The enormous Needle spanning the sky rested in orbit around the Aetherophasic Engine, with a small, unfathomably deep black hole secured to its stern. The black hole's gravity and Horizon Signal were restrained, ready to unleash tremendous propulsion at any moment.
The Horizon Needle, aimed straight at the black hole.
The [Horizon Needle] was the ultimate vessel, capable of holding infinity and rewriting the universe. Built at stage five of [cosmogenesis] crisis ascension, it carried populations through a black hole into a new universe.
It was also the only vessel capable of using a black hole as its engine.
The Heavenly People Empire of Faith had built this "Needle of the Horizon" in the previous era, originally intending to carry its population into higher dimensions.
After the plan changed and the Realm Breakers arrived, the Expeditionary Force hurriedly took these achievements out of the Milky Way, embarking on a journey to pursue the Swarm and destroy other galaxies.
Powered by its black hole, the Horizon Needle had followed the Expeditionary Force and witnessed the entire journey. Now, this ultimate achievement of human civilization had finally returned to where it belonged.
The Horizon Needle was a utility vessel with no weapons installed, but after Poison Saint infused it with the Shroud, it became capable of launching Psionics Attacks.
Now, this unprecedented vessel rested at Azilash, ready for orders at any moment. Its Heavenly People crew had already obtained citizenship in the Sea of Stars Empire and become loyal soldiers of the Sea of Stars Emperor.
