Triplanetary

An ancient cosmic drama unfolds as two massive galaxies drift together, their stars and newborn planets intermingling over millions of years. In this vast arena, each galaxy hosts a single intelligent civilization: the Arisians, a humanoid race evolving on an Earth‑like world, and the Eddorians, beings from a hostile, syrup‑filled planet. Their separate histories have run parallel for eons, unaware of the other's existence.

The Arisians have risen through familiar stages of development—stone, bronze, iron, steel, and finally the age of electricity—shaping a civilization that spreads its spores across the newly shared heavens. By contrast, the Eddorians originate from a world of corrosive fog and alien chemistry, their very nature a mystery to any normal spacetime. Both societies possess extraordinary mental powers, hinting at a future clash of wills.

The narrative picks up as the galaxies begin to coalesce, forcing the two races to confront the reality of each other’s presence. Early encounters reveal stark differences and a growing tension that promises to shape the destiny of countless worlds.
