The Blacksite of the Creator, isolated from the rest of the galaxy, is home to a horrifying cult of unnatural and twisted life, engaging in sickening experiments that border on the unbelievable. They worship and serve the Bringer, an entity trapped within the Psionosphere who promises a "Paradise" beyond death.
