Most people knew that asteroid fields usually had a density of one rock per thousand clicks, only an issue to those moving faster than light.
But the Viantem cascade was a ball of rocks, millions of clicks across, full of constantly colliding rocks. But the star at the center was a potentially vast energy source, so they built a probe to go in and destroy the rocks. The rocks it destroyed would power it, and it had a way to build itself again if it was too damaged.
Unfortunately, the control system of this part was the first thing damaged.
