Debris Field

Console: event anomaly.320

Description

The strong gravity well of … has pulled in a massive amount of space debris which has formed a dense layer around parts of the gas giant. Most of it appears to be wreckage from a series of space battles fought in the system several millennia ago.

Scavengers have already scoured the debris of valuable technologies and artifacts, but a mining station should be able to recycle the metal.
