Danar's Stolen Transport Drive Section
A jagged, compact drive section ripped from a small stolen transport: scorched metallic plating, exposed cabling, and a flared exhaust bell the size of a man’s torso. Sensors register it as the only remaining wreckage clinging to an asteroid—silent, lifeless, and strangely intact where one would expect ruin. The bridge crew interrogates its readings; Data catalogs signatures, Geordi squints at the feed, Worf tenses for action, and Wesley points out the impossible: the module itself vanishes from sensors. That disappearance flips containment into bafflement and forces officers to revise assumptions on the fly.

Purpose
The primary propulsion and drive module of a small transport vessel, providing thrust and housing core systems necessary for maneuvering and short-range travel.
Significance
Acts as the physical clue that converts a presumed fatal wreck into proof of the escapee’s extraordinary capabilities. Its sudden sensor disappearance escalates a tactical pursuit into a political crisis, exposes gaps in Starfleet detection, and reframes Danar from presumed casualty to a cunning, elusive threat.
