"Calculate the possible trajectories of asteroid fragments that might collide with the Sacred Falcon and the Richelieu."
"Develop targeted plans."
This was by no means an easy task. The asteroid fragments, propelled by the energy emitted from a supernova explosion, numbered in the billions and varied in size and initial speed, each producing different levels of force. More complex was the gravitational interactions among the fragments, which made their trajectories even more unpredictable.
