Sanctuary and the Unseen Fleets
Among the more terrifying Catalysts in our sector is Sanctuary, sometimes called the everstorm, sometimes a cosmic monsoon, and sometimes a void storm, though there is no void magic involved.
While the cause is debated, the storm's existence is undeniable and covers approximately one cubic light year. The entire mess is littered with planets, asteroids, occasionally a star, and for those bold or foolhardy enough to risk the deep storm there is a trio of powerful Catalysts.
Those Catalysts are detailed individually below, and I'm quite proud of my writeups. No one had been that deep into the storm and recorded it, so far as I knew. They certainly didn't discover the storm's true origins, which I found shocking.
Fans of Virkonna...I'm just reporting the facts as found within the mind of Hotep, the god she slew. The peaceful god she slew. The pacifist god who ran a divine city where no violence could be done and all were welcome. Nefarius tricked her, if it's any consolation.
Sanctuary requires a durable vessel, an amazing pilot and bridge crew, and considerable magical defenses. Once inside the storm you'll be met by the Unseen Fleets. They're a local legend on Sanctuary station, and other local mining ops.
The truth is far more terrifying. The Unseen Fleets are comprised of rusted hulks from every era of ships. They can keep anything flying, and they weld it together with necrotech. That isn't clear from outside the ships, but having been inside one of their vessels...eww. Muscle and bone everywhere.
If you are going to venture into the storm you're doing it from Sanctuary Station, which is by far the best of many jumping off points. Administrator Bokken is a professional weasel, but he knows that outright cheating customers is bad for businesses, and keeps the gouging to a comfortably outrageous level.
The station has all the amenities you'd expect. Restaurants, forges, and everything in between. If you have questions post them below and I'll get them answered!
