Voyage Beyond the EdgeCaptain Arin Thorne stood on the foredeck of the Odyssey, the last and greatest of the world-ships. Before them stretched the Veil—a shimmering, silent wall of light that marked the absolute edge of the known universe. For a thousand generations, humanity had lived in the star-dusted sphere it contained. The laws of physics, it was said, did not exist beyond it. To approach was death. To touch was heresy.But Arin was a heretic by trade. The Core Worlds were dying, their suns fading one by one. The Odyssey was not a ship of exploration, but an ark.
