The Breach: The Source of Nanotech

Return to: Nanotech Main

Millions of years before humanity’s rise, rifts in the fabric of space-time allowed wild nanotech from the Breach to creep into Material Reality. These rifts, which usually closed on their own, seeded nanomaterials across the universe, bonding with inanimate matter and giving birth to materials like glasteel, titanite, and others. For aeons, these processes went unnoticed by intelligent life, slowly forming deposits of nanomaterials in planets, asteroids, and deep space.

A Brief History of Terra

Dr. Elena Vargas

During the Second Renaissance on Terra, a golden age of scientific achievement following a long period of stagnation, Dr. Elena Vargass of Future Factory made a monumental discovery that changed the course of history. She uncovered the existence of the Breach, an interdimensional phenomenon, and was the first to intentionally harness wild nanotech. Using a glasteel wafer, she successfully created the first Quantum Breach Processor.

This Quantum Breach Processor revolutionized computation, allowing for near-infinite calculations by drawing on the power of the Breach itself. It became the foundation for all modern nanotech and the basis for Breach Drives, which enabled faster-than-light travel through controlled dimensional shortcuts. This era marked humanity’s leap into the stars and the beginning of a galactic expansion, with the Quantum Breach Processor at the core of all future technologies.
