T76 - Report of Investigation of Disaster at MR901
The Solar Survey published its report into the destruction of the colony at MR901 on 3207.160. After a year of investigation and preparing the final report there are no firm conclusions as to why the colony was destroyed.
Report from Solar Survey
The site was investigated and no clear evidence has been found as to the cause. According to survey records from the last astronavigational survey in 3186 there were no unstable asteroid orbits expected to intersect with the colony world's orbit within 50 years. However, non-earth systems only qualify for a class 5 survey and it is entirely possible that something was missed. That said, the colony would have been spectacularly unlucky to have received such a direct hit.
There are no forensic remains we can find that indicate mass driving - but then given the energy released on impact we wouldn't expect to find any.
Full details have been passed to the appropriate survey organisations of other nearby polities to facilitate any further activity that they may be able to undertake with their previous survey reports.
