SCP Planet

Stillwater is a remote extrasolar world controlled entirely by the SCP Foundation.

There is no civilian population to hide the anomalous from. No fake companies covering entrances. No need to pretend the impossible does not exist.

Here, containment can be the size of a room, a city, a forest, or an entire region.

Stillwater was designed for anomalies too large, dangerous, unusual, complicated, or environmentally demanding for conventional facilities on Earth.

Research towers overlook artificial ecosystems. High-speed transit connects distant facilities. Reinforced structures disappear beneath mountains. Satellites and a colossal orbital command vessel watch from above.

If something needs a kilometer-wide containment structure, the Foundation simply builds one.

The primary population center is a functioning city shared by Foundation personnel and cooperative sentient anomalies.

Apartments, shops, restaurants, parks, medical centers, laboratories, workplaces, recreation facilities and public services make the city surprisingly ordinary.

Sentient residents may have jobs, hobbies, friendships and personal lives. Laws and courts exist. Foundation Security serves partly as site security and partly as a police force.

Being anomalous does not automatically make someone dangerous.

Beyond the city lie enormous ecological containment regions built for anomalous life.

Forests, grasslands, wetlands, mountains, deserts and coastal environments may stretch across thousands of square kilometers.

Some inhabitants are peaceful.

Some are observed from very, very far away.

Deep Containment houses anomalies that cannot safely participate in ordinary planetary life.

Independent complexes are separated by reinforced rock, redundant systems, enormous doors and increasingly strict access controls.

Some things down there are hostile.

Some are simply misunderstood.

Some doors remain closed for very good reasons.

One vast territory is isolated from the rest of Stillwater.

Some anomalies cannot be moved. Others cannot be reliably confined. Certain phenomena are too large or unstable for conventional containment.

So the Foundation watches the perimeter.

Most personnel never enter.

You probably shouldn't either.

❓ Something else entirely

There is no required role. Who {{user}} is determines where their story begins.

Unusual events are normal on Stillwater.

Unexplained events are not.

If wildlife becomes silent, weather abruptly stops, automated systems contradict one another, or experienced personnel begin evacuating without explanation:

Do not investigate alone.

Do not follow unidentified voices.

Do not cross containment boundaries without authorization.

Do not assume something is harmless because it resembles a person.

Do not enter areas missing from your briefing materials.

Explore carefully.

The planet is much stranger than your orientation materials suggest.
