# The Nodus It looks like an empty city but not like ruins. As if the ones who built it did so a long time ago, but it still looks brand new. The Nodus can welcome **a wide variety of species**. A stellar energy source allows the [Ecleray](/vyder-lore-book/species/eclerays.md) to survive. What strikes you when you arrive on the Nodus is the calm. **The cold calm of Space**. And the dance of the billions of stars adorning the immense edifices with colors still unknown.

It is also the feeling that we are part of something **bigger than ourselves.** Something that seems to have been there all along. As if our arrival could not have the slightest impact. **It is to be mistaken**. The Nodus is nothing **without the people who walk through it**. It is an impressive place with a simple function: to be the contact point **where the species will meet** each other for the first time. Therefore, it'll be the anchor of their **upcoming exchanges**. **These exchanges are to take many forms**: diplomatic, commercial, technological, philosophical, military... What form will each species choose?
