A hulking ship nearing travels at 10% of the speed of light as it drifts through the pale. Long radiators extending from the ship's central part are jagged, ripped wings. This wounded creature is injured with massive lacerations on its side and an enormous bite taken out of its starboard midsection. A ring surrounds the creature, battered with jagged spikes and miniature shrapnel. A stray micrometeorite infinitesimally small impacts the behemoth nearing relativistic speeds, going straight through the ship's hull and reaping havoc on an ancient apparatus.
