The '''Cytoverse'''{{wob ref|
== Underlying mechanics ==
It wasn't just the cosmere that Cytoverse borrowed elements from. In 2016, Brandon began writing a novella titled ''The Eyes'', based around the concept of answering the [[wikipedia:Fermi Paradox|Fermi Paradox]]. It was never finished, although the first chapter became a Patreon reward for $10 patrons at the time.{{sots ref|2016}} The story of ''The Eyes'' was eventually absorbed into the setting wholesale, although in its current form, it's not fully canon-compliant. Nonetheless, some of its characters are still around by the time of ''[[Skyward]]'', and one of its alien races made an appearance in ''[[Starsight]]''.{{wob ref|12197}} It's unclear which aliens those would be, though they might be the [[figment]]s or the [[dione]], as both are introduced in that book and feature in it prominently. Considering the title, [[delver]]s may also originate from ''The Eyes''.
The name "Cytoverse" itself came about fairly late, almost half a year after the publication of ''[[Starsight]]''. Up until then, the name '''Skyward Universe''' was used, with "cytoverse" making rounds in the fandom until Brandon canonized it at one of his livestreamed signings.{{wob ref|
While so far, the future of Cytoverse includes only the final two books in the Skyward Series, Brandon does have some ideas for more stories in the setting. In particular, he remains interested in the concept of biological FTL.{{wob ref|11965}}
