Designation: Fragment X-47

This jagged fragment is believed to have originated from the shattered remains of a proto-planet that once orbited within the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Its surface bears the scars of countless high-velocity impacts, etched with strange pitted cavities and rust-like mineral veins that shimmer faintly under starlight. Some xenogeologists speculate the rock contains trace isotopes not found anywhere on Earth, hinting at a long-forgotten cataclysm in the early solar system. Others whisper that its hollow channels once carried currents of exotic plasma, remnants of an alien engineering attempt to harness the power of an asteroid itself.
