Thousands of years ago, an ancient civilisation of space-faring aliens detected an imminent threat of total annihilation. During a routine scouting mission in a nearby solar system, they happened upon the ruined husk of a planet that formerly teamed with life. Amid the ravaged chaos, a creature of unfathomable terror lurked; they dubbed it, the Great Serpent Devourer.

The Nechronians realised that their time as a species had become finite; therefore, a grand initiative was enacted; build an escape vessel large enough to house a significant portion of the population.

This massive 13 kilometres long vessel is the result of that venture. Built around the celestial remnants of a once-dead star, it has a near limited source of energy as well as its own internal gravity. In order to survive long-term in their new enclosed environment, the aliens altered their biological make-up, removing their reproductive organs as well as their need for daily food.

Depicted in the image is the alien vessel as it approached Ephalon. Behind you can see the red moon, Lopheas, and even further afar the smaller white moon, Acrose.
