AT THE EDGE OF A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY a small planet has been discovered, rife with life both intelligent and not. An independent corporation spreading across the known universe, the Department of Protected Inhabited Planets has laid claim to the planet, dubbing it a protected zone under its control. They have set up small colonies run by scientists, researchers, and the like from all corners of the universe. You have been invited to put in your name for a colony, where you can protect special creatures seen nowhere else in the galaxy. You may do what you wish with your colonists - they are under your command.

A cold day to be hunting hojenst [pt2/2]

Not heeding his son, Far'lan whistled softly and Novato burst out at the herd, spooking them just as Far'lan had said would happen. With a horrendous cry out in alarm, the small herd bellowed as they stampeded away from the surprise. Some kicked and flailed before finding their footing to join the others, kicking up a combination of mud and ice as they ran. Artaygo braced himself, feeling an odd kind of fear take over him as he watched the stampede rapidly get closer. Far'lan, like a swift shadow, darted out from their hiding space and grabbed at the legs of a passing Hojenst and managing to cause it to stumble its footing as it ran. Quick as a darting raptor Far'lan managed to hook his other arm around the back of the Hojenst and loop a thick rope around its neck which caused it to kick and flail - Far'lan did not let go. Novato appeared in view just as swiftly, as he had burst out to surprise the Hojenst, this time circling around the far side of the landing here to direct them

A cold day to be hunting Hojenst [pt 1/2]

A new day dawned over Or’Sol with the cold fresh sea air rushing over the steep cliffs and gentle sloping hills before gracing the clan with the fresh morning scent. Novato, however, was already stressed before the dawn was even a whisper on the wind. Dragging himself out of the comforting warmth of his home and into the biting winter winds, Novato donned his warmest cloak, which still somehow let in just enough cold to make him miserable. Far’lan was already waiting at the ranch by the time Novato trudged there; Impatience written all over his face. “What took you so long?” Far’lan gruffed. “What do you mean? It’s dawn just now!” Novato was incredulous. Where was Artaygo when you needed him…. As if summoned by the very thought of him, a rather excitable looking Artaygo appeared; his happy mood seemed to foul those of both the gruff dark Far’lan, and the usually chipper Novato. “Hey! Over here!” Artaygo called, extending an arm through the part in his cloak to wave over his father

January 2024 Update

Jan 11, 2024

Happy new year, Xunari and Colonies! We have a new News post over on our website: https://xiun.us/news/33.happy-new-year with some big updates, including the release of some revamped free backgrounds for use on imports: PHILTERS As many of you have noticed, we are in the process of releasing philters, special items that can be used to add single alleles for individual markings onto colonists, genos, and whelps. These are released via the Genetic Research prompt. Adding these philters to whelps via the automated breeding roller is coming soon, but you are welcome to "apply them" and add it in your post-weaning comments for us to manually remove the item from your inventory and process the new allele. These will be available to craft, with blueprints incoming in chunks as they are released. They will be all considered alchemy in crafting. ANIMAL UPDATES New pet + fauna, released last month: Bokbok! Coming over from Tark'ee, the Bokbok is a very finely rounded creature, sporting eggs

You absolutely can

Xiunus is currently on their own site - there are profile settings for colonists you can change to update their personalities or backstories or whatever else you want!
