Kel'Thal System
Avan
Talla Cora (Desert of Arrival)


A huge insect plodded ponderously across the orange sands of the Talla Cora, the purple stripes around its single domed structure chipped and faded. four miraculous working mechanical legs moved the mountain of steel over and through the crests of the dunes. The Mobile Mining Colony was moving, unstopping, towards a hazy dark shape protruding out of the sands in the distance.

3 Avan days earlier a orbital imagery satellite picked up a darker shape nestling in the desert, upon closer inspection it seemed the shape was a larger construction hidden away under the shifting sands. Scouts had been sent and confirmed this, also stating that the object was of Terran design. However the design was ancient, yet arguments were sparked between the more bitter portions of Keelan and Terran populations. Such a discovery was public knowledge and some Keelans would use such proof of Terrans' alieness to instigate a civil war. However the number of dissenting Keelans was small and few listened.

On the second day after the discovery a MMC was dispatched to excavate the construction and analyse it. The thrones' senior scientists were on board, the best the two races could provide. Some where deep inside the Terrans and, to an extent, the Keelans felt the this discovery was a part of the past.

The excavation was quick and clean, the remains of what seemed to be a ship were uncovered. Broken, ruined yet whole. Unknown materials and technologies were discovered within. Yet the most shocking discovery was the living space for thousands of beings and a ships log detailing the journey in an obscure form of Terran Common, an old dialect of the the current Common spoken by both Terrans and Keelans.

The ship's log remained secret, hidden. The past inside was locked away, the past that could rip apart the powerful Confederation. However the past was not the only thing discovered inside. Plans for a space going vessel were under development, the base was the abandoned colonising vessel. The Terran-Keelan Confederation had launched several manned and unmanned spacecraft, although nothing of the this scale had been attempted.
