Far beyond the reach of the Outer Worlds, hidden beneath layers of asteroid belts and forgotten moons, the black site hummed with malignant energy.
Containment fields flickered and alarms screamed as massive chambers awoke from centuries of slumber.
Within, the form of a colossal figure stirred — an ancient war machine forged from Void energy and Vaelari technology, bound by chains of quantum code.
The Council's voice echoed through the chamber, cold and unyielding.
"Project Ashfall is active. Release the Titanbreaker."
The machine's eyes ignited with malevolent light, and dark energy coalesced around its frame like a storm.
Back aboard the Starbreaker, Titan's comm flickered.
Lira's voice was tense.
"We've intercepted Council transmissions. They've deployed Ashfall. It's… unlike anything we've faced."
Titan clenched his fists.
"Then we meet them head-on. No more running."
Kaela stepped beside him.
"Whatever Ashfall is… we fight it together."
As the Starbreaker set course toward the approaching storm, the galaxy held its breath.
The final battle was coming.
