This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
And I veto that. If you have some kind of huge thick structure sticking out of the ship, it won't be made transparant to being hit or getting stuck behind roids - because other factions will start to ask for the same concessions for their ships. So you're either left with mr spikey which is frapping useless in roidfields, which is the primary place that ship operates - or you get what you have now, which is actually useful.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
