Federation Outpost Waveguide Segment
A severed length of waveguide—corrugated metal tubing and shattered mounting struts—lies tangled amid the ransacked comms racks. Insulation and clipped coaxial terminations dangle from jagged edges; scorch and pry‑marks mar its surface. The segments are arm‑to‑torso length, lightweight but rigid, and they scatter through the corridor as sharp, unstable debris. The away team treats the pieces as evidence of stripped communications gear and as a physical hazard underfoot.

Purpose
Convey high‑frequency radio/microwave signals between the outpost's antenna systems and transceivers; part of the facility's communications infrastructure.
Significance
Stripped waveguide segments mark targeted removal of comms capability, turning the scene from simple vandalism into calculated looting and providing forensic evidence for the investigation; their jagged remains also create immediate physical danger for the away team.
