calypsihelian

Somebody who is, in terms of the Galactian Alignment System, both calypsian and helian - i.e. both androgynous-aligned and man-aligned. This could mean "androgynous man", but it can be any gender that one sees as having those alignments.

Ogenusian & Tethysian coining post! ☀️🌙🌕

Ogenusian is a gender within the galactian alignment system that describes those who are both calypsian (androgyne-aligned/androgynous-aligned) and solarian (male-aligned/masc-aligned).

Ogenusian individuals can be androgyne (gender identity) without necessarily being androgynous (gender presentation), and vice versa. The same goes for the male/masc-alignment of the individual; being male-aligned without necessarily being masculine in nature (and vice versa).

Ogenusian includes any individual that experiences male/masc-aligned gender identity or presentation, as well as androgyne/androgynous gender identity or presentation. The intensity of these gendered feelings does not matter. Ogenusian individuals may be fluid or fluctuate between the two gendered feelings, experience both simultaneously, or a combination of these characteristics.

Similar terms include mascandrogyne, androx, andryne, and androge.

The female-aligned/feminine-aligned equivalent is tethysian.

The term calypsian was named after the Calypso moon, which was named after a Greco-Roman Titan named Calypso. Following this method, ogenusian was named after Calypso’s father, Oceanus, due to his gender identity as male. While Oceanus is not commonly known as Ogen or Ogenus, I deem fit to use the alternative spelling of the Greek Titan’s name by the coiner for aesthetic purposes, and to also separate the term from any ocean-related xenogenders.

The first stripe of the flag, colored blue-violet, symbolizes the androgyne part of the term, the connection with the term calypsian, as well as the association with Oceanus. The second stripe, colored an orange-red, symbolizes the connection with the term solarian and therefore maleness and/or masculinity. The yellow stripe represents the non-binary nature of the gender, black represents those with no gender, and gray represents the varying levels in which individuals can experience gender. The circle on the second flag is the symbol for a moon, as the term calypsian is based on the Calypso moon.

Tethysian is a gender within the galactian alignment system that describes those who are both calypsian (androgyne-aligned/androgynous-aligned) and lunarian (female-aligned/feminine-aligned).

Tethysian individuals can be androgyne (gender identity) without necessarily being androgynous (gender presentation), and vice versa. The same goes for the female/fem-alignment of the individual; being female-aligned without necessarily being feminine in nature (and vice versa).

Tethysian includes any individual that experiences female/fem-aligned gender identity or presentation, as well as androgyne/androgynous gender identity or presentation. The intensity of these gendered feelings does not matter. Tethysian individuals may be fluid or fluctuate between the two gendered feelings, experience both simultaneously, or a combination of these characteristics.

Similar terms include femandrogyne, gynx, angyne, and ogyne.

The male-aligned/masc-aligned equivalent is ogenusian.

The term calypsian was named after the Calypso moon, which was named after a Greco-Roman Titan named Calypso. Following this method, tethysian was named after Calypso’s mother, Oceanus, due to her gender identity as female.

The first stripe of the flag, colored teal, symbolizes the connection with the term lunarian and therefore femaleness and/or femininity. The second stripe, colored a blue-violet, symbolizes the connection with androgyny. The yellow stripe represents the non-binary nature of the gender, black represents those with no gender, and gray represents the varying levels in which individuals can experience gender. The circle on the second flag is the symbol for a moon, as the term calypsian is based on the Calypso moon.

That was a mouthful, sorry folks

[imoga-pride]

hi i was just curious. in terms of cross-aligned lesboys (like lunarian men) could a calypsian (androgynous aligned) guy be a lesboy?

that makes sense. the term lunarian also encompasses feminine-aligned people. and there are many lesbian androgynes, so why not lesbians with androgynous alignment? though many experiences would fit in androgynous-aligned. now it depends on you for deciding if it's right for your lesbianism. but this is my answer for the alignment part.

however, I'd say that they would only be a lesboy if they consent being one, of course (self-determination). I'd like to say that I'm not here to judge what qualifies as lesboy because I see some people also include binary men in the definition. although that wouldn't make sense to me, I can respect that.

anyways, try looking adjacent terms, such as lesboyconnec. I also saw someone talking about orientation alignments (i.e. lesboy-aligned).

Alone Together

Every now and then, someone will ask, "why is it still called first contact?" They think they are clever, apparently, by pointing out that we already know intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe, and so it should simply be called 'contact.'

But it is clear that they do not understand the weight these words carry.

