OverviewHistory

A colossal structure located in the Asdana system, with the soaring hotel "The Reverie" as its iconic landmark. Once a frontier prison belonging to the IPC, The Family had modeled it to serve as an interstellar transportation hub and the gateway to the Sweetdream Paradise.

Honkai: Star Rail Official Website

Penacony, also known as the "Planet of Festivities", is the fourth accessible world in Honkai: Star Rail. It can be accessed upon completing Trailblaze Mission chapter Karmic Clouds Faded, War Banners Folded.

It is a planet administered by The Family within the Asdana star system.

The following Mission chapters take place on this world:

Overview

The Planet of Festivities in the Asdana star system, also known as Land of the Dreams. A luxurious hotel positioned above the fathomless sky, Penacony is also a vacation spot where interstellar celebrities party the days away and the affluent from diverse words revel in lavish ventures. People flock here in search of dreams they've longed for or have already buried, and through Dreampools in the hotel are transported to a realm of dreams where everything can come true.

Rarely do guests pay attention to Penacony's heavy past. A millennium ago, it was a frontier prison established by the IPC. Exiled prisoners must survive an arduous journey across vast distances to reach this location, and are then forced to take up a duty: To mend the leak through which memoria seeps into the galaxy. As they labor while being exposed to memoria, the prisoners gradually discovered themselves entering a captivating shared dream world, where they obtained a single shared desire — freedom.

After the eruption of the Cancer of All Worlds, the ownership of the Frontier Prison changed hands. Historical records related to this struggle are scarce and often questionable. However, some accounts clearly state that with the assistance of various factions - including the Mourning Actors, the Masked Fools, the Nameless, and the Omen Vanguards - the prisoners emerged as the new rulers of this nascent realm. Sounds of discord could then periodically be heard during the subsequent times when it became a land of exiles. It was only when The Family descended and took control of the Dreamscape that Penacony experienced unparalleled and explosive prosperity, transforming into a renowned cosmic resort.

(This paragraph is added upon completing Trailblaze Mission Stranger in a Strange Land in the chapter Farewell, Penacony)

During the Charmony Festival in 2158 AE, the legendary tycoon, known as the Watchmaker, sent a galaxy-wide invitation, summoning various factions to Penacony to compete for his invaluable legacy. Eventually, the Astral Express and its crew emerged victorious in this unprecedented festival, averting a grim future where the Cosmos would have become a hollow dream of a dead Aeon. Under the guidance of the Trailblaze, the Planet of Festivities, once lost in revelry, returned to wakefulness. Its people no longer surrendered themselves to the Dreamscape but instead embraced the power to confront reality.

Geography

Reality

Although called the "Planet of Festivities", the actual physical structure of Penacony in reality is that of a colossal artificial space station-like megastructure which houses The Reverie Hotel, surrounded by two small Alderson disks orbiting it. The alderson disks have several landmasses and bodies of water, which were said to be once barren deserts.^[3]

City buildings can be seen jutting out on both from the "top" and "underside" of the alderson disks. Charmony Doves are a species of bird that inhabit Penacony. Penacony is located in the Asdana, a star system brimming with memoria, which has historically been one of the Macro Voids that leaked out from the Memory Zone. The memoria concentration surrounding Penacony is above normal levels.^[4]^[5]

Dreamscape

Penacony's Dreamscape is divided into twelve main discrete dream worlds, collectively called the "Twelve Hours," each corresponding to a "moment" on the clock:

Moment	Basis	Description
Moment of Midnight	Presumably midnight.^[6]	The Moment of Midnight is the starting point of all dreams. People tend to overlook this moment, believing there's nothing beyond the inky darkness it presents. Chuckles and laughter can be heard from entering the dream.^[6]
Moment of Serenity	When the first ray of sunlight shines over the horizon.^[6]	Serenity is said to be where the most terrifying convicts and "interesting people" are held and the jail can be seen on the Nightmare's edge.^[7]^[8]
Moment of Morning Dew	The start of a day.^[6]	Morning Dew is where the majestic Dewlight Pavilion stands, providing a place for high-level members of the Oak Family to discuss business and is where one would go to meet the Family.^[9]
Moment of Daybreak	Presumably based on the early morning.^[6]	Daybreak is where the Dawn Factory is located, one of the many "imagination factories" which processes the foundation of the dreamscape and where workers create all kinds of whimsical works day in and day out in their dreams such as garments.^[10]
Moment of Gilded Hour	Presumably the moment before noon.^[6]	Gilded Hour is Penacony's Currency Center where the exquisitely dressed Pepeshi people of the Alfalfa Family keep fortress-like financial city that is the economic heart of Penacony running, always in a hurry to deposit the Alfalfa credits that they earned into the bank's vault and sending blood that is made from money everywhere on Penacony.^[10]
Moment of Sol	The moment that strikes noon.^[6]	Sol is steeped in Penacony's history and civilization and contain's Penacony's Grand Museum, the Primal Waking Library and the Penacony Paperfold University College.^[9]^[11]
Moment of Oasis	Presumably afternoon.^[6]	Oasis has natural scenes such as Sunshine Park and a beach.^[11]
Moment of Scorchsand	Presumably the moment before dusk.^[6]	Scorchsand has vast fields, wild winds, taverns, and a "festive choice" of venue. It also hosts the SoulGlad™ Scorchsand Audition Venue.^[9]
Moment of Dusk	Presumably dusk.^[6]	Dusk is said to be a shopping paradise of chic, luxury and consumerism, and includes the Penacony Auction Hall among other places.^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]
Moment of Blue Hour	Presumably the moment after dusk.^[6]	Blue Hour is said to be very romantic, featuring a dock, a large boat called the "Eventide" anchored along the Sea of Dreams where extravagant balls and marriage services are organized, and an airship called the Radiant Feldspar that sails through all dreamscapes.^[10]^[11]^[13]^[14]^[15]
Moment of Stars	Based on the 11th hour of the clock.^[16]	Stars has an amusement park, clubs, casinos, and various sporting competitions, including Spheroid, Roboball, and Unicycler.^[11]^[16]^[17]
Moment of Golden Hour	Based on the moment before midnight.^[6]	Golden Hour is said to be the most prosperous "Moment" in Penacony, showcasing an entire city bathed in luxury and is the location of the Penacony Grand Theater.^[9]

Trivia

Penacony was first mentioned in-game in the Memory Bubble: Family, which contains the memory of a person who tried investigating the Family and hoped for an invitation to the planet. A figure named Renoir is mentioned as a presumed member of the Family, although it is currently impossible to tell whether he might still be alive or not.
Penacony was later mentioned verbally for the first time at the end of Trailblaze Continuance Future Market (II) by Aventurine.
When waking up from the Dreamscape, a person will seemingly look toward the sky and fall over.^[18]
The clocks in the Dreamscape are distorted, a reference to Salvador Dalí and his painting "The Persistence of Memory".

Etymology

The name "Penacony" comes from the phrase "penal colony."^[19]
