13HRP – 0078 – Hollow Moon
Object Class: White Tier — Celestial / Transit Nexus
Alternate Names: “The Pale Gate,” “Lunar Hollow,” “Moon of a Thousand Worlds”
Description
13HRP-0078, called Hollow Moon, is a massive lunar body suspended within the Mirror World skies. Unlike any moon seen in human space, Hollow Moon shows a shifting surface of silver stone, black scars, and wide hollow craters. At odd times, the entire body cracks like glass, showing a glowing jade core before closing again. These breaks pulse in cycles and create echoes that ripple across many worlds.
The Hollow Moon does not stay in one sky. Instead, it jumps between worlds inside the Mirror system. It may appear over a forest of glass trees, then vanish and reappear above a sea of red sand in the next instant. These jumps seem tied to currents in the Mirror, making them hard to predict yet vital for travel between worlds.
Inhabitants
- Populated by Hollows, who treat the Hollow Moon as their sacred capital and watchtower.
- Hollow sentinels use its shifting vantage points to track incursions, cultist movements, and anomalies across countless worlds. Furthermore, they record these shifts in elaborate archives etched into living stone.
- The Hollow Moon contains labyrinthine catacombs, mirror-tunnels, and vast observation halls where Watchers maintain the Multiverse Lattice—an array of shifting glyphs that chart all worlds connected through the Mirror system. Consequently, the Hollow Moon functions as both fortress and library.
Function
- Acts as a hub for navigation, tracking, and reconnaissance across the multiverse.
- Functions as a “beacon” that links fractured worlds back to the Mirror World’s central framework. In addition, the beacon stabilizes fractures temporarily, allowing explorers safe passage.
- Serves as a threshold gate: when aligned correctly, it allows selective transit between worlds. Rumors suggest this is how certain Hollows escape Johnny’s grasp, slipping between timelines unseen. Therefore, Hollow Moon remains one of the most vital defenses against collapse.
Recovery / First Observation
Earliest recorded encounter: Book of the White Door, recovered from ruins beneath Mirror City. Text described a “Moon that breathes and shifts, one eye open in every sky, its veins filled with jade.” Scholars argued that this early account already recognized the Hollow Moon as more than a celestial body—it was described as a living archive.
First modern sighting: Event-████, when Hollow Moon manifested above Site-13 during a transition storm. All clocks in the facility froze for 6 minutes, and multiple personnel reported glimpses of other worlds through cracks in the sky. Soon after, several researchers noted faint marks on their skin resembling lunar glyphs, linking the event to memetic bleed.
Strategic Importance
- Hollow Moon is believed to be one of the few stable hubs where Hollow presence outnumbers other factions. As a result, its protection ensures Hollow dominance in regions otherwise vulnerable to Johnny’s expansion.
- Acts as a counterbalance to Johnny’s expanding dominion, giving Hollows an anchor point outside his immediate reach. Consequently, the Hollow Moon stands as both symbol and shield.
- The Grand Council warns against hostile occupation of the Hollow Moon, declaring it “a keystone whose fracture would unravel more than worlds.” Its destruction would scatter the multiverse into chaotic fragmentation.
Directive – Grand Council of Xikeony (Seal)
“Hollow Moon is not ours to command. It is ours to protect.”
— Grand Council of Xikeony, Proclamation 78.Λ“Mark 0078 as sanctuary and threshold. Hollow Moon belongs to no single blade nor creed, but to the Hollows who chart all passage. Moreover, this sanctity binds even our enemies, for none may survive should the lattice collapse.
Guard its skies. Should the Moon be shattered, the lattice will break, and worlds will fall untracked into hunger.”
