Rogue Planet

The rogue planetoid, heralding from unknown depths of space and carrying the remnants of a long-dead culture.

Size: 1,436 km diameter
Composition: anorthosite crust, with layers of olivine, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, and an inner core of liquid iron likely alloyed with nickle.
Gravity: .2G
Hurtling from an unknown system, this rogue planetoid traversed into the Arachnid Nebula, its own trailing atmosphere and minerals reacting with nebula's own unique composition resulted in an enshrouding ion storm of potent strength. Scans showed signs of construction. Further investigation confirmed construction utilizing cyclopean construction of dusty-orange rock. Outlines of buildings etched with heiroglyphics were the only remnants of a lost culture nearly eight thousand years old. A fragment was brought aboard Solace for further study, which was discovered to be saturated with benzilon radiation. The emanations resulted in a murderous madness overcoming the investigating scientists.
