Hi CMDRs,
i wanted to share a mysterious discovery i made in the Algol system. There is a persistent USS near Algol A 3 containing a ship wreckage, containers with "earth relics" and a npc cobra named "Cetus' Bane" who just stands still and has 2 more earth relics in his hold. He also has a very unique paintjob:

What i discovered is that he starts jumping away after a fuel transfer. I also followed him but after some jumps later he just stayed still in supercruise.
Maybe this is something interesting to look after. Its defienetly something new wich has been introduced with the latest Patch. I could imaine it is some hint to search the stars of the cetus zodiac or some other rddle.
There are also other commanders who made this discovery, maybe in beta and now dont find it again cos it maybe has moved when the new patch went live.

So feel free to investigate this... Me for my part wont go any further with this as i dont have the patience to search all the stars of the cetus zodiac myself.
Cya in space!
Much gold in this one.
- Algol is 'The head of Medusa' in the Perseus constelation.
- The head of Medusa was 'the bane of the Cetus'. Perseus killed the Cetus by showing it the head, thereby saving Andromeda.
- Algol is a famous eclipsing binary system.
There are some nice parallels to the Kahina/Rift story here.
Cetus is of course also the Leviathan/whale. Who killed it and scraped of it's barnacles??
