Alpha Plane

The Alpha Plane is a somewhat ancient dimension somewhere just outside of "reality". It was created during a molecular impact, which in turn generated a miniature black hole that sucked sopme matter into a space... Elswhere, I guess it was known as back then. After an excessive amount of time, and many thousands more such collisions and random events, the Alpha Zone came into being, seperating itself from Elswhere during an excruciating split from Elswhere's membrane. After due time, the dimension cooled, and life came into being, as did everything else in the universe.

The Portal of Existence
Of course, all the interesting things could not have found their way to the Alpha Plane without some help. The indigenous lifeforms of the area created a grand portal through which all universes were connected (it took some serious brainpower, believe me). Many creatures and much more matter flowed into the Alpha Plane, expanding it and giving the indigenous lifeforms a severe headache (problem). Some of the first creatures to come through were the Matoran (a few got lost), Protodites (drifted through), Skakdi (not all are bad, some eventually became the equivalent of police), the Tarox (a few evolved into highly sophisticated deities), and many forms of Rahi (some of which entirely moved to the Alpha Plane). Energized Protodermis is one of the things that attempted to cross, but were repeled by the opposing forces of space-time and a race of hyperintelligent pan-dimensional beings. The Portal soon began to be unstable, and was sealed away, along with the indigenous species of the plane, in the center of the massive solar reenergizer that had been created many millenia previously to restart dying stars, that is, to break them back to the original material and get it going again.

The Indigenous Species of the Alpha Plane
The Indigenous Species of the Alpha Plane are a strange and reclusive bunch, so not much can be said about them. However, it is known that the species is relatively octopus-like, with large brains and exceedingly agile tentacles, of which there are twelve in number (five each in two groups, two thicker ones that can be used almost as legs).

The Star Gate was the location of the Portal of Existence, before it was moved to an isolated star in the Beta Trail.
