The Seam

Junction

First in The Drift

A navigable node in the Seam network — a place a ship can traverse to or from.

In full

Junctions are the ports of the Seam: the fixed points the network connects. Some are catalogued and instrumented; some are anomalous and flagged for review. A ship folds from one junction to another. The charted network of them is the navigable, ledgered half of the universe.

Key facts

  • The fixed points the Seam network connects — a ship folds from one to another.
  • Catalogued ones are instrumented; anomalous ones are flagged for ISCA-TI review.
  • Wound-coupling at a junction is graded from Instrumented up to Catastrophic.
  • The charted network is the navigable, ledgered half of the universe.
