Gameplay[]
Peter Quill can stare into the Rift from a platform on Knowhere in Chapter 6: Between a Rock and a Hard Place and he will find his crew mate Drax at this location. With Drax he can begin a conversation about the past and the people they lost. Its Galactic Compendium entry is unlocked after this. On the center of the platform, there is a display with a short description about this area that will unlock an archive entry also called "The Rift".
It is mentioned in QZ Disposal, a message that players can find in Chapter 1: A Risky Gamble when exploring the Quarantine Zone.
Records[]
The Rift, sometimes called "The Rip" by locals, is the end of the universe. Scientists believe that all matter, time, and reality itself disintegrates as it is slowly pulled into the hungry maw. Others believe it is a wormhole into another timeline, or even a galaxy with completely alien physics, but any exploratory technology sent into the Rift is pulverized upon approach. Some religions have proposed that it's a gateway to eternal punishment for a sinful life or a great drain opened to erase a failed galactic experiment, so that the gods can begin anew.
Pilgrims from across the galaxy have made their way to Knowhere to gaze into this menacing abyss, this anti-creation. The harrowing experience has led to countless holy books and modified prophecies. Many of Knowhere's laborers gather before it each morning, pondering their own mortality before heading to work.
