The Places of the Astral Archipelago
1. The Astral Archipelago (The World)
| Characteristic | Description | Stake |
| Nature | A vast collection of floating island-worlds made of rock and vegetation, held in suspension by the energy of the aether. | These islands are havens for pirates and free communities, but their resources are limited and their existence is fragile. |
| Location | Located in extragalactic space (a cosmic pocket), isolated from the rest of the known universe. | The isolation protects the Archipelago from the Solus Corporation on a large scale, but makes outside help impossible. |
| Connections | The islands are connected by unstable portals and chaotic star currents , requiring expert navigators (like Jax) to navigate them. | Portals are the key to freedom, but their instability is a constant danger to ships like the Aetherwind . |
2. The Great Static Field (The Atmosphere)
| Characteristic | Description | Stake |
| Nature | A gigantic active nebula made of pure energy and vivid colors, enveloping the Archipelago. | This field acts as a natural shield , masking the Archipelago from Solus tracking satellites. |
| Function | It generates the stellar currents used for navigation and is the primary source of aether (the world's life energy). | The crossing is extremely difficult and dangerous (as seen in Episode 2), filled with turbulence and cosmic phenomena. |
3. The Wreck of the Oath
| Characteristic | Description | Stake |
| Nature | The carcass of a colossal ship of the Old Civilization , partially frozen by cosmic ice. | The wreck is a trap from Solus (where they were waiting for us), but it is also a treasure trove of ancient technology. |
| Content | It contained Circuit Glyphs (ancient puzzles) and the first fragment of the Matrix Map: the Navigation Seal . | This location confirms the existence of the Remnants and shows that the Ancient Civilization used logic based on energy and sequence (which helped Circuits and Anya). |
