Isn't Sirius a permit system? If so, how do you get a permit?
gaining rep in one of the neighboring systems until you are allied, then you get the permit mission.
Take a trip to Sothis/Ceos, easy Sirius Corp rep gain there.
So if we assume Hudson is planning an attack on the wedding, gets the Emperor, Winters, and a few other potential heirs on both sides, he then claims it was aliens and points at the UA? Presumably after scattering a bit of alien tech around to find in the debris?
If that is the case, Sirius and Winters would not seem to be involved, unless Sirius were the ones who worked on the UA in the first place to create it/study it?
Still not clear and a lot of supposition involved. Still doesn't help us figure out what the thing is or what it does, besides being a story mechanism of some sort.

Okay, so I imagine then artefact bearers have made the trip to Sirius. Nothing special in Sirius either?

Yep. Let's look at this while we're at it. Winters is positioned to be a fantastic nefariously scheming character.... Even if Hudson has been visiting certain military industrial complexes and making preparations for a well armed Federal Navy that is way too obvious and let's face it all eyes are on top.. Who slides out of view and has all the time to accomplish all sorts of things good or bad, is the Shadow President (nice title) who has connections to Sirius and who has a pretty nice propaganda machine behind her.
Galnet also said his predecessor wouldn't attend the wedding. His non attendance is just politics.

I did yes, took a trip out specifically since those stations cannot be profitable, they look really out of place.
I could see nothing out there (Ceos), I deployed and checked the morse, docked at the station and checked stuff in there too.

Okay, new theory given the Galnet article detailing the shuttle accident in the Sirius system at https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55c07fd99657ba707a237d68 .
This part of the story seems highly relevant: "A Sirius Corporation shuttle was destroyed this morning when its docking computer failed on approach to Patterson Enterprise in the Sirius system. While such failures aren’t unheard of, they are rare, especially among smaller craft."
Let's assume the shuttle was carrying an artefact. We know it degrades systems, not just the frame shift drive, so not out of the question. This is a huge hint. To me, it means it has something to do with the Sirius Corporation, which was at the heart of the Antares Incident at https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55bb42b19657ba152b2ff024 and also Sirius specialist teams were called in to investigate the Halsey disappearance at https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/d4300ee6719838070a297fe1fd28006021a1587b and now we know the guy who was a part of the investigations into both incidents, Sean Richards, is now dead thanks to similar systems failures.
So, looking back at Galnet--re: the answer is in Galnet, per Kerrash--Sirius issued a call for exploration data in February at https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/22c6bdb75efe2841a3a9328466014464b03abce5 to build new colonial outposts. The survey completed in March and then Sirius announced where the colonies would be on March 12, two days after Wings launched at https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/c07d15e3f313d64340ce1c4876dbbda76675ed8c:
12 MAR 3301
Launching the Colonies
Almost a thousand years ago, a corporate colonisation project from Earth set out on a trip to find a new home among the stars. The colonists settled in the Sirius system, where they became one of the leading suppliers of drive fuel anywhere in the galaxy, and so the Sirius Corporation was born.
The Sirius Corporation has a long history of colonising worlds beyond the borders of occupied space, which is why the Sirius Corporation is pleased to announce that it will be returning to its roots with the launch of 9 new colonial outposts, all of which should start being deployed within the next 14 days.
The 9 systems chosen to act as new homes to Sirius Corporation colonists are:
The Wredguia Colony Cluster
Wredquia SX-L D7-92
Wredguia SX-L d7-91
Wredguia WD-K D8-66
Wredguia QA-N b34-4
Wredguia XD-K d8-78
Sirius Outposts
Gliese 97.2
HIP 8396
Col 285 Sector WA-L b9-3
CAO Junga
So maybe the artefact needs to be brought to one of these systems?

Uhhh well stuff that's not built to last in open space implode...which suggests that the same is true with the UA and so it's not meant to be exposed for long and used for a small time.....but used for what? As the only scientific explainion from the evidence that is fact (to me) says it's a beacon/computer core of some kind which again no one has really said why it can't be....
I did, the post above yours.
Ceos & Sothis, formerly known as Wredguia something, the most extreme of the Sirius outposts.

UA could just be a long distance transmitter which disrupts computer systems...it need not be sacrificed to do assassinations, otherwise use a less conspicuous bomb.
indeed. maybe there is a special mission at Patterson station that requires an Unknown Artifact. just guessing.
I know it is a huge hint, I am just not convinced it makes much sense, or leads to any sort of clear resolution, but that may just be a factor of how little backstory there is to some of this. So Sirius ships (Antares, maybe SS1, this shuttle) had a UA on board that no one knew about? Or were they onboard because they were investigating it like us? And who in their right mind would put one on a huge passenger ship knowing that? And it just happened to be onboard the shuttle carrying the only guy who knows what happened to both Antares and SS1? And the ship that had the President on it? So do we assume that Sirius have secretly been working on this tech since Antares despite the known risks, and these were just accidents? Or that they deliberately sabotaged the three ships? If the latter, why? To kill the President in an effort to move Winters up the food chain, and then cover it up by killing their own investigation team the exact same way? Not exactly subtle that last case.
And of course, none of this answers the questions of what the UA is, where it is from, whether it is alien or an alien hybrid, or what it does. Or what the Morse is for. Or even where we should take it. We have already taken it to Sirius. Was it found or made on one or more of those new outposts? They did not exist before the SS1 incident, let alone the Antares incident, so that makes little sense. Nor does it answer why a bunch of them are being moved around by Federal and Imperial convoys (generally found nowhere near any of those new Sirius systems). INRA working with Sirius and Winters?

So far as I know the artefacts have been in since Wings 1.2 update on March 10. Halsey's ship disappeared in May.
I will be searching again for more UA's the next few weeks as I will be pirating in Pegasi sector (Archon Delaine territory).
I think Mon, Tue, Wed are the best days to find one but I'll be pirating all signals all week and for a few more weeks till I need a change of pace.
I will try all signals cos if I dont find UA I'll be making credits while I am searching.
I'll be in open if any of you want to wing up, I don't mind the company or to help get you an UA.
I got the equip for a quick smash and grab of the UA.
In open avoid 34 Pegasi and Harma and any of Archon Delaine expansion systems.
Here there is alot of Empire wings looking to kill.
The rest of Pegasi sector is pretty empty.
Archon supporters are not many and are not really combat pilots but they will kill if they can any outsiders but they will prolly try to avoid you. (they have more important things to get on with).
Another thing.
Have we explored the shady missions for what seems like secret organisations?
I have come across these missions but failed the one I got (it timed out) and never recieved another one.
I never heard anything about these on forums and 400 pages is a bit to go thru to see if this has been mentioned.
The mission I got happened to be from a permit system faction.

Explode not implode. Without outside pressure from an atmosphere to keep things in check an object subject to internal pressure (such as bloodflow or internal air) but in a vacuum would explode (to a certain degree) if its surface is compromised somehow. Best example I can think of is look at your canopy when it cracks it explodes outward taking all the air with it. That is called explosive decompression. The opposite would be under water where the ambient pressure is far too great in that case you could technically have an implosion.
My thing is why is the UA exploding? is it because of some mechanism that is causing it to self destruct or is it another thing altogether? Then there is the possibility that it is just part of the game mechanic (a technical reason) where some items in space just pop after a while.
