The Níngjìng probe is the most distant artifact of pre-Fall humanity. It is currently 31,846 AU from the sun and is still semi-functional due to novel upgrades by software engineers and auto-repair systems. Its payload includes a suite of intelligence-gathering tools. The Jovian Republic somehow acquired the communication protocols and maintains tight control over the probe, with polymorphic encryption and military-grade anti-intrusion software. Communication with the probe has stepped up signiﬁcantly over the past few months; Firewall investigations have failed to determine the source of interest.
