The planet of Micras has played host to numerous entities over the centuries claiming to be the representatives of powers inhabiting worlds located outside of the Atos system. Whilst the majority of these extramicrasian interlocutors have been human in origin, more or less, some have forms that are fundamentally alien in their very nature - indeed it is these species, such as the safir, that have given rise to concerns about the status of Humanity in the wider galaxy, and fuelled the growth of the Humanist Movement on Micras.

The list of extramicrasian contacts is maintained by the Defence Against Anomalous Phenomena of the Raspur Pact.

Contacting party Year contact established Contact status Dominant species Home world Home system Means of contact Notes
Menelmacar 1476 AN Lapsed after 1489 AN Nekovalkyrja Unknown Unknown Spaceships In 1476 the Grand Star Army, the military wing of the Grand Star Empire, opened up relations with Menelmacar. By 1477, the nekovalkyrja – a species of humanoids with feline features – of the Grand Star Army had established settlements on Hypernostria, which lasted for a few years before being ceded to Menelmacar. Contact with the Grand Star Empire ceased by 1489. However, the Empire appears going strong, under the name of the Yamatai Star Empire.
Grand Commonwealth et al 1519 AN Lapsed after 1555 AN Human Giess Unknown Portal What was originally a colonisation attempt on Giess by formerly Micrasian human powers, spearheaded by the Grand Commonwealth, became an attempt to supplant Micras that ultimately failed owing to an overreliance upon the Hurmu Gate.
Elwynn (Shireroth) 1551 AN Lapsed after 1553 AN Ohl'tar Unknown Unknown TBD
  • An arachnid-like extramicran species suddenly made contact with the ducal authorities of Elwynn in 1551, caused a massacre in Alumelith the same year, and were then eradicated by the Elwynnese authorities by 1553. Very little knowledge of them.
  • Potentially not an extramicrasian species but rather a progenitor of the Deep Singers emanating from the chthonic strata of Micras' prehistory.
  • The completeness of their destruction on the orders of the Khan of Vijayanagara has made further investigations impracticable at the present.
Safir Alliance 1562 AN Ongoing Safir Daia Enâra Spaceships
Gerenia 1590 AN Lapsed by 1665 AN Human Meeredres Lasce Portal Native world of the Gerenian people.
Hoenn
Lapsed after 1674 AN Human Terra Sol Portal
  • Possible ancestral homeworld of Humanity.
  • Also home to a panoply of fantastical creatures known as masu (‮魔獸‬?) or pokémon.
  • Jingdaoese incursion (1607 AN) resulted in the occupation of Sweden, which may be ongoing.
Insulia 1689 AN Ongoing Human Pollin Aurian Portal An aperture portal, locally termed as a "star gate", is believed to link the city of Aleksandrów with its off-world counterpart of Vox.
