从某个时刻开始，诸派系开始关注同一种现象——在「开拓」创造的星际航路上，某些晦暗难明的物质扰乱了虚数能量的流向。就像是登山遇上了峭壁悬崖、远航遇上海啸漩涡……原本通畅的星际旅途变得危机重重、前途未卜。
这一现象极富侵略性，它以神秘物体「星核」的形式不断侵染相邻的世界——如同癌细胞一般在宇宙各处扩散。星际和平公司将其称为「万界之癌」，并警告星际旅客绝不能心存侥幸：因为身陷「万界之癌」的世界早已经迷途难返，鲜有人绝境逢生。
人们对「万界之癌」有着诸多猜测，其中大部分与「毁灭」纳努克和「反物质军团」有关。这群宇宙毁灭者似乎常常与星核出现在同一处。这是偶然还是必然，暂时不得而知。
Cancer of All Worlds (Phenomenon)
Various factions had started to notice a phenomenon since a specific time. A vague, imperceptible matter was disrupting the flow of Imaginary Energy along the interstellar routes created by Trailblaze. Like a mountain climber meeting a cliff or a long-distance ship encountering tsunamis and whirlpools, interstellar travel changed from being unobstructed to being dangerous and unpredictable.
This phenomenon is remarkably aggressive. It continues to encroach upon neighboring worlds in the form of a mysterious object, the Stellaron. It keeps spreading all over the universe like a cancerous growth, leading the Interastral Peace Corporation to call it "Cancer of All Worlds" and warning interstellar travelers not to take it lightly. The worlds swamped by the Cancer of All Worlds were soon beyond saving, and very few people survived.
There are many speculations regarding the Cancer of All Worlds, and most are related to Nanook the Destruction and the Antimatter Legion. These cosmic destroyers often seemed to appear together with Stellarons. We do not yet know if these occurrences are related or are only coincidences.
