[Report on the Ancient Artificial Celestial Body "Halo"]

[On April 17, 2157, the reporter was on an exploration mission with the Third Fleet's flagship battle group, which attempted to explore an unknown star field through the 'Red Mass Effect Repeater' in the Pojiang Galaxy, and accidentally arrived at the 'Halo System (tentative name)' where the ancient artificial object is located.] 】

[There are nine 'rings' in the galaxy, each of which is a rotating ring with a diameter of 10,000 kilometers, a thickness of 30 kilometers, and a width of 300 kilometers. 】

[After scanning, it has been confirmed that the environment on the 'inside' of all the halos is the same as the surface environment of the 'Planet Gaia', but there are a large number of high-level organisms that do not conform to the laws of the normal ecosystem, and the number of each 'halo' is about 1,000.] 】

[Later, when the Third Fleet attempted to land and probe the 'Halo', it was attacked by the Turkish Fleet, and the 'First Contact Battle' broke out, see quote for details.] 】

[According to the analysis of the activation records provided by the Turui side, the 'halo' will not react to the appearance of intelligent life in the galaxy and its satellite orbits, but when any intelligent life appears on the inner surface of the 'halo', the halo will activate some unknown weapon, destroying all life within a radius of 2.4 light years after 100 hours.] 】

[Due to the settlement with the Turks, this weapon cannot be activated, and the specific power is only the Mass Effect repeater that is damaged by the attack of this weapon at the edge of the Halo galaxy.] 】

[Note: The Mass Effect Repeater's Mass Effect shield is about 160,000 times stronger than the regular Star Alliance battleship.] 】

[According to the Turkian literature, the Halo's logic of exterminating intelligent beings in the galaxy was to contain a catastrophic creature they called 'Flood', but there is no direct evidence to support this claim. 】

[Assessment Class: Keter, extremely dangerous, uncontainable, uncontrollable, it is recommended to form a joint rapid reaction force with the Turks to deal with alien civilizations that strayed into the aura or native creatures of the aura that show signs of civilization.] 】

[Addendum: Records of the activation of the aura provided by the Turui Fang, as well as the characteristics and habits of the 'Flood Demon'.] 】

[Quote: 'First Contact Battle' Battle Report]

"Seriously, if this battle hadn't been won, those 'Land-only Parties' who were supported by the 'Earth Guardians' would definitely have jumped up and shook their lips again." O5-13 lifted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and clicked on the quote.

[On April 17, 2157, at 9:42 a.m. ship time, the flagship battle group of the Third Fleet of the Star Alliance Navy (hereinafter referred to as the Third Fleet) arrived in the Halo System (tentative name) through the Mass Effect repeater in the constellation Bojiang. 】

[At 10:11, after scanning and analyzing the system's nine 'halos', General Jon Grisham decides to send a survey force to land on the 'Fourth Halo'. 】

[At 10:31, during the landing of the detachment, the Third Fleet is attacked by the Turkish destroyer fleet (hereafter referred to as the Turkish fleet), and Admiral Grisham requests to communicate with the other side, but is refused. 】

[At 10:42, due to the overwhelming superiority of the Turkish side, the Third Fleet withdrew the Fourth Halo after covering the landing of the detachment. Reading the library

[At 11:32, the Turkish Fleet sent a landing force to pursue the Third Fleet, and another exchange of fire ensued. 】

[At 12:07, the Third Fleet breaks away from the battle line by making a short jump.] 】

[At 15:14, the turquoise fleet tracks down the Third Fleet and attacks.] 】

[At 15:45, the Third Fleet breaks away from the battle line by making a short jump.] 】

[At 17:01, the Third Fleet uses a luring signal to cause the turbulent fleet to fail to track.] 】

[At 18:18, the Third Fleet successfully raided the Touareg fleet!] 】

[At 18:53, the Third Fleet breaks away from the battle line by making a short jump. 】

[At 22:43, the Turkish fleet tracks down the Third Fleet.] 】

[At 22:44, the Third Fleet breaks away from the battle line by making a short jump.] 】

[Due to the discovery that the technology of the Turkish fleet is basically the same as its own, until 17:00 on April 21, there was no exchange of fire between the two sides.] 】

[At 17:07, the Third Fleet arrives at the Halo Mass Effect repeater, ready to jump.] 】

[At 17:12, the turbulent fleet tracks to the vicinity of the repeater.] 】

[At 17:15, the Third Fleet activates the repeater to jump, but fails to return to the Poe system, and unexpectedly arrives in the Europa system. 】

[At 18:27, the Third Fleet makes a short jump to Europa VII to join up with the local defense fleet. 】

[At 18:49, the turbulent fleet arrives at Europa VII.] 】

[At 19:25, the Third Fleet and the Defense Fleet join forces to inflict heavy damage on the turbulent fleet, and the turbulent fleet forces down on the surface of Europa VII. 】

[At 19:54, Europa VII's Anomalous Legion engages in an exchange of fire with the Turkish Airborne Force.] 】

[At 21:44, the commander of the turbulent fleet, 'Desolas Atrius', was captured alive by the Anomalous Legion.] 】

[At 22:33, the Turian commander orders all turian forces to cease fire and surrender.] 】

[On April 22, the reconnaissance unit of the airborne Fourth Halo escorted the turian landing force back. 】

[The first contact battle ends.] 】

[Upon interrogation, the reason for attacking our fleet was 'to avoid the aura activating the extermination weapon', see Addendum for details.] 】

[The Turian commander claims that his actions are in full compliance with the Citadel Convention, and has repeatedly called for 'Citadel arbitration', in which the Third Fleet requests diplomatic authorization from Parliament, or diplomatic assignments.] 】

[Addendum: Confession from Commander Turkish.] 】

"Hehe," O5-13 didn't look at the appendix, but directly closed the report: "To put it mildly, the ability to avoid the important is getting more and more obvious, a main fleet that has been chased and beaten for three days can be completely reversed as soon as it merges with the local fleet?" No matter how you think about it, it's all the credit of the 'Legion of Strangers', but it doesn't matter, it's the credit of General Williams's scientist's son, and no one can take it away. ”

He got up and paced two steps from side to side, looking up at the containment chamber, "'Citadel Council'?" Maybe there's some information about my stupid table. ”

"For the Ancient Machine! "The table is still waving its teeth and claws.
