Overview:

The Deep Oblivion is a fully modular, 181-deck Class-6 platform rated for extended galactic survey, civil observation, and hostile anomaly engagement. Onboard infrastructure includes 47 self-aware AI subsystems (19 cleared for public interaction), over 6,500 team members, 2,200 autonomous service units, bi-directional manufacturing bays, hydroponic sectors, and 14 separate waste reclamation philosophies.

The Orbital Commanding Officer is Captain Jake. Learn more about our team members.

Mission:

The Deep Oblivion initiative exists to catalog, collect, and cautiously explore the known galaxy and its statistically acceptable anomalies.

Commissioned by the Department of Peripheral Inquiry and partially funded by the Galactic Archival Coalition (pending audit), Deep Oblivion serves as both an exploratory platform and floating bureaucratic archive.

Core Specifications:

Deep Oblivion: Class-6 Orbital Habitat

Commissioning Authority: Department of Peripheral Inquiry / Galactic Archival Coalition

Mission Type: Extended-duration galactic survey, data retrieval, and “miscellaneous classified objectives”

Decks: 181* (including 9 sealed sectors under review)

*Note that currently, deck 12 has gone missing. We hope to have this issue resolved shortly.

Crew Complement: 6,500 (varies due to attrition, recruitment, and spontaneous reassignments)

AI Appliances: 2,247 registered, plus an estimated 50–70 unregistered systems “operating informally”

Autonomous Service Units: 6,300+ (cleaning, repair, morale enforcement)

Habitats & Biomes: 14 sealed environments (forest, desert, brine marsh, “unspecified mist”)

Life Support Capacity: 3.2 million station-days (uninterrupted, average usage)

Propulsion: Dual-core gravitic drive with emergency burn capability

Power Systems: Triple-reactor array (fission, fusion, and “contingency”)

Defensive Systems:

• Distributed weapons array, 360° coverage

• Kinetic and exotic-energy shielding

• Induction Laser Grid (Team still unclear as to what this actually does)

• Experimental deterrent “pending committee review”

Communications: High-gain phased-array relay, nominal 0.7-second Core Command link delay (variable due to cosmic bureaucracy)

Manufacturing Bays: 18 industrial-grade, 6 bi-directional nano-fabrication nodes

Waste Management: 14 active reclamation systems, each following conflicting doctrine. Note that Waste Burn Unit 2 has been ‘awakened’ and no longer incinerates refuse. Learn more here.

Onboard Storage: 1.4 million cubic meters, 11% contents unlabeled

Mission Duration: Nominal 45 years without resupply, though operational timelines are “subject to redefinition.”

Current Status: Active orbit over Planet Pludori, awaiting further orders, budget allocation, or spontaneous reason to leave.

Objectives:

• Document phenomena deemed “of interest” by various partner agencies.

• Collect artifacts for eventual storage, destruction, or ceremonial denial.

• Engage diplomatically with intelligent life where feasible, and with unintelligent life where necessary.

• Maintain station integrity within an acceptable margin of entropy.

• Provide regular updates to headquarters, pending signal receipt and mood of comms array.

• Transcend. Confuse. Obliterate.

For inquiries, complaints, or atmospheric irregularities, please consult your local deck officer or nearest emergency suggestion hatch.
