BEGIN LOG
Date: March 18th, 2844
This is entry one of my observation of D-1025, noting the date of discovery and the entry of the system into the Imperial Databanks. D-1025 appears to have a single G-Type star. The star does not appear to have any anomalies from what we can visually observe other then some sort of faint distortion that makes the star appear blurry via conventional telescope lenses. Myself and the rest of the observation team have written this off as possible machine error or some sort of anomaly in the path of the star. We are expected to arrive at a second set of coordinates in seven days from which we will resume our observation of this system in order to have a proper reading. No other details to report. End log.
Date: March 25th, 2844
This is entry two of my observation of D-1025. It appears that this distortion was not due to a passing anomaly but is associated within the system itself. While we remain unsure as to the cause of the distortion within the system we do know that whatever this anomaly is can only be observed within this system and not in any local systems. The team is currently theorizing that an unknown type of solar radiation may be the culprit. I personally am not convinced on that explanation as distortion from solar radiation light years away seems unlikely. I will be requesting the use of long range scanning equipment in order to properly identify the cause of this distortion. No further details to add, end log.

This is entry three of my...interesting...observation of D-1025 which the crew is now referring to as 'the Blur'. Following the used of several high powered sensors on the ship and contacting several nearby observatories to request the use of their equipment as well, myself and my team can say with confidence that this system is unlike any we have seen. All of our equipment is unable to read anything inside the boundaries of the system. Signals, sensors, and waveform blasts all fail to return to the systems on the ship and at partner observatories. D-1025 is either absorbing every signal and scan we send toward it or scattering them. This discovery is unprecedented as this level of disruption to sensors has never been observed for an area of this size. One or two planets sure, but a whole system? The though never crossed my mind until now. If we are able to find out the cause of this 'Blur' the military applications could be incredible. Due to the fact that our sensors cannot give us any details about the system I will be using a high powered telescope I have requisitioned to get a better direct visual observation on the system. With any luck we can find the source of these distortions. End log.
Date: April 22nd, 2844
This is my forth, and likely final, entry on D-1025. Following the use of a high powered telescope I was able to make visual observation on D-1025. While much of the distortion remained, I was able to observe what appeared to be celestial bodies, possibly gas giants due to the size of them. It is probably to assume there are possibly exo-planet orbiting them. However, it appears we have a clue as to what may have caused the distortion. Attached in this report is the image taken from our telescope of what appears to be a large structure of some sort at the very edge of the system. I am unable to determine it's composition, but it appears to be mechanical in nature. Due to this I must come to the conclusion that the distortion produced by D-1025 is likely not a natural phenomena, but rather something that is being produced by a civilization inhabiting the system. I am unable to present any more information about this system at this time as I lack the ability to gather information in this scenario. I will be forwarding this report to Commodore Graham to let the higher ups determine what is to be done about this discovery. On a personal note, this discovery disturbs me. The fact that a civilization that we have not yet encountered has the ability to render even military grade sensors useless is concerning to say the least. I am not sure if I may have just opened Pandora's Box upon the Imperium.....
