After a thorough scan of the sector, aided by the Katana, the group found no enemy vessels, and eerily, no living individuals in the system outside their ships.  A few hours of patrols would make certain the sector was safe, but there didn't seem to be a lot of reason to worry.<br/><br/>According to sensors, the<em>Gospel of Condemnation</em>was filled with broken glass, though thanks to artificial gravity, sitting on the floors instead of floating in the air.  Visual inspection revealed the ship to be a small vessel with a dagger like shape, standing over a curved and sloping keel that once cradled a lance weapon.  A direct strike to the emitter aperture had blown out the ship from the inside, vaporizing the main lance and exposing the center of the ship to the void.  The center of the ship contained nothing but a featureless black cube about ten meters on a side, suspended in a sphere of transparent material.  The black box had an insane energy output profile, but no apparent fuel source feeding into it.<br/><br/>Just forward of the exposed energy core lay a series of odd turbines, still powered.  They sent false data to the sensors, but not in any organized way, simply spoofing the identity of various imperial starship classes while keeping the sensor profile of the<em>Gospel</em>concealed.   On a closer inspection, the very prow of the ship had a cross nailed to the hull, covered by an artificially generated air bubble.<br/><br/>The planet, meanwhile, seemed to be completely empty of powered artificial structures, but filled with massive amounts of wildlife.  There were occasional concentrations of metal that might just be ruins, or simply concentrations of pure minerals.  It suggested a planet that hadn't been touched by an organized civilization.  The largest concentration of metal was on the northern pole of the planet, which was essentially a swamp, yet it was also a metal cap, instead of the usual ice cap.  Unfortunately, the atmosphere was too thick to accurately determine the nature of the metals, except that they weren't simple iron ores.
