Weave Node

Weave Nodes are galaxy sized and larger constructs serving as instant transportation and communication stations across the multiverse, as well as serving as fortresses and places of residence. These gargantuan mega cities were first built following the Ascension Wars, as a logistical base that allowed the instant transportation of goods, populations and information without having to traverse vast stretches of the Void. 
== Function ==
The primary function of the Weave Nodes are as relays which allow safe and instant intra/inter-universal travel between adjacent and nearby universes and other Weave Nodes and Relays. The secondary function of these gargantuan megastructures are to act as anchors against hostile reality warpers and terraformers. To do this, the Nodes themselves house extremely powerful Reality Anchors and Reality Engines that can warp reality and change its laws as the administrators of these structures see fit. A Weave Node with a Godmind is an immensely potent defensive structure, able to guard itself and realities under its power from an assault multiple by Outer Gods on its lonesome. However, Weave nodes are still somewhat susceptible to internal sabotage due to its nature as infrastructure rather than a single condensed entity. 
== Creation ==
The method of creation for Weave Nodes differs from universe to universe, depending on the physical and metaphysical laws present. As a rule, the Nodes take extroadinary amounts of resources to create, with universes where forms of reality warping, magic or psychic power have a heavy presence being generally easier to construct in. The first (and smallest) Weave Node built at Point 01 required several hundreds of quadrillions of times more mass than the Milky Way despite possessing similar dimensions, due to the fact that it was relatively solid and held together by immense lengths of cosmic string. While this would be greatly exceeded by subsequent nodes (which range from material constructs, structures created from psychic or magical power to specially constructed universes) to the then meagre founders of the Weave even this basic and threadbare node was a lofty endeavour. 
The most consistently expensive part of the Weave construction process, however, is the creation of a Godmind. The creation of each one requires the intervention of multiple civilisations and/or an Outer God, needing extremely rare and specific metaphysical augmentation to elevate an AI or uploaded mind to the necessary level. No new Godminds have been created after the Tor crisis, as some of the processes needed to facilitate these augmentations have become hideously risky to perform due to the Tor tainted nature of the Void in the regions that used to be occupied by the network.
== History ==
The first Weave node was established at Point 01 just after the Ascension Wars, using the Diamond Colossus as a foundation. 
After Adremer Tor hit the Weave, however, most of the millions of Weave Nodes are either irreparably damaged or destroyed. Multiversal travel between distant universes has become extremely hazardous, with the remains of Tor littered across the Weave and the Void.
