Junkyard

Console: event anomaly.30

Description

This asteroid was evidently used as a junkyard by someone at some point in the distant past. All manner of discarded machinery and metallic refuse has been deposited inside the asteroid's weak gravity well, being slowly pulled into the jumble of debris that now covers the surface. There is nothing of particular value to be found here, but a lot of the metal could be salvaged by a mining station.

Target Practice

Console: event anomaly.6800

Description

Our sensors have discovered that the ship remnants on … got there in a peculiar way. The ships seem to have been intentionally driven straight into the asteroid, probably from light-years away, to test the accuracy of the designers' thrusters. As we deep-scan the remains, we pick out one ship in particular, which seems to have reasonably intact propulsion.

« Recover that thruster! »

« We won't waste those alloys. »
