>>9105618Manipulator is just a reference to the Great Attractor.
A anomaly in intergalactic space researchers have been seeking an answer for in ages but to no avail.
Something manipulates galaxies over millions and millions of light-years to somehow shift them, ours included. It's a like hypermassive pull affecting said galaxies but the source somehow moves in itself towards clusters.
None of our Technology can detect what it is but it affects everyone as it's slowly but steadily pulling apart and stretching out our galaxy and solar system.
