As various colonial ships make their way into the ASTR38-A system, each and every one is bombarded by a broadcast on a frankly needless number of bandwidths, originating from the space station orbiting the gas giant. Maybe whoever's operating communications just didn't know which button to push and wanted to be safe. The broadcast is audio-only, albeit with a video component comprised almost entirely of distorted static.
"HELLO, new arrivals," says an exuberant, gender-neutral voice with an obviously artificial quality to it. "Greetings from CRUX Station. I am Photine, head of research, development, et cetera. We, the Observers, hope you come with intentions of cooperation. I believe we have much to learn from one another!"
The broadcast cuts out at that point, before resuming approximately fifteen seconds later. "Oh, and please do not disrupt the 'ecosystem' of the centermost moon too badly before we can study it. Thank you!"
