Report: Tau-23 Barrier Asteroid Field -- Crystalline Formations

Preamble 1: Credit of Tau-23's Initial Cartography goes to Halbert Kennedy

Preamble 2: This research report is an extension of previous Starlight Research Consortium (SLRC) and Starflier joint research expeditions.

Preamble 3: Until proven otherwise, all materials are to be treated as Class 2 Volatiles. All analysis will be performed within the materials native environment (analysis methods to be details in a future report). For the purposes of this report, the testing suites will be limited to: Visible & Infrared Spectroscopy (determine which Electromagnetic Radiation bands are emitted), High-Resolution Radar, Laser Spectroscopy (light and energy scattering), Mass Analysis through inertia vectoring, and XRF milli-bursts. All within the local vacuum conditions of the anomalous crystals.

During a recent exploration of the Barrier Field, celestial fragments containing unique geological formations were discovered. Subsequent analysis of the fragment and its associated debris trail revealed a variety of anomalies, suggesting a common origin and potentially offering valuable insights into the history and composition of the Barrier Field. The subsequent exploration of the ‘debris trail’ found 2 previously non-catalogued fragments.

These anomalies include unusual crystalline structures, reactive materials, and anomalous radiation patterns. Further investigation of these anomalies could provide valuable information about the formation of the Barrier Field and the potential existence of other celestial bodies in the region.

Noted below are 5 celestial anomalies of interest:

Fractured Core: A large, fractured core with a glowing blue-purple-teal interior. The missing central sphere suggests a catastrophic event or removal. Previous charted by an Orbital Scan of Tau-23 [ref #1]
Split Core: Two halves of a core floating in close proximity. Dark, black crystals protrude from the center of both halves, emitting a deep, dark purple radiation. This anomaly may indicate a process of internal fragmentation or external impact.
Inert Fractured Core: A fractured core that does not emit any light and appears to be composed of the same material as the non-crystalline fragments. The missing central sphere suggests a similar origin to the first core.
Spherical Cone: A jagged, cone-shaped formation with a large red crystalline matter on its exterior. The crystalline material emits a red-yellow light or radiation, indicating a distinct composition and potential energy source.
Auroral Lattice: The most notable discovery is a moon sized crystalline lattice of Rare-Sirian-Metals (SRMs), each make-up emitting ionizing radiation and a peculiar resonance.

Analysis of Fragmentation Scatter:
A detailed analysis of 17 various fragments revealed a diverse range of materials and compositions. While some fragments were consistent with the expected composition of the asteroid field, others exhibited unique properties that aligned with the anomalies of interest. A grouping of these fragments can be chronologically reversed to determine the central gravity point of if and when these fragments and cores were once merged together.

Core Fragments: Several fragments were identified as remnants of planetary cores, likely originating from the same celestial body as the fractured cores. These fragments often exhibited similar materials and internal structures, such as metallic cores and silicate mantles.
Crystalline Fragments: A number of fragments were composed primarily of crystalline materials, similar to the red crystalline matter found on the spherical cone. These fragments may have originated from a different celestial body or formed through unique geological processes, such as volcanic activity or hydrothermal alterations.
Metallic Fragments: Metallic fragments were also present, suggesting the existence of a metallic core within the original celestial body. These fragments could provide valuable information about the planet's composition, internal structure, and potential for resource extraction.

Hypothesis A: Single Celestial Body Origin
Hypothesis: All of the cores and fragments in the asteroid field originated from a single, large celestial body that was subsequently destroyed or fragmented through a catastrophic event.

Supporting Evidence:

Similar Composition: The presence of similar elements and materials in the cores and fragments suggests a common origin.
Fractured Cores: The fractured cores may be remnants of the original body's core, while the smaller fragments could represent its mantle or crust.
Multi-Nodal Geode Planetoid: Reports note a potentially similar composed Goddess Geode located in the Baffin System.
Orbital Dynamics: The distribution of the objects within the asteroid field could be explained by the debris from a single catastrophic event.

If this hypothesis is correct, the asteroid field could provide valuable insights into the composition and internal structure of the original celestial body. Additionally, studying the fragments could help us understand the processes involved in planetary fragmentation and the formation of asteroid fields.

Hypothesis B: Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) as Cataclysmic Trigger
Hypothesis: Given Hypothesis A, on a time-scale of millions of years, the hypothesized Planetoid fractured on collision with a celestial body, and soon (on the geological timeline) exposed to a massive Coronal Ejection event. The ejected Hydrogen caused the chain-reaction, which continued, and continued until all released hydrogen was spent (average ejection event is 1.6 x 10^12 kg) resulting in the complete fragmentation of the planetoid.

Supporting Evidence:

Crystal Positioning: The host fragments have the crystalline metals facing away from the central solar.
Non-reactivity in Vacuum: Reactions are not observed when exposed to vacuum. Requiring an excitable element for catalyst.
UV Sensitive: The fluctuating UV radiation from the system's solar introduces wave-like patterns in the crystalline energy levels.

If this hypothesis is correct, containment of the crystalline lattices may be possible given a non-reactive environment, and help identify safer analysis. Note that complete gravitational vectoring will help determine if a 2nd object collided with this crystalline planetoid, or if another Hypothesis is warranted.
Recommendations: Pressurized sections of inert gases such as Argon or Helium, with double vacuum barriers between sections. Usage non-UV light sources, or low-energy laser bursting.

Appendix A
Potential Elemental Composition of the Cores
Based on the crystal formations and radiation emitted, proposed below are elemental compositions for the cores.

Core 1: Fractured Core with Blue-Purple-Teal Glow

Possible Elements: Rare Sirian Elements (RSE), such as Europium, gadolinium, or terbium. These elements are known for their luminescent properties and can produce a variety of colors when excited.
Crystal Formation: The blue-purple-teal glow could be indicative of crystals containing RSE ions within their lattice structure.

Core 2: Split Core with Black Crystals and Dark Purple Radiation

Possible Elements: Iron, cobalt, nickel, or manganese. These elements can form dark-colored crystals and are often associated with magnetic properties.
Crystal Formation: The dark purple radiation might be due to the presence of magnetic domains within the black crystals, which can emit electromagnetic radiation when disturbed.

Core 3: Dark Fractured Core

Possible Elements: Carbon, silicon, or other common elements found in planetary cores. The lack of visible radiation suggests a less reactive or crystalline composition.
Inert Core: Detailed scans show no presence of RSEs despite its similarities to Core sample 1. Hypothesis is the lattice structure was made of readily volatile isotopes, allowing the lattice to radiate away many millions of years ago.

Spherical Cone with Red Crystalline Matter

Sampled Elements: Lithium, rubidium, or cesium. These elements are highly reactive and can form compounds with oxygen and other elements that exhibit red or orange colors.
Crystal Formation: The red crystalline matter could be composed of oxides or salts of these elements.

Auroral Crystal Fragment

Given the unique rainbow crystal formation and its ability to emit red, green, yellow, light purple, and teal radiation, it is likely composed of a combination of rare sirian elements (RSEs) and transition metals.
During the sampling period, the crystal's radiation created a resonance with the spaceship hull suggesting a potential interaction between the crystal's electromagnetic field and the hull's material composition. It also created a pleasing audible tonal vibrations, which made the long collection process quite enjoyable.
