Part 8/10:
The prospect of hiding demands advanced strategies often relegated to the realm of speculative science. A civilization intent on concealment may seek to find refuge far from their original solar systems, possibly choosing asteroids or regions abundant in dark matter.
Optimal Hiding Locations
Relying on subterfuge, a civilization could create habitats within unassuming interstellar objects like comets, which contain vast regions that are cold and less detectable. Utilizing technological ingenuity, such as low-power systems or advanced energy harvesting, provides a means to power small populations while limiting detectable emissions. This tactic could enable them to hide away from potential predators while preserving their existence.
