Section titled โ๐งญ ๐๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ท๐ช๐ฆ๐ธโThe Spindle Lass is an inter-orbital freighter woven from rope-steel and faith. Her hull flexes like woven silk; her rigging hums mantras of balance. Each voyage through the Beltโs debris fields is part meditation, part choreography: the crew ties literal cords between outposts, forming the Empathy Web that keeps the colonies from drifting apart.

Each cord glows once the wearer speaks their intent for the journey. If any knot loosens during flight, Caldera pauses all thrust and softly asks, โWho needs to retie what was taken for granted?โ
