Historical Significance
The Celestial Orb is believed to have originated from the ancient civilization of Xelari, known for their mastery of interstellar navigation and cosmic energy. It is said to be a key artifact used in their advanced starship propulsion systems.
Discovered in the ruins of the Xelari homeworld by a renowned archaeologist, Dr. Elara Voss, in 2157, the orb was initially thought to be a decorative object. However, subsequent analysis revealed its unique energy signature and internal structure, hinting at its true purpose.
It has passed through the hands of several prominent collectors, including the enigmatic Lord Kaelor of the Obsidian Dominion, before being acquired by the current private collection.
