Every 100 years, the "Stellar Convergence" occurs, aligning celestial bodies, creating vivid skies, tidal waves, and temporary portals. This event is awe-inspiring but can be dangerous, offering great power or causing chaos. The Sun Star Order plays a key role in guiding and protecting Centerra during this time, reinforcing the planet's deep cosmic connections and the importance of balance.
