Praxic Age Exoatmospheric Weapons Systems

First Appearance and Context

A big old book with this title is produced at breakfast in the Refectory by Fraa Lio, after a pinhole projection of the sun in the Mynster revealed a sequence of small blue sparks moving near the solar disk. The previous day, Lio had said he would locate a written source—possibly from the Old Library—to explain the phenomenon, and this volume is the one he brings forward for study.

Description

A large, aging technical or historical compendium focused on exoatmospheric (space-based) weapon systems associated with the Praxic Age. Its condition and retrieval suggest it comes from older holdings within the concent’s collections.

Roles and Use

• Serves as the text Lio turns to when seeking evidence about the observed “sparks” near the sun, implying relevance to propulsion signatures or maneuvering typical of space-borne weapon systems.
• Functions as a Praxic-era reference likely to inform discussion of historical doctrines or technologies connected to objects in orbit.

Relationships and Affiliations

• Closely associated with Lio’s inquiry into the observed solar-adjacent phenomenon, linking it to ongoing peer discussions of orbital motion and observable signatures.
• Accessed alongside other materials kept within the concent’s libraries, with the Old Library noted as a likely source for such obscure Praxic references.

Current Status/Location

Last seen in Lio’s possession at breakfast in the Refectory, opened for consultation. Its longer-term placement is not specified.
