Estranged Mother Theory

The Estranged Mother Theory is a theory popular in xenobiology, especially among the SDO. It posits that life in Elm, Julee and Earth finds a common origin in an extraplanetary First Universal Common Ancestor. This FUCA entered through fragments of an initially single celestial body, probably an asteroid, which shattered at some point during its course. This object has been tentatively named several times, with the most popular term nowadays being the Ark of Sugar, sometimes shortened to simply the Ark. The "sugar" in its name is in reference to ribose, the sugar backbone of RNA.

Origin

Several probable impact sites Elm and Julee have been found, although recognising ones on Earth is by now impossible due to its destruction in 143 PE. Several triangulations have been made attempting to decipher where within the Milky Way the Ark of Sugar originated. The most popular theory posits that it was originally part of a planet, called Estranged Mother (Áonak: Šaqqüq ʼǘqü), located somewhere within VS Leo Albus.
