Description

We have discovered an abandoned solar sail ship in orbit around …. The sublight vessel was built by an unknown culture, and appears to be several thousand years old. One of the massive sails has a large tear where some kind of object passed through - most likely a meteoroid - which appears to have disabled the vessel. Although the technology of the ship is severely outdated, it does possess some interesting engineering design choices.

« An interesting albeit primitive design. »
