The Derchon Anomaly is an unsolved mystery.
- As its name indicates, it is an Anomaly.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
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)[edit]
Similar occurrences have been noted before in the Marches, but have been dismissed as Old Spacer's Tales.
Worlds & Sectors (Astrography)[edit]
This mission is primarily based out of the following sector:
