Description[]
The Traveler (simply known as Traveler or the Wanderer) is a semi-corporeal entity or series of entities, which has made an appearance all over the Via Sagittaria Galaxy and Aylothn-Sagittaria Group. The Traveler is an urban legend among those living in the United Federation of Star Systems, which allegedly takes the form of numerous species across many historical events. Ranging from the founding of the UFSS to The Exhumation, The Traveler has been seen all around history, especially preluding tragic events. It is told that The Traveler is also a sign of great boon or great depression, as the events that follow their appearance are very major in magnitude.
According to legend, The Traveler utilizes the Continuum and black holes to travel through time. The Traveler has apparently used this to travel all across the Aylothn-Sagittaria Group and the greater Virgo Supercluster. Since the Traveler is very much unpredictable, there are no records on its official species or identity. This has started several theories on what exactly The Traveler is, but none of them are entirely correct. Many irregularities and unusual factors make these theories very hard to prove.
The myth or fact status of The Traveler is also very hard to prove, considering that it is known that others have tried to imitate them. Any 'real' instances of The Traveler usually flee with an amount of foresight, always managing to escape and disappear in anomalous or non-anomalous fashions. There are also rumors about The Traveler being an android or AI, though this is not confirmed either. There are also some who believe that The Traveler is actually an artificial superintelligence created by a lost civilization. These people claim that The Traveler was originally built for a purpose, and then later became self-aware.
Among all stories on the Traveler, some factors stay the same. For one, The Traveler appears to act a bit erratic compared to average people. It is also known that they appear to create convincing fake identities, or like to hide out in obscure areas. Instances of The Traveler also stay in a position for a similar and fixed amount of time. Some say that The Traveler will truly leave when the universe is at peace, while others say that they will stay and observe events.
Sightings[]
Sightings of the Traveler usually precede or happen in very important events, as explained earlier. Many historians and eyewitnesses have collaborated to create a list of events that the Traveler has been involved in. Documentaries and stories of the like have also been created around The Traveler. There is a popular tale recounting numerous appearances all across the The Vault's Incident in the War of the Ancients. This tale is also the most recorded and photographed, but it yielded no useful results. A table of prominent Traveler sightings is below:
| Location | Descirption | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Earth | An anomalous robed figure was spotted during the formation of the United Federation of Star Systems. It is told that this figure often appeared and disappeared, making it likely that this figure was the Traveler. | 2300s CE |
| Aeros | Some kind of entity was spotted near the building in which the UFSS admitted the Stuugruiks to their nation. This figure was spotted by several people before turning a corner and vanishing. | 2550s CE |
| Lowrokira | The Traveler was reportedly on Lowrokira during Commonwealth's Eclipse, running on foot at incredible speeds as bombings ensued. An old eyewitness report suggests that The Traveler boarded a ship or mysteriously disappeared like other cases. | 41000s CE |
| Vault of Secrets | A mysterious and ornate ship, seemingly civilian, was spotted near the Vault of Secrets during The Vault's Incident. The area was heavily guarded and closed off to any citizens, so it is not known how this ship got here, but it appeared to observe the event up until the Vault of Secrets exploded and the War of the Ancients began. | 88072 CE |
