Expedition: "Baxter"-Class Anomaly, Omega-11 System - TheKusari - 02-21-2022



[Image: PVArGCT.png]

Research Team, '\S/'Arcturus
Research Expedition Report on "Baxter"-Class Anomaly within the Omega-11 System
Report was compiled on 21 / 2 / 829AS


The Arcturus was ready for deployment from Starflier Base. With all her systems ready, and re-reading the scanner tutorial we received, the crew was ready to put this new scanner to the test. We had noticed these same Anomalies spawn within Kepler's storm. However considering the crew and I aren't willing to subject ourselves to spending further time within a dark matter storm, we have decided to record all other instances of these anomalies first. We headed out for the Omega-11 System to investigate and research the Baxter-Type Anomalies that have surfaced there. Halpert Kennedy's report on the system shows that these lights resided in Sector Delta 7. Our travels from the Kepler System were very uneventful. Nothing much to report.

Upon entry into the Omega-11 System, we headed to the sector Halpert noted. Once we got there, we found a derelict asteroid miner. After a brief moment, the anomaly appeared:


[Image: unknown.png?width=1186&height=741]


It looks phenomenal. Definitely way more pleasing to look at than Halpert's image recording skills. This bright light had a weird gravitational flux to it. This meant that the anomaly "leaked" light. The image above details this quite clearly. It is almost as if the Anomaly itself was trying to reach out and touch our vessel. Not knowing anything about these entities, we backed off and continued our research from a distance. The scanner that came with the Corvo-Class ship was useful in extracting small pieces of information by stripping the light of it's exterior shell. Once this was accomplished, we gathered as much data about the subject as possible. The anomaly itself changed it's form, the gravitational flux we detected at first ceased to exist once we stripped the outer shell. The previous image illustrated the visual before we started scanning it, this next image details what the anomaly changed into after stripping.


[Image: unknown.png?width=1186&height=741]


After stripping the outer shell of this entity, the inner workings of the Anomaly became apparent. Isolated instances of compressed gravitational pulls cause the anomalies to spawn. The only thing that could cause such a disturbance in space would be either a giant planet, or a supermassive sun. In the Omega-11 system, there is a Red Giant in the centre of the system. With almost no other planetary bodies around, the only gravitational influences are from the Red Giant and the Jump Holes scattered around this sector. All of this culminates into a small area where it seems to be the perfect conditions for these entities to be born. Closing the anomaly requires a certain spike of offensive power. Since these batteries could penetrate the core and close them, we have opted to use a Pulse Cannon. One pulse from this weapon causes instability within the core, effectively cascading into reducing it's lifetime. During this phase, we typically gain about 15 petabytes of information regarding the composition, life, conditions to be born and for the anomaly to exist.

Our first journey out for research purposes has been successful. We had to make return visits to the Cologne System to refresh our battery supply from a research station there. This meant continual attempts at researching these lights in space. In the end we ended up gaining over 300 petabytes of data.


Expedition: "Baxter"-Class Anomaly, Omicron Lost System - TheKusari - 03-20-2022



[Image: PVArGCT.png]

Research Team, '\S/'Arcturus
Research Expedition Report on "Baxter"-Class Anomaly within the Omicron Lost System
Report was compiled on 20 / 3 / 829AS


The Arcturus was refueled and restocked for another venture. The target system for this excursion was an Omicron System I was not familiar with. Reading up on the Map-Data reports Halpert has recorded showed a faraway rift in Omicron Delta that would take me there. A long flight ensued, taking me from Kepler to Rheinland via Kusari and then into the Omicrons. Did not take long until the Freeport within Delta was within our sights. A quick restock of basic necessities and we were off.

Once we arrived at the rift, it was like any other. An absolute uncertainty like all other rifts became apparent with the crew. As such, we initiated jumping procedures and took it right into Omicron Lost. The system looks barren, only a single planet and a station of which is owned by something I do not yet understand. Halpert's report pinpointed the sector where these lights spawned in, so the crew directed the Arcturus there.


