Collapsed Space

Collapsed Space, also known as Collapsible Space, Compression Space, Hammer Space, Clownspace and by other terms, is understood as a sort of pocket dimension accessible by some Suits. Almost nothing is known about Collapsed Space itself due to the difficulties in accessing and observing it; what is known comes only from observations of Suits that utilize it.
Suits accessing Collapsed Space will collapse in on themselves sectionally, compacting recursively until they are reduced to a portable and usually mundane-looking shape. Any Suit that collapses in this way always automatically ejects its Pilot before submerging itself into Collapsed. It is believed that the collapsed state of the Suit becomes the new "exterior" and serves as both an "anchor" in normal space, as well as a "gateway" from which the true form of the Suit can be withdrawn. If the "exterior" is destroyed, the "gateway" is destroyed as well, and the Suit is lost forever. All mass compacted in this way appears to exist only within Collapsed Space while in this state, with the "exterior" object possessing no outstanding qualities.
Collapsed Space is considered one of the lingering mysteries of Vannai science, and possibly their most impressive feat as a civilization.
