"We have such sights to show you..."
What are the possibilities of the plane of shadow and kytons in space? Anyone who has ever watched Event Horizon knows that the Cenobites/horror in space can be done (and done well I might add).
Imagine the scenario.
Your crew comes across a derelict ship in orbit of a gas giant. You're historian on board recognizes the ship's registration number from some esoteric research, revealing it to be from the era lost to everyone's memories. Your captain orders you all aboard to find out more information.
Assimilate now.
Resistance is futile.
"If they take the ship, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing – and if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it in that order."
It probably wont be...
I'm picturing the future scenes from Hellraiser: Bloodlines here.

I only consider the first two movies to be canon. the rest went off the deep end.
Bloodlines wasn't so bad. Besides that, they were.....definitely less good. I'm also a huge nerd for the whole universe created, but that's a different topic for a different thread.

As a contributor to Aethera and the creator of its kytons, I feel reasonably confident that kytons can be done - and done well! - in a spacefaring setting. You could even write a module about it. ^_^

This reminds of the movie Event Horizon. That was creepy. I'd love to put my players through that lol.

Did you not read the whole OP? I literally name dropped Event Horizon, lol. It was the EXACT source of inspiration. :P

Ah jissssss!
Hellraiser: Bloodlines was dirt-awful, but there might be something to look into on the basic conceptual level.
Event Horizon is definitely better, and mashing a bit more mysticism into it does indeed offer some very interesting potential
That's what my game's version of The House of Rented Flesh are in my Iron Gods campaign.
Warhammer40k's dark eldar haemunculi work well in this trope too
