Most starfarers have a healthy fear of the void. A universe filled with danger keeps pilots tied to well-traveled shipping routes as they travel through the darkness. But those who feel compelled to explore the silent mysteries of space often find themselves drawn by psychic tendrils of entropy towards a black hole in a forgotten corner of the galaxy. This singularity is the hidden sanctum of the Darkstar Acolytes. From here, new acolytes learn the algorithms of stellar decay and join their first pilgrimage to watch a supernova. The most revered Acolytes have stood vigil over the death of hundreds of stars.

 

Of all the beings in the galaxy, the Unity have only ever expressed fear of the Acolytes. Rumors suggest that the Acolytes have the power to speed up the fusion process, bringing a star to its final fate well before its time. Entire systems evacuate when Darkstar ships appear, as no one in the galaxy wants to be on the edge of a stellar cascade. Unity hunters captured a few errant members of the Darkstar Council, but the remaining Acolytes are more focused on locating the next supernova than fighting over Andromeda.

Puzzle 08

Darkstar Acolytes record their encounters with dead stars and stellar clouds. The radiation left behind spell out coded prophecies about building a new galaxy.

The Clue: Darkstar Acolytes record their encounters with dead stars and stellar clouds. The radiation left behind spell out coded prophecies about building a new galaxy.
