Event: Location of the Katana Fleet

Type: Exploration (Space)
Highly advanced for its time and equipped with state of the art automation systems, it was lost in its first hyperspace voyage. The fleet consisted of 200 modified Dreadnaught-class heavy cruisers, all carrying experimental AT-PT walkers. The ships' controls could be slaved to the controls of Katana. This slave circuit system reduced the crew required from 16,000 to 2,200 per ship, allowing larger numbers of craft to be fielded.
The fleet fell victim to a hive virus that wiped out the crew after driving them insane. In their insanity, the captain ordered a jump to random hyperspace coordinates before his death. Because of the slave circuits, every other vessel in the group followed suit, and the Katana fleet disappeared, presumably making no further communication with either the Republic or the galaxy at large.
This Event provides a clue to the location of the Katana Fleet.
