Canaux mondiaux
Description
The entire surface of … is scarred by long, shallow canals. They cross and re-cross each other haphazardly, with no apparent logic to their layout. It is as yet uncertain if they are an unusual natural feature, or something else.
A surface expedition is required to try to ascertain more.

Dig Like You Mean It!
Console: event ancrel.9145
Description
An extensive analysis of hundreds of canals on the planet's surface has been carried out. It is evident that the intricate canal grid is not formed by any naturally-occurring geological process - it has been dug out with deliberate intent.
Due to the considerable age of the trenches - having been carved out more than a hundred thousand years prior, and as such considerably eroded - it is difficult to ascertain how or why they were made.
