The entity exists as both presence and absence—sometimes appearing on radar as a solid ping, other times flickering into nothing mid-sentence. Its properties shift like RGB drift, sometimes showing as a corrupted compass rose, other times as pure interference. Those who encounter it report a sensation of their own coordinates destabilizing, as if their position in the fleet is being questioned.

A phantom that hunts navigators who rely too heavily on their instruments. It does not destroy outright—it forces captains to question whether their readings are true, then exploits that doubt like a weapon. In the arena, facing Signal Requiem means confronting the terror of navigational uncertainty itself.
