Item #: SCP-4XXX

Anomaly Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4XXX and additional SCP-4XXX-A instances require no direct containment. SCP-4XXX-1 can not, and could never potentially be, physically contained. Public astronomical data has been updated to account for the likely disappearance of Deneb and other related celestial bodies from the night sky in approximately the next 2,000 years. Research into methods of preventing ΣK-Class events is underway.

Description: SCP-4XXX is the spherical region of space formerly containing the supergiant star Deneb (alpha Cygni), located approximately 2,600 light-years away from Earth. At the present time, SCP-4XXX represents an area of spatial instability, with an abnormal lack of residual matter within its confines. No additional anomalous phenomena have been observed as a direct result of this.

Objects entering SCP-4XXX are transported to a pocket dimension immense extradimensional location, designated SCP-4XXX-Z. Additional spatial instabilities exist within this region, all of which, when entered, lead to anomalies in baseline reality similar to SCP-4XXX (hereafter SCP-4XXX-A instances). SCP-4XXX-1 is the only entity present within this space. It is not yet known if the location is infinite in size or simply arbitrarily large.

The point at which Deneb demanifested from SCP-4XXX is unknown, but (given the distance the last emissions of light have travelled from the star) is estimated to be five to six hundred years in the past. It is conjectured that, due to the area's properties, SCP-4XXX formed either as the cause or effect of this event. The fate of the star is unknown. See Addendum for further details.

Memetic resistance training is required to access information on SCP-4XXX-1.

Addendum: After Autonomous Exploration Satellite Geren-005 discovered SCP-4XXX during exploration of galactic quadrant NGQ1, the Extrasolar Activities Division gave approval to further research the anomaly. Due to the recent incident where an artificial intelligence construct was compromised by SCP-3417, the manned spacecraft Semiautonomous Exploration Vessel Messier-001 was sent to accompany the probe with the goal of preventing any anomalous alterations to its AIC.

Exploration of the anomaly would be performed by AES G-005 entering SCP-4XXX and periodically exiting, transmitting data either through its Thaumic Communication Gateways (TCGs) or radio broadcast systems. SEV M-001 would orbit the region and examine the probe upon exiting, making any repairs as necessary.
