It takes a bit longer for the Qaen ship to pass through. After exiting subspace the ship diverts power from inner shields to strengthen outer and continues forth, scanning the field.
"We're getting many different signals. Most identifiable."

The group has dropped out of subspace in the middle of a debris field, thousands of ancient derelict hulls float in the vacuum around them.
"Welcome to the Void of Tears."

"Location marked. Categorised. Stored. These ships show little sign of salvage. Perhaps you should erect a shield around them to protect your dead from alien taint."

"Nobody comes here to disturb the graves of the forgotten, only to remember. This field of debris dates back to the first war between us as the Destroyers."
All four PGR vessels quickly fire off a few salvos in unison, respecting the fallen warriors.

The ship remains quiet, cruising through the debris, until the com reopens.
"The Destroyers. We've been doing quite a bit of research on them recently. Interesting race. Shame they exist only to defile life.

"Yes..."
One of the ships aims a spotlight at a small fragment of plating with the lettering "U.G.R.N.F.S.V DESTINY FSV-1 COMMISSIONED 924 AGR" on it.
"This is all that remains of the Republic's flagship at the time."

"You seem to have done a fantastic job at improving your ship's defenses and crews' disciplinary measures however. Qaenrough has had more than it's fair share of bloodshed in the past, way before the Days of the Unity. So many Qaen lives lost. Did you see the Planet of Blood in the Republic of Furosuto? It's fabled the grass is as red as it is because the blood of all the fallen Peacekeepers tried to escape, only to be captured once more."

"Indeed."
The PGR vessels once again create a tear in reality and are catapulted through to the next stop on the way to Furnaz.

The vessel thrusts into the tear and arrives in orbit of the world, scanning rapidly, especially the docking and research stations.

"Welcome to Ivonrur, industrial capital of the universe."
The ships orbit a seemingly barren rock with a single colony located inside a deep chasm, most of the colony itself underground.

The vessel's attention turns toward the colony.
"Why not found more colonies on this asteroid?"

"The chasm only serves as the access to the colony, the colony actually spans the entire planetoid."
A massive subspace tear opens up and a 12 kilometer long freighter catapults out of it, quickly deploying it's radiator fins and purging plasma.

We begin scanning the freighter. The exploration vessel fully shuts down for a few minutes as the crew is put in stasis and the ship's AI takes over.
"Foreign cargo being scanned. Categorised. Recorded."

The freighter lowers down into the chasm and disappears into a massive docking bay in the cliff face.
"This planet manufactures many components for starships."

"Noted. Minor exploration vessels A through J released."
Ten small ships release from the outer shell of the exploration ship and scatter down to the colony.
