okay, i know these fun facts come off as lazy but you have a refuge. i plan on making these fun fact things as YouTube videos once i have figs prepared for the series. however, i will need to stick to writing for now, just please respect this fact and understand that i am conveying important information so i don’t have people constantly questioning me.

anyway, Fun Fact number bread:

so there’s this planet in the middle, upper regions of the Milky Way Galaxy known as Neuronex. the planet is a sickly dark green and grey thanks to the horrendous pollution it has endured thanks to it’s countless factories, most of which are still operational and provide things to the AOW to this day. however, few know that it wasn’t always like this and the way i t came to be as it is now is a tale of deceit, cover-ups and betrayal.

once upon a time around 2010, the Tryquilleean species whom had newly joined the LAVR as it’s third and final species- decided to try and get itself it’s own independent factory world (note that factory world is a broad term and can also be used to describe mining worlds). The Tryquilleeans in this long search stumbled upon Neuronex, a name given to it not by the locals but by the Tryquilleeans. the planet was rich with natural resources like metals, gasses, flora and fauna, it was perfect. there was one problem though, there were sentient creatures already living there. the ‘Neurox’ as they would be called and would eventually accept as their name were these sentient creatures, with technology only about as advanced as 1870 America though with architecture completely different to ours.
now, the Tryquilleeans couldn’t just slap a bunch of factories down without permission as that would not only spark confrontations with the inhabitants but also some political problems with the LAVR. the Tryquilleeans decided to play it smart and struck a deal with the Neurox, offering large sums of currency and technology in return for them installing their factories and the Neurox helping in the effort. the their delight, the Neurox happily agreed and for a while became almost like friends to the Tryquilleeans. while the LAVR were now gaining mass amounts of new resources as well as a new world on the mostly undiscovered upper border, they weren’t very happy with how the Tryquilleeans were effectively turning an entire species into their servants, though all efforts to stop the project were hastily halted.

eventually, things took a turn for the worse. as it turned out, Neuronex was a pretty frail planet and could not cope with the sudden increase in pollutants and began to have a hue of green, the grass was blackening, the plants dying, the clouds, thick and smoggy. at first it was only visible from space but now it was becoming very visible from the ground. it was at this point things got shady. while the Neurox pleaded for the Tryquilleeans to look into the problem to see if the factories were the cause, they would always reply with things like “it’s probably just geothermal activity” or “methane oxide meteors impacting in the sea” which were all lies. the only ones who knew these were lies were the Tryquilleeans and the rest of the LASR.
however, once the planets waters had grown toxic green, hot to touch and with a consistency like honey; as the inhabitants lungs were so f**ked up they couldn’t breathe anywhere without apparatus and as the wildlife were evolving into hyper-violent horrors, the CCRA (Charcadon Committee of Racial Abuse) stepped in and exposed the truth to the Neurox, the truth about the lies. shortly after, the LAVR were confronted by a Neurox ambassador who explained the Neurox were cutting the deal and would disable ALL factories and would instead send their new resources to a more ‘trustworthy’ organisation, regretfully, the AOW.

this was a massive blow to the LAVR, the Tryquilleeans and the Neurox themselves. this turn of events brought massive rivalry between the Tryquilleeans and Neurox, it was one of the reasons Queen Etheria was elected as leader of the AOW and now an excuse for the AOW to consider the LAVR an enemy.

today, only 20% of the original Neurox population remain on their world, still trying to undo their mistakes with no improvements. the clouds are so acidic that putting your hand in them for about a minute would reduce it to but a bloodied puddle, the creatures are some of the most horrific in the universe and the factories still pump black clouds into the sky for miles.

of all the Planets in Celestial Dawn, Neuronex is one of those planets that make you want to just stand on a hill and take in the chaos around you, to try to comprehend the horror that became of this land and how lucky we are sometimes.
