Sphinx-space was a region of space controlled by the Gods and home to the sphinxes. (PROSE: Dead Romance)
Description
Sphinx-space was centered around a single planet (PROSE: Dead Romance) located on the edge of the galaxy. (PROSE: Dead Romance, The Book of the War) The planet was covered by the Kings of Space, who created sphinx-space by manipulating the fabric of space around the planet. (PROSE: Dead Romance)
History
After pushing Mictlan away from the universe to be devoured by the Memeovore, a flotilla of War TARDISes, now unable to travel through time, (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5) were stranded with some surviving Celestis servants in the distant past of the universe, in the earliest days of the Spiral Politic and outside the jurisdiction of the Homeworld. On a planet at the edge of a spiral galaxy, the grounded timeships created a global information network, and the freed servants either tried to rediscover individuality or wiped their memories and became children. The planet was already inhabited by some proto-sentient lifeforms. (PROSE: The Book of the War)
Billions of years later, the planet on the galaxy's edge had become the centre of sphinx-space. It had a reputation for being deadly to any travellers. Chris Cwej told Christine Summerfield that the Evil Renegade took his timeship and his human slaves into sphinx-space and waged a "one-man war" against the Gods, wrecking the cities of their followers and shedding the Gods' blood over whole countries. From the greater universe, sphinx-space appeared to light up with fire from the spaceship battles. However, Chris said, the Evil Renegade was ultimately defeated, he abandoned his human slaves in sphinx-space, and he escaped in his time machine with the bottle universe.
In the 2590s, the Great Houses were keeping the bottle universe on Simia KK98, and sphinxes from sphinx-space swarmed the planet. In exchange for the bottle universe, the Houses gave the Kings of Space the secrets of time travel, delivered through the blood of clones sent into sphinx-space. (PROSE: Dead Romance)
