Description
[Gravity: 0.5G internal, Pressure: 1.0ATM internal, Distance: 0.8-16AU, Replaces Southern Air Temple]
The Upper Temple was unique in that it followed a figure-8 orbit around the sun and black hole, an unconventional path that changed constantly, and which took it within rendezvous distance of most other inhabited worlds. To maintain the health and strength of inhabitants and visitors, some of this temple’s modules rotated to provide artificial gravity, although its residents largely preferred to spend time in 0-g, working and playing either outside the station, or within the confines of the larger farming bags. The Upper temble hosted a large population of warp bison and flying lemurs, and was the birthplace of Avatar Aang. Near the start of the hundred years war, a Fire Nation attack depressurized all of the temple’s living areas using shrapnel mines, and the surviving nomads were picked off by machine gun fire and boarding parties. Nobody lives there anymore.

Questions you may have:
- What am I looking at here?
- This is the world of Avatar the Last Airbender, except instead of being set in an industrial-revolution-era earth-like Asiatic fantasy world, I have removed all those industrial-revolution-era earth-like aciatic fantasy bits, and have reinterpreted all the show’s characters, events, and locations into the far depths of
- O U T E R S P A C E
- Why would you do this?
- I recently watched ATLA for the first time, and fell in love with the characters and the world, and wanted to do something special for it. However, the fandom is about a billion years old and a billion fans strong, so any fanart has likely already been done, and the show’s writing and plot are so solid that fanfiction could do more disservice than good, so I figured hey, I’m a huge sci-fi nerd, why don’t I just give it the ol’ Treasure Planet treatment?
- This could be an awesome writing prompt for other people.
- Why should I care?
- Momo as a cute space alien
- Azula in power armor
- Learn cool science concepts such as ‘entomophagous’, ‘ekranoplan’, ‘tidal locking’, ‘V.A.S.I.M.R.’, and ‘Lagrange Points’
- Ponder interesting tidbits about how a hard magic system could influence technological options among spacefaring nations
- Sokka’s first girlfriend turned into a black hole.
- Isn’t it supposed to be ‘Airbender’? Why ‘Voidbender’?
- This is the only large change I had to make to the magic system. Airbender powers would be unable to embody the philosophies of freedom and fun in space. Voidbending takes its place; it relates less to a physical material, and more closely to the manipulation of gravity and spacetime, which fits better thematically and is necessary to the plot, as will be explained in the voidbender link.
- Could you elaborate in excruciating detail?
- Yes.
- Can you draw [insert favorite character/scene/ship here] in this AU’s style?
- Yes, I’ll draw whatever the heck. Name it.
- Did you change the ‘spirits’ to make them aliens or something’?
- Nah, I kept the spirits the same.
