It's just a ship dropping out of warp a safe distance from our system. While inconvenient, it's considered best practice to drop out well away from the system's center to shed the particles you've accumulated in your warp bubble during transit. They are extremely energetic and can cause immense damage if released irresponsibly close to an inhabited planet. This is especially true when visiting a primitive world that hasn't set up any sensible warp safety systems.

Yeah, I thought this was common knowledge by now? It's like they don't even care to do some digging before posting stuff anymore...
