Ghost Tether

Large pylons comprised of arcaheotech. Various precursor factions had Ghost Tether tech, such as the Xadia Ancients and Rikavi Ancients. Ghost Tethers will prevent Ghosts from entering The Void and experiencing the afterlife. They also do not allow ghosts outside of their field (except with a physical body), but ghosts can enter the field.   These resemble large pylons. Their exact appearance can vary significantly depending on the faction that built it, but they take up the approximate volume of a cylinder of 10 m height and 1 m diameter.   These are found very rarely on some planets. There are several on Tebburus. The Xadia placed them there to provide Suons with evidence that the universe is not entirely governed by material laws of physics.   Near the radius of a Ghost Tether, Sparks may be observed. This phenomenon is normally used as a warning for anyone who approaches a ghost tether. If someone gets close enough, they might enter the radius of the Ghost Tether and likely not make it out again. Some people remain close to Tethers without crossing the radius to warn others. Sparks is a relatively subtle phenomeonon and many might not notice it. As there is no known way to destroy a Ghost Tether, especially safely, they are essentially a large obstacle for Tebburan civilization. Tebburus has almost all Ghost Tethers known in the universe, with one other tether on T.S. Janrall. They are large, dark foreboding structures with an amount of orange emissive material which can make them both obvious in appearance and scary.
