The hulking ship nears the speed of light as its massive engine fires canisters of fissionable products, detonating them behind itself to accelerate 9.81 m/s/s. Long radiators extend out from the central part of the scaffolding, reaching 300 meters. Half of this wonder is missing; most of its starboard side is gone; only jagged pieces of metal remain. A stray micrometeorite infinitesimally small impacts the behemoth nearing relativistic speeds, going straight through the ship's hull and reaping havoc on an ancient machine's internal mechanisms.
