USS Stardust

The Awakening Spire

The USS Stardust is dispatched to investigate a dormant spire on a remote planet in the Shackleton Expanse, whose newly active energy emissions resemble ancient Vezda signatures and may pose a scientific, tactical, or cultural risk.

Mission Description

Framheim Station has detected unusual energy readings from a system deep in the Shackleton Expanse. A single planet hosts a dormant spire—the massive, kilometre-high structure thought to be connected to the origin of the Shroud. Recent scans indicate that its energy orb, long inert, has begun emitting subspace pulses. Preliminary analysis suggests this could be a natural phenomenon—but its pattern is eerily similar to ancient Vezda energy signatures.

The USS Stardust is tasked with investigating the planet and the spire. The crew must determine whether the awakening energy presents a scientific opportunity, a potential threat, or a risk of cultural contamination to a nearby civilization.

New Horizons

USS Stardust: The Awakening Spire

The USS Sausalito glided through the docking bay of Starbase 47, the massive structure reflecting the soft glow of nearby stars. Captain Harper N. Brooks stood at the head of her bridge team, the familiar hum of the Sausalito beneath her feet serving as a reminder of years of service. Today, [...]
