All of the 'Terrakin' nations put their plots into motions. It seems, collectively, they would deal with the problem themselves. Over the months, their first spacecraft would begin being constructed, and what relevant infrastructure they had would be modified for a better look, in the Ordered Dominions' case. The Orb drifted through the nebulae, coming closer and closer, ever so slowly.

Astrologists would detect something else in the skies: It appears an asteroid field in the center of the star-cluster, which was thought to be utterly barren in terms of materials, is much more stocked then previously thought. While it doesn't have any [i]standard[/i] materials, it does seem to have a special mineral, 'Gallium'. Gallium has special high-energy properties that could allow for very advanced weapon systems. It could be used to enhance explosives, propellants, or energy weapons. It is in orbit around G3104, a colder yellow star.

In addition, there's another interesting object in G3104; [i]something[/i] is gaining and quickly losing energy every 72 standard hours. The Anomalous Object is in orbit around G3104-2, a barren planet not much larger then Pluto, and is covered in a thick layer of ice. The anomalous object is large, but at this distance it's hard to tell just how much.

G3104 is in range of every nations' theoretical ships, and current ones (assuming they have FTL, of course).
