Additional Dimensional Theory Information

Quantum Location Dimensional Theory

Dimensions do not have materialistically static positions. This means you cannot assign time-space coordinates to it, or a longitude and latitude. Dimensional positions act something like the existence of an electron orbiting a nucleus in Chemistry's molecular quantum mechanics. If you have not studied such things, I will explain what I mean. Dimensions, as said above, do not have static positions, they are dynamic. They actually constantly blink in and out of existence all over the multiverse, they are never really in one place at any given time. The way interdimensional scientists determine the location of a dimension is by finding a "cloud" of where the dimension will most likely exist. Basically there is a cloud that determines the highest probability of where a dimension will be in the past, present, and future. This cloud is actually shaped something like a ring. There is the inner ring (alternate Earth Prime timelines), the second ring (other dimensions), and the outer ring (the void dimensions).

Biological Dimensional Travel

Dimensional Travelers, Dimensional Lords, and some a few other beings have the ability to travel throughout the dimensions by opening portals. What these beings have are specially hardwired parts of the brain that have evolved past the rest of their body. This part of the brain is actually connected directly to the multiverse's Imagination Energy continuum. Each dimension has its own Imagination Energy signature, so a being can hone in on that signature and make the interdimensional connection between their time and space and the target's dimension's time and space. With this connection, the being can then open a portal and step through it without ever having to worry about Quantum Location Dimensional Theory; their brain does all of those calculations inadvertently, as if it was second nature. However, a major backdrop to the brain's ability to search and be-in-tune-with the multiverse's Imagination Energy continuum is that sometimes a dimension's unique Imagination signature can be blocked. Like the Amethyst dimension, some unique devices can cloak the Imagination signature from the rest of the continuum, basically making the location "vanish" from the memories of all interdimensionally travelling beings. Another issue is that the part of the brain in charge of feeling the continuum is very sensitive to Aganonces wavelengths. If the area an interdimensionally travelling being is in is in proximity to a device that is emitting non-destructive waves of low wavelength Aganonces, the being's ability to open portals will simply be disabled.

Inorganic Dimensional Travel

The empires of Amethyst, Sapphire, and E.D.D. were all able to use ships to traverse the multiverse, without having to use their portals. This allowed Dimensional Lords to be protected from ambush, and allowed vast armies to be transported from one dimension to another instantaneously. However, inorganic dimensional travel is a whole lot different than biological dimensional travel, where the wondrous brain did all of the calculations, and had a direct connection to the Imagination Energy continuum of the multiverse. For warships and the like, another process has to be performed. A dimensional travel device has to take into account the Quantum Location Dimensional Theory, because it is unable to connect to the dimension directly from the Imagination Energy continuum. What happens is the device has to search the probability cloud rings for the dimension. Using a special equation that calculates the exact location of the dimension in any given instant in time, the device can quickly rip a hole in dimensional fabric, connecting its local dimension to the target dimension. Using high frequency Aganonces, the device suspends the rip in time, allowing any amount and any size of vehicles to pass through to the other dimension. When all have passed through, the device can seal the hole with no damage to the dimensional continuum.

Other Empires:

There have been other multidimensional empires besides Amethyst, Sapphire, Emerald, UIPF, and EDD. These dimensions rarely lasted very long, and were usually either destroyed or integrated into Sapphire or Amethyst.

Coojon Nation:

Coojon was an Emerald Empire lord. During a skirmish with an Amethyst Fleet in the early days, far before the Maelstrom War, Coojon's ship's dimensional travelling device was damaged. However, instead of it exploding, the device simply went haywire, teleporting him to the opposite side of the multiverse, somewhere that had never been visited before by the three empires. Realizing this, Coojon decided that he could use his skills and technology to build an empire for himself. He went to an unwitting empire, and presented himself to them, as their savior. The entire planet submitted to him, and thus the Coojon Nation was born. Reverse engineering his ship, Coojon began to build up fleets of interdimensionally travelling fleets, which he taught his subjects how to command. In a couple million years, he was ready to embark on dimensional conquest. The empire managed to take control of at least a dozen adjacent dimensions before the slowly expanding Amethyst and Sapphire Empires came in contact with them. Initially the meeting was friendly, with Coojon claiming that he only wanted to have a small nation that he could lead peacefully. Unfortunately, this was not true. Using diplomacy, Coojon fooled the Amethyst and the Sapphire Empires from letting down their guard, then, Coojon hired a Dimensional Lord-gone-mercenary, Orion, to disable Sapphire's communication systems. Orion completed his side of the job, and Coojon invaded Sapphire space. However, this is as far as Coojon's plan got. Amethyst came to Sapphire's rescue, and Coojon was repelled forcefully. Amethyst and Sapphire then proceeded to attack Coojon space until Coojon himself asked for parley. It was granted, and finally Coojon managed to convince Sapphire and Amethyst to allow his nation to survive, with only a couple severe sanctions put in place. Coojon managed to avoid destruction, but that was not all the troubles that were coming. Barius, Coojon's right-hand-man, then attempted to lead a rebellion against Coojon. It half-succeeded, with Coojon's entire empire erupting into chaos. Eventually Coojon approached Barius with a compromise: if the rebellion stopped its attacks, he would split the nation in half. Barius agreed, and the Coojon Nation split into the Coojon Nation, and the Barius Nation. At this time, the Maelstrom War began, and the Coojon Nation was closest to the outbreak. Though they held out valiantly for a while, the Coojon nation was completely destroyed and Coojon was killed.

Barius Nation:

The Barius nation, formed from the Coojon Nation during the Barius rebellion, was smarter than their sister nation, with Barius being a more intelligent and idealistic leader. Thus, when the Maelstrom invaded Coojon space, instead of choosing to stand and fight the flow of enemies, Barius chose to evacuate his occupied dimensions and leave the Coojon Nation to their fate. Barius and his people sought protection from the Maelstrom from the EDD, who granted their request on one condition: they would join the ADEPT (see below). The Barius Empire agreed, and they became integrated into the ADEPT. However, Barius was killed during the Maelstrom War, so, when the war finally ended, the Barius Nation was absorbed by EDD, instead of becoming independent from ADEPT like arragned.

ADEPT:

ADEPT, or Allied Dimensional Enforced Protection Treaty, is like the multiverse version of the League of Nations. This group was formed by the Rerenhaw Council of Amethyst, who decided that the entire multiverse needed to stand up to the Maelstrom. All dimensions with either multidimensional fighting capabilities or the understanding to fight the Maelstrom that were independent of Amethyst, Sapphire, or EDD, joined this nation-like group to fight the invaders. ADEPT contained dimensions like the Star Wars dimension, the Star Trek dimension, the Halo dimension, and the LEGO dimension. Each dimension in ADEPT was obligated to send a percentage of their troops to the Disney dimension, where ADEPT had its headquarters. The troops sent there would be split up into battalions that would be mixed with other battalions from other dimensions to form ADEPT armies. These armies would be dispatched all of the multiverse to combat the Maelstrom wherever it was seen fit. ADEPT was the only nation that was allowed to send a representative into the Rerenhaw council, so it had a special diplomatic connection to Amethyst. When the Maelstrom War ended, ADEPT was disbanded, and most dimensions (besides the LEGO dimension) willingly took a dimension-wide mind wipe, erasing all memories of the Maelstrom War from people's minds.

Dukarse:

Dukarse was formed by a Sapphire Lord that had gone rogue. While fleeing from his former friends, this Dimensional Lord managed to fake his death while in the Marvel Universe. With Sapphire off his scent, this Dimensional Lord was able to plot his revenge. After over a billion years of plotting, he decided to build up his own nation, and devote it to bringing down his former friends. Using technology he had cobbled together from the Marvel Universe and the Star Wars dimension, he built massive war facilities in an abandoned dimension in the outer rings of the multiverse. These facilities were completely automated, and were designed to build fully automated armies. However, this was not the Dimensional Lord's secret weapon. During his travels as a fugitive, he had picked up the secret to a psyche-active neurotoxin that gave victims a mob mentality. With this toxin, he would be able to infect whole populations, and turn them into blood-thirsty armies devoted to destroying the Sapphire Empire. Thus, the Dukarse Empire was born, consisting of nothing other than mindless civilian-turned-warriors and automated soldiers. The initial invasion of Sapphire territory went well, with Sapphire too surprised to fight back against Dukarse, but, as time went on, the massive armies of Sapphire began to mobilize. In literally no time at all, Dukarse had lost all of its footings, and was pressed back to the small collection of dimensions that it had started off with originally. Unfortunately, thanks to the neurotoxin-infested armies of Dukarse, Sapphire was reluctant to wipe out Durakse's galaxies because of the civilians that were being victimized there. Sapphire then turned to Amethyst for help. Amethyst agreed to aid Sapphire, and sent teams of Dimensional Lords to disable the weapons and neurotoxin facilities. They were successful, but, while they were doing so, the Amethyst Dimensional Lords saw tell-tale signs of the Maelstrom in the far reaches of Dukarse's dimensions. Unsure of what was going on, Amethyst ordered its agents, as well as all Sapphire troopers, to retreat so that they could study the phenomena from a distance. The moment they retreated, the Maelstrom burst upon what was left of the Dukarse Empire and consumed it all, wiping it out completely and killing the founder.