Far back in 2145, humankind made first contact on a small, airless, inner moon of Uranus. Except... no one was there to greet us. All we found were the remains. Within a week, our understanding of life in the universe had gone from hopeful optimism to somber concern: had we really been so close to contact, only for our elder and only counterparts to vanish? Research on the ruins revealed that the ancient starfarers had wiped themselves out in a catastrophic civil conflict, and we feared what that meant for us. We resolved, then, that we would do better, not only for ourselves but for the ones who had come before us and lost their way. We had given up one kind of loneliness -that of simple ignorance- for another, far worse kind of loneliness: that of the sole survivor.

Our loneliness was not to last, fortunately. In 2191, the crew of the Arete mission to Proxima Centauri encountered a species of lifeform on the frigid moon Calypso which exhibited unusual intelligence, and in time discovered the great settlements they inhabited. After two years of study, the Arete explorers established rudimentary two-way communication with the Calypsians and grew a conversational relationship with the people of one nearby settlement. Humankind was overjoyed: here, at last, were the interstellar neighbors we had longed for.

But eventually the Arete mission had to return to Earth, and the Calypsians would not achieve interstellar radio transmission for a hundred more years. Even once they were able to commune with us across the great void, we found that our species were too different to have much in common aside from scientific interest. Thus, we were faced once more with a new and uniquely tragic kind of loneliness -almost that of estranged cousins.

In 2220, our prayers seemed to be answered at last by a stray radio signal from Tau Ceti. Though it took time, we were able to decipher its meaning and sent a return message, followed by a probe. The initial course of contact was slow, as is always the case with remote contact from across the emptiness. Over patient years of interaction, we learned how to communicate with the skae, and eventually sent a crewed mission to their homeworld of Ra'na: Andromeda One, the first of many.

We discovered the skae were a younger civilization than us, by several centuries, and so took responsibility for teaching them to be more like us. We taught them the secrets of nature and technology that they had not yet uncovered- of black holes and quarks, of the microchip and the fusion reactor. They accepted our gifts with wonder and gratitude, and in turn taught us their ways of terraformation- new methods to accelerate the healing of our own world and transform others from dead waste to bountiful gardens. Together we founded a coalition, to unite all civilizations seeking starflight under the common purposes of curiosity and betterment. But although this was everything humanity had ever wanted, we still felt the pangs of loneliness: the burden of the elder and mentor.

It was our good fortune, then, that elder civilizations were watching us. Just a decade after founding the USSC, Earth received a radio message from the star Epsilon Indi. It was a direct greeting, excited and hopeful. "We are shyxaure of Delvasi and ziirpu of Virvv. We saw you," they said, "and you have done well. We have ached to reach out for centuries, but worried over what would follow if we did. The alliance you have forged with the people of Tau Ceti is assurance that we are, truly, alike in thought. We are proud to call you neighbors, and hope to soon call you friends."

While we waited for their embassy ship to arrive as promised, humanity reveled in passing a test we had not known was ongoing. We had proven ourselves worthy of contact, worthy of inclusion into the interstellar community... and yet, a new loneliness seeped through the cracks of our joy. We had anguished in isolation for so long, all the while our cosmic seniors watched from not so far away. For hundreds of years, we had not realized there were new friends just beyond the horizon. And so, in secret, we mourned this loneliness: that of what could have been.

In the centuries that have followed we have discovered even more sapient beings around us: the rimor of the Eridani Network, the Xib Zjhar of Xiilu Qam, the pluunima of Niima. We are connected to each other in many ways, but the most important of these is simply that we share the gift of sapience. In this vast and quiet universe, any fellow intelligence is infinitely precious because we are the only ones, as far as we know. Every contact event is first contact, all over again, ​because every new civilization that we encounter will expand our horizons just enough for us to wonder: "was that last contact? Is there still someone else out there, or is that the end of roll call? Are we alone together, now?"

This, the grandest and most poignant of all mysteries, is why the motto of the Coalition is "solum habemus invicem et stellas" – "we only have each other and the stars."

Annual Fic

Per my usual habit of posting fic for my birthday, I wrote a short something based on a post I saw on Tumblr. Small art is still art.

Then I wrote something OFMD too. It is after all a sacred day in the Calypsian calendar.

