The Starbreaker hummed softly as Lira docked and stepped aboard, greeted by the anxious faces of Titan, Kaela, and Merek.
She wasted no time.
"The Council's experiments go far deeper than we thought," she said, laying out the decrypted data on the holo-table. "They weaponized the Vaelari energy—created Ashfall and others like it. They intended to control the Void itself."
Titan's eyes darkened. "They turned our ancestors into tools."
Kaela clenched her fists. "Now we know what we're really fighting."
Merek's voice was steady, but grim. "This revelation changes everything. The galaxy will never be the same."
Lira nodded, her gaze fierce. "We have to warn the Outer Worlds. If the Council's secrets get out, they'll do anything to silence us."
The crew exchanged determined looks.
The rebellion was no longer just survival. It was a fight for the soul of the galaxy.
