There are dark places in the galaxy where few tread, ancient centers of learning and knowledge. And there are bright places in the galaxy, equally aged and just as teeming with wisdom. Some are visited by millions or billions every standard year, while others go centuries without the sound of a single footstep echoing within their walls. Still others see regular use, but are hidden, shut away from the galaxy by the careful owners of such places. And, of course, there are those in between. Places that flicker with the softest light, and places that are just slightly tinted by the shadows of evil.
