Three standard months ago, Mining Outpost IRIS-7 reported the emergence of a spatial anomaly near the outer asteroid fields.
Initial scans suggested a naturally occurring gravitational disturbance. Follow-up observations revealed stable energy signatures inconsistent with any known stellar phenomenon.
The anomaly exhibited characteristics of an artificial transit corridor.
Contact with the outpost became increasingly irregular as the anomaly expanded.
The Terran Hegemony dispatched the research vessel Eclipse and the exploration cruiser Nomad to investigate.
No further reports were received.
