{{quote|'''Something huge has been spotted on the edge of uncharted space. It's miles long with a maw that could swallow a dozen star ships. It could hold a crew of tens of thousands or a crew of thousands ten miles tall. It's on a direct course for our solar system and we need you to investigate it.'''}}
 
Such is the Big Dumb Object. It's really, really big and really, really powerful. It could be a weapon or a habitat. The Big Dumb Object is always technologically more incredible than anything the discoverers have ever seen before, but, if it's dangerous, it probably has a silly weakness like [[Logic Bomb|logic]], antimatter, or a well placed [[Attack Its Weak Point|torpedo]] in the right air shaft. Sometimes it's disguised as a natural phenomenon. See also [[That's No Moon]].
