Vorskel Expanse

The Vorskel Expanse is a massive void in space near the center of the Verion Cluster created in the year 2167 at the time of the Vorskel's complete and total disappearance from the cluster in the middle of the Liberation of Horra, which takes up the entirety of the formerly controlled space of the Confederacy of Kesh. There are no stars or even detectable interstellar material of any form able to be found in this region regardless of sensor technology being used, with the only object present in this region being an incomprehensibly large construct at the core of the region centered at the former location of the Vorskel home star of Rakesh. Despite the expanse being completely devoid of matter, there is no sign that the surrounding space has reacted to fill in this void and instead it appears that the expanse is maintaining itself as an empty hole in the galaxy.

The cause of the Vorskel's disappearance along with the creators of both the expanse and the structure at its heart remain unknown.

Monument of Kesh
The only object able to be found in the entirety of the Vorskel Expanse, this structure is found taking the place of the Rakesh system. The structure measures at 160 AU across, and is composed of a large central torus and 6 arms reaching outward from its rim. It is made up of a white, glowing, crystalline material that cannot be identified by any scans and has no counterpart within the entirety of known space, the only thing that can be determined is that visually it appears as if this monument was 'grown' instead of manufactured. Within the heart of the structure's central torus and surrounded by pylons, what appears to be a 3D representation of the entirety of the confederacy's former territory with star distances truncated for them to all be visible together; closer scans and observation however suggest that it is the former territory just shrunken down to be contained within the structure. Close approach to within under a distance of 100,000km of the structure's surface is physically impossible by any means, with even dimensional FTL drop attempts within this range resulting in appearing outside this zone on arrival in real space. The surface of the structure itself is covered in innumerable fine engravings that detail the entire history of the Vorskel's race and more; despite how fine these details are, attempts to read these inexplicably is an easy task with a telescope even when the details should otherwise be blurry or hard to make out.

Attacking the Monument
Attempts to engage the structure with intent to damage or destroy it are incredibly inadvisable; while the structure has no equipment like fire control, turrets, or any other visible mountings, it is fully capable of protecting itself. Intent does appear to be detected by the structure, as its most extreme responses seem reserved for those genuinely attempting to damage it, whereas craft simply trying to test it will find themselves stripped of weapons after continued attempts. Energy weapons fired at the structure will disperse harmlessly by the 100,000km point and physical ordnance is rapidly slowed to a stop by this zone and once stopped, is destroyed by a white energy beam that appears to emanate from empty space around the structure. Regardless of where this beam originates, it is instantly in connection with its target no matter the range and the target disappears as if simply deleted from reality. Ships attacking the structure with intent to damage it will be targeted by this same beam, which is capable of instantly striking any point in the galaxy - meaning that even theoretical FTL weapons platforms will be destroyed from across the cluster or further. Remote controlled craft will also be deleted along with the distant control room of these vessels being destroyed simultaneously.

RP Notes:

 * The Vorskel Expanse is only recently created IC, meaning that for most people, the void and all of those stars blinking out of existence are not visible from their home space.
