It showed an enlargement of a reddish gas shell that was being pushed out by ultraviolet radiation from several O-type white stars. The rim area that the Anarchate molecular memory crystal said was the site of a naval shipyard lay near the gas bump commonly referred to as the “nose”. The Anarchate base lay just beyond the open space created by the UV radiation. He waved a hand to enlarge the border of the hollow gas cloud and spotted a green-colored oval that had two white stars near its inner boundary. Standing out as a small green splotch against the rust-red of the nebula, the data that scrolled along the bottom of the image said the shipyard orbited a white A-type star. The Anarchate ID for the star was CC41324 and it listed four planets with an asteroid belt intermediate between three and four. The shipyard was located on a Ceres-size asteroid. All four planets were gas globes still raw from their creation twenty million or so years ago. No life existed in the their ammonia and nitrogen atmospheres.
