The Crimson Veil nebula is not a feature within the Orion Spur; it is a sprawling membrane of ionized hydrogen and cosmic dust that marks its volatile and magnificent frontier. It marks the confluence of three great stellar streams: the familiar territory of the Unity Accord, the silent and watching Perseus Arm, and the ghost-haunted halo of the Carina-Sagittarius Stream. To traverse the Veil is not merely to cross a distance, but to make a choice—a leap of faith into a future that remains dangerously unwritten.
