Outside the universe

A sudden torrent of ether‑current hurls the pilot’s ship into a chaotic spin, sending him flailing across a metal‑capped cabin before he regains his footing in the transparent control room. There he meets his two lieutenants—Kor​us Kan, a gleaming metal‑bodied being from Antares, and Jhul Din, a hulking crustacean from Spica—who calmly explain the unexpected turbulence. Together they steer the squadron back onto its assigned path, a routine patrol along the galaxy’s outer rim that suddenly feels anything but ordinary.

Beyond the ship’s narrow windows stretches a luminous ribbon of countless suns, the Milky Way’s sprawling disk glittering against an abyss of absolute darkness. To the left, starlight and cometary glows paint a breathtaking vista; to the right, an endless void hints at other unseen universes beyond the edge of the known. The crew’s mission to maintain order now races alongside a growing curiosity about the mysterious currents that threaten to pull them into the uncharted darkness.