The Winniex Empire

During a skirmish between a fleet of Coojon ships and the Maelstrom, a single small Coojon fighter was shot. The attack did not damage the ship, but it did depressurize the cabin, and kill the pilot. As he died, the Coojon pilot accidentally activated the emergency dimensional jump drive. The ship jumped, and landed randomly in an alternate timeline of the Winnie the Pooh dimension, the one with the Baksoon. The ship landed in mint condition right next to Winnie the Pooh's house. Pooh investigated the ship, and realized that it somehow held incredible capabilities. Using the database, Pooh educated himself on the ways of the multiverse. The more he learned, the more he wanted to know, so soon Pooh cut himself off from all of his friends so that he could truly understand what was "out there" without silly obstructions like "love" and "friendship." Eventually, Pooh knew what he wanted to do: he wanted to make an interdimensional empire. Using the ships technology, Pooh reverse engineered it, so he could build more, and allow him to arm fleets of warships. He then proceeded to kill all of his friends (except Tigger, who survived miraculously) so that they could not learn what he had learned. With his friends all dead, Pooh then proceeded to fly to other nearby dimensions, posing himself as a visionary and a savior. The people of these dimensions flocked to him, and pledged their allegiance to him. In less than ten years, Pooh had five dimensions under his control. He had an empire, and he called it the Winniex Empire. Still using the information he had gleaned from the one Coojon ship that had landed in his home dimension, Pooh (now calling himself Winniex) proceeded to build up whole fleets of interdimensionally travelling ships. With these ships, and his armies of obedient and fanatical followers, Winniex proceeded to invade all dimensions adjacent to him. Luckily for him, the Maelstrom War was in full-steam by the time his invasions began, so Amethyst, Sapphire, EDD, and ADEPT paid no heed to his advances. Finally a small rebellion, subsidized by a couple members of the Rerenhaw council, managed to fight back against Winniex. Winniex, completely underestimating his enemies, ignored their attacks, and proceeded with his plan of domination. Due to his incompetence, Winniex's oversight cost him his life as the rebellion broke into his fortress. Winniex was killed by Tigger during a final battle between the rebellion and the Winniex Empire.

The United Federation of Colonies

This is the youngest of the interdimensional empire families, making its presence known 430 Billion years after the defeat of the Maelstrom, and the creation of the Enigma Empire. Unlike most other interdimensional empires, this nation did not become a superpower by accident, with advanced technology inadvertently landing in their realm. Instead, thanks to a uniquely abundant inflow of Imagination Energy from Earth Prime to this dimension, the human race here possessed a greater knowledge of interdimensional travel than most other dimensions, including almost all of the Earth Prime timelines. The Federation first began its production of interdimensional devices after an encounter with a deeply scarring sup-space anomaly, caused by a build-up of Imagination Energy. This anomaly tore a hole in space-time fabric, and scans of a neighboring dimension made it to all ships in the vicinity. These ships took this information to the Council of the Federation, and, after receiving all of the scans and info, the Council promptly executed the captains and crew of all the present ships. With the information, the Council figured out a way to track Imagination Energy, and began to hunt for the sources of the scarring sub-space anomalies. Eventually the hunt led to a planet, named Equi-3, in the system Cel-1. Equi-3 was, in truth, an alternate timeline to the My Little Pony dimension that had accidentally become embedded in the Federation's universe via an astronomically improbable multidimensional accident. Knowing that this dimension held the secrets to multidimensional travel, and knowing that there was enough Imagination Energy building up around the system, the Council ordered a covert take-over of the system (breaking every law in the book) so that the present Imagination Energy could be harvested. Knowing how troublesome all infant interdimensional nations could become, the Enigma Empire is keeping tabs on the Council, and is unsure whether or not the new member of the interdimensionally travelling family will inadvertently help or hinder them in their attempt to end all life in the multiverse.
