They were surprised by Nessus actually being where it is as it shouldn't be there, the ship's crash was due to the result of the Orbiting Centaur's added six dimensions to it's four dimensional space.

Following the [[Red Legion]]'s invasion of [[Earth]], they began to mobilize their forces across Nessus in an attempt to uncover any secrets it harbored.
