How about any information what this actually is?

(sigh) Well Gregorius WHAT do you want it to be ?

I like it. Has an "archeotech massacre site" feel to it. You should post it under fan art (it is...in a way).

It reminds me of a graveyard. Or a kind of testing ground for gen-engineered xenomorphs.

It's an exterior shell surrounding a piece of 9th dimensional matter capable of remaking the galaxy. (sorry, saw that on a sci-fi movie yesterday)

I'd say it's some kind of xenotech, perhaps it amplifies psyker resonances ... the surface texture just says "amplifier" to me.

Items with spherical shapes like this tend to suggest flight or near frictionless movement in some way ... either it is designed as a means of movement - a kind of standing Warp beakon or gateway - or is capable of rapid movement itself, either to strike at an enemy or transport soldiers/cargo.

Perhaps it is a xenos archive ... or the remnants of an otherwise eradicated race.

Is the surface solid or not? Perhaps, while appearing less than solid, it is rigid until the secret of opening it is discovered ... a sound or a psyker probe would seem most appropriate for the design.

The characters may well never discover what it is, but its mere presence is causing problems as pirates, choas cults, mysterious xenos, and Imperium agencies all attempt to get their hands on it.

Good picture, lots of potential, thanks.

Actually, something like this would make for a fun occasional story hook thread - "in 500 words or less tell us what this is and how it can be used in an adventure"

Perhaps ita a miniature Dyson Sphere. Maybe its even the prison of the C'Tan known as The Outsider?
