Non-Archimedean uniruledness conjecture for analytifications

Let KK be a complete discrete valued field with equal characteristic 00, and let X\mathcal{X} be a uniruled variety over KK. Say that a proper geometrically integral smooth KK-analytic space is non-Archimedean uniruled if it can be covered by open virtual disks after a finite field extension KKK'|K. Non-Archimedean uniruledness conjecture. The analytification Xan\mathcal{X}^{\textsf{an}} is non-Archimedean uniruled; equivalently, it can be covered by open virtual disks after a finite field extension KKK'|K. This is proposed as the non-Archimedean analogue of uniruledness, motivated by the expectation from Mori's conjecture and by the emptiness of the essential skeleton for smooth uniruled varieties. It remains open in general.
