Already twelve years into this mission, you and your team are charged with locating possibly habitable exoplanets.
This far out of the solar system, the only way to locate them is to send scanning probes, clearing out the areas around their possible locations.
Unfortunately, we've identified that some exoplanets do not react well to our probes and burst into a fantastic supernova on impact.
DON'T BLOW UP MORE EXOPLANETS
