Whatever that thing was - is - it destroyed five ships in the blink of an eye. There’s no trace of them. We lost contact with the captains the moment they entered Zyn Kallah system boundaries. A few minutes later, our scanners showed no sign of life in the system, and we were unable to pick up the ships in built tracers.
We sent in an unmanned vessel, complete with state of the art recording equipment and all it did was flare the scanners on any nearby OF vessels. The readings we got were… impossible to make sense of. Video footage was completely black, almost as if it had never filmed anything in the first place. The audio was static for the most part. But just before the scanners flared, we heard something. A scream of some sort. Half the team ended up in our mental rehabilitation center because of it.
For now, we have no way of determining what this thing is. ‘Thing’ is a very unscientific word to use, I know, but that is the only word capable of describing this deadspace - that’s how little we know about it. Until we can figure out a way to safely collect data, nothing should be going into that system.