[Image: unknown.png?width=1318&height=741]


The first of these Baxter-Type Anomalies made themselves known. Our scanners were quick to identify it as soon as it was brought to life, so we started the process to analyse everything. One similarity to note between here and the Omega-11 systems, they both have a giant sun in the centre. I am not sure if this is required to generate these lights. I stated in my previous report that gravitational fluxes with the sun, rifts and planetary bodies could create an area with perfect conditions. It seems this is also the case here too. Though, one minor difference is the asteroid field surrounding the anomaly, rather than being close to a planet and a wrecked Serenity-Class ship.


[Image: unknown.png?width=1318&height=741]


Exactly like last time, once the exterior spherical casing was made null, the pulse cannon's single shot gave us more information about this location. What we were able to determine was that my assumption was true. Gravitational compoundment in certain areas around very large suns can in fact force these lights to appear. It seems dark matter is involved, what it's role is within the process is unknown. Maybe further research may reveal this. The requirement for solid matter also an interesting point, fragmentary asteroids or a single planet is enough to create the field where these lights spawn. It might be caused by the large gravitational field the planet naturally has, or the minute fields generated by each asteroid in a given field. Once I investigate the other locations, more of this will be understood. For now, we only got a small sample from this system.

Our time in the system was short lived, as readings of alien biology was setting off our scanners. Considering the importance of this raw data and the fact we were idling in a system on the edge of Sirius, we opted to quickly make our way out the only exit of the system. Not very often to I feel anxious, this time it was getting pretty bad. Do not wish to encounter these Nomads, as their intentions regarding this raw data could be catastrophic for my crew and I.

Leon has advised us that the Pulse Cannon we use is crossing the line with the Starfliers policy against the use of weapons. However, my case against that for this job is due to the weapon only dealing large amounts of pulse energy, it can be classified as non-lethal and deemed fit to use. It just so happens that this particular cannon is extremely helpful in gathering data on these anomalies. Leon has since agreed that only the Corvo-Class ships we own shall share the same loadout.


Expedition: "Baxter"-Class Anomaly, Omicron Delta System - TheKusari - 04-13-2022

Research Team, '\S/'Arcturus
Research Expedition Report on "Baxter"-Class Anomaly within the Omicron Delta System
Report was compiled on 13 / 4 / 829AS


One system, that is all it took to find this peculiar light. Halpert's report mentioned a bright light seen within the Tokelau Ice Clouds of the Omicron Delta system. Out of Omicron Lost, we headed for the clouds to the south-eastern sector of the system. A bit of manual flying later, we managed to find it.


[Image: unknown.png?width=895&height=503]


Scanning this particular anomaly revealed almost no information. Whatever field was in place that slowed the Arcturus' movement must also be delaying the return scan signal. No matter what frequency wave we altered our scanner to, no return packet was detected. This may mean that what I have discovered is a Baxter-Class anomaly that has formed with a much longer lifetime than any others we have seen. This may be what the Gallic lawfuls would like from us. In any case, we moved out from the field and continued our journey into Tau-23.


Expedition: Brown Dwarf, Poole System - TheKusari - 07-27-2023



[Image: PVArGCT.png]

Research Team, '\S/'Arcturus
Research Expedition Report on Brown Dwarf within the Poole System
Report was compiled on 27 / 7 / 830AS


Getting a response from the Armed Forces was quite a surprise. I would have thought that their time would have been used protecting the Kingdom, not answering messages from us. In any case, my request to have points of interest given to us was answered. Jacob McIntire told me about Planet Leeds and the Brown Dwarf, alongside other location scattered around Bretonia. These will be added to the list, aside from Leeds. That is one place I will not touch as it is the biggest graveyard in Sirius.

Onto the subject at hand, I flew all the way from Liberty to Bretonia, passing by the Ice Fields of Cortez. Here is another location that made me want to look into further, scanners picked up a certain variant of Ice location close by to the star. I made a record of this and continued into Bretonia. Passing through New London and into Dublin, decided to take the rift into Poole as I wanted to take the scenic route while I had the time to wait out the travel. Once we had arrived, two things stood out to me.

There was an Orbital liner situated next to Broadstone. There is no indication of what this system offers regarding pleasing the senses, maybe a question for Orbital at a later time. The second object, the reason why we are out here in the fringes of Bretonia, The Brown Dwarf.


