Cadmus Empyreum, Deep Space Orbital Nexus and Exo-Relay

In the year 4881 in the Cosmopolitan Cosmos, spacetime transport has transcended traditional physics into the realm of discorporeal transit, called "discorp" for short. Matter is reduced to it's constituent energy and reconstituted to its exact tonal frequencies at the desired location instantaneously. The technology faces fierce opposition by traditionalists, but its utility largely overrides detractors.

Cadmus Empyreum, also called The Nightstone, orbits the super-massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, siphoning dark matter to power its systems.

Established a century ago as one of many endeavors by the Perihelion Accords, the station becomes representative of the tenuous peace between the Shield of Shin and the Technocratic Democracy, both a symbol of connection and tenebrous mystery.