[talking-bigender]

I’ve been so sure for so long that I’m bigender (guy + maverique), but now I’m starting to doubt. it felt right for years starting when I realized that was a Thing I Could Be, but lately I’ve been wondering if my male gender is… well, fully male. as male as my dad or my cis guy friends. I thought that maybe my gender was actually maverique and butch, but considering it makes me dysphoric - my immediate reaction is no, I’m a guy, I’m a man. and yet, I can’t relate my gender to any of the men I’ve met irl. I guess it’s a combination of not knowing any other trans men irl and maybe some internalized transphobia. to me, my experience of manhood as a trans man is different from any cis man I know of - still a man, just a different kind of man. I think I might also feel a connection to androgyny, but not that I am an androgyne, so I’m considering calling myself calypsian as well. but basically, describing my gender to the best of my ability: I am maverique. I am a man. how in touch with each of my genders I feel varies, but I am always both. it’s like shifting my weight from one foot to the other (except that it’s involuntary). I also identify heavily with butchness and particularly the term pansybutch, but not as a gender.

phew! talking that out in your inbox really helped me figure some things out. hope you find this at least mildly interesting lol

I'm sos orry for the late response but, I'm really glad you were able to figure stuff out :] things can always shift or you can always realize u've felt something different than what you thought, etc- most important is to stay flexible with yourself and not stress about settling on one thing forever. Best of luck with your journey!!

calypsiselenian

Somebody who is, in terms of the Galactian Alignment System, both calypsian and selenian - i.e. both androgynous-aligned and woman-aligned. This could mean "androgynous woman", but it can be any gender that one sees as having those alignments.

[mxazimut]

The Galactic Alignment System is a gender system created for non-binary people to describe their gender without having to use binary terms such as "male" or "female aligned". Not all non-binary people use the galactic alignment system.

The terms are more gender indications, but one can choose to identify as them. They indicate gender alignment, which may not be related to actual gender or gender presentation.

galactic genera:

* Aurorien.ne: Fluid between alignments.

* Lunarian: Feminine Aligned

* Solarian: Male Aligned

* Calypsian: Androgynous Aligned

* Singularien.ne: Reject all links to any alignment

* Stellarian: neutral aligned or unaligned

* Spacer: Xenine Aligned

Combined alignments

* Annulian: Spacialian, Stellarian, and Solarian

* Eclipsian.ne: Lunarian.ne and Solarian.ne

* Galaxian.ne: Lunarian.ne, Solarian.ne and Stellarian.ne

* Meteorian: Spaceman, Solarian, and Lunarian

* Nebularian.ne: Lunarian.ne and Stellarian.ne

* Novarian.ne: Solarian.ne and Stellarian.ne

* Penumbrian: Spacialian, Stellarian, and Lunarian

* Phoenixian.ne: Spacialien.ne and Stellarian.ne

* Sirealian: Spacialian, Lunarian, Solarian, and Stellarian

* Universian: Spacialian, Lunarian, Solarian, Stellarian, and Singularian

* Comedian.ne: Spacialien.ne and Lunarien.ne

* Gunslinger: Spacialian and Solarian

* Gunslinger: Spacialian and Solarian

* Gunslinger: Spacialian.ne and Solarian.n

* Dawnien.ne: Partially Solarien.ne

* Duenixian.ne: Partially Penumbrian.ne

* Duskien.ne: Partially Lunarian.ne

* Equinoxian.ne: Partially Nebularian.ne

* Hafien.ne: Partly Phoenixian.ne

* Solstian.ne: Partially Novarian.ne

* Synodian: Partially Sidereal

* Twilightian.ne: Partially Eclipsian.ne

* Umbrian.ne: Partly Meteorian.ne

* Wanien.ne: Partly cometien.ne

Etymology

The theme of space used in the galactic system was chosen because space is genderless, but certain aspects of it are often personified to have gender for artistic, religious, or cultural reasons. Non-binary people have also historically been associated with space. This should not be confused with the celestial system or xenogenera, as the galactic alignment system uses the space theme only as a naming scheme.

Flag:

* The orange band represents the solarians.

* the brown represents the singulariens.nes

*dark purple represents Lunarians

* light purple represents the spacemen

*dark green represents stellarians

* light green represents aurorians.

* The white band represents people who have combinations of alignments.

*Yellow, black and gray stripes are in all uncombined Galactic flags. As in the other flags, yellow represents the non-binary nature of people who use the Galactic alignment system, black represents the absence of gender, and gray represents varying degrees of gender.

[outherworldlycoining]

Stellarian was never based on Neutrosis you clown. It's literally an umbrella term hence it's called stellarian, it was in the OG definition that "there are as many ways to be stellarian as there are stars" because it literally describes anything that isn't man-or-woman-aligned. It never meant only neutral, just general other/nonbinary/unalignment. It has strong abinary connotations but many galactian alignments like calypsian etc. also fall under the stellarian as stellarian means anything not male female masc fem aligned. It was coined as an umbrella term and you're literally erasing it based on your own insecurities which is pathetic. Not everything that happens to include neutrality is exclusive to neutrality, let alone neutrosis. Clownnnnn

I never said stellarian was based on neutrois, learn how to read. I said "putting neutrois as an example" because is the most known neutral gender.

Here the only clown is you.

Also, dumbass. the definition of maverique-aligned I used to coin the term is based on the definitions an usage of lunarian and solarian.

