  Nexus Name: The Lord's Veil
• Nexus Alignment: Neutral
• Size: Planetary
• Strength: Strong
• Accessibility: N/A
• Effects:
• Nethersink - Things that die on merides do not go to the netherworld like on most other planets, their souls stick around on the planet, cycling through the crystals in the Valley of the Lord. These spirits remain for all eternitity and do not become one with the force. This is the main problem with using the force on Merides, any disturbances in the force can attract these spirits, and use of the dark side can have catastrophic consequences, including the creation of foul demons Malum.
• MUTATION! - Many strange beings find their home on Merides, changed by the strong force energies which reside there. These can vary from the terrifying 50 meter tall Malum, to the blood sucking force sensitive Vitae. They are almost always gifted with some connection to the force, but it very rarely comes without its consequences.
• Call of the Ancestors - Powerful force users, especially light sided ones, can use the qualities of the nexus to converse with and draw upon the power of their ancestors. This requires a very strong connection to the force to sustain for very long, limiting most users to a complex form of soothsaying.
