Her sleek black hull mirrored the brilliant stars of the Arion Sector as she quietly traveled through its systems. Purposely avoiding previously identified populated sectors, the probing ship moved through the galaxy with remarkable speed, her destination forever obscure.

Throughout the journey, she had encountered every manner of anomaly; every known and unknown mystery had passed her bow; every civilization that had risen and fallen since the beginning of time was recorded on her instruments. Her crew had experienced all that the universe concealed from most others who inhabited the cosmos.

Her mission would never end. Always obtaining knowledge and collecting infinite data for her crew. From one generation to the next, she patrolled the stars with devotion and enthusiasm. For the stars would continually reveal further mysteries and secrets as time progressed; and she would willingly accept all they had to offer.
