Historical Record
Around 2262 an experimental transit goes awry, thrusting a prominent Alliance figure into a disorienting passage across possibilities. From the station’s perspective it is a day of alerts, power reroutes, and improvised problem‑solving as technicians and allies try to stabilize a situation that refuses to obey familiar rules. Communications blur across time and distance while leadership keeps the public focused on safety.
The event is remembered for its reflections on cause and consequence rather than for any single spectacle. It ties together lessons learned during the Shadow War and the campaigns that follow, showing how choices made in moments of fear or hope echo through civilizations. For historians, “the road home” serves as both a technical case study and a meditation preserved in official logs—evidence that even in an age of jumpgates, the hardest journeys are as conceptual as they are mechanical.
