stral Coldfront Rips Virkelon: Grievoxid Splinter Pillars and Swarm-obedient Shades Ravage City Squares
Night unleashed a wave of Grievoxid Splinter Pillars and Shade swarms upon Virkelon. The city teeters between rebuilding and exhaustion, as the Astral Coldfront from Sector R once again casts its shadow.
Stardate 4422.318 - Once again, nightfall brought disaster to Virkelon as the Astral Coldfront from Sector R cast its icy shadow over the city. Initial reports from Toruniq of the Glass Line confirm multiple residential clusters and public domains struck by Grievoxid Splinter Pillars and packs of Swarm-obedient Shades. At least eleven residents have been injured and brought to makeshift fusion medpods, five of whom remain in critical condition - including a pregnant citizen from the Lichtrand quarter.
Explosions shattered glass facades, fires spread across dome rooftops, and the Chilouro district went without heat when energy grids were pierced. Debris rained on the covered school in the eastern quadrant. The collective alert was activated; residents were systematically instructed to shelter in glass bunkers until the Coldfront moved off.
According to Klymora’s aerial shield sentries, Splinter Pillars weren’t the only menace - waves of Swarm-obedient Shades intercepted comm-signals and caused further damage. In response, Klymora itself launched precision drone attacks targeting oil storage domes and infrastructure in the Vorridian Kraken Basin. Three residential complexes on the misty fringes of Sector R also sustained damage.
This morning, visitors to Virkelon find splintered light-streets, residual sparks flickering in the air, and everywhere coded graffiti calling for resolve. The city’s collective memory, already fragile, is once more stretched into a mosaic of survival.
