Overview
In the Distributary's universe, time flows differently, and Awoken society has had thousands upon thousands of years to flourish and build. The centuries in which Humanity suffered the Dark Age saw the exponential growth and abundance of the Awoken in their pocket universe. Only near the end of the Dark Ages were the Awoken able to detect and confirm that they were inside a singularity - identifying this information from bits and pieces of radio transmissions that the singularity ensnared from the solar system.
History
The Distributary's universe was formed as the result of a kugelblitz, a black hole generated from the raw energy of the battle between the Light and Darkness as they fought over the Yang Liwei. As this new universe was born, the crew and passengers of the Yang Liwei' survived within it as disembodied consciousnesses; the first to enter the universe was Mara Sov, followed shortly after by captain Alice Li.
As Alice (now naming herself as Alis) became aware of herself, she subtly shaped the new reality she found herself in, drawing upon memories of her past mission and manifesting a habitable planet within a universe of stars. Alis was reborn as an Awoken on this new world; Mara, who had entered the universe earlier but awakened later, followed Alis shortly after. Together, the two of them called on the rest of the disembodied crew and passengers to be reborn as well, populating the world with 40,891 Awoken.
