Marcus Pelle began to explain the rationale of his design philosophy.
"One of the biggest threats plaguing the Sentinel Kingdom is the pirates spilling out of the Nyxian Gap. As you have probably heard by now, the Nyxian Gap is not a normal region of space. Unlike regular space which consists of empty space interspersed with star systems that consist of one or multiple suns orbited by varying amounts of planets, it almost entirely consists of an endless field of asteroids!"
The amount of asteroids floating within the Nyxian Gap defied natural law. Some very strange anomalous effects caused a huge region of space within the Komodo Star Sector and its neighboring star sectors to host a seemingly-endless sea of rocks, most of which consisted of worthless materials.
