Magrathean
Master planetary builders who sculpt bespoke worlds from raw stellar dust. World-famous for their meticulous coastlines, tectonic filigree, and fjord design.
Species Dossier: The Magratheans
The Magratheans are the master craftsmen of the cosmos. During the great galactic economic boom, when the richest beings in the universe found ordinary planets terribly mundane, Magratheans manufactured bespoke solar systems to customer order.
Cultural Achievements & Hyperspatial Engineering
- White Hole Planet Fabrication: Magrathean hyperspatial engineers perfected the science of sucking raw matter through white holes in space, assembling it into bespoke dream worlds—including solid gold planets, platinum worlds, and soft rubber planets built with plenty of earthquakes for adventurous plutocrats.
- Coastline Architecture: Renowned for aesthetic mastery of crinkly continental borders, fjords, and alpine valleys—exemplified by the work of Slartibartfast.
- Deep Thought Project: Commissioned by the pan-dimensional mice to construct the greatest computational oracle ever devised to discover the Ultimate Answer.
- The Imperial Economic Collapse: Magrathea's luxury industry was so extraordinarily lucrative that it absorbed the Galaxy's entire circulating currency. While Magrathea became the richest planet of all time, the rest of the Galactic Empire collapsed into abject starvation, leaving the world to fade into the obscurity of myth.
- Industrial Precision: When extracting minerals on planetary surfaces, Magratheans yield $+45%$ refined material due to intuitive knowledge of tectonic layering.
Earthling (Human)
Ape-descended life forms who are so amazingly primitive they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. Remarkably resilient when armed with a towel and a warm cup of tea.
Sirius Cybernetics GPP Android
Equipped with Genuine People Personalities (GPP), this android possesses a brain thirty billion times larger than your own, yet is routinely assigned to pick up dirty towels.
