It referred to a "Silver Comet".
That set off a memory from long ago on Galnet. 27 January 3301 to be precise.

That article was itself derived from a short story in "Tales From The Frontier". "The Comet's Trail" by Darren Grey.

I was 1 jump away from Ross 690 when I was told about the reddit post, so I went to check it out for myself.
Halley Installation in Ross 690
Which had a satellite nearby with a data scan
There were 3 ship log uplinks to scan for messages
Based on that, and the Galnet article, I went to check out Quiness, only 20ly away.
There was a Listening Post in orbit around Quy in Quiness.
This one mentioned about the Karis system.
Karis was 117ly from Quiness, so a few jumps later, there was nothing out of the ordinary. I went scouting around the planets, until I saw a blank entry in orbit around Karis AB 2 on my contacts tab...
It was another huge structure.
There were 3 Ship Log Uplinks.
The 3 messages combined read...
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention someone scanned me on arrival. The Pirate Lord Luca himself!
For those of you wondering what this is about, this is expanding from the short story in "Tales From The Frontier".
Thanks in no small part to the Children of Raxxla Intel team for providing backup and research while I was flying around for these POIs.

Little Anaconda for scale again.
