Ruined Capital

Console: event distar.231

Description

As per the … crew's initial suspicions, … appears to be the fallen capital of the space-faring society whose former colonies are now but irradiated scrap heaps on inhospitable tomb worlds.

From the data the team has gathered, the downfall of this lost civilization was almost certainly the result of interstellar warfare waged against some unknown, external threat. It remains unclear whether the planet's owners repelled the invasion but succumbed to the post-war fallout of a pyrrhic victory, or if the invaders crushed these colonies and their inhabitants before moving on.

As the extreme state of ruin on the planet precludes the extraction of data from any remaining electronics, and neither the capital nor its colonies possess any survivors, it seems we may never know for certain.
