Derchon Anomaly

The Derchon Anomaly is an unsolved mystery.

• As its name indicates, it is an Anomaly.

Description (Specifications)

In early 1102, an unidentified object transited the outer reaches of the Derchon system (in the Lunion subsector of the Spinward Marches), following a roughly Coreward-Coreward-Trailing vector. It was traveling at such high velocity (estimated 0.12c) that no ship could possibly intercept it.

Sensor data revealed that that:

1) The object had a high albedo

2) It was spinning or tumbling rapidly

3) Its mass was in the 1,000-2,000 ton range

4) It was highly radioactive

Although the object was not under acceleration, these facts argue strongly in favor of some type of artificial construction.

History & Background (Dossier)

Similar occurrences have been noted before in the Marches, but have been dismissed as Old Spacer's Tales.
