The Nexus

The Nexus is a parallel dimension. It is poorly understood, but what is known is that physics do not work the same as they do in the universe proper.
Time itself flows differently, often in an erratic manner. People who visit the Nexus sometimes return home in a different day, month, or even year. This can be past or future. However, most visitors return to their proper time.
Knots of strange energy can take on an imprint of a living being, acting as manifested memories and personalities, and serving as the source of ghost sightings within the dimension. One theory suggests that people with neural implants leave behind a "data ghost" if they suddenly die in the Nexus.
Traveling within the Nexus is very different as well. One cannot simply fly to one's destination, they have to will themselves to it.
==Recent anomalies==
A focusing crystal left behind from the war with Tyrannis Eriss in 3032 created a massive instability within the Nexus, weakening its boundaries. A curious effect of this is that it periodically pulls sentient beings from alternate timelines and places them on random worlds. It is unknown if these beings are copies or the original individuals. The temporal transplanting seems to have slowed, or even stopped, as of 3036.
Energy periodically seeps out of the Nexus and enters the universe proper at random points, manifesting within large bodies of solid matter such as planets. This seepage is the source of nexite, an exotic element that has many odd properties. The seepage is the result of the weakened dimensional boundaries. The most common manifestation point seems to be the Glade system.
== Containment ==
In January of 3039, a Xal'Vau by the name of Vallos closed the rift to the Nexus as an act of vengeance against the champions of Etoile for thwarting his plans to overtake the United Planets Armada. As a result, all nexite was rendered inert, and countless business ventures based on nexite mining and processing suffered accordingly. The galaxy overall felt strong economic repercussions due to this, and the UPA collapsed thanks to its investors pulling out for the sake of financial recuperation.Category:Locations
