Breaking New!<br /><br />Miss-jumped freighter returns with news of ancient crash site of a Dralasite Journey Class Cryo-Pod. <br />The independent freighter Void Cruiser has recently returned after being overdue for two months and announced discovery of a new jump route to a habitable system. Excitement over the news cooled when it was realized that the Void Cruiser's crew only had the route coordinates for the return trip as their trip to the new system was a miss-jump.<br />However, a firestorm was initiated when photos of an ancient Dralasite Cyro-pod were leaked by an unknown source in the crew. University representatives from all over the Frontier began to descend on the Void Cruiser.<br />Yet an explosion accompanied by violent decompression of the Void Cruiser's bridge is reported to have destroyed all computer records from the unfortunate ship as well as killing several members of the crew. <br />Star Law is investigating but refuses to comment on the matter.<br /><br />If the photos prove to be authentic, they and the system they were taken in,<img src="/files/u4436/th_DSC_6018.jpg" alt="Dralasite Journey class Cryo-pod" title="Dralasite Journey class Cryo-pod" width="160" height="106" /> could hold clues to the mystery of the origin of the dralasite race. Not since the arrival of the Dralasite Colony Sphere filled with Cryo-Pods containing cloned dralasites arrive in the home vursk system has any clue to their origin been discovered. The Colony Sphere's lack of a propulsion system and active crew has lead many experts to postulate that the Colony Sphere was excellerated to 1% of light speed by an external means and aimed at a distant star system. Some have even suggested that this was done to preserve their race in the face of an implacable enemy like the sathar. <br /><br /><img src="/files/u4436/th_DSC_6028.jpg" alt="Cryo pod close up" title="Cryo pod close up" width="106" height="160" /><br /><br />Unless the steps of the Void Traveller can be retraced we may never learn the truth.<br />
