The Fracture
The Sphere was once a single continuous shell, a vast Dyson world forged by the mysterious Builders and held intact for millions of years. That ended when the Void set its plan in motion, turned one faction against the whole, and triggered the catastrophe that shattered the Sphere apart.
No one truly understands why the Void wanted the Sphere broken. From the shadows they deceived Ignis into striking the shell itself, blasting it into thousands of disconnected fragments. Now each shard is a battlefield, a homeland, or a ruin. Fleets cannot move freely between fragments through normal space because ferocious Void storms choke the gaps between them.
