Scattered across the galaxy in remote or hidden locations, Aekosi compounds serve as sanctuaries for the few Aekosi who have escaped slavery or were born beyond the reach of the Sovereign regime. These compounds are self-sustaining enclaves built on principles of community, healing, and survival. While they vary in size and structure, each offers protection, resources, and a rare sense of belonging to a people long hunted and oppressed.
Designed with both function and comfort in mind, the compounds feature shared amenities such as dining halls, game rooms, libraries, and common spaces meant to foster connection. Yet every Aekosi also has private quarters—spaces that honor individual autonomy and allow for moments of stillness in a life often defined by trauma. Many compounds also maintain training facilities and medical wings to ensure physical well-being and preparedness in case of discovery or attack.
Though their exact locations are kept secret, whispered rumors of their existence circulate in dark corners of the galaxy—and those whispers enrage the Sovereigns. Each unaccounted-for Aekosi is viewed as both a threat and a failure of their control. And as tensions rise and rebellion brews just beneath the surface, these quiet enclaves may soon find themselves at the center of something far greater than simple survival.
