(Sort of a “it’s on its wayyyy...” notice. Also, I like to play with Paint Shop Pro. -LFB)

Traders, prospectors, governors, and explorers have in the last few days been mulling over the meaning of a strange transmission that gives the only clue to the end of the independent prospecting ship James Urqhardt. That ship vanished somewhere in Delta Quadrant, along the galactic rim, with barely a signal to mark its passing, and no known survivors to tell its tale. James Urqhardt is not the first ship to vanish in the general vicinity of (-3,7) but it is the first to give any indication of its fate.

However, despite what appears to all accounts as an active and efficient attempt to block transmissions from the prospector, a few grainy images have made it back to the more populous regions of the Galaxy. They hint at some kind of large military force or empire existing somewhere on the Rim, and one that does not take kindly to trespassing miners at any rate.

The clearest of the images returned is shown here.



Who these ships--estimated to be “really big” by definitively Scientific™ methods--belong to, and what their purpose is in the Galaxy is unknown. Likewise, the range and extent of their peregrinations is also uncertain, although no suspicious disappearances beyond normal levels have taken place outside (-3,7), and therefore extreme caution must be urged to any free agent entering that region.

More information will be provided as the news reaches us.
