As soon as Sandora spoke, it startled everyone. Why did she have to bring up the Fallen Apostles at a time like this? But soon I realized that Sandora had a point: Firstly, this route is brand new, we've never sent a spaceship through this area before, so the fragment can't be from an Imperial Starship. Secondly, the metal fragment Little Crow found in the Void clearly hasn't been there long: it might have recently been a part of a complete spaceship, and after the spaceship disintegrated, the Order Field dissolved, allowing the fragment to drift into the Void. Otherwise, there's no explaining how such a piece of material could persist in the Void environment for so long. Other than the Imperial Ships, only the Fallen Apostles could be responsible.
