The galactic core still had a small presence of automated Triarian scavenger ships, which had long since cleaned up the debris from the antimatter rings and what was left of the vessels. They had been using the debris to construct a space station of some kind, which had most systems constructed but its body wasn't complete.
Their mission had begun less than a year ago, and the machines had made slow progress as they had to make the parts after melting the scraps

The new contact was seemingly ignored, save for a single drone which flew towards it, before turning and zipping back to the half constructed space station
Half a minute later a Triarian Patrol, consisting of two hastati and a princeps, appeared in system, responding to the message sent by the drones

The ships moved forwards slightly and examined the new contact, but didn't do anything as of yet
