Due to the close proximity to a star, an FTL jump destined for Mars was briefly interrupted by a massive solar flare that extended to the FTL engines at the moment of the jump causing a resonance in space-time. The resonance caused the Selebi and her crew to be duplicated several times, recreating them in several universes despite many of those verses already containing a Selebi and crew. Every copy after the first was worse off than the one before. Because of the flare, which traveled with the Selebi in its infinite duplication, each vessel in the succeeding line was effected more intensely by it; going so far as destroying the ship entirely during the FTL jump.
