Anomaly (World) Synopsis
A moderate population Droyne world in the Argi Subsector of Dagudashaag.
- Anomaly is a member of the Imperium.
- The world has an Ancients site.
- The system hosts a Scout Base.
- The world has a trade classification of Fluid World (Fl), which indicates that it has an ocean of a liquid other than water, (e.g., ammonia or methane).
- During the Long Night this world was named Gaishnen.
Anomaly (World) Description
Conditions on this world are both harsh and baffling. The planet as a whole appears to have been distorted into an ellipsoidal shape in the geologically recent past. What is more puzzling is that there is no nearby moon or gas giant which could have caused the distortion, and there is no indication of a recent impact on the surface. The planetary crust has been shattered, and measurements indicate cataclysmic tremors on the surface as the planet “relaxes” to a spherical shape through its own self-gravity.
Orbital surveys also show unusual density anomalies.
Anomaly (World) History & Background (Dossier)
- Since the system is in a little-travelled side branch of the Dagudashaag Main, it is only since the mid-700s that the IISS has made any significant effort to investigate the planet.
- An expedition to the planet’s surface in 1112 made an astonishing discovery - an array of “cables” some 1700 km long, buried in the planetary crust at a depth of about 4.0m.
