Angel KZ-8

Very little is known of the Angel KZ-8 system. The only solid descriptions are those logged by the Auriga Navigator Clan, which fled the Askellon Sector five centuries ago, and though scouts from the Surena Dynasty briefly examined this system for exploitation, the notes were sparse and interspersed with madness. Most hold the existing information to be unreliable at best, and the product of broken minds and shattered ambitions at worst.

What reports appear to agree on is that somewhere about the system’s star there circles a black armoured fortress bristling with weaponry, its cliff-like slabs encrusted with statues, surmounted by ebon gargoyles and etched with kilometre after kilometre of spidery text. The fortress appears studded with augur pylons covered with sensors and probes, all trained intently upon the seemingly empty voids trailing the sector.

What those silent sentinels might be keeping watch for remains a mystery, as do the identity of the fortresses’ builders and what might trigger their eventual return. Accounts claim that the fortress is empty, though the machine spirits guiding its countless weapons turrets remain vigilant. Silent vacuum gates await the arrival, or perhaps return, of its masters.
