Some screenshots I took while exploring Birthplace of the Vile from patrol! It's a place that I have wanted to get a good look at for *ages* so I'm glad that I finally managed to since you don't get much of a chance during the strike. The level of detail is amazing! And the area is enormous. All the pyramids and buildings you see in the dark city are actual buildings you can go and climb up (they're not complete buildings, and there's nothing inside, but they are actual solid structures). Also, the wall around the strike area gives you an incredible view of the Throne World skybox. It's genuinely stunning and it's kind of sad you can't really see it well from patrol.

Hope people have fun looking at this, and that they're useful for artists etc.

Just a normal star, nothing to see here!

Pictured here is a shot of a red giant star over 100 times the size of our Sun known as ‘Zrn’, located along the mid-Centaurus Arm of the Milky Way, with a comparatively tiny somewhat-elliptical gas giant in the foreground orbiting it. Also encircling Zrn is a monolithic matryoshka brain (essentially a monumental supercomputer which is constructed around a star) which takes on the form of a relatively thin ring around the equator with trillions of smaller solar panels encompassing the total circumference of Zrn to harvest its solar energy and power the ring. Another highly-important factoid to know about this matryoshka brain, which is colloquially known as ‘Xii’, is that it is conscious – even sophont. As to how Xii gained awareness as a whole entity is not entirely clear, but what we do know is that it was constructed around one billion years ago by a civilisation simply known as the Proto-Yn. The Proto-Yn initiated a project in which they’d form this colossal structure around their home star and upload their minds into it to live out the rest of eternity within a digital universe – a simulated, artificial matrix. Many were drafted into this project (with 57.3 billion individuals originally comprising the collective emerged intelligence that is now Xii) but some resisted, eventually fleeing to distant stars to flee the tyrannical annexation efforts of their ancestors. In response, Xii chased down this group of the Proto-Yn for unclear reasons, though many hypothesise it may be to assimilate them into the virtual realm as a grudge or simply as a result of the pre-built AI algorithms of the supercomputer. Regardless of its true motive, Xii has persistently kept up this pursuit on and off for the past billion years, with this cat-and-mouse chase between the Yn and Xii causing disturbances all over their local region of the galaxy and its native residents.

All that aside, I really only made this post because I felt like making an environmental illustration lol, but rest assured there is much more to Xii and especially the Yn and their interstellar neighbours than I've briefly talked over in this post, so make sure to follow me for future posts which will elaborate on them and the world they live in :)

Also, I used this screenshot I took in Space Engine as a reference:
