The Chronicle of Planet X part I – The Tritos System

Written By: Ordono Mundi on January 29, 2010 One Comment

Imagine A long way ago, before we werent here. imagine A solar system much like ours with 3 planets orbiting its sun. except here each planet orbits their star – Tritos, at the same distance , like electrons going round an atom, the planets equally spaced apart sail thro the same space at different times …

Each planet is home to a bounty of life and a human like civilization. For millions of years evolution played out its symphony on these planets. On Exor pre industrial tribes of natives , raised great works in stone across the planet, harnessing its magnetic resonance to connect their tribes across the globe , assisting navigators sailing the great oceans, binding the Rogan people together in song and dance at each astronomical event of their calendar.
To Yuwa – where science is taking hold and early industry foul and smoking lifts some of the Tula people from toil , while yoking others to its wheels, where knowledge of the stars and laws of physics has replaced ancient ways and lost arts.
and Zynaz – where science and religious zealotry are combined ,its people assured by their rulers that they live on Gods chosen planet ,here they pursue knowledge for power, the most advanced of the civilizations, the Zool industrialized long ago here , science serves an elite priesthood whos grip on its inhabitants the Zewl , like their desire to survive is total…

Uninterrupted these planets would continue for millenia, their destiny unfolding with slow turns of histories pages, where it not for chaos , gravity and a large comet drawn inexorably to their sun. The comet s passing is observed by sky watchers on each planet as it burns through the day and night. its tail growing ever larger , then shrinking until finally the sun swallows it silently completely..

On Exor at the comets appearance Rogan Elders pronounced it a sign of good fortune, Their religious beliefs held that universe is a great sea through which sail all manner of life on an endless voyage , the comet it was said was a ship of fire returning to its stellar home after an epic voyage thro the cosmos. Celebrations were held in its honour , songs sung, poems written and great carvings hewn into sacred mountains to mark its final journey., once gone the Rogan people returned to their lives and gave it little thought., only the Elders pursued its real meaning . retreating into tunnels each night to stare at the stars passing across their view , tracing the orbits of Zynaz and Yewa as they crossed constellations in the night sky and marking the rising and setting of the sun. With each night the stars revealed the unforgiving tale of the comet..things had changed how much could not yet be seen..

On Yuwa scientists welcomed the appearance of the comet , flinging themselves with enthusiasm into calculations and observations , using newly discovered principals of mathematics , training their latest telescopes upon it, great names of science staked their reputations on competing calculations, some saying one thing some another. Religious leaders keen to reclaim influence since science had stripped them of credibility, proclaimed it the end of the world, a judgment on evil new ways, an apocalypse from which only the true believer would be saved, by returning to the worship of God and renouncing the works of knowledge and science. Many Toola still believed in the old Gods and listened fearfully to the priests. Politicians urged calm and pronounced that what ever the outcome reason and knowledge would save them if not the hand of god…

On Zynaz the priesthood twisted ancient prophecies to meet their own ends proclaiming the comet a herald of their ultimate victory in the quest to conquer Exor and Yuwa . The Zewl rulers having consumed much of their own planets resources in technological progress, had long promised the suffering of its people would be rewarded. Zynaz , heavily overpopulated and straining at the end of centuries of massive industrialisation, eyed its neighbors unspoiled oceans and continents with envy .God they said made all the planets for them , and one day with his help great ships would sail from Zynaz to the promised lands, There Gods chosen people would rule forever creating heaven on earth as the prophecies had siad…yet quietly in their greatest observatories and inner sanctums the priests gathered to process their observations on huge mechanical computers…
The consequences of the Comets passing were realised by differing means on each planet.

High on a mountian At the mouth of a tunnel on Exor in the early light of dawn, Rogan Elders gathered round a small fire” knowledge is not wisdom “ said one “ wisdom is not truth “ said another “truth is not beauty” returned one more” beauty is not music” joined the last , before finally they chorused “music is the best “ ..at that they left and headed down the mountain towards the distant sound of drums..

Elswhere in a large state room in the capital of Yuwa, President Tulat sat at the head of a long table, around him were assembled the planets greatest minds, astronomers , physicists , mathematicians..”Theres no mistake “ said one “we all agree” said another “ the figures are incontrovertible” added one more voice ” staring into space the president muttered almost to himself “god have mercy on us all” before feinting and collapsing on the floor..

Sivnil – The high priest of Zynaz raised himself from the throne in the great temple of Zewl – order , order , he screamed – the furor resounding in the vast hall of the temple subsided, the other priests taking their seats and pursing their lips went quiet. “we are not done yet brothers” the words sliced through gritted teeth. “there is time yet for us to save ourselves” he continued “time still for a solution” I wont die on this mud-ball while we are masters of this world , ruling over a billions souls with our knowledge we must and will find a way, now get to work…

And That is how the people of the Tritos system discovered their delicate orbital balance had shifted , Zynaz had been accelerated by the passing of the comet and would inevitably collide with Yuwa , billions of years of harmony would end with the collision of Yuwa and Zynaz , the debris field destroying Exor in its wake ..all life in the Tritos system would end as its planets smash together leaving only dust to mark their passing… the outcome unquestionably the same for all..Oblivion, death, the end of life.
