One proposed theory to explain the
erratic and significant dimming of KIC 8462852 is that a comet broke
up around the star. The frozen remains would expand into giant clouds
that could, for a short time, block out the light. However, this
would cause dust to scatter near the star and produce excessive
infra-red radiation, something easily detected from earth. However,
no such radiation has been detected. One astronomer, Jason Wright,
has proposed the theory that, though aliens should be the last
hypothesis to consider, “this looked like something an alien
civilization would build.” The term “alien megastructure” has
seen lots of Google searches since the announcement, and theories
range wide and far. Personally, I think the idea of an alien space
station seems a bit far-fetched, considering that even the Death Star
in Star Wars was no where as big as this object would have to be.
Perhaps it's a fleet of alien starships, engaging in a gigantic
inter-stellar battle?
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
