Butterflies of the Dark Star

INTRODUCTION

The Ushavex nebula has baffled humanity for the entirety of the galaxy's life. A giant wall around our spiraling stars. No matter how much technology advanced, it simply made no sense no matter what we threw at it. Anomalous researchers studied the wall for ages, but found no way through. It is a physical barrier preventing us from exploring the rest of the stars.

These are the objectives of the D.S Butterfly as stated by the United Civilizations of the Galaxy:

1. Study the readings which echo off the edge of the universe compared to the nebula's internal structure and composition.

2. Find a way through the wall using cosmomarkers between the first exo-planet where the wall appears to thin, and the other side based on previous calculations.

3. Class the anomaly within the nebula and study its properties.

Is it a mechanical failure? Is it caused by the nebula's readings? There are many questions we have to ask of this nebula, and of our own capabilities as we use the self-same anomalies we can't understand as a self-replicating power source. At what point do we stop referring to such things as 'anomalies', whose very definition speaks of a lack of understanding? Do we understand enough to use it as energy, or do we take the risk of the unknown to fuel our societies? These are the questions the UCG seeks to answer with our final frontier.

In sending the D.S Butterfly as a battering ram through the wall, and seeking the truth of the universe, and the greatest anomaly of all.
