In other news the Denebian region reports that a planet that was under observation as a potential development site for life forms has been diestroyed, authorities report. The planet, whose working title was PD347 had a combination of mass, orbiotal distance, and chemistry that was somewhat similar to Terra's and it was hoped the planet would develop life. Unfortunately the planet's orbit was disrupted by the chain of cataclysmic events that began when a neighboring star went nova sooner than expected and disrupted the path of a black-hole construct in the region. It was the arrival of the latter in the region that caused the demise of PD347.

PD347 was not occupied by known life forms at the time of the catastrophe.

The star Deneb appears at present to have survived without major damage although scientists are keeping it under observation.
