The Bleed A space between spaces. A hypermembrane that exists outside of spacetime that stretches across the galaxy and the greater universe. It is theorized that this membrane is what keeps parallel universes apart. Discovered officially by Dr. John Silver in the late 22nd century. The Bleednet A side effect of the discovery of the hypermembrane. Data and information traveled much faster through it than through traditional means, enabling intergalactic communication. Bleedengines Another side-effect; interstellar travel times were more than halved via travel through the membrane. Fueled by solar radiation, these engines pierce spacetime and allow ships and other vessels to surf the Bleed.
The Cyntaff

Golden rings forged by the Uzrath, designed to channel power created at the dawn of time and house the consciousness of The First--an energy being also made at the dawn of time. It serves as a guide and companion. First wielded by Enehvah the Uzrath, the rings have been passed down to female sentients for billions of years.
Those chosen to wield the Cyntaff retain all the skills and memories of their direct predecessors. Ring bearers are surrounded by a protective light barrier, or aura, that the user can harden and soften at will to use offensively and defensively. Ring bearers can see across the electromagnetic spectrum--dubbed The Sight--and can fire off beams of superheated plasma offensively.
