Acting on DC Intel (Formation Location +2 - Red Dwarf has been Spotted in Hex: 4346)

The following units jump into the hex and poke their nose around. They do not use a Pirate Point as it is   relatively uncharted system.

Long-range sensors detect a massive object in orbit of the system's single barren, resource-poor planet; however it is not nearly large enough to be the battleship Red Dwarf.

It turns out that the 'warship' loitering in this system is a battered and derelict 22nd-century Aquilla-class JumpShip in a stable parking orbit around the planet. There are signs that a small settlement once existed on the planet below, but it appears to have died out centuries ago.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Apollyon, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Seeing the intel reports were false, the jumpships finished recharging their drives and went back to report their findings.
