The transponder signals have been corroborated as genuine and, to date, no logical explanation has been forthcoming as to their origin. In each case the signals have been from ships lost during the Pact Empire.

Until [[1110]] the triangle of space created by [[Medurma (world)|Medurma]], [[Dipa (world)|Dipa]] and [[Nexus (world)|Nexus]] was not even legend. Then on 12-1110 a merchant vessel, the ''Dawn Trader'', filed a report with the [[Medurman University]]. While preparing to Jump out of the Dipa system the navigator spotted a bright reflection in space. Instantly he leapt to the controls as he knew that such a reflection could only come from a ship, yet all his sensors showed clear space. Thinking his equipment had malfunctioned, he radioed his position to the ship. There was no reply. He admits his next thought was that it had to be a pirate but, seconds later, he received a transponder transmission. The ship then vanished.

No solid explanation for transmissions or the ships has been put forth. The Triangle remains another unsolved mystery.
