The Gazer

This page refers to the mummified remains that were found on the planet Horizon Prime. It is an important part of The Trail.

Overview
In the closing years of 20 DTM a small Dominion craft passed through the blistering Ion storms in the upper atmosphere of Horizon Prime. A planet which had long sat inside of The Starbright Dominions borders, but had previously been considered dead. Before the pilots eyes expanded a vast plain of black rock, only broken up by the occasional bright blue flash of the storm high above. They had been sent there on a mission of exploration to get in a bit of exploration before the fickle weather decided to close back up and lock the planet away for another hundred years.

The only thing that they had time to explore was the ruined hulk of a space ship that had seemingly crashed at some point in the past, kept in pristine condition due to the lack of air. There they found the Stargazer, deep inside one of the central rooms; frozen in a seat staring into a large telescope shaped object that pointed out into the universe. The crew was able to escape Horizon Prime with only one thing from the ship, a data bank taken from the telescope itself.

Connection to The Trail
About a decade after 0 DTM a gathering of space faring historians met to discuss how to organize past events. It was during this conference that the decoded information from the telescope came to light, about exactly what the Stargazer had actually been looking at. The coordinates that were pulled out matched exactly with the current locations of many of the matter creation items.
