The following text is copied from in-game. Typos and inconsistencies preserved.

643 personnel aboard the Starbase Victoria were able to breathe a sigh of relief this morning as an asteroid narrowly missed their synthetic food processing plant. At 08:12 Galactic Standard Time this morning, station personnel woke to the sounds of emergency alarms indicating the approach of an object on an unsafe trajectory. Although the asteroid, classified as Object 26732, was less than 5 meters in diameter, it had the potential to tear through the hull of the Starbase killing every person on board. The station’s long range detection system failed to notice the sudden change in direction of Object 26732. Scientists are still trying to determine why the asteroid deviated from its previous orbit. Preliminary conjectures lean toward long range gravitational effects of Cole’s Comet as it makes its way through our solar system.
