-The '''Gravitational Singularity''' was a special entity created from successfully starting the [[Singularity Engine|engine]]. It emits radiation (which powered the station), EMP, and an immense gravitational field. Since the decommissioning of the singularity engine the Singularity can only appear as a result of a [[Syndicate Items#Singularity Bomb|Singularity Bomb]].
-__TOC__
-==Hazards==
-There are several hazards to be immediately aware of if you are standing near the singularity:
-* It will, naturally, attempt to suck you towards itself with gravity. Touching the core of the singularity will instantly vaporize you.
-* While the singularity is in sight, a human has a chance of accidentally looking at it and becoming dazed, stunning them for long enough to be sucked in. This can be safely avoided by wearing [[Engineering Objects#Optical Meson Scanner|mesons]].
-* The singularity emits light background radiation, though rarely enough to do harm.
-* The singularity emits EMP, which will fry nearby systems, most notably cameras and headsets.
-==Uh oh==
-A rogue Singularity will move about in a random manner in a rather lackadaisical pace, destroying everything it touches. Anyone who goes too close risks being sucked in. Here are some considerations for this event:
-<br>
-* The singularity will destroy everything it touches, and that includes everything-- even otherwise indestructible things like shuttle walls. [[Miner|Mining]] may find itself cut off from the main station if the singularity eats their transport shuttle. A rare but hilarious possibility is that the singularity may be on top of a shuttle when the shuttle moves, bringing the singularity along for the ride! Why contain the destruction to just one space station?
-* The risk posed by the singularity largely depends on the direction it takes. A bomb set off in the middle of the station is guaranteed to be catastrophic, while a bomb set off near the edge of the station may cause the singularity to harmlessly veer off into space.
-* A catastrophic loose singularity means depressurization, large parts of the station completely missing, and danger if you are anywhere near the singularity itself. Get internals, a spacesuit and jetpack if you can, and try to find your way to the escape shuttle bay before you are completely cut off.
-* A rampaging singularity can be destroyed with a bomb. The core of the singularity must be caught by the bomb blast. Throwing the bomb directly into the singularity will just disintegrate it like anything else; the bomb must get as close to the sing without being destroyed before detonating. The larger radius of homemade bombs makes this task easier.
