Gawain placed great importance on the observatory Philip had discovered in the wasteland.
To those who did not know the truth, that observatory might have been nothing more than a somewhat unusual Ancient Facility—it was old, mysterious, and perhaps held some knowledge or antique value. But across the entire Gondor Wasteland, such ancient facilities would not have stood out much, at most being somewhat better preserved. Gawain saw it differently.

Some landed in the Vepranton Region of Ancient Gandor, an event known to history as the Vepranton Meteor Shower. The Gondor people subsequently built that observatory, along with numerous supporting research facilities for studying the objects that had fallen from the sky. Unfortunately, limited by their technological level, humanity of that era studied them for so long without figuring out what the Voyager Legacy actually was. It was not until the Gondor Empire collapsed, when the Northern Pioneer Army led by Gawain Cecil and Charlie passed through Vepranton, that one fragment was excavated from a basement. Like a hidden thread, it connected the Pioneer Hero on the ground with the Satellite Spirit in space.

The Augustus Family's hereditary head maid, Lady Diana of the black hair, was in truth an "Ironclad Soldier" from the Gandor Era. Before the Magic Tide erupted seven hundred years ago, she had been one of the guards at the Vepranton Observatory. When the disaster