[Image: image.png?width=2496&height=1404]


Never in my history with the Starfliers have I observed and recorded data on a rare star type. With this in mind, the team got to work and started probing and scanning all the different elements and layers of the star. Placing the Arcturus at 5,000 meters from the Brown Dwarf, I set the scanning suite to the Starflier-Alpha preset, dialing in the input radar to about 40* to match the star's size. Diameter of the receiver was set to maximum. The switch was flipped and we started gathering the data.

Our systems began overloading when as soon as we started recording the data. The team shut down the sensor suite to assess what went wrong. We looked over the data recorded over the few seconds and re-assessed our presets and settings. There was one thing we did not account for, the extremely large infrared outburst of the Brown Dwarf. Once we doubled our input radar to 80* and set the preset to Starflier-Beta, we reinitialized our suite. This time, our databanks were filling up at the same rate as normal, pulling information from every corner of the star itself. The infrared outburst was not overloading our systems, however it did take up at most 64% of the recorded information.

There are a small percentage of Brown Dwarfs discovered a very long time ago during our time in the Sol system where they would emit radio signals. A minute change to the sensitive higher frequency array picked up emission pulses originating from the magnetic poles of this particular Brown Dwarf. It would be very interesting to compare my findings with the star we had discovered in the Puerto Rico system, perhaps that star does not emit radio pulses. We will need to record data on it once we have the opportunity to.

During the tail end of out 32 hour research venture we started to question the colour of the star. It is named a "Brown Dwarf" however the visible light the star emits is within the red spectrum. After analyzing the star more, the temperature of the star is a large influence of it's colour. The sensors reading on the temperature guage show it around the 1,000 Kelvin range. With having no other reference to base my next theory from, I can only assume that the visible light and internal elements of the star would change significantly is the temperature was a lot warmer or colder. Given that stars outlast humans in every aspect, I will not be around to record any significant change once it does happen.

One main thing I have learned so far is that if we under-dialed our suite for a specific subject, or over-dialed, we would not record the quality data we are after. Similar to the principle of capturing video footage of fire with cameras. If you have it dialed in correctly, then you get the best result. This may mean we will need to contact other organizations to bet some idea of how to penetrate the smog cloud of Leeds. Maybe another of our pilots are able to command another M.R.V. of ours and investigate the devastated planet.


Expedition: Neutron Star, Omega-41 System - TheKusari - 09-16-2023



[Image: PVArGCT.png]

Research Team, '\S/'Arcturus
Research Expedition Report on the Neutron Star within the Omega-41 System
Report was compiled on 16 / 9 / 830AS


I remember quite some time ago I, my team aboard the Arcturus had accumulated quite a few petabytes of Research Data scanning the Anomalies that would frequently be birthed within Omega-11. During my early expeditions there, I would travel towards Cambridge and sell this data to Nebula Shipping Express for quite a sum of credits. I guess this is where I was able to afford the more sophisticated scanning systems on board. In any case, they had requested to have more information obtained from an object deeper within the Omega Border Worlds. Specifically, the Neutron Star within the Omega-41 System. I will have to make sure to take care of my team, losing a single person may mean I will have to hire a specialized person to take over. I only say this considering the lack of shielding on my ship, especially when the subject of this expedition is a Neutron Star. Note, will keep my distance. Our expedition into Omega-41 was most definitely a short one, rivalling our visit into Omicron Lost. Though the reasons for our short time here are much different than within the Omicrons.


[Image: image.png?width=1620&height=912]


The Neutron Star. The first of it's kind that I have had the chance to study. Out of all the solars and objects within Sirius, this may be one of the most dangerous natural entities within space. Nearby the star is located a Freeport numbered 5, the crew of which are already struggling with drop offs of medical related supplies to keep the station running. They had spared what they could for our team to keep us alive during our short visit.

During our four our stationary scanning session, we had only obtained only one piece of detail. If we had stayed longer, we would have learned more, though if we were to come back we'd ask MFE to bring along a medical frigate to accompany us. The major detail we had observed from the Neutron Star is it's consistence pulse of high yield radiation from it's core. Every few seconds, this pulse would expand from it's magnetic center in the form if a sharp flat disk. As it grows in size, the disk slowly loses it's strength and dissipates. The composition of this pulse is something we weren't able to gather, though we can confirm that the make-up of the pulse allows the human eye to see this pulse as a red ring during it's repeated short lifetime. Another such detail is that we were located outside of the ring's visible area, though it seems that the invisible radiation still carries forth after the visible ring disappears, meaning that no matter where you are in the system, these pulses will reach you and eat away at your ship's hull plating.

