Terminus
Before the Tali-Artas line was effectively destroyed in the Skirmish of the Steppe, trains which had served their time were forked to their last stop here. Terminus was run by a group of androids, but when their connection to the TFX branch in Artas broke down with the line, they became unallocates. Since no attempt was made to retrieve them, after having become unable to perform their duties they dedicated their remaining grasp to establishing and sustaining a small community. Eventually the graveyard turned into a promised land; runaway androids are generally welcome in settlements, but Terminus is their ultimate destination — rumors circulate about androids with extended grasp, local sawbones and even “talent scouts” from DCs.
Scavenging: Terminus stands on Axis-rich ground, but most groups would struggle to sustain themselves in this barren place. Androids, however, have just the resources they need.
Leadership: few attempts were made to clarify the structure of Terminus society, so little is known about it.
Factory: Terminus consists of storage sidings and a small factory, which is used to salvage rolling stock with the help of a crane affectionately called “Granny Cranny”.
Remnants: there are of course many other abandoned train depots on Kyos, both on the main railway network and its branch and spur lines.
Miasma
After Gambler’s Fallacy was shut down, companies which participated in the project needed to find a place to dispose of the already mined felandrite. The waste was hurriedly buried in a convenient location at the base of the Convict river, and the results were both comical and harmful. The river became polluted and turned black, while the discarded but still functioning purifying drones from the mines swarmed to the burial site, and, having been unable to reach their target but feeding off its energy, have been endlessly circling around it to this day.
Drones: small but tough and agile XP bags. You’ll want to hunt them down.
The Conduit
The Conduit stands in the center of The Void… “ever unchanging,” I want to write, but this time, even from several hundreds leagues away, I could already feel the faint beating of its umbral heart. Had this motion always been there? I search my memories, but there is nothing of the sort. And here I thought that the cradle of the wards I failed had been frozen in time, as if in hopes that one day we will all come back to it. Now it appears that even we are unwelcome; the NRC never let just anyone nearby, but it’s gotten worse — I have seen Higher Corrupted being twisted into more gruesome designs, and that is saying something. I will stay, then, to study it more. — Diaries of Elara, Entries From The Void, 500 AW
Heart of the Void: is that… Gantz?
Welcome to the NRC! The main entrance was located on the other side of the building.
In Minotaur: a certain card-collecting character will be more than happy to shed some light on the mysteries of the facility… for a price.
