Arc Station

Hanging in the void above Solaris like a silver crown, Arc Station stands as the most enigmatic legacy of the Builders. This massive ringworld structure, with its gleaming central sphere visible from the planet's surface, represents the pinnacle of Builder engineering and remains largely unexplored despite years of Elyndrian expeditions.

Arc Station is a colossal ring structure with a massive central sphere orbiting planet Solaris, visible from the surface on clear nights. This Builder relic remained dormant for millennia until Elyndrians accidentally activated a Builder Gateway and discovered dormant automaton attendants. The station had suffered a catastrophic power loss, leaving these caretakers in suspended animation.

Among the station's mysteries, the Elyndrians found a sealed chamber containing dormant Builders, a tantalizing glimpse into the past that remained inaccessible. They managed to reactivate one attendant named Zetta, who now guides explorers through Arc Station's labyrinthine corridors, gradually revealing its ancient secrets.

Notable Locations

The Archives
Located deep within Arc Station's inner ring, this vast repository contains thousands of floating crystal shards preserving Builder knowledge in crystalline data matrices. Zetta has helped Elyndrians develop interfaces to access portions of this information, though much remains encrypted or requires Builder neural patterns to fully access.

The Builder's Hearth
A colossal chamber with architecture designed for beings of immense stature, featuring towering arches and massive pillars. At its center lies a grand Builder Gateway with glowing glyphs and shimmering energy, capable of transporting travelers to any other Builder Gateway throughout the cosmos with the correct coordinates.

The Observation Deck
Occupying the uppermost level of Arc Station's central sphere, offering panoramic views of Solaris and the cosmos through massive transparent panels of virtually indestructible material. The chamber houses sophisticated stellar mapping equipment and planetary monitoring systems that maintain records dating back thousands of years.

The World Engine
Located at the heart of Arc Station's central sphere, this colossal mechanism houses an enormous energy cannon capable of creating entire planets. Zetta revealed that the Builders used this technology to seed habitable worlds throughout the galaxy, including Solaris itself. The Engine remains mostly dormant, operating at minimal capacity while Elyndrian scientists study its revolutionary cosmic formation technology.
