NeXTs Wormhole Incident

the NeXTs Wormhole Incident is an incident that occurred on November 6th 2035 with the Neonsihruri Chwetsoanir (Deep-Space Explorer) spacecraft.

NeXTs was the fastest object ever created by humans, due to its use of experimental photon stream engine technology. It traveled as fast as 3 million miles per hour at the apex of the mission, almost 30 times faster than the next fastest spacecraft.

When NeXTs reached its target at Proxima Centauri B after travelling for 70 years, unknown static began to manifest on the pictures. As it maneuvered into a far orbit around the planet, it transmitted its last regular photo.

Its next picture was taken just minutes later, and instead of showing Proxima Centaury B it showed an unknown planet and its moon. Judging by the picture, the spacecraft was tumbling and approaching the planet at a high speed. It's very lucky a photo came in at all, but it was the last photo the spacecraft would send back.

It's thought that NeXTs then crashed into the moon just minutes later. The Rikutsaren Space Agency's NeXTs team, due to the distance of Proxima Centauri, did not know this had happened for over 4 years.

After examination by the Imperial Government, it was determined that the unknown planet was, in fact, the planet Lithos and its moon Thelán. How NeXTs traveled over 2 million light years in the course of a few minutes is unknown, and the only credible theory is that the craft encountered a wormhole, perhaps purposefully placed, in its path, and that as it tumbled towards Thelán its dish happened to point back through the wormhole just once and only for a few seconds.
