Description
The Breach Attractor, called the storm talisman by the Sudrans[1], is a piece of ancient technology that, when activated, will pull the Breach in closer to its location.
Prior to the events of Axiom Verge, a Sudran High Priestess had already activated the Breach Attractor[2], bringing the Breach tight against the surface of Sudra. Because the Rusalki cannot move through the Breach, this action had forced them into hiding, beneath the planet's surface.
During the final battle with Athetos, the player fights to weaken the Breach Attractor's power supply. Each time the power supply is weakened, the Breach itself can be seen retreating further above the planet's surface. This allows Elsenova to fly higher and attack the Breach Attractor directly. In response, Athetos moves his chamber further up the elevator where Elsenova cannot reach.

In the sequel, it holds much less gravity than the world-ending implications it has in the first game, being simply a collectible that enables Indra to pull Breach portals to her- and has a much smaller build than it does in the first game. It is found in Sector 37,16 in The Glacier, only accessible late-game.
Speculation
The Breach Attractor resembles a stylized A over a V. This is could be a simple nod to the game's title, or it could be a lore-driven decision. For example, perhaps its creators built it this way for a technological or cultural reason, though any semblance of this reason is unknown.
Given its appearance in Axiom Verge 2- long before the events of the first game- it is a safe bet to assume the Breach Attractor originated on Kiengir- or even more likely A'ansur- and was brought over to Sudra sometime, either by Ophelia/Indra (see Indra's speculation section for more details) or one of the other minor characters seen in-game, like Drushka. How this ended into Athetos's hands, though, is unknown.
