Weave Node

Weave Nodes are galaxy sized constructs serving as instant transportation and communication stations across the multiverse, as well as serving as fortresses and places of residence. These gargantuan mega cities were first built following the Ascension Wars, as a means to allow mortals to instantly travel to adjacent and nearby universes.

Function
The primary function of the Weave Nodes are as relays which allow safe and instant intra/inter-universal travel between adjacent and nearby universes and other Weave Nodes and Relays. The secondary function of these gargantuan megastructures are to act as anchors against hostile reality warpers and terraformers. To do this, the Nodes themselves house extremely powerful Reality Engines that can warp reality and change its laws as the administrators of these structures see fit. Universes where these relays are housed are restrict themselves to single timelines, with anti-time travel and precognition measures put into place.

Creation
The method of creation for Weave Nodes differs from universe to universe, depending on the physical laws present. As a rule, the Nodes take extroadinary amounts of resources to create, with universes where forms of magic or psychic power have a heavy presence being generally easier to construct in. The first Weave Node built at Point 01 required several hundreds of quadrillions of times more mass than the Milky Way despite possessing similar dimensions, due to the fact that it was relatively solid and held together by immense lengths of cosmic string.

The most consistently expensive part of the Weave construction process, however, is the creation of a Godmind. The creation of each one requires the intervention of multiple civilisations and/or an Outer God, needing extremely rare and specific metaphysical augmentation to elevate an AI or uploaded mind to the necessary level. No new Godminds have been created after the Tor crisis, as some of the processes needed to facilitate these augmentations have become hideously risky to perform due to the Tor tainted nature of the Void.

History
The first Weave node was established at Point 01 just after the Ascension Wars, using the Diamond Colossus as a foundation.

After Adremer Tor hit the Weave, however, most of the millions of Weave Nodes are either irreparably damaged or destroyed. Multiversal travel between distant universes has become extremely hazardous, with the remains of Tor littered across the Weave and the Void.
