DISC ONE // ORIENTATION
Start with the box contents
These five files establish what the galaxy is, what it refuses to explain, and which version of a disputed event counts as canon.
CORE / 00
The Premise
The Trellis, the blackout, the wreck economies, and the wager at the heart of every crossing.
Read the opening dossier ↗ RULE / 11Laws of the World
The rules the fiction cannot cheat: travel, information, danger, ownership, and consequence.
Open the rulebook ↗ TIME / 20Master Timeline
A reconstruction of the blackout, the Concord, the Lamp network, and everything that followed.
Unroll the timeline ↗ LEX / 07Field Glossary
Reckoning, traces, mouths, Lamps, the Trellis, route memory, and the language people actually use.
Consult the index ↗ CANON / 19Canon & Variance
What is fixed, what is an unreliable account, and where a player’s campaign may disagree.
Check the red file ↗DISC TWO // FEATURE PRESENTATIONS
Story reels
The setting works best when a rule becomes a decision someone must live with. These are the moments the archive keeps rewinding.
CHARACTER FILE // RELL
Three cards
The climax is a refusal performed through careful work, not a speech.
Open Rell’s file ↗
LONG FILE // STAR NOMADS
Ninefold Patience
A returned ship without a mark on its paint is more frightening than a wreck.
Read the recovered account ↗
WAR RECORD // ORDEL GATE
They Could Not Be Moved
Two moons disappear behind Titan mass. One fixed gun keeps its promise.
Read the battery warden’s account ↗
LONG FILE // VOID WALKERS
Wren exits sideways
Eight traces continue. Wren makes the one wager that pays.
Follow the route mark ↗
MISSION 02 // TRACE MARKET
The older copy
Warmth, dangerous cartography, and the quiet comedy of somebody selling yesterday.
Return to Act One ↗DISC THREE // ART & COMMENTARY
The art cabinet
Not encyclopedia wallpaper: production references tied to exact scenes, interface roles, and canon guardrails.
CHARACTER STUDY
Chart-Warden Rell
Alert means quieter and more intent—not louder. Four production states keep that performance intact.
Inspect the state set ↗
FACTION SYSTEM
Twelve visual grammars
Registry glyphs, homeworlds, and three anchor hulls give every fleet a readable family.
Open the fleet cabinet ↗
UNATTRIBUTED OBJECTS
Things without makers
Physical evidence without readable seams, labels, or a construction method the camera can explain.
Read the unattributed file ↗

DESIGN NOTESBorrowed machinery
How gameplay systems become setting truths without turning the fiction into patch notes.
