			The Void was initially built by the long-dead [[Kindir]] in an effort to gather resources and prolong their existence far beyond what they believed to be their natural lifespan. They would do this simply by creating a "buffer", gathering enough usable energy to surmount the effects of the surrounding universe's entropy for as long as possible. Thus, the computer network later known as the Void went out into the universe, and the skies of [[Arehaz]] began to darken as the nearest stars disappeared into the resource stores

}}The '''Void''' was the most dangerous threat to the civilizations of the [[Silky Way]] in modern history, and the destroyer of incomprehensible numbers of people throughout the galaxy. Centered on a megastructural complex known as [[The Colony]] deep in the [[Hiram Sector]], the Void covered territory throughout twelve galactic sectors, several orders of magnitude larger than any modern civilization.

That is, until it was finally defeated in late 150 AC by the [[Working Title Fleet]] led by Admiral [[Su'uni Ash Nikal]]. The closing engagement of the [[War of the Broken Bow]], the climactic [[Battle of the Colony]] resulted in the detonation of a strange matter bomb in the heart of the Void's mainframe at [[The Colony]] itself at the cost of numerous casualties within the fleet.

==Technology and Infrastructure==
Void vessels come in a variety of forms, most commonly geometric and angular in nature. Technology utilized by the Void most commonly comes from civilizations which the Void destroyed and consumed, or basic extrapolations and combinations of them. The Void's powerful computer mainframe works to adapt to any problems or attacks as well, making its ships even more difficult to take down.
===[[The Colony]]===
The Void's mainframe was based in a vast space station in interstellar space within the [[Hiram Sector]], centered upon a long-abandoned [[Kindir]] outpost. Initially based upon the homeworld of their creators, [[Arehaz]], the Void relocated its infrastructure to [[The Colony]] some 11,000 years ago. The Colony was host to enormous processing centers to power the Void's "mind", as well as a vast databank to hold all the information which the Void has gathered over the past 60,000 years. It also had manufacturing facilities, but these were fairly minimal compared to other Void infrastructure encountered, relying instead on the enormous size of Void space, the presumed lack of knowledge of the Colony's location on the part of attackers, and other nearby installations' production capabilities to defend the Colony from any attack.

Of course, in 150 AC, this perceived protection rapidly fell apart when the [[Working Title Fleet]] used knowledge which the [[FSS Kareland]] retreived from a derelict [[Voidspear]] in 126 AC and the Void Underspace displacement drive to quickly travel to the Colony and attack it. The Colony was severely damaged in the first strike, but the shielding locally adapted to the Working Title Fleet's weaponry. After the arrival of a fleet of Voidspears, the Colony and therefore the Void's mainframe were finally destroyed by the detonation of a strange matter bomb by Admiral [[Su'uni Ash Nikal]].
===[[Voidspear]]s===
While the Void possessed numerous starship designs, the most common model was known to the civilizations of the [[Vernarca Nebula|Vernarca]] and [[Apple Nebula|Apple]] Nebulae as the '''Voidspear'''. This ship was of variable length between 1.5 and 11 kilometers from bow to stern and of somewhat variable structure, with no two being exactly the same. The general hull shape was the same for each size of voidspear, but the interior could contain variations in the form of modular systems. The largest model of voidspear held the power, supplemented by local solar energy, to easily break through a planetary shield and destroy an entire planet, as happened to [[Mev'Dar]] in mid-150 AC. A group of them appropriately equipped could combine systems to warp spacetime and trigger a chain reaction within a stellar core, causing it to go supernova when it would have otherwise had too low a mass. These ships were extremely dangerous to all who encountered them, which the efforts of entire fleets required to take down just one mid-size voidspear.
===Void Collecltor Ships===
This form of Void starship was not seen on the field of battle during the [[War of the Broken Bow]]. Instead, it is used to gather the resources left behind by civilizations cleared away by the Void's operations. It was only encountered a few times, by the [[FSS Kareland]] during its journey home from the [[Astros Sector]] as it passed through the [[Void Underspace]] in 126 AC. These ships are enormous, outsizing small moons and destroying planets through mining at leisure. Some can even be outfitted to suck in gaseous material from gas giants, stars, and diffuse nebulae. With the destruction of the Void's mainframe in the Battle of the Colony, all remaining resource harvesting ships are believed to have gone dormant.
===Void Underspace===
Over its 60,000 year history, the Void has developed numerous advanced technologies to assist it in its mission. Foremost among these is the Void Underspace, a so-called alternate plane which drastically scales down the distance between two realspace points. This allowed Void starships to cross the space controlled by the Void on relatively short timescales, and also allowed the [[Working Title Fleet]] to reach the Colony in a few weeks rather than a decade. After the defeat of the Void, the constant maintainance requirements of the network led to underspace beginning to decay away. However, reverse-engineered Void technology from the numerous starships left derelict after its defeat may result in a recreation of the underspace concept in the future.
