Quantum Highways

Overview

The Quantum Highways are "rivers" of high-density quantum energy that allow for near-instantaneous travel across the galaxy. They exist within the Quantum Layer, bypassing the limitations of physical distance.

Points of Interest

The Gateway Hubs

Massive structures maintained by the Quantum Custodians that serve as entry and exit points between physical space and the highways.

  • Type: Transit Station
  • NPCs: Custodian Sentinels
  • Interactions: Navigation, Upgrades

The Resonance Streams

Areas where the flow of the highway is particularly strong, requiring precise Consciousness Wielding to navigate.

  • Type: Hazard/Navigation Challenge
  • Interactions: Speed boost (if successful), Damage (if failed)

Echo Chambers

Static pockets along the highways where fragments of ancient memories or Ancient Consciousness can be found.

  • Type: Lore Discovery
  • Secrets: Hidden data shards

Design Notes

The Quantum Highways serve as the game's fast-travel system. The player unlocks more "lanes" and gateways as they progress, eventually gaining the ability to traverse the entire galaxy in seconds.
