Tekron Incident

Known simply as "The Tekron Incident", this refers to the final fate of the TTR Missiles, which were lost when G.S.S. Tekron was unsuccessfully scuttled. The uncertain fate of the weapons, along with the wreck's resting place close to an inhabited system, led to all reports being classified, and quietly buried.

G.S.S. Tekron

The Tekron was built as part of Operation Jackroot and classified as an armored re-supply ship. The vessel had defensive capabilities equivalent to a battle cruiser and was even lightly armed. It lacked the main guns of a formal battery ship, she was considered sound enough to take in to war zones with escorts and provide supplies to capitol ships.

Incident

The Tekron was tasked with carrying four hundred TTR Missiles to be deployed against Kamian ships. The task force was intercepted and, fearing the payload would be captured, the captain ordered the ship set to auto-destruct and the crew attempted to escape on the support ships. The vessel, which had been set down in a deep crater on a moon, did not explode when the timer counted down. The weapons (along with the ship's own weapons payload), however, were confirmed to be armed. With an explosive equivalant of nearly 4 peta-tons of TNT, the entire area was rather wisely declared off-limits.

The moon containing the wreck sits in the outer portion of an inhabited solar system.
