Dead"Those things... I've never seen anything like them before, but the panel of the ship's Tech-Priest lumenoreaders says that they are star corpses. Not just corpses... They called them 'stellocide victims.'"
YOU"What did the lumenoreaders mean?"
Dead"Who knows with those star sages. Apparently, when a star dies a natural death, it's different. These look like they were murdered and plundered. All of their energy was siphoned, like when a spider sucks the innards out of a fly. And witnessing these husks, if you don't mind me saying, scared the lumenoreaders so much that they wet their metal trousers."

YOU"Don't you think that we are observing far too many stars here?"
Dead"I agree, Lord Cap'n. The stellar trajectories also suggest that most of these stars didn't use to be here. Someone was hoarding them in this system, and I wouldn't like to have been here at that time — the gravitational currents would have been pure chaos. Who could have pulled off something like that? Was it Drukhari? Dragging stars around like they are their property is quite in character for those damn xenos."

Dead"Your observation is quite accurate. The stellar trajectories point to all but one of the stars being alien to this system. The other stars were... somehow transported here from the outside."

Dead"I have no answer as the lumenoreaders have been quite vague. As far as I understand, they suspect that the death of these stars was unnatural and greatly premature. The reason for so early a demise is unknown to them."

Entry point 2 of 2
Dead"Lord Captain, the panel of lumenoreader Tech-Priests would like to inform you that we're looking at the remains of dead stars. The exact term they used was 'stellocide victims.'"
