Description
The Void, Or blackspace to scientific communities is a difficult realm to understand. What is known however is that Black Holes act as a gateway into plane of existence and that there is almost no way of escaping once you enter.

For the actual realm beyond the Black Hole, probes and an ill-fated expedition showed it to be devoid of any light, native terrain or lifeforms... Mostly. The Void is host to the derelict remains of an untold number of ships, stations and fragmented planets. While it isn't know if the void is infinite or a enclosed space. It observed to have a centre, where the Heart of the Entity resides within the derelict remains of a Hephaestus support vessel. Crews of vessels that have entered the void are stranded in a time loop. where they perform their last actions up to and including entering the void. These 'Shades' are impervious to damage and are capable of limited speech, and are able to interact with things outside of their loop if it gets in the way, such as in the way of a bullet or laser.

The few escapees of the Void have been scarred with significant PTSD, often screaming incoherently or chanting not too dissimilar to the Cult of Nar-Sie. Although the Scientific community has been quick to dismiss the connection as nothing more than a coincidence. The realm itself is extremely hostile to life, with shadows being observed to attack living creatures with long, dark appendages, capable of even impaling victims. Impaled victims do not die however, and are instead forcibly made to carry out the will of the Entity.
