Halteres takes place in the future. How far? Let me say this; far enough to allow the occurrence of several (at least three) epochs of punctuated equilibrium across the entire universe. But how far is that? I can't tell you, but I will give you a hint...
Halteres orbits its star, Hestia, in perfect alignment with the solar system plane. Due to Halteres' unique structure, its axis remains upright and fully perpendicular to the plane. Halteres' closest celestial partner, Clach Nearth, orbits slightly farther away from Hestia and slightly askew of its plane. Every 30 years, the two planets reach Syzygy. Nyk and Brims were conceived during the last Syzygy, and the next one approaches. This one will be different. Both Halteres and Clach Nearth are scheduled to align on Hestia's plane during the next Syzygy. This...will be big.
Halteres takes place in our universe; in the farthest reaches of the Glyptis Cluster of Galaxies, one rich in nebulae and bordering vast regions of open space. Near its edge, is the Sympan Galaxy, and at its core, a Class K Red Dwarf called Hestia. Within Hestia's habitable zone lies Halteres and Clach Nearth.
All of the main players in Halteres are extraterrestrials. No humans exist in this adventure. However, if we look at the 'main' characters, I'll say fourteen, all are sentient, eleven are hominoid, one arthropoid, one artificially intelligent, and one is the Kynoi.
There is more than one way to reach Halteres; one is by reading this blog and eventually the novel, the other has yet to be revealed.
