Inside the planet devastating crater of World 39958, the heat within the planet burned and warped the air, creating a huge vacuum funnel as hot and cold air shifted.
The ship of the ancient civilization called the Knowers was built from black living metals. Runic steel animated by enchantments, it absorbs the heat from the magma around it to maintain balanced temperatures within its hull and its functions, and while the crafting was not very advanced, its special endurance and magical technology kept the ship complete even after dozen thousands of years had passed.
Unlike the Mycroft civilization, the Knowers' vessel appeared small—it was obvious that the alien race had smaller bodies, with each part of the ship having many deep palm-sized holes that essentially made the ship's interior appear to be a huge honeycomb. It appeared that a creature smaller than a human's palm had lived on the ship as well, and moved through the honeycomb passageways.
