"When the noise fades, what remains are the echoes and the questions no one dares to answer."
Locals describe the events as uncoordinated collapses sudden evacuations, systems shorting out, and in some cases, physical distortions in nearby space. The kind of phenomena that draw investigation… and then warnings to stay away. No authority has claimed jurisdiction, and perhaps that’s intentional. The breaches happened far from faction borders a place where oversight goes to die.
Recovered logs suggest that Liin’s early work focused on “synthetic resonance manipulation” an attempt to reproduce Force-sensitivity through artificial means. A concept many dismissed as myth, or madness. But the number of interested parties who moved after her data breach tells another story.
The Black Sun Syndicate reportedly placed a bounty, though whether it was to claim her or erase her, no one can say. Others smaller groups, private fleets, even Force-aligned sects followed, converging on her trail. And then, nothing.
These events remain unconfirmed, and officials across multiple sectors have declined comment. Still, the rumors persist of a pulse, an unseen wave that left space itself unstable in its wake. Some call it an accident. Others say it was a test. A few whisper the name Catalyst Protocol, like a warning.
Independent researchers, however, are less reserved. Some suggest that Liin’s experiments could have interfered with subspace itself, creating feedback between natural Force fields and synthetic ones. Others reject the idea entirely. But all agree on one thing the readings don’t lie. Something was changed.
The story ends where it began: with a signal too dangerous to trace, and a galaxy that’s already trying to forget it was ever sent.

OUTER RIM NEUTRAL SECTORS — THE SILENCE AFTER THE SIGNAL
By the time most noticed, it was already over. The laboratories were gone, the staff scattered, and the woman at the center of it all Liin Terallo had vanished. What remains are fragments: scorched databanks, incomplete research files, and a string of anomalies across half a dozen star systems.Locals describe the events as uncoordinated collapses sudden evacuations, systems shorting out, and in some cases, physical distortions in nearby space.

THE AFTERMATH OF A VANISHING — AND A PATTERN LEFT BEHIND
The facilities bore no consistent insignia, yet their core code shared a single tag buried in their transmission headers: Project Catalyst. Every lab hit the same way. Doors sealed. Communications cut. Then silence.Recovered logs suggest that Liin’s early work focused on “synthetic resonance manipulation” an attempt to reproduce Force-sensitivity through artificial means. A concept many dismissed as myth, or madness. But the number of interested parties who moved after her data breach tells another story.

STRANGE ECHOES — AND WHISPERS OF A FAILED EXPERIMENT
Since her disappearance, navigational authorities have logged increasing reports of “resonance shadows” localized gravitational shears and temporal drift near the sites of the former labs. In one case, an entire salvage crew vanished mid-transmission; their ship reappeared three hours later, intact but empty.These events remain unconfirmed, and officials across multiple sectors have declined comment. Still, the rumors persist of a pulse, an unseen wave that left space itself unstable in its wake. Some call it an accident. Others say it was a test. A few whisper the name Catalyst Protocol, like a warning.
POLITICAL SILENCE — AND SCIENTIFIC UNEASE
The Galactic Alliance has issued no statement. The Diarchy and Empire have denied involvement. Even the Jedi enclaves usually quick to comment on Force disturbances have remained quiet. It’s a silence that feels deliberate.Independent researchers, however, are less reserved. Some suggest that Liin’s experiments could have interfered with subspace itself, creating feedback between natural Force fields and synthetic ones. Others reject the idea entirely. But all agree on one thing the readings don’t lie. Something was changed.
KNOWLEDGE, CONSEQUENCE, AND THE PRICE OF DISCOVERY
Liin may be gone, but her shadow remains. Whatever she was trying to prove, the results are written across the stars not in records or testimony, but in the distortions themselves. Maybe it was brilliance. Maybe it was arrogance. Maybe both.The story ends where it began: with a signal too dangerous to trace, and a galaxy that’s already trying to forget it was ever sent.
