===The Deep=== The Deep is a nebula stretching across most of the Phorcius Sector and trailing off into territories outside of the Astronomicon's light. It is made up of a so far unidentified compound with many curious effects; as well as severely limiting physical visibility, it renders conventional auger arrays totally inoperable and dampens communications systems, severely limiting their range. To look out of a vessel and into the deep is like looking at a black canvas, totally bereft of any detail, with even the light of the stars themselves being lost in the mire of the nebula clouds. Long exposure to this sightless, unreadable traverse can have unusual psychological consequences for those caught within, noted for inspiring an almost immediate sense of claustrophobic panic in the average man, and going so far as to drive high order Mechanicus priests temporarily mad. ====Locations of note within the Deep==== =====Mobius/The Lighthouse===== Mobius is a collection of asteroids caught in the Lagrange point between the Phothom Sinkhole and [REDACTED]. An ancient outpost which came to be called "The Lighthouse" stands on the largest of these Asteroids, serving as the primary base of operations for the Krakens. It functions, along with Huginn and Munnin, as a massive scanning array that allows the marines to navigate part of the Deep with relative ease. =====The Phothom Sinkhole===== A small black hole situated just outside of Huginn's Light, the Phothom Sinkhole is - like any black hole - a hazardous phenomena, but the Sinkhole is made doubly so by the nature of the Deep; many vessels, unable to take regular auger scans, do not realise they're caught in its gravity well until it's too late, and they disappear into the dense, murky clouds surrounding it, never to be seen again. The Phothom Sinkhole does have one advantageous effect on the area, however - it has thinned the nebula around itself, creating the Calm Belt, an area more easily navigable than other parts of the Deep. =====Icacian Eye===== =====The Mariner's Cove===== =====The Grendel Star===== =====Potential Webway Hub===== =====XV-024A7J=====
