Weapons Target Range

Console: event anomaly.50

Description

Asteroid … is pockmarked with craters from weapon blasts, and appears to have been used as a target range by someone roughly two millennia ago. Residual energy readings suggest they tested increasingly exotic weaponry, including subspace bombs and some kind of singularity generator. Our scientists would be interested in studying the unusual energy echoes that remain.

Exotic Radiation

Console: event anomaly.60

Description

This particular asteroid is an extrasolar capture, and appears to have been washed by some kind of exotic radiation as it plummeted through interstellar space before finally settling in the … system. The original source of this radiation remains unknown, but the … has been able to pick up a wealth of physics data by studying the asteroid's energy emissions.
