Humanity left Earth seven thousand years ago to colonize other worlds. Now, people live across the Sacred Solar System, from mobile titancities on Mercury, to a terraformed Ganymede, to the Fisheye space station orbiting Neptune. The planets, moons, and Sun are worshiped as divine Celestials, and the incredible technology of the Miracles enable standardized gravity, Gates linking worlds, and much more. But while the Miracles appear stable, the knowledge of exactly how they function was lost a millennium ago.