I don't give a shit about stellarian because I don't find it an useful term at all. Terms that put every nonbinary person disconnected from manhood and womanhood into a single category are counterproductive. The reason stellarian and terms like it exist is because the coiners just couldn't care less about actually taking into account the experiences of androgynous, aporine, agenrine, maverine, etc people.

And once again, people tend to equal nonbinary to neutral to the point where:

transneutral is used as an umbrella term for any trans person who isn't transfem or transmasc.

The definition of stellarian has highly changed to mean neutral-aligned.

Because definitions and the usage of terms change and evolve.

Androgyne Maverique Pride Flag

[ID.: six horizontal stripes colored with hot pink, purple, cyan, white, orange, and yellow. End ID.]

Androgyne: gender ambiguity (ambigue) in-between masculine and feminine (midgender); a mixture of male and female genders (genderpotion/shuffler); being both man and woman (ambigender/femache or femasle/manwoman); or an autonomous gender (AUIN) derived from or referencing both binary genders (nymangi/midbinary/ambinary).

Maverique: an abinary/aphorian gender identity (ABIN) that is defined by autonomy and view about one's internal sense of self which is not related to or derived from manhood (miaspec) or womanhood (fiaspec), but also is not neutral (NONIN) nor absence of gender (comgender/allogender).

Reasons someone can be maverique androgyne: polygender or multigender (fluid or simultaneous; plurigender or genderfluid); gendermix or polymerization; poxogender aporagender; partly maverique partly androgyne (demiandrogyne demimaverique); outherine/aporine lingender (lideospec/lideogender) or liagender (liaspec); androgyne-aligned (calypsian) maverique-adjacent; maverique-related eclipsian; centrigender.

FTL in Astra Planeta

All known interstellar civilizations in the Astra Planeta canon are capable of faster-than-light travel, in some cases (skae and Calypsians) thanks to the teachings of humanity, but mostly because of their own scientific merits. The only known form of macroscopic FTL travel is the warp drive, which has historically been achieved a few hundred years into each civilization's spacefaring age since the physical and engineering challenges that must be overcome to actually make a working prototype are extremely complex.

A warp drive works by bending spacetime in such a way as to simply amplify the vessel's real velocity; it doesn't actually generate any acceleration. An object's real velocity at warp drive activation determines its FTL velocity, but it takes time to accelerate to that real velocity at a safe acceleration (one standard Earth gravity). What results is a tradeoff between the time spent speeding up and slowing down, and the time spent in warp, which varies depending on distance and real velocity.

Finding the optimal interstellar vector utilizes a simple asymptotic formula (created by @catgirlbionics, thanks again!) involving three variables: the distance to the target in lightyears (d), the warp amplification factor (a), and the maximum real-space velocity of the object as a decimal value of the speed of light (v). This function equates to the total flight duration in days (T).

(707.646*v)+((d/(a*v))*365) = T

By plugging in specific values for (d) and (a), and then deriving the function, its positive local minimum will be equivalent to the shortest possible travel time and ideal velocity for the given interstellar vector. For example: a modern Generation VI warp drive has a maximum amplification factor (a) of about 4000, and the distance between Sol and Alpha Centauri (d) is about 4.34 lightyears. Using these values in the formula results in an optimal velocity (v) of about 0.0237c, and a minimum travel time (T) of 33 and a half days!

Warp drives have limited usefulness due to the enormous amount of power they require and the peculiar effects of bending spacetime. Acceleration must be accomplished in real-space or else the exhaust from the engine will reflect off the drive's event horizon and cook the ship, and the same goes for any heat radiated by the vessel. This is why warp drives typically operate in "stuttered" format: an interstellar flight is composed of multiple FTL segments interspersed with periods of real-space STL flight where the ship dumps the heat accumulated by the drive into space via radiator.

Warp drives are not the only method of circumventing the speed of light. Wormholes are also physically possible; however, the largest stable wormholes ever documented are of atomic scale, and anything with rest mass passing through the singularity will cause it to collapse. Wormholes, therefore, are only used to facilitate FTL communication in the form of ansibles, passing extremely narrow laser beams around a network of linked wormholes to achieve near-instantaneous communication.

Because of their nature as loopholes in relativity, both technologies incur some very bizarre effects when it comes to temporal reference frames. Ansible connections where one end is moving at relativistic speed create a combination of wavelength shift and frame dragging that render it impossible to communicate in lockstep; a warpship with a relativistic real-space velocity will result in some time-disparity between passengers and their destination upon arrival. However, it's generally agreed that these complications are a small inconvenience compared to an interstellar society without FTL, where time-slips of decades or more would be a haunting reality.
