[19:08] SUMMARY: An object thousands of years old that was built in the future-- huh? [19:08] Coro has entered a system designated "Longshot" to investigate a possible Jjaro artifact. The system is highly radiation intensive, with a red giant star and two gas supergiant planetsw. Orbiting the inner planet, shielded somehow from the strong radiation, is a hollowed-out asteroid. [19:08] Some 200 kilometers long and 75 in diameter, the asteroid's interior has been divided into at least two chambers. Coronado, accompanied by Vanquish and several squadrons of Defender small craft, had no sooner approached the object before it enveloped us in a tractor beam and drew us inside. [19:08] We are currently exploring the second chamber of the object, which we have learned may have been built by Federation member races and is apparently called "Xanadu." The second chamber resembles the interior of a Camelynian Worldship, with cities, farms, fields, and mountains... an entire biosphere! [19:08] Briefing complete.
