Stardust: Labyrinth

In the year 2234, as part of a multi-species expedition to poorly-charted space, a ship is dispatched to a 'glass planet' with unusual conditions. There, Iraklijs the human and his alien friends and coworkers discover a mysterious precursor installation, teeming with riches and secrets, but also dangers. What they discover there will drastically change the understanding of the isolated Silent Empire and perhaps the whole Central Oval...

This is, in effect, a sci-fi dungeon crawl. It's mostly self-contained but it's recommended to readStardust: Originsand/orStardust: Marathonfirst, for context. Especially Marathon, as a few chapters in it show the book's corner of the setting. The writing style is slightly different here too.

Due to the fact that Marathon was somewhat rushed, the deadline here is 2 weeks long, at least nominally. But if I finish a chapter sooner, I will release it sooner.
