Shattered planet

While traveling out to the Curse region on business, I passed through SL-YBS in the Great Wildlands region. My overview registered a planet with some odd readings, so I flew over in my Claw interceptor to check it out.

What I saw frightened and fascinated me at the same time. The first planet in the system had evidently run into a spontaneously-formed wormhole like the one that tore up Seyllin almost a year ago. Here’s some of the imagery.

A shattered planet, SL-YBS I in the Great Wildlands region. This happened during the original spontaneous formation of wormholes at the time of the Seyllin incident. I found this one while on a trip out to Curse.

  • It's really hard to see, but maybe I'll take a trip to that system myself and check it out!
  • Interesting find. I assume the planet was never inhabited or we'd have heard about this?
  • There was a lost Thukker caravan at the time, though that doesn't necessarily mean they would have been in orbit or anything at the time. Still, possible connection?
  • hmm. its quite hard to see. Shame you can't switch between different wavelengths when you're in your ship. It would be a logical feature.
