There is story told by all manner of spacers, of ghosts sent from the void to turn back anyone who ventures too far into the Wild Space beyond the galactic disk. Pilots that frequent the Outer Rim know this cautionary tale best:
From our home sun we venture out,
Into the unknown, for riches we scout,
From star to star, our reach is far,
Coffers full, coin in jar,
But beware the black, and surely turn back,
For if the unknown chills your breath,
In the gaze of a Starweird,
You may find death.
To many this story is just that, a story, designed to warn us of the dangers of Wild Space. Few know these stories to be true...
~~~~~~~~~~
Several distress calls have been picked up coming from ships being attacked by "apparitions". Most would chalk it up to psychosis from prolonged exposure to the endless nothingness beyond the galactic disk, as they say, "Stare into the void, and the void stares back."
However, these happenings have been getting closer to the galactic core. First was Excarga, then Hypori, Roon, Rishi and the latest above Bothawui. If this pattern continues, Dressel could be next.
No one has yet connected these events, still believed to be isolated incidents.
The unsuspecting populace of Dressel was in the path of an unprecedented plague, little did they know...
The Starweird are coming.
(I've done this event before on another site and it was spectacular, it turned into an insane galactic-wide free for all. I highly doubt it'll snowball like that again but I at least wanted to give it a shot on this site.
If I can get enough people interested, I'll elaborate on what it's all about.)
