As Aldred and his crew traversed the unpredictable Veil of Shadows, their ship emerged into a vast expanse dominated by colossal, planet-sized circular space stations. Each station bore a massive mechanical ring that encircled it, creating its own gravity and atmosphere. The sight was awe-inspiring, and Aldred couldn't help but marvel at the scale of these structures.
"Is that a space station?" Aldred asked.
"Seems like it. But it's much more advanced than what we used to see in realspace."
The space around the stations was bustling with activity. Ships of various shapes and sizes, representing different factions and species, docked to resupply, rest, and exchange information. It seemed to be a hub for travelers navigating the Veil of Shadows, a place where the normal rules of law and order were replaced by an unspoken code of mutual understanding.
