 Envisioned originally as an interstellar assault fortress, Null - known colloquially as 'the shooter' by its residents is a transport system mass-driver, allowing extended throughout Aleph. Envisioned originally as an interstellar assault fortress, Null - known colloquially as 'the shooter' by its residents is a transport system mass-driver, allowing extended throughout Aleph.

-Null serves a dry-dock for Albion - birthing great vessels, stations and structures throughout the system. It is known particularly for its specialty orbit which captures the stream of raw sheoul ores excavated explosively from Thunderhead which fall into Albion's orbit - and was itself built around such a deposit. Null is unsafe for extended stay for many organic species due to the massive radiences it experiences and the enormous aeon concentration around it which make Null one of the most potent areas for magic use in all of Aleph. +Null serves a dry-dock for Albion - birthing great vessels, stations and structures throughout the system.

 As such, Aleph features one of the greatest magic universities in all of Aleph, filled with scholars determined to understand the nature of magic and study its vast and misunderstood history - gathering some of the greatest minds in the system who put their health at risk in pursuit of their field. As such, Aleph features one of the greatest magic universities in all of Aleph, filled with scholars determined to understand the nature of magic and study its vast and misunderstood history - gathering some of the greatest minds in the system who put their health at risk in pursuit of their field.

 Since then, it has evolved into an all-encompassing slogan which promotes individuality, expressionism, local art as well as atypical life-style choices and leisure activities. The slogan inspires articles and debate which desperately attempt to quantify at a precise level exactly just how weird and eccentric None actually is on a regular basis.  Since then, it has evolved into an all-encompassing slogan which promotes individuality, expressionism, local art as well as atypical life-style choices and leisure activities.

 Whisper is named as such due to its exposure to the vacuum and its lack of sound. Its inhabitants almost constantly wear some variant of space-suit and exposure to vacuum is extremely common even in sealed areas due to containment failures which are expected - caused by the impact of sheoul asteroids striking Null's surface - signalling money to be made. Whisper is named as such due to its exposure to the vacuum and its lack of sound.

-Whisper particularly, is home to a number of sheoulsmiths and aeonsmiths who work here specifically as their recovery of the sheoul is untaxed and unregulated - allowing for some very exotic and potentially illegal research and investigation into the production of aeon weaponary, entropy systems and magical equipment. This equipment is all unregulated and is not necessarily reliable. +Whisper particularly, is home to a number of sheoulsmiths who work here specifically as their recovery of the sheoul is untaxed and unregulated - allowing for some very exotic and potentially illegal research and investigation into the production of specialist weaponary, entropy systems and magical equipment.

 Life in Whisper is difficult, claustrophobic and dirty, with regolith finding its way into everything. Those who live here long enough experience their hair and skin leeched of its melanin due to regolith exposure and their eyes and veins a brilliant blue caused by regolith dyeing. Tooth pain and joint pain is also very common caused by regolith exposure and muscle wastage is common. Those growing up here are often very short or skinny and quite tall with unusual proportions caused by the gravitational tides of Null. Life in Whisper is difficult, claustrophobic and dirty, with regolith finding its way into everything.

-Branching from Alpha, Downtown is a neighboring tower. It is a mecca for nerds and geeks who can get access to components very cheaply via wholesale and as such many engineering teams for larger corporations prototype specialty components here before then sending schematics on for reproduction elsewhere. It is affectionately known as "the port area" and "aeon valley" as the location shifted from its original purpose of agriculture (which as Downtown arose, replaced the military manufacturing area in southside as Riverside). Being incredibly well defended, Null's Downtown is an ideal place for secretive tech groups to research.+Branching from Alpha, Downtown is a neighboring tower.
