A World a Week: Zwaza Station

 Stumbled across some notes from 2014 which started a ripple that has stuck around in my works since then. Parts of this locale just very well may appear in some published material. I mostly have mentioned the setting during a few Wobble campaigns and another universe slipping thing that keep on the back burner called "Ork Quest" as of right now.

 


It is in the NU Verse, where the Canadian Space Guard are making themselves known on the Earth that is called the Nu World. Farther out in this solar system is the planet Nimbiru settled by Sumerians from our Verse, the MU one BTW, some three thousand years ago. As I am sure you recall these Sumerian Wobblers are a prominent faction in the closer Verses to MU.
Orbiting around the half-way point for about four to nine months every year between Earth and Nimbiru is the TNO (trans-Neptunian Object) known as Pomme. This a planetoid that is not quite a small moon because it is a little lumpy and not round. Most of its interior though is a highly developed space colony, the Zwaza Station. Controlled by the Sumerians and the native Nimbiru, the Hand-Heads, this colony is home to various spacefaring species of the Nu Verse and even a larger number of Wobblers.
Zwaza Station with its Zef Guard is the largest deterrence against Grey raiding ships that plague the asteroids of the outer belts of the system.

Two other smaller asteroids orbit around Pomme forming its moon-like satellites. One is Apfel the other is Potato. Potato is a trans-versial world, as in that wobbles. For about three years out of Pomme's eleven year and five week orbit around the sun, this asteroid is inhabited by the species known as "The Potato-People" and what can only be described as spells and magic are their technology basis. The rest of the time the moons are cold and lifeless, except for maybe Grey bases.

Zef Guard Warship: the Yonder Don
Captained by the Hand-Head, Nock Mor-Ehd, the ship is mostly manned by Pyramid-head mercenaries hired by the Zef Guard to fill its rather diminutive ranks. It is about the size of a large cargo vessel but it is the flagship of the self-defense forces of the planetoid.
