The Strange Reality Solar System

This universe features a fantastical as opposed to scientific outer space environment. Spaceships are powered by magic and are capable of flying into not only the sky but into space. With their own fields of gravity and atmosphere, the ships have open decks and tend not to resemble the spaceships of science fiction, but instead look more like galleons, animals, birds, fish or even more wildly fantastic shapes. Flying ships travel through the vast expanses of interplanetary aether space (the universal medium that permeates space, based on a now outdated scientific theory), visiting moons and planets and other stellar objects.

One of the treasures that spurred the races was the discovery of "Flight Wood"; a cultivated plant with anti-gravity properties that allow for the construction of giant floating ships. Flight Wood seems to exist on every planet within the system. The other is the Mana Helm which allow a method of converting magical energy into motive power for interplanetary but not interstellar space travel.

The Phlogiston (also known as Aether) is a bright, breathable gas-like medium that exists between the planets within the system. What is beyond the system is unknown as noone has ever ventured that far and returned.
