Pic of the day #5: The faithful departure of Viora SR-136

The Viora SR - 136 experimental cruiser was based on technology recovered from an archeological dig in an ancient derelict structure from the 23rd spiral region. The ancient technology that GALAXIA ΤF-aRc corp had salvaged and utilised in many prototypes was thought to be buried for millions of years. The derelict had long since been turned into the corporation's primary shipyard. Thousands of ships were launched and Galaxia's profits skyrocketed. The relic was moddified accordingly with scaffolding, living facilities and working quarters. Ore was mined from the asteroid field and used for the ships' srtuctural alloys. It was during Viora's maiden voyage when a strange source of radiation emerged from the distant part of the asteroid field. Everyone was mobilised to find the source when the whole sector was shocked by a cataclysmic explosion. The scale of the blast was such that all objects in a radius of 0.4 AU vaporised instantly! Nothing survived the self-destruction mechanism. The Old Ones finally had their vengeance!
