On the long journey of deep-space exploration, even the Auxiliary Ships in an NPC Fleet were specially designed military vessels. The starship collecting Interstellar Dust before them, however, was clearly nothing more than an ordinary civilian vessel. In another sense, the very act of collecting Interstellar Dust was itself

Lin Zhichen mused. Unusual phenomena often concealed something special. He carefully observed the entire star system: all 23 planets had been fully transformed, their surfaces covered with buildings and even their undergrounds riddled with mines. In short, every resource had been used to the limit.
Enormous Planetary Rings filled the orbits around the planets. Docks, turrets, and Space Factories made the most of every inch of space. Everything seemed to point to the unusual nature of this special NPC Faction.
He had even observed more than a dozen asteroids that had strayed into the gravitational well of this wandering star system. The special faction had captured them as if they were priceless treasures, then secured them in orbit around the star. An obviously artificial Asteroid Belt had appeared on the system's outer edge.

The device could create a Warp Bubble and carry the
