Xenorune Created by Tnynfox Author/s Tnynfox Date Published Unknown Link/s N/A Type Crossovers Tone Comedic Setting Noble Bright Medium Unknown Authors Creator Tnynfox Writer/s Tnynfox Artist/s Tnynfox

Xenorune is a Deltarune AU set in space, or at least the Dark Sector. Characters are various sci-fi species from pop culture, and quotes refer to such.

Lukris Lightwalker is in his room, taking a Zoom class about astronomy. Upon joining the meeting he pairs up with Sharro Meanfang. After the 2 argue a bit the meeting disconnects. Lukris tries to rejoin but accidentally knocks out the room’s power. Heading to the switch box he crosses through Asriel's Room, noting its still-glowing plastic stars. Its floor somehow collapses, and Lukris falls through a swirling portal. He finds himself with Sharro in person both in space, and they try to make their way back home.

Whilst hunting down an alleged civ of humans and Xenos living together, he strayed too close to the Eye of Darkness. There a Daemon known as the End of the Cycle disguised itself as the Emperor of Mankind and promised to help the Imperium of Man destroy all Xenos 50 Terran years from now. Basileus only had to stop a rogue Psyker from closing the Eye of Darkness before those 50 years passed, hiding this deal even from his own Chapter. EotC’s secret plan for that day was to first consume the whole Imperium as psychic fuel, then use that power to attack all other races. When Razii warns him who the “Emperor” really is and that its plan would destroy his Imperium, Basileus calls him a “deceiving Xeno” and orders Lancing Swords Marines to execute the Star Gang whilst “traitor” Jackson Sangclyff watches. The Star Gang trick Basileus into proudly confessing his deal, shocking the Marines at his heresy. Jackson orders those Marines to leave and report to the Inquisitor. Basileus tries to kill the Star Gang himself but they defeat him. A now-weak Basileus then orders the Lancing Swords to set off the Plough’s cyclonic torpedoes and kill everyone on board, but they refuse. The Inquisitor comes to arrest Basileus, explaining he'd been watching the whole battle and thanks the Star Gang for their work. Jackson takes over as Lancing Swords leader and pledges a full review of Chapter policy. Lukris and Sharro give good byes and head on to destroy the Eye of Darkness and return home.

Then the Eye of Darkness opened, sowing war and Chaos amongst them all. Amidst the strife, the Lancing Swords Chapter seized power and took crusade against the other Sci-Fi Armies. For reasons unknown the Lancing Swords emerged victorious, exiling all other Sci-fi Armies from the Dark Sector. A few members of some can be found in the Justice's Plough prison, where they criticize the Imperium of Man compared to their own Army.

Trivia

“Xenorune” refers to “Xenos”, Greek for “alien” or “stranger” and an uncommon name for extraterrestrial beings in fiction. This word is used in Warhammer 40K, and so is what the Lancing Swords Chapter call non-humans such as Razii Nightfeather and Sharro Meanfang.

Sharro Meanfang most strongly resembles a modern Northern Sergal in mannerism, wary of “wild” settings and willing to swallow whole prey, but also has a few civilized Eastern and Southern traits such as use of clothes and firearms. Such mixing appears rare in the Vilous universe and may be at least partly why Sharro is an outcast. Sharro’s gold eyes imply lineage from general Rain Silves, though she lacks the latter’s influence and sexual abusiveness.

Sharro initially calls Jackson Sangclyff and Basileus “generals” and the Lancing Swords Chapter the “Clan of Lancing Ones”, comparing them to Sergal society.

Jackson's “good guy” image obviously contrasts the “bad guy” his Deltarune analogue Lancer wants to be, though again his “good guy” proficiency is highly questionable.

Jackson Sangclyff allegedly smells like “playing cards that did a jog” after fighting but some other Lancing Swords Marines “didn't smell as nice”. This may refer to a few Warhammer 40K book lines in which characters discuss how unwashed Space Marines smell.

R0-XLS is given a partly different role from his Deltarune analogue Rouxls Kaard. He leads his own faction instead of working for Basileus (King) and has little or no relationship with Jackson Sangclyff (Lancer). He is an avid coder and may refer to technology as “tricks” or “puzzles”. He isn't exclusive to Justice's Plough (Card Castle)

Hypaire Technologies resembles real-life technology companies such as Apple and Lockheed-Martin, as well as Undertale’s fictional MTT brand. The name may be a parody of Rouxls Kaard’s “Hip Shop” in Deltarune.

Tredecillion is 1042, or 10 multiplied by itself 42 times. R0-XLS owns at least this many currency units. His actual wealth may be up to 9.99 * 1044 currency units by “Tredecillionaire” definition.

The Inquisitor and Official are implied to somehow be the same person.

Roydes refers to the ”Asteroids” game by Atari. His title “actor of chaos” and generally chaotic mannerism may refer to the asteroid 99942 Apophis, named after Apep the Egyptian god of chaos. His claimed grudge against birds may refer to the Chicxulub impact that killed off most dinosaurs and that birds are modern dinosaurs.

Pyetinn refers to the use of aluminum pie tins to simulate alien spacecraft in old low-budget films.

The Lancing Swords Chapter exiling other sci-fi armies refers to the online claim that Warhammer 40K factions will always defeat non-Warhammer 40K factions in combat. This is also analogous to how King in Deltarune imprisoned the 3 other kings.

The dimension from which Lukris Lightwalker, End of the Cycle, and to some extent Lancing Swords Marines draw psychic power has multiple pop culture names: “Force” (Star Wars), “Shroud” (Stellaris), and “Warp”/“Immaterium” (Warhammer 40K).

The Eye of Darkness strongly resembles Warp rifts such as the Eye of Terror in Warhammer 40K, but End of the Cycle derives from Stellaris. The latter’s mannerism derives from both its Stellaris canon version and Warhammer 40K Chaos Daemons. It can be closed by Lukris Lightwalker, a “Psyker”.

Xenorune was originally to start at Astronomy School with an unused cubicle, but Tnynfox later decided to change that to Lukris’ house.

Xenorune is Tnynfox’s second space-setting AU, the first one being Stellartale. Xenorune is more of a light comical work as opposed to the more serious and concept-heavy Stellartale.
