In this volatile time of new and emerging stars, a particularly curious nebula had within it a unique and confusing anomaly\.  The player character Virnu is a Quip, which are sentient spheroid entities that travel freely through space\.

There she discovers this place is not only enigmatic, it's downright hostile\.
