Unknown - Gelime's Golden Age Originally known as the Nimbus Regulator, this station was constructed during Gelime's illustrious golden age. It stood as a testament to the Great Inquiry, an architectural marvel designed with a singular, benevolent purpose: to gently moderate the planet's weather patterns through harmonic resonance. For an unknown period, it functioned as a vital component of planetary stability, maintaining atmospheric equilibrium across the world.

Approximately 25 Years Ago - The Red Sun Dominion's Annexation A seismic shift occurred with the Red Sun Dominion's Diplomatic Annexation of the region. This pivotal event marked the end of the Nimbus Regulator's peaceful existence. General Kaelen Thorne, a key figure in the Dominion's advance, swiftly seized control of the sophisticated facility shortly after the annexation.

Approximately 25 Years Ago - Conversion and Consequences Under Dominion command, the Regulator underwent a brutal and forced transformation. Its delicate weather-modulating systems were ripped out and replaced, retrofitting it into an aggressive industrial harvester. Its new, sinister purpose was the violent extraction of rare ion isotopes and heavy gases, critical components for fueling the Dominion's vast fleet. This radical conversion, however, severely unbalanced the station's gravimetric engines.

The imbalance gave rise to "The Drift," a terrifying operational quirk where the station now moves with unpredictable velocity vectors, skidding erratically through the upper stratosphere. Compounding this peril, the facility began plowing through the lower edge of the debris field left by the destroyed Vael Station. As a direct consequence, the entire plant is perpetually enveloped by a hazardous cloud of floating scrap and pulverized debris.

Ongoing - The Null Hypothesis Resistance Despite the Dominion's harsh occupation, a subtle form of resistance persists within the station's forced workforce. The Gelimian technicians, compelled to work at gunpoint, employ a method they call the "Null Hypothesis." They intentionally miscalculate the navigational dampeners by fractions of a decimal, causing the station's already erratic journey to be nauseatingly rough for the occupying Dominion soldiers, all while attributing the intense turbulence to unavoidable atmospheric shear. The Location currently remains critically unstable and is under strict martial law.
