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.

Another view of the ugly wound on the planet surface.

    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.

    Interesting find. I assume the planet was never inhabited or we'd have heard about this?

    It's really hard to see, but maybe I'll take a trip to that system myself and check it out!

    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?
