The Terminus system is located at the very edge of the galactic rim, a solitary star system marking the 'end' of the Empire.
Selected by Hari Seldon for its isolation, the water-world of Terminus serves as the home of the First Foundation. This visualization includes the mysterious Time Vault and the legendary ghost ship Invictus, symbolizing the transition from the old Empire to a new scientific era.
A highly stable Class G3 star of extragalactic origin, roughly 10 billion years old. Because it formed in a low-metallicity environment, its accretion disk was incredibly impoverished.
A solitary Class-E water world starved of heavy metals. Its 342 million square kilometer surface is 93% liquid water, forcing its population to settle across 10,000 isolated islands.
A secure, impenetrable facility located near Cyclopedia Square in Terminus City. It houses the holographic projection systems where recorded messages from Hari Seldon are activated during predicted "Seldon Crises".
The primary logistical hub for interstellar travel, initially laid out by the Imperial Corps of Engineers. Essential for navigating the empty, 8-parsec gulf to the nearest system, Anacreon.
A legendary Imperial jump-ship that was lost in space for 700 years. Discovered randomly jumping through the Outer Reach, it is a terrifyingly weaponized, eerily empty ghost ship.
A sparse field of icy comets and silicate asteroids. The severe lack of heavy metals in this system forced the Foundation to rely entirely on extreme scientific miniaturization and nuclear power.
A frozen, desolate rock orbiting in the deep dark of the system, receiving very little warmth from the distant primary star.
