“This sector is a recreation of the sixteenth civilization encountered by Meteion and her sisters. Although definitive answers remain elusive, it is speculated that the reconstruction echoes the Alphatron Star as it appeared in its last years, or perhaps even an Omicron outpost built upon an invaded world.
Ostrakon Deka-hexi is an area in Ultima Thule, The Sea of Stars.
Landmarks
“Once a maintenance platform for conquest weaponry, this hydraulic drifts abandoned but not forgotten.
— Encyclopaedia Eorzea Volume III, p. 149
“A live specimen collected from a conquered star, this tree is being inexplicably preserved despite having undergone study as per protocol. As the environment from which it hails is vastly different, it requires an intervening device to simply survive, yet it is undeterred from extending out its branches and producing seeds.
— Encyclopaedia Eorzea Volume III, p. 149
“The prime decision-making authority for an entire machine civilization, this mechanism has been faithfully reconstructed in Ostrakon Deka-hexi. Originally hailed as strategic matrix Alpha-1, catastrophic damage inflicted upon its systems resulted in its currently assigned designation.
— Encyclopaedia Eorzea Volume III, p. 149
“For the first time since the fall of its civilization, the warmongering Stigma-4 is awake, its unbeating heart set on conquering a distant star─yours. Omicron N-7000 believes that the most effective means of deterrence is to convince its subconscious circuits of how poorly it would fare against Hydaelyn's champion, and has opened a path to allow you to implant a pseudo-memory of just such a contest. Thus does it fall to you to answer the question─of what do matrices dream?

Other locations
“A hub of operations for the Omicrons, the mechanical life-forms that call the Alphatron Star home. With its maintenance facilities, weapons stockpile, and tracking systems, the base presents a bleak scene consistent with its military purpose. While there is no leisure to be had, the inhabitants appear welcoming enough to interstellar travelers.

Trivia
