Sector 99 — Youth District — Nehari Planet — Northern Hemisphere
Silence... a silence so deep it pressed against the soul.
The colossal shipyard—an industrial titan sprawling across a significant portion of the planet's surface—lay in absolute stillness. Normally, it was a place of endless noise: engines roaring, machines clanking, welding sparks crackling like lightning, workers shouting commands, alarms sounding, and transport ships flying in and out like migrating steel birds.
But now?
Nothing.
No echo of metal.
No vibration of machinery.
No rumble of reactors.
Even the faint hum of life seemed muted—breaths held, hearts paused, anticipation frozen in the air.
An hour earlier, every worker had abandoned their stations. Engineers, pilots, builders, formation scribes, energetic seal technicians—thousands upon thousands—had gathered, forming a massive sea of uniforms and expectant faces.
All eyes, without exception, were locked on one single figure…
Her Highness, Zara.
