The Skyward Universe is a setting possessing highly advanced technology, from laser weapons and anti-gravity to lifelike holograms and atmospheric envelopes capable of keeping entire space stations breathing.{{book ref|sky2|3}}{{book ref|elysium}} Vast empires, encompassing numerous sapient species, spread across the stars, connected by faster-than-light ships. Ranging from grand merchant ships to small starfighters, those vessels are propelled by biological faster-than-light system. The FTL, as well as numerous other technologies, are based on two fundamental aspects of the universe: the [[nowhere]] and [[cytonics]].{{book ref|sky2|34}}

Such portals can be found on many worlds, and though the markings on them indicate that they were made rather than arising naturally, it's unknown who created them. The portals let both people and equipment to be taken through, which allows for mining acclitivity stone.{{book ref|sky2|25}}

When sufficiently agitated, they can transport themselves into the physical world. A single delver can be as large as a moon, and possesses a number of deadly powers, including the ability to create and launch meteors, and the capacity to destroy any living being they pass through. This makes them extremely dangerous, and has led to extreme limits being put on the use of cytonics.{{book ref|sky2|4}}{{book ref|sky2|10}}▼
