The Dead Fleet

*The following document has been translated from Kay*   ————————————————————— Classified: Clearance level Opaque   Shadow Tech debrief 8-16-2205 04:00   Investigations devision   Commanding officer: Hiemlot Apach   Task Force: Kalisk   Sector: Formadine Rift   System: Cyp-1334KI   Reports of multiple UFOs spotted in the Formadine Rift intercepted from Exploration Guild channels. Task Force Kalisk deployed from Cyp-13317KL at 02:00. Reached target system by 03:00. 78 unidentified starships found at scene along with two witnesses, human explorers. Starships did not match any class currently on record, Agent Mulhon hypothesizes they originated outside the Milky Way. Approximately 22,096 unidentified life forms were recorded in the interior of the UFOs. All life forms were determined deceased. Cause of death unknown. All starship systems including life support appeared functional.   Witnesses, two human males 25 and 33, detained at the scene. Initial interrogation yielded unsatisfactory results. Sent to Cyp HQ for further questioning.   Final analysis: Unidentified Starships appear to be of alien origin, outside of anything currently in galactic record. Further investigation required. Recommended course of action is to confiscate all evidence of UFOs to Shadow Tech HQ for further research. Public statement is ill advised   End debrief… —————————————————————

Conspiracy theorists suggest scattered Shadow Tech reports confirm the existence of the dead fleet. However as of this writing no physical evidence has been reported to back up these claims.

The story of the dead fleet is a popular tale used to scare children when they are young, particularly among the Kaylone and Humans.

Some retellings assert that members of the dead fleets crew were still alive upon discovery. However this is widely regarded as a false dramatization of events in order to make a more compelling story.
