Ion Storm
NebulaMedium Risk
Overview
A roiling electromagnetic storm that blankets an entire sector in charged ion particles, completely disrupting communication arrays and reducing sensor range to near zero. Fleets caught inside cannot receive or transmit long-range orders, cannot see beyond close range, and cannot call for reinforcements. Combat inside an ion storm is close-quarters, chaotic, and decided entirely by local commanders without strategic oversight.

Lore
"Every commander who has fought inside an ion storm comes out with two things: a story about something they did without orders, and a theory about why it worked."
