The long range sensor logged and catalouged hundereds of long range targets per second, its highly attuned system Identifying stars one by one for further identification. Following along this system was a second array of long range sensors designed to scan over each of these stars for signs of additional gravity bodies making a pull on the stars natural tilt. When these stars were identified they were then seperately catagorized, which another, third, set of long range sensors then work to analyze. This set of sensors then works to Identify how many orbiting bodies, what positions in the system they might occupy and what type of bodies they may be.
The number of long range sensors may seem extranous, but it keeps the system in operation much more efficently. The pure ammount of visible stars versus the ammount of scanning equipment available makes this a neccesary scanning agenda. It was during one of these second long scans that one of hundreds systems registered with not only a planetary body, but a singularly large body within an area of stellar orbit known as the Alice zone. This world was designated AAAZ-111110 and was the recipiant of a scanner probe launch. Amongst the many wooshes of Probe launches a second, the pod labled for the planet of its destonation was sent on its way. An automated sequance unbequething of actuall interaction, the move was made.

The probe exited hyperspace on the edge of the system, it was merely a nanosecond before it aligned itself again and re-entered Hyperspace on a new vector deeper in system. It was how the probe operated, in case the system was inhabited with unfriendlies, to best not betray its prescence directly, it remained hyperspace operable. Coming to a right angle to its next jump it exited hyperspace, collecting hundreds of gigabytes of data on the intended planet as it did before leaping back into hyperspace a nanosecond later. It would repeat this process a number of times to collect data on the planet before sending back to the Galactic Mapping Project Headquarters its collected data on the target.
Over 11,000 kilometers in diameter, this world fell well within the Alice zone, a great character for native population relocation. A verdant ecosystem could be detected on the planet already, that would save in the high costs of terraforming. On a deeper inspection the sensors registered what seemed to be at length a massive array of what appeared to be a Hyperdrive, closer inspection would be required. Moving within a hyperjump the Probe exited inside the planets Gravity shadow radius. Activating its sensors a final time it deep scanned the planet, relaying its data back to GMP headquarters.
Now
As the data was confirmed the relay suddenly shut down and no additional data has been recieved since. It is amongst conjecture that the planets gravity cuased the probe to crash, but an expidition has been sent from the Black Tion Hegemony to investigate. The ships of the expidition should be arriving now, we expect a full analysis of the system as well as a failure report on the probe. Perhaps there was more to this mere planetary system than meets the eye...
