| Albion is a terrestrial planet located in the [[territories/aleph_cluster|Aleph Cluster]]. Albion and its orbit are home to several billion people, making the majority of the Cluster's population under the [[society/kingdom_of_albion|Kingdom of Albion]]. The predominant species is [[guide/species#humanborn|human]], but other humanoid alien species are known to intermingle and move freely through the planet. | Albion is a terrestrial planet located in the [[territories:aleph_null|Aleph Cluster]].

| Albion is also home to the orbital object 'Null', a multi-levelled, railgun-like space elevator used for facilitating trade and travel within the Aleph Cluster and beyond. Albion's economy is highly reliant on trade, as its natural resources are on a razor's edge. | Albion is also home to the orbital object 'Null', a multi-levelled, railgun-like space elevator used for facilitating trade and travel within the Aleph Cluster and beyond.

| Nalbin's political philosophy embodies reverence for the family unit, with traditional views. However, this is often perceived as stubbornness in the face of an ever-changing world, and there are some rumblings of a counter-culture rebellion to embrace new ideas through the continent. | Nalbin's political philosophy embodies reverence for the family unit, with traditional views.

| ===== Orbital Object 'Null' ===== | ===== Orbital Object 'Null' ===== |
| Constructed atop the remains of a [[guide/transportation/sheoul|sheoul]] blast-deposit excavated from [[territories/aleph_cluster#thunderhead|Thunderhead]], the orbital object ‘Null’ is a hybrid electromagnetic railgun/space compression mass-driver. Colloquially known as ‘The Shooter’ by residents, its purpose is to provide extended travel throughout Aleph. | Constructed atop the remains of a [[guide/transportation/sheoul|sheoul]] blast-deposit excavated from [[territories:aleph_null#thunderhead|Thunderhead]], the orbital object ‘Null’ is a hybrid electromagnetic railgun/space compression mass-driver.

| To the eye, Null appears to resemble a black ball of sharp iron filing structures branching from its differing elements, as a result of its molecularly procedural surface which is similar to that of a living cell. Glittering over its surface is a polygonal sphere of outlines - the rayshield used to protect Null from the harsh radiation belts around Albion, channelling them into usable electricity. | Null serves as a [[transportation/space_gate|space-gate]]: a colony, dry-dock, manufacturing and exchange location though the nature of its high sheoul deposits make it unsafe for extended stay, meaning the majority of Null is automated and those who stay usually either only do so briefly or become attuned to living there under the neurally disruptive conditions. As such those who live there are often eccentric. |

| //For political reasons, the orbital object Null is also classified as a defence outpost for Aleph as a relic of the old war and the establishment of Albion — and so all of Aleph’s independence. Originally named the Orbital Fortress Null, it was able to accelerate a wide variety of payloads to enormous speed and precision, cross-calculating the gravitational patterning of the system itself with enormous precision — able to even strike objects in the upper atmospheres and surfaces of other worlds within a matter of hours or days, making extended ground occupation close to impossible while ensuring the payload is sufficiently decelerated to not cause massive collateral damage. It is still capable of these functions though now is primarily used for civilian purposes and serves as a living icon of Albion's independence.// | |
