Vector KU-6 is part of a drainage system constructed during the Lith-Crillion Era. The architects behind this project were the aboleth of Ophudehk. Similar to other areas, Vector KU-6 was built as part of the Sathubas Waterworks Project. It once served as a crucial feeder in the plan to augment water flow between Imgangreth, a Tier 1 region, and Sathubas, a Tier 2 region.
Vector KU-6 begins as a narrow rivulet emerging from the Cthorgo sea. Traveling ten miles northward, it drains downward through a series of shafts, canals, and locks after traversing five weirs. The complexity of this intricate system was necessitated by the proximity of the sea. The aboleth did not wish to risk provoking a war with those above by draining the sea directly. Accordingly, the numerous drains that comprised the Sathubas Waterworks Project were meticulously designed and widely dispersed, appearing to cause no harm to the surrounding populace. Yet, whenever their actions did impact the people above, the aboleth went to great lengths to placate them, offering monetary compensation and making amends. As a remarkably long-lived race, spanning millennia, the aboleth city-states had initially planned to submerge Sathubas. However, they would subsequently address those they had previously been compelled to appease out of necessity.
In Urgakh, Vector KU-6 and Vector KU-1 oversaw the downfall of Grar'toch. During the final stages of the conflict, the people who rejected a life of subjugation fought the aboleth and their underlings in streets submerged under a foot of water that had been gradually encroaching on the city's ramparts for decades.
The purpose of Vector KU-6 has been achieved, and it is no longer actively maintained. While it continues to operate, its performance has significantly diminished. The system is obstructed with accumulated debris and vegetation. Vines and fungal tendrils have proliferated, thickly covering the water chutes and canals.
