Derchon Anomaly
Revision as of 09:29, 21 October 2019 by Maksim-Smelchak (talk | contribs)
The Derchon Anomaly is an unsolved mystery.
Description (Specifications)
In early 1102, an unidentified object transited the outer reaches of the Derchon (Spinward Marches Lunion) system, 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 1000-2000 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.
