“At the frayed edges of known space lies the Vermarion Expanse: a region veiled in asteroids, ghosted navcharts, and the myths of lost data-cores. Forgotten by empires and feared by cartographers, it is a place where official maps end - and independent thought begins.
Floating amongst the rocky behemoths, Codexis appears at first glance to be little more than a crusted hulk of slag. But, defiantly rising from its surface, Arce Sciendi stands as a fortress of knowledge protected not by empire or the might of militaries, but by solidarity and force of will. It is here where the Vermin Court convenes: a council of sci-scribes, insurgent librarians and archivists, data-priests, and rogue educators. Their creed is simple—knowledge is liberation—and their mission is unending: to break the monopolies of truth and ignite minds across the galaxy.”
