Precursor Gateway

The Gateway is a massive gigastructure found near the border of Hysian space by Krypt. Located in the Gyaloran system, it consists of three planet-sized spheres of pure, refined Thilurim, an otherwise rare resource used in warship construction. Before the discovery of the Gateway, this resource was reserved for the flagships of command-level personnel or the most critical battlefleets. The Gateway worldsproved self-regenerating, leading to a number of incidents where mining ships were "eaten" by the worlds. After Krypt showed the Gateway to Ultra, ARD personnel were able to identify the three worlds as massive Precursor constructs, leading Ultra to bring the Alliance's Keystone to the worlds, where they activated, generating a massive portal leading to a pocket dimension containing a Precursor military base, along with a fleet of warships and an army's worth of weapons, armor, vehicles, artillery, and aircraft. Unfortunately, much of this proved to be dead, unable to be restored by any Alliance technology, although several battalions worth of equipment were still active, as well as several dozen ships. Alliance command personnel believe that this construct was not the only one of its kind, which has resulted in an ongoing search for additional Gateways with the Keystone, although no more have currently been found.
