Terminal Orbit

Console: event anomaly.2570

Description

One of the many moons circling … has a terminal orbit. It will soon collide with the gas giant in what is sure to become a massive impact event. This event has been millions of years in the making, and it is a startling coincidence that the impact has been fated to occur just after a visit by one of our ships.

Many of our scientists wish to observe and record the event, but we only have a narrow window before it is too late.

No reward described.
