Although New Eden has held back the Melding so far, each day remains a struggle. When the Arclight fell to Earth its impact was felt – quite literally – far and wide. While much of the hull remained intact during its descent, the ship’s eventual impact generated such force that many pieces of the hull were scattered for dozens, if not hundreds, of kilometers.
One especially large chunk of the Arclight landed just south of Copacabana – in an area known as Broken Shores. In the weeks that followed, once the Accord reestablished order, numerous science and recovery teams were dispatched to secure the fragment and study it. However, with resources being directed towards the war effort, any attempts to physically move the piece have been halted.
