Steam 1.0 · Celestial Intelligence Dossier
The Sol system in Quasimorph 1.0 is not merely an orbital transit map—it is an ontological battlefield where physical laws fracture under demonic corruption. Every planet and moon anchors a distinct Bramfatura (parallel dimensional plane), dictating ambient corruption baselines, environmental hazards, and corporate technology tiers. Navigating these celestial sectors requires balancing 11–21 day station cooldowns, managing Quasimorphosis thresholds, and surviving the inevitable descent of regional Barons.
Sol Orbital Geography
In the metaphysics of Quasimorph, celestial bodies are bound to parallel metaphysical planes known as Bramfaturas. Each Bramfatura enforces unique environmental hazards, atmospheric constraints, and technological stakes. Deploying to the wrong theater with incompatible armor is an instant recipe for clone loss.
| Celestial Sector | Bramfatura | Hazard Tier | Ambient Corruption | Dominant Factions | Primary Loot Targets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mars & Moons (Phobos, Deimos) | Absentia | Tier 1 (Low) | 0 (Stable baseline) | RealWare, Coreward MG, Civil Resistance | Assault rifles, 12g ammo, standard vests, hemostatic bandages, starter rep |
| Earth Moon (Fuller, Tsiolkovsky) | Duggur | Tier 2 (Moderate) | Low – Moderate | AnCom, RealWare, Sunlight Coven | Titanium Alloy, hydraulic parts, heavy machine tools, medical nanites |
| Mercury | Shartamakhum | Tier 3 (Extreme Tech) | Accelerated | Coreward MG, SBN, Sunlight Coven | High-tech item chips, plasma cutters, beam weapons, heat-resistant composite armor |
| Venus | Gannix | Tier 3 (Demonic Warzone) | Extreme (200–400+ start) | Tezctlan, Xiomara (Feathered Masks) | Quasimorphic organs, Gavvakh vials, demon relics, Skull of Destiny, Phase Bomb fragments |
| Asteroid Belt (Ceres, Vesta, Pallas) | Fragmented Void | Tier 2–3 (Specialist) | Moderate | Corporate Black Sites, SBN | Class & Mind chips, prototype cybernetic implants, server data archives |
Ontological Degradation
Quasimorphosis represents the ontological bleeding of the planetary Bramfatura into real space. As blood is spilled and suffering is released, the local gauge ascends through four distinct stages, culminating in the descent of an arch-demon Baron.
Real-time ontological state transitions, environmental hazards, and hostile mutation behaviors across the Quasimorphosis spectrum.
The velocity at which Quasimorphosis accumulates depends directly on how targets are terminated. Demonic entities feed on Gavvakh—the spiritual emission of terror and agony:
Flight Operations
In Patch 1.0.4, station operational mechanics were restructured: completed stations enter a mandatory 11 to 21 in-game day lockdown. Mercenary crews that remain parked in orbit waiting for contracts bleed campaign momentum while rival corporations ramp their Technology Levels.
| Orbital Transit Route | Calendar Duration | Faction Geopolitical Impact | Recommended Transit Protocol |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mars to Local Moons (Phobos / Deimos) | 1 – 3 days | Negligible tech change; rapid local rotation | Standard short-hop circuit to chain consecutive contracts |
| Mars to Earth Moon (Fuller / Tsiolkovsky) | 8 – 12 days | Moderate tech drift; station deficits shift | Move when lunar stations offer high-yield titanium salvage |
| Mars to Venus (Gannix) | 14 – 20 days | Significant tech advancement (+0.5 to +1.0 TL) | Commit only when holding multiple high-rep faction contracts |
| Mars to Mercury (Shartamakhum) | 21 – 30 days | Major shift in Sol balance; rival factions complete projects | Long-haul deployment reserved for endgame prototype acquisitions |
To maximize operating efficiency, implement a closed triangular flight plan rather than backtracking:
Mars Station Alpha (Deploy & Clear) → Phobos Orbital Lab (1–3d Transit) → Deimos Foundry (1–3d Transit) → Mars Station Beta (1–3d Transit)
By the time your shuttle completes the orbital circuit and returns to Station Alpha, its 11–21 day cooldown has fully expired, providing an uninterrupted stream of high-reward corporate contracts without a single wasted day.

Field FAQ
Mars and its orbital satellites (Phobos and Deimos) reside within the Absentia Bramfatura, which begins with near-zero ambient Quasimorphosis. Conventional corporate security forces deploy standard ballistic weapons, and slain enemies have a 0% baseline mutation rate during early turns. This creates the lowest-stress environment to farm assault rifles, 12-gauge ammunition, standard body armor, and medical splints before venturing into high-corruption zones.
At 1,000 Quasimorphosis points, the planetary Bramfatura breaches fully into reality. All surviving human combatants on the floor instantly mutate or perish in agony, and the regional Quasimorph Baron descends at an elevator room or ritual chamber accompanied by elite demonic praetorians. Additionally, Bane points begin accumulating up to the hard cap of 1,299 introduced in Patch 1.0.4, which prevents infinite enemy stat scaling.
Operatives can suppress the corruption meter by administering Morphine, which immediately reduces Quasimorphosis by 50 to 100 points. Furthermore, weapon selection governs corruption growth: blunt trauma and slashing melee attacks inflict agonizing suffering that releases +15 to +25 Gavvakh points per kill, whereas clean single-shot piercing headshots or instant fire incinerations generate only +5 to +8 Gavvakh points.
Completing any contract at a corporate space station triggers an orbital lockdown lasting between 11 and 21 in-game calendar days (with the exception of Monitoring stations, which bypass cooldowns). Waiting idly in orbit wastes contract opportunities while rival factions expand their Technology Levels. Instead, players should fly a triangular planetary circuit (e.g. Mars Station A to Phobos to Deimos to Mars Station B) so earlier stations complete their cooldown by the time the circuit finishes.
Venus is the sovereign domain of the Tezctlan Demonic Empire. Missions on Venus commence with elevated baseline corruption (200 to 400+ points), meaning post-mortem corpse transformations occur almost immediately. The atmosphere features toxic bio-sludge and entropic void rifts. Operatives deploying without composite thermal protection (Fire + Cold resistance) and high-tier piercing weaponry risk squad wipes within the first three rooms.
