Arkhah's scan managed to locate the enemy vessel, thanks to an incredibly powerful tight beam transmission coming from the ship.  Somehow, the mass of the vessel had declined to about half that of a frigate, as if the submunitions had penetrated the hull and entirely destroyed most of the vessel.  Yet... the debris cloud that should exist from such destruction just wasn't there... which was a suprise, in the middle of an asteroid field.  Perhaps the disinegration weapon on the vessel had malfunctioned?<br/><br/>Following the beam transmission, Arkhah located another cruiser sized vessel, hiding 67 VU off the port bow of the<em> Everest</em>.  The massive vessel registered as an unknown class, and was sending a beam of almost imprehensibly powerful energies into the central star of the nebula, which was likely what was creating that odd green glow.<br/><br/>Captain Harlock recalled that the effects they had seen seemed consistent with the operation of an Eldar holofield, but a bit more sophisticated, strangely enough.
