The Specimen is a crystallized remnant of a plant, presenting a delicate web of brittle, looping branches extending outward. A once-living organism, it is now preserved in a state of suspended decay. The central trunk remains solid, suggesting resilience despite its fragile appearance. The organic material has fossilized into a brittle, almost crystalline substance, indicating extreme environmental conditions at the moment of its death and beyond.
The specimen was retrieved from γ05-σ22-π07, a dead icy planet in a distant orbit around a weak, old sun.
***This specimen holds a place of historical importance, as it is officially recorded as the first ever specimen successfully retrieved by a probe from the depths of the cosmos. Its discovery marked the beginning of an era of exploration, setting the foundation for the Kura and its archives.
