As the reach of space gate technology expanded, so did the threats it posed. With any faction capable of opening wormholes anywhere, no place was truly secure. Assassinations, planetary invasions, and resource theft became almost instantaneous. The balance of power teetered on the edge of collapse.
Dr. Kael and his elite minds within the Imperial House needed a solution—a way to control and, if necessary, restrict access to certain regions of space. Thus, they developed the Lockdown Protocol, a counter-technology capable of destabilizing the exotic reactions of Element Omega.
By strategically deploying Omega Disruptors, they could create zones where space transmission was impossible. These Null Zones became safe havens, military fortresses, and hidden enclaves for those who sought refuge from the chaos. More importantly, they served as a deterrent, ensuring that no single empire could use the space gate system unchecked.
But as the Imperial House tightened its grip on the universe's greatest discovery, powerful enemies began to rise. Nations, corporations, and warlords saw the Imperial House as an obstacle to their dominion. Secret alliances were formed, conspiracies whispered in the shadows.
The question was no longer whether Kael could protect his creation. It was whether he could survive the coming storm.
Would you like to introduce a major antagonist—perhaps a rival scientist, a rogue empire, or a powerful corporation trying to overthrow the Imperial House?
