Operational note
Why this vessel matters.
Internal sensor arrays suggest the Carter monitored Fold Gate instability before its disappearance.
No living crew were recovered, but the vessel carries clean traces of abrupt environmental change inconsistent with decompression or simple combat loss.
Frequently cited in relation to Sera Venn’s models for sequence drift and route corruption.
The Carter is distinct from the warships in the same registry. Its research role and data cores put the emphasis on the discontinuity signatures themselves, while the missing crew limits what can be inferred from testimony. This record offers a reason to compare scientific data with military recovery reports, without claiming that the signals alone explain the phenomenon.
