Geba (Planet)
Alias: The Failed Star, The Parent of Children Affiliation: Geban Empire
Geba is a brown-dwarf world with a radius of 88,971 km and high gravity requiring human adaptation, orbited by three Child stars: Izhara (white-blue, closest, drives daylight and storms), Zhaerys (orange-red, slow orbit, stabilizes seasons), and Saethern (silver, fixed over the south pole). The Velcrith stabilized its moons for life to emerge. A 32-hour imperial day is measured by Izhara over the capital, with a 520-day year (16 months alternating 33/32 days) marked by Izhara–Zhaerys eclipse. Illumination varies regionally with no global day-night cycle. The planet’s immense scale fosters extreme diversity across 11 continents, home to all ethnicities: Gebans, Thazvaaris, Yuvaaris, Ngorrhali (including Frost Sentinels and tribal), Jeyrhan, Berinese, Kelan, Ukhaal Walkers, and Neron, alongside flora like Emberbriar and fauna such as Goldenwing birds and titanbirds. Vast distances necessitate mega-relay networks for communication and travel, shaping a society of specialized adaptations, imperial unification, and cultural exchange where high gravity strengthens builds and massive biomes drive innovation in survival and transport.
Vesselborn is the story of Geba — a world that has carried an empire for six thousand years.
It begins with Vaer’karesh, who unites five nations into the first empire and fixes a common language and law. Across the ages, the empire fights and finally breaks Thazvaar, welcomes Jeyrha through engineering and diplomacy, and liberates Berinu by choice. In Ngorrhal, the people of the mountain passes lose their ancestral name and are permanently renamed the Frost Sentinels, whose strength helps secure imperial rule. The Haavu cannon systems cement that dominance.
At its height, the empire spans continents and raises relay towers that bind cities, coasts, and passes into one network. Assassinations and civil wars follow — the Fracture — but the answer is not a vacuum. The Shadow Rule forms from imperial networks and manufactures peace, ending the warlord broadcasts and taking the world back from collapse. They are the empire made quiet: continuity without ceremony.
Today, the Shadow Rulers still govern from the background while the Energy Wars — covert struggles over power grids and relays in uncivilized regions — decide who controls energy, transport, and culture.
Stories range from relay-field defenses and inland recoveries to city governance and frontier resettlement; from rail lines and air programs that stitch regions together to festivals and work crews where culture and politics collide; from Frost Sentinel memory to families choosing the safety of hub clearings or the risk beyond the grid.
This is Geba. It began in silence. It has not yet ended.
