View source for Voidgate

The '''Voidgates''' are ancient technological artifacts able to transport objects quickly across the universe using the power of [[Void Kith|void kith]]. Created by the [[Elder Races]] of the [[Vyar]] and the [[Utan Mir]], along with the assistance of the [[Lha Ti]] whom the Utan Mir engineered specifically as vehicles for void kith, the Voidgates are a network of powerful machinery that orbit certain planets in rings that can be kilometers thick. It is unknown exactly how they work, and they are protected by powerful shields called [[Aegisphere|Aegispheres]] created by the [[Y'saari]] to protect them from falling into the wrong hands. In turn, the Y'saari control the usage of the Voidgates through the use of [[Covenant Mark|Covenant Marks]].

The Voidgates are powered by [[Magnetar|magnetars]], special stars that generate a powerful magnetic field, that are always found nearby. Inside, they contain [[Quantum Sphere|semi-transluscent quantum spheres]] that somehow channel energy to the voidgates. The gates are oriented around the magnetars in networks: Either it powers multiple gates in a hub or a single one as a spoke radiating outward. 

Any civilization able to reach and access a Voidgate throughout the ages has had a significant advantage in trade, development, and warfare. Thus naturally, they have been the focal point of many wars. One notable conflict was when a race foreign to the [[Starmourn Sector]], the [[Cleax]], somewow used the gates to invade in mind-boggling numbers. It was this [[Second Cleax Invasion]] that caused the Y'saari to create the Aegispheres after beating off the invaders.
