In 2356, humanity discovered through the Deep Space Eye array that the Gliese 667 system, located in the Orion Arm, was losing its luster. It wasn't exploding or collapsing. Instead, it was being swallowed by an unidentifiable "gray stillness," like a drop of ink falling into clear water. Every probe signal sent there vanished without a trace.

Panic began to spread. People gave this incomprehensible phenomenon a name: [Extinction Calamity]
