Turner 12a is

Turner 12c was discovered by the late porcine empire using their stastical analysis of The Great Empire remnant technology. Using patterns of the location of found "Aberrant Materials," namely Pulse derivatives, the porcine were able to calculate predicted locations for further analysis. Initially, these surveys were paid little mind by the Porcine government. However, when Porcine Materials Science uncovered that these materials could be used as a source of massive energy, and more importantly, a weaponizable energy, funding for surveys skyrocketed.

Turner 12 was initially ignored even during these happy times of high funding. Every calculation the Porcine ran indicated that there was a "Good" probability they would find Aberrant Materials at the Turner 12 system. However, they were reluctant to waste a survey craft's time because there was no detection of a planet anywhere in the system.

Eventually, the Porcine did get to Turner 12, and quickly wished they had come sooner. The system was devoid of planets, without a doubt. However, it did house a massive asteroid field instead. The largest asteroid, classified as a planetoid, contained a larger than expected amount of Aberrant Materials on and under the surface, and had a density order of magnitude higher than expected for bodies of its size. Turner 12c would be comperable to the gravity of a large moon, with half the size.

Further study indicated that the Planetoid, later named Turner 12c, was the ultra dense core of a now dead planet. Surface analysis of the planetoid and nearby asteroids were indicative of a common origin, but asteroids in higher and lower orbits contained different compositions. No less than 5 distinct compositions were found. Another observation was that most of the other asteroids had little to no cross contamination of each other. However, asteroids with Turner 12c composition always had at least one other composition with it, and Turner 12c itself was peppered with every composition in the system.

Turner 12c has a incredibly unique geographical structure, above its equator there is a massive crater, which contains a fracture in the planetoid's crust. The fracture extends most of the way to the core.

Due to the unusual quantity of Aberrant Materials, the Porcine got to work quickly building an extensive research facility on Turner 12c, called the Turner Aberration Research Facility (TAR). The TAR was built inside the Turner Chasm, which gave them easy access to the most scientifically valuable areas of Turner 12c, as well as protecting them from the frequent meteor showers.

After several years of drilling, the composition of the planet's core was found to have been inexplicably altered, with a significant portion of its volume being replaced by Aberrant Materials. After many further years of orbital analysis, the Porcine began to prove that the other 4 planets of Turner 12 had been destroyed, and that, since their debris' orbit had all stabilized to the same degree, it happened at the same time. Furthermore, the derivative compairison of each Turner planet's estimated orbit with the average debris and outlier debris, it was found that debris was significantly more likely to be found closer to Turner 12c than away from it. For example, Turner 12a's debris was mostly on the same orbit as the planet should have been, but the debris that wasn't was closer to Turner 12c than away from it. This is notable because Turner 12c is in a higher orbit than Turner 12a was. This is also true for Turner 12d, which is higher than Turner 12c. Turner 12d's outlier debris was in a lower orbit than Turner 12d, which is closer to Turner 12c.

Surface analysis of the Turner 12a, b, and d asteroids yielded further information. The asteroids in the expected orbits of the planets did not contain many dense materials, which is unexpected. Dense materials require more force to move, which means that they should be the closest to the original orbit of the planet. Absent as they were from the expect orbits, the outlying asteroids did contain a quantity of these dense materials, but such quantities appear to have arrived by impact. While the Porcine were unable to come up with a explaination for how it happened, they were confident that the Aberrant Materials were behind it.
