The Fading
Lyra appears frequently in reports dating to the early stages of The Fading.
Multiple Stars assigned to the constellation disappeared over a relatively short period of time.
Archived census records show a steady decline in population.
The cause remains unknown.
Researcher's Note
Recent investigations uncovered evidence suggesting that at least one member of Lyra may have departed Asterra shortly before communication with the constellation was lost.
Travel records connected to this event remain heavily corrupted.
Recovery efforts are ongoing.
Dr. Hart's Notes:
The Lyra records answer one question, but raise several more.
Vega's black box recording already told us why she left Asterra. She watched her family disappear and believed she could find a way to stop The Fading.
What I didn't realize was that Lyra may have been one of the first constellations to suffer these disappearances.
That can't be a coincidence.
If Lyra was affected before the rest of Asterra, then someone may have known what was coming long before anyone else did.
I'm beginning to think The Fading didn't start everywhere at once.
It started somewhere.
And Lyra may be where we need to look next.
