Alpha Quadrant

From what has been gleaned from the explanations provided by the terminals, the Alpha Quadrant was the main entrance to Azys Lla, from where people would travel to the port of Helix, to "congregate and offload various supplies." What manner of supplies, however, remains a mystery.

— In-game description

Alpha Quadrant is an area in Azys Lla, Abalathia's Spine.

Centrifugal Crystal Engine

This seemingly indefatigable engine harnessed the power of the imprisoned Warring Triad to transmute the life force of chimera experiments into synthetic crystal. These manufactured shards would then be used to fuel the cultivation of the chimeras as part of research into the possibility of obtaining limitless power.

Hyperstellar Downconverter

Engineers surmise that the Hyperstellar Downconverter was developed to communicate with Dalamud, the false moon containing Bahamut which had been propelled into the heavens. It was later repurposed and improved upon to facilitate communication over the massive distances between stars.
