What this place is

Shepherd-built gate draining old-bubble dark matter into a new universe—migration’s three-phase lifeline.

Fiction place dossier for the free hard SF series Star Map Draftsman by Mango Taoist — not a real astronomy entry.

Spoiler label: Book II · people-first, spoiler-light facts from the atlas.

Robots/Shepherds describe DeFi Passage as stabilizing the path to a new bubble; entrance opens for migration fleets.
Passage links old universe to new: dark matter drains to nourish nascent bubble, mingling with antimatter to birth nebulae/galaxies.
Three phases: drain old bubble; temporary haven for migrants; wait until new bubble matures.
Visually: illusory dark circle on the cosmic bubble wall with a blinding blue friction ring of draining dark matter.
Kukra alone is said to reach the true Passage entrance; Gorov’s is suspected useless by Jonathan.
