Lifecycles of the Traveler Spider

Welcome to the Traveler Spider galaxy.

A distant cluster of nebulae home to only one sentient species, the Traveler Spider.

The spiders and their supporting ecosystems have populated every planet in their galaxy.

Every few thousand years the ecosystems on all the planets in this galaxy reach a critical mass.

The atmosphere on every planet eventually becomes too dense and is ignited by the planet’s sun.

Most of the life on these planets is destroyed in this process.

But the spiders do live on.

With the guidance of their ancestors, a few spiders are chosen to restore balance to the galaxy.

Starting with the lesser spiders that live in the hollow carapaces of larger spiders.

These spiders serve a critical role in recolonizing their planets during the harsher seasons.

The giant spiders and their giant hollow carapaces host a complex ecosystem.

Supported by the lesser spiders they carry, the giant spiders must travel across the span of planets.

They do this in search of greener pastures, specifically when their sun is weakened by the seasons.

The spider’s presence can be seen at all scales in this galaxy, thanks to the spider sentinels.

The sentinels are star sized colossi that decide the fates of entire solar systems.

Without the sentinels, the stars themselves would not survive the turn of the seasons in this galaxy.

It’s not all hardship for the spiders though, they do have a season of prosperity in their galaxy.

With your help, and the help of the ancestors, the spiders will continue to prosper for countless seasons.
