Hasardi-Amorok Relic Ground

Below is some of the information gleaned from forays and remote observation about the Hasardi-Amorok Relic Ground:

 

Information collected before hyperspace forays into region:

 

1.      The region of space is located in an interstellar region not far from Thule, its dimensions (measuring from the force effect edge) is approximately 7 light hours across and roughly spherical.

2.      The region of space is very dense with material, both natural and artificial, estimates of the total mass of that region via hyperspace sensing (traditional grav. measurements are disrupted by the effect field) estimate an internal mass of 7.2 million, million tera-tonnes (7.25 X 10^27kg), which is an absolutely huge amount of material, however it is unknown how much natural material resides in this space.

3.      The distribution of material within the Hasardi-Amorok Relic Ground is distinctly uneven, though there is a general increase in density towards the centre. The periphery of the space is nearly devoid of all large objects.

4.      Further hyperspace studies have revealed many large distortion fields within the region separate to the external effect field, the origins of these fields is not clearly known.

5.      The attraction between the objects in the region of space seems to be regulated despite an increased central density

6.      Remote optical and other spectral measurements have been able to discern some of the larger hulks with sufficient accuracy to compare structure homology with other known wrecks, though a few Ancient ships have been matched, most are unrecognizable.

7.      Remote observations have also noted dynamic effects within the protected region of space, spectral analysis has explained some of the observations, informing us that occasionally fusion drives are in operation within the region, but also that very high-energy distortion fields are being generated. Most observations of dynamic effects have not been matched to any known event.

8.      Electronic emissions from nucleus of the space have been received by external antennas, however no structured emission has yet been received, the force effect field is though to mute most internal signals.

 

Information gleaned from Hyperspace foray missions

 

1.      The effect field can repulse a craft within in the main mass to its periphery, this effect has meant that no mission so far has been able to remain within Hasardi-Amorok Relic Space. The field is also capable of specifically removing the intruding craft, suggesting some intelligent oversight of the field effect.

2.      Certain secondary drives do have effect within the field, fusion flame and cold gas work as expected allowing for some flybys and sample return from some wrecks, but the field does not allow grappling with wrecks, and therefore subsequent extraction of hulks.

3.      The object density within the nucleus is very high, possibly higher than the mass estimation made to date. There also appears to be some higher order structure to the Relic Ground, with open regions, and clusters. Rapid deep scans from foray craft have mapped a lot of the internal structure in rough detail. Repeated missions have also revealed that the internal distribution of objects is quite dynamic, suggesting the collected maps rapidly become inaccurate.

4.      Optical acquisition within the object dense zone have confirmed design homology with other known sites, a great deal of the well preserved ships seem to be Thule civilization in origin, there are also a great number of possibly Derusai ships as well. The region also contains many unrecognized designs. Initial design analysis has suggested that many craft possess Federation unknown technology, this is especially true of some of the larger structures.

5.      Isotopic analysis of local gases (fusion flame in origin) suggest a complex history. Various dating techniques have failed to provide accurate estimates of the age of the site. The best evidence so far comes from isotopic analysis of Thule ships (by comparison with Thule system isotopic abundance) suggests that these ships were introduced into the site ~700,000 years ago.

6.      Internal emissions are very much stronger within the Relic ground than external observations had us believe, the effect field therefore acts also to damp signals in certain spectral regions.

7.      By consequence of confirming internal activity suggests that some derelicts are still operational, it is unclear how these ships are continuing to be powered.

8.      One foray mission reported a putative controlled distortion field generation, this observation confirms the idea of an ‘Active Core’ at the centre of the Relic Ground. The generated field’s effect is unclear.

9.      Near light propulsion on normal drives is partially achievable within the field boundary as long as the direction of flight is away from centre.

 

Future investigatory missions:

Attempts are being made to stabilize one gate termini within the effect field, and hopefully to extract whole ships from the main debris near the Active Core.

 

Other attempts are being made to open up a computer exchange with working Relic Ground craft, with hope of accessing computer cores.

 

It is not thought that the controlling force within the Relic Ground means these Federation missions any harm as it has allowed these flybys and allowed brief investigation of some artifacts, it is judged that the entity has more than sufficient power to prevent these observations if it meant to, no mission has resulted in severe damage to craft or loss of crew. However the relic ground is disrupting wormhole termini to be created within it, and also preventing larger hyperspace jump drive cores.
