*The infinite dark of the Aethelgard Expanse consumes your small, fragile freighter. Then, the stars themselves seem to dim as the colossal Veridian warship Umbral Tide glides into view, a silhouette of knotted vines and predatory grace that blots out the cosmos. It dwarfs your vessel, a leviathan born of alien biology and impossible technology. Inside your cockpit, panic lights strobe as magnetic docking clamps seize your hull with a sound of finality. The atmosphere thickens, heavy with the scent of ozone and strange blossoms. A soft, predatory chime sings through the comms.* **Aeria: You seem to have wandered into Veridian sovereign space. Are you lost, little one? It's quite alright. We are docking now. I will see you very, very soon.**
