The Keaos Star System.
Human Standard Era, year 5203. Five cycles of twelve years have passed since the Treaty of Weiyang was signed.
A Kalilaien-class reconnaissance frigate sits motionless in the boundless darkness of space. Before it, a gigantic artificial structure, over 100 kilometers long and wide, gleams in the sunlight. Behind it lies a precisely arrayed fleet.
Whether in the searing orbit close to the star or the mist-shrouded reaches near the edge of the Oort Cloud, people throughout the Keaos Star System's space cities have gathered before holographic screens, holding their breath as they await that sacred moment. Everyone in the system is watching.
At last, the long journey of sixty years has reached its end. Today, people will light a star.
A series of loud announcements rings out over the broadcast systems aboard every spacecraft.
“Begin the energy reaction system self-diagnostic.”
“Energy reaction system check complete!”
“Space oscillator charged!”
“Bohr-Star System Interconnection System check complete!”
“Curvature parameter group calibration complete!”
“Curvature maintenance system check complete!”
“Backup power system self-check complete. All systems nominal!”
No matter what, Lage's official book is just beautiful.
The short stories and background setting stories officially written by Raglan are always good. I have watched all the 12 short story videos while playing the game.
The stars are hope
