Dreams of Horizon
Documenting the lives and times of worlds far removed in both time and space, Dreams of Horizon is a speculative fiction series pushing the limits of what is physically possible in order to explore some of the most exotic and wondrous denizens of deep space. From exploding galaxies to chromatic ice worlds, we embark on an atlas of the fictional Mira Cluster in an exploratory vision of what may lurk out in the endless void.

The Horizon System: Praya, the Exotics Author
Striking out towards the final sun of the Horizon System, we chance across a world in its sibling’s image. Though this great leviathan is an impressive creature in and of itself, it serves only as an accessory in the wonderful oasis of life that is the Far Shore of Horizon.
The Horizon System: Physalia, the Miracle Author
Drifting over to the other face of the Horizon System, we find a surrealist vision scattered across five suns and forty-seven worlds. Many are small things not unlike Mars, tiny oases kept on life support by the invisible hands of gravitational giants.
The Horizon System: Olindias, at the Edge of Infinity
Rendezvous with a foreign world, hailing from the now-vanished arrays of Ceratium’s quarter. Finding safe haven from the rapacious hunger of Physalia, this Saturn-like world has accrued its own impressive array of satellites, including a miniature version of Antipathes-Cerianthus. Cloaked in seas of liquid nitrogen, these small worlds are a last stop before the infinity of interstellar space.
The Horizon System: Rhodactis, the Ruin Author
Embrace the gravitational infinity of a failed star. With eleven times the mass of Jupiter crushed into an electron-degenerate mass nearly as dense as gold, this frigid gas giant hosts an entire solar system in miniature. With fifty round moons and innumerable smaller ones, one could spend lifetimes unpacking the numerous enigmas of this ruinous behemoth.
The Horizon System: Antipathes-Cerianthus, the Azure Duality
Gaze upon a trio of clouded, frozen worlds. Two Neptunian holdovers from their past heyday dance through the cold void together, a Mars-sized aquarian ice world trailing the pair together. Draped in shades of grey and blue, they provide a demure end to the splendor of the Resonant Worlds.
The Horizon System: Chironex, the Deceptive Giant
Behold a venerable giant, stalwart in its survival for eons. This Neptunian world survived the supernova that brought an end to its kind’s rule over the Horizon System and ushered in the age of the Living Worlds. Largely unchanged for a billion years, it and its entourage of moons stand as a testament to what once was.
The Horizon System: Chrysaora, the Sun-Soaked Transience
Journey to a hellish, crimson Jupiter analogue, hailing from the frigid depths of the great beyond but having found its true calling searing beneath a hateful sun. With its intense gravity and immense bulk, it shares its torturous experience with the remainder of the Horizon System as an agent of Actinophrys’s raging flares.
