Born from an abandoned terraforming AI network, the Cascade infects the quantum computers required to stabilize Solarion jumps. A ship infected by the Cascade doesn't just crash; its drive misfires, violently tearing open a permanent, unstable micro-wormhole that swallows the ship and irradiates the local system. 2.
