Velok the Younger
When I Was A Young Warthog

Nihil Retreat
Perann Nebula
"They know we're coming, of course."
The Sekairo-class stealth transport cut nebular dust as it made its way toward a nameless planet. Of all the monsters of the Unknown Regions which Fringe had repelled, opposed, conquered, assimilated, this was the greatest enemy, and the one that Fringe had never even tried to contact. This deep in the Perann Nebula, the twelve star clusters of the Nihil Retreat had a constant halo of blood-red stardust, limning every planet and moon they passed.
"Darksight, it's called. I spent a long time as lab assistant to a man who hated the Sorcerers of Rhand with everything he had -- they turned his daughter against him, for one. Left him for dead at some point, maybe a hundred years back. I'm not so much Velok's heir that I'm here to even the score, which is the only reason we're not dead already. The Sorcerers' territory is always varying, world by world, between perfect control and perfect destruction. They destroy to strengthen their knowledge of the future, and their ability to pick the best future. That, and they sort of derived from a cult of apocalyptic god-summoning.
"We're here to find out about them, and more importantly, we're here to find out about other people. I'd be more than interested to learn which Sith faction will rise to the fore and make the biggest dent. Frankly I don't know what's out there right now, but I mean to find out."
