*Modified directly from original Multiverse Database dispatch. There is no time travel involved, each universe is simply in a different temporal frame of reference due to them either having slightly different rates of time or forming before/after each other
**UD Terminus is presumed to be sometime in the far future.
***UD Despondos exists outside of the concept of time. It is presumed that this is not the only such case.
****FCE means Following Common Era, and is a designation seemingly unique to Aithryl, representing a third era, after the decimation of civilization.

8-15-13-5, alternatively “Home”, is the Universe in which The Aivintian State and TACEZ reside. Known to the Confederates as U2, “Home” is the target of the Imperial Confluence’s multiple invasions. In this universe, humans are the only known sapient life forms.

3-15-14-6-5-4, designated “Confed”, is the origin universe of the Confederacy, known to the Confederates as U0. “Confed” is the center of Multiverse Cluster C, and considered by some scientists to be the center of the theoretical Multiverse Cluster H - a cluster of universes containing the species Homo sapiens sapiens. It is presumed that this level of connection is what drew the two universes so close together.

18-1-6-20 is an alternate universe where the gravitational force is far stronger than our own, a billion times as strong. Known as U1 to the Confederates, it was the first universe connected to Universe Designation Confed. The Confederates used the increased force of gravity in their favor allowed for new styles of ships, stations, and habitats to fan out from the site of the initial connection. As a result of the higher gravitational constant, astronomical objects and processes are scaled down by nearly a billion times.

7-5-9-7-5-18, known to the Confederates as U1349, is an alternate universe in which the laws of physics are different enough to allow for a mode of FTL travel similar to the theoretical Alcubierre Drive from the Late Planetary Expansion Period in U0, which involves warping spacetime to move a puddle of undisturbed space through at an FTL velocity. The radiation from these FTL drives led to the destruction of all observable civilization by the current year.

Terminus, known to the Confederates as U-3647, is an alternate universe deep within the throes of heat death, with a very thin population of life feeding off of the meager supplies of energy left.

1-9-20-8-18-25-12 is an alternate universe containing multiple advanced sapient races, none of which being human. Aithryl was ground zero for the Imperial Confluence’s theft of ships capable of moving faster than light, with the universe’s laws of physics allowing for mass production of rare materials and the eased production of such FTL drives. Sometime following the Imperial Confluence’s heist, a race of religious zealots wiped out most life in the universe, leaving behind only remnants, including the Forlorn Hope.

Universe Designation Despondos is a pocket dimension - a universe between universes - that lies undetected by the rest of the Multiverse. UD Despondos served as a haven for practitioners of the Alchemy, open only to noble wandering souls in search of spirituality, truth, and humility. Some time before the formation of TACEZ, UD Despondos was infiltrated by the Imperial Confluence, which corrupted its people and stole their Alchemy. The only survivor was Doctor Maynard, who then died shortly after escaping to UD Home.

UD Green Sahara is a universe where the Sahara Desert was never a desert, lush with life and civilization. Due to the early year, with society only just developing, Green Sahara is open only for scientific and societal/sociological observation.

UD Flare is a universe in the year 2000 where human life and civilization was wiped out by a coronal mass ejection. The remains of Earth are open for archaeological and scientific purposes.

UD Panhuman is a universe in the year 2353, where Neanderthals, the Rhodesian Man, and the Denisovan Man evolved alongside the standard human species, instead of going extinct. After centuries of racial, political, and religious conflict, word peace was achieved with a number of intervention wars and the establishment of the World Union, an international organization binding all Earth nations under common international laws, policies, cooperation, and more. The Aivintian State has enacted a no-contact policy as of yet.

UD Beginning is a universe in the year 10 Billion BCE, during the formation of the Milky Way galaxy. Numerous astronomical differences with UD Home have been discovered, including in the Milky Way itself, but the universe has been a gold mine of scientific thought and data.

UD Combined Efforts is a universe vastly different from UD Home, geographically, scientifically, and technologically. Following the alternate Great War, a superalliance world government called The Combined Efforts was formed. The most odd difference is in the technology, which is in some cases akin to early 1900s era technology on UD Confed, and in others akin to mid 1900s era technology in the same universe. However, in rare instances, UD CE technology is even more advanced. The Aivintian State has enacted a no-contact policy as of yet.

UD Unus is an alternate universe set in the year 1490, with many geographical and anatomical differences with UD Home. In this universe, there seems to be some connection to a force or biological process that can only be described as magic, which has augmented and fueled widespread political and military strife throughout the universe’s version of Earth, called Unus. The Aivintian State has enacted a no-contact policy as of yet.

Aikentra is a theoretical alternate universe generally considered to be in the center of the theoretical Multiverse Group A - a cluster of universes containing alternate versions of Aivintis. Aikentra is the purist timeline, with the purest version of Aivintis, a nation which comes to dominate its continent, world, star system, and eventually universe.

Shadow is a theoretical universe within Multiverse Group A, in which time flows as in Aikentra, albeit much darker, much more twisted. During simulations run by the Institute on the Prometheus Supercomputer, the universe ended on 11 November 2002.

UD Nuke is a universe in the year 2109 CE where the military doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction never hindered or ended the development of nuclear warfare, and nuclear weapon production increased exponentially. The nations of Earth fight war after war with nuclear weaponry, never engaging in total warfare. Radiation sickness is widespread, and numerous plant and animal species died off before nuclear warfare moved to planetary and lunar colonies.

UD Occupation is a universe where a totalitarian alien hegemony from the system of Alpha Centauri invaded and occupied the planet of Earth, splitting it into two spheres of influence with puppet states and military governments. Humans live in subpar conditions, under the thumb of a superpower lightyears away.

UD Parasite is a universe where an alien parasitic virus has wiped out all life, and has spread to every surface. The virus must be contained at all costs.

UD Nomad is a universe where a Coronal Mass Ejection nearly wiped out the human race, leaving Earth in ruins, uninhabitable. Using natural wormholes found around the universe, the human race has become nomadic, traveling in large ships. The lack of habitable planets, and the presence of aggressive spaceborne megafauna has kept them moving, and kept the universe dangerous to interdimensional travelers.
