Far Frontiers sector.
The Inquisitor exited Jumpspace in the predicted approximate week. Total time in Jump was seven days, plus four hours.
They had allowed for a month of searching leading up to the terminal intercept phase. Instead, due to their data and readings from the Saulente system, plus active and passive sensors (RADAR, LADAR, Neutrino sensors, densitometers, etc.) they located what appeared to be a large mass moving on the predicted vector at approximately 26 light-minutes range (468 million km).
Their target appeared to be a nickle-iron asteroid travelling at approximately 0.15% of the speed of light. It was 10km x 8km x 7.5km. Just under 50 billion tons standard displacement. An incredible feat of engineering, not even considering how long ago lived the culture that produced it!
