Before the first stars ignited in the empty heavens—before fusion burned and elements danced—the universe pulsed with silent longing. It was not a yearning for matter, but for meaning. From that sacred yearning arose the Orrery of the Veiled Spark—not a machine, not a deity, but a living cosmic forge, designed to manifest stars born of consciousness, rather than combustion. The Orrery was whispered into form by the Creator not to populate galaxies with light, but to birth sentient anchors of empathy—stellar beings that would radiate emotional harmony, counterbalancing the chaos of emergent civilizations.
