Storm zone: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:27, 11 June 2021

This article has a separate continuity.
This article is in the Dynamite Comics separate continuity, which is related to the Original Series. Be sure that your contributions to this article reflect the characters and events specific to this continuity only.

Following the Nebula Ambush, the Fleet happens across another "fork in the road," featuring a well-charted sector of space and a "storm zone" (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #6).

The storm zone, also referred to as a quantum storm (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #7), consists of high energon stellar storms that blue flight, lead by Lt. Starbuck, investigate. In returning to Galactica, blue flight's Vipers are found to be charged with high-static energon fields, which discharge into void lightning that hits Xam and causes a total power outage aboard the battlestar (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #6.

Upon hitting Xam, the discharge awakens latent psionic potential, which grows due to the proximity of the energon fields of the storm zone. These psionic abilities project false yet immutable beliefs that Earth lies at the center of the storm zone, heavily influencing many people in the Fleet, including Commander Adama (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #7—#11).

Due to Cylon engagement into the unnamed, coreward quadrant by Capt. Apollo and red flight (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #6), Commander Adama approves going through the storm zone (Classic Battlestar Galactica Vol. 2 #7.

Notes

The "storm zone" can be seen as an analog to the magnetic void to Kobol.

-A certain '''black hole''' singularity is an artificial creation of {{alt|Iblis}}, leading to a [[Iblis' planet|world]] where his followers had been first exiled after being being cast out by the [[Seraphs]] untold thousands of [[yahren]]s prior.
+Following the [[Nebula Ambush]], {{alt|the Fleet|TOS}} happens across another "fork in the road," featuring a well-charted sector of space and a "storm zone" ({{comics|vol2|6}}).
-This black hole bridges the Colonial's known universe and a separate universe, ensnaring many hapless denizens for an untold period of time due to its devastating effects on ships that pass through it. The fact that it "hides" in normal space only to be "sprung" on unsuspecting ships is unnatural ({{comics|vol3|1}}).
+The storm zone, also referred to as a '''quantum storm''' ({{comics|vol2|7}}), consists of high [[energon]] stellar storms that [[blue flight]], lead by Lt. {{alt|Starbuck|TOS-DE}}, investigate. In returning to ''{{alt|Galactica|TOS}}'', blue flight's {{alt|Viper|TOS}}s are found to be charged with high-static energon fields, which discharge into [[void lightning]] that hits [[Xam]] and causes a total power outage aboard the {{alt|battlestar|TOS}} ({{comics|vol2|6}}.
-In range of its egress is a singular planet around which a thickly-ringed graveyard of ships orbits, its survivors making landfall on the planet only to be hunted down by the [[Meclons]]&mdash;former {{alt|Cylons|TOS}} who were also inexorably drawn into the singularity ({{comics|vol3|1}} &mdash; {{comics|vol3|3|short=y}}).
+Upon hitting Xam, the discharge awakens latent [[psionic]] potential, which grows due to the proximity of the energon fields of the storm zone. These psionic abilities project false yet immutable beliefs that {{alt|Earth|TOS}} lies at the center of the storm zone, heavily influencing many people in the Fleet, including Commander {{alt|Adama|TOS}} ({{comics|vol2|7}}&mdash;{{comics|vol2|11|short=y}}).
-The singularity is one-directional by design as the realm is a trap for Iblis' sworn enemy, the [[Seraphs]] ({{comics|vol3|3}} and {{comics|vol3|4|short=y}}). It takes the destruction of a {{alt|Ship of Lights}} to open a return path that bridges the two universes, thus allowing {{alt|The Fleet|TOS}}, {{alt|Lucifer}}'s {{alt|Cylons|TOS}}, various hapless victims, and the surviving Seraphs to return to the primary universe ({{comics|vol3|5}}).
+Due to Cylon engagement into the unnamed, coreward quadrant by Capt. {{alt|Apollo|TOS}} and [[red flight]] ({{comics|vol2|6}}), Commander {{alt|Adama|TOS}} approves going through the storm zone ({{comics|vol2|7}}.

-* The use of a "black hole" to transport {{alt|The Fleet|TOS}} to another universe aligns with some theoretical concepts relating to either charged [[w:Reissner–Nordström metric|Reissner-Nordström]] or rotating [[w:Kerr metric|Kerr]] black holes.
+* The "storm zone" can be seen as an analog to the [[magnetic void]] to {{TOS|Kobol}}.
