RSS Ld1022
RSS Ld1022 Received Signal Source Ledge Sector 1022.
- It lies within the Where The Stars End region of the Empty Stars.
- It is also known as the Orava Signal.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
An anomalous signal originating from a system centered on an orange main sequence star. The signal is periodic, unmodulated, and in the 1.5–2.5 GHz range.
History[edit]
RSS Ld1022 was detected by the University of Tal Varisa Deep Sky Program. It became public knowledge following publication of the "DSP Listing" Astrographic Survey in 5550AD. The signal may be being transmitted by a currently unknown advanced sophont NIL, the descendants of vessels from the Cripple Fleet, or it may simply be a natural phenomenon.
If the signal does originate from a sophont source, a number of different explanations regarding its meaning have been proposed:
- It is an indicator of Vilani activity. Given Serenity Sector's position relative to Terra and the Distant Fringe, the signal is not considered likely to have Vilani origins.
- A Voyager Beacon, emplaced by the Slavers.
- A gravestone or memorial. The final marker of a dead civilization.
- The originators of the signal are very different to other sophonts, perhaps dangerously so.
- Oblivious. The originators of the signal are unaware of the existence of other sophonts or simply don't care.
- Internal Communications. The signal is not intended for outsiders.
- Assist Us. A cry for help, though it is probably already too late.
- Stay Away.
- We're Coming.
- Curious. The originators of the signal want to communicate.
- A warning to others about a significant threat or danger.
