Fthosians

Overview

Fthosians are people from Fthos, one of the four origin worlds represented among the visiting Geometers aboard the starship Daban Urnud. Within the ship’s internal politics, they are associated with the Fulcrum, an opposition movement set against the Urnud/Tro alliance known as the Pedestal.

First known context

Fthosians are described by a Laterran linguist during preparations for a mission intended to approach the Daban Urnud. Those accounts outline how the ship’s population comprises communities from Urnud, Tro, Laterre, and Fthos.

Relationships and affiliations

• Fulcrum: Reported as led by Fthosians and positioned in opposition to the Pedestal.
• Geometers’ community: One of four peoples living within the Orbstack of the Daban Urnud, alongside Urnudans, Troans, and Laterrans.

Roles and activities

• Political leadership: Said to lead the Fulcrum, the principal opposition to the Pedestal among the visiting Geometers.
• Participation in the Command: Children from Fthos, along with those from Urnud, Tro, and Laterre, are educated to vie for positions within the ship’s Command structure.

Culture and life aboard the ship (as described so far)

• Community arrangement: The Orbstack’s living spheres are divided among the four peoples, with some mixing between communities. Daily life includes water‑borne habitation and on‑roof food cultivation; education is emphasized to sustain the voyage.

Current status

• Location: Aboard the Daban Urnud in orbit, as part of the Geometers’ multi‑world community.
• Situation: Involved in the ongoing split between the Fulcrum and the Pedestal.