I had hoped we could record what is within the star itself, how these pulses are generated and released. Though the star's size being akin to a large moon and with these pulses being recorded as extremely deadly when up close, we do not have the capacity to learn what we would like from something as intense as a Neutron Star. In this case I would request assistance from other researchers, bring a small fleet into Omega-41 and combine our resources to obtain everything from this star. At this time, the details recorded about the pulses is all we were able to obtain.


Expedition: Artificial Rift, Puerto Rico System - TheKusari - 10-06-2023



[Image: PVArGCT.png]

Research Team, '\S/'Arcturus
Research Expedition Report on Dr. Richard Batsbak's Artificial Rift within the Puerto Rico System
Report was compiled on 6 / 10 / 830AS


Not very often do we get a transmission from a lone researcher asking to meet in a volatile system. Dr. Batsbak requested the Starfliers to come out to the Puerto Rico System to observe and scan their successful attempt at generating a tear in space. This report will record and detail findings of this rift as it was when Dr. Batsbak showed it to us, as the Starfliers we not part of the process of generating it. As such, any information about how it was created we will obtain from Dr. Batsbak themselves, it will be entered as a supplementary report.

Puerto Rico System, Sector Golf 4. Already a dangerous sector, considering we had already sent Halpert through this part of space quite some time ago. This had helped me a lot to understand that the rift was located very close to two dangerous interstellar phenomenon: A Neutron Star, of which we had researched one briefly within the Omegas recently. The other was a Stellar Matter Stream, this is my first time being close, yet at a safe distance, from such a deadly field.


[Image: image.png?ex=652c9253&is=651a1d53&hm=9d9...height=912]


Once the tear was discovered, Dr. Batsbak advised that the exit vector is undetermined. The readings I took from this showed that a vessel of any mass and size were able to safely make transit within. Considering the nature of this tear, being a temporary breach, we would have no time to gather one of our S.C.V.s to investigate where the wormhole connects to. Studying it for a time, I managed to pinpoint that the exit vector is within the Omicrons, with no specific system calculated. In my experience, the Omicrons are dangerous, but less so compared to the two dangerous entities both myself and Dr. Batsbak were sitting next to. I decided to take the Arcturus into the rift, making sure that all research equipment and materials were bolted down to prevent anything from being damaged.

Transit through the rift was very rough, lasting around 37 seconds until we were ejected into the destination system. During these seconds, it felt as though the ship were being pulled out of the tunnel. I am not sure if this is a side effect of the rift being temporary or artificial, my chances to obtain more information are now zero. Though the walls of this wormhole were strong enough to keep my ship within it's bounds. To my surprise, my calculations were correct. We had landed in the Omicrons - specifically Kappa.

After a few hours in Zurich, I flew back to Puerto Rico to obtain one last scan of the jump hole before it collapsed. Further scans show that the outskirts of the Stellar Matter Stream may have interacted with this EMP pulse Batsbak had mentioned. Though without knowing the composition of this EMP burst, I am at a loss about what it is they launched to create this. Spending another 3 to 4 hours in Puerto Rico was enough for my team, we had to leave in order for us to receive radiation treatment.

The rift has now collapsed. Any other information will need to be obtained from Batsbak directly.

As of writing my report, Richard Batsbak has provided us with further information on how this artificial tear in space was created. You will find his words below in the supplementary report.


[+]Supplementary Report


Reports: HFBC-JDC - Fat Moose - 12-16-2023



[Image: starfliers_logo_ship_only_no_bg.png?widt...eight=1500]

Research Team, '\S/' Arcturus-II
Research Expedition Report on HFBC-JDC cruisers within the Vespucci
Report was compiled on 16/ 12 / 833AS


As far as missions go, this was a different one. We in our organization rarely take up the scanning of ships, human made structures or wrecks. But as this was seen as a growing and learning opportunity we did it non the less. Will keep this short, journey was uneventful, ship and crew performed as expected and there were no encounters along the way.

First HFBC-JDC we came upon was very heavily damaged, broken in half and drifting quite far apart. We found the command deck first, scans reveal a thorough fire has spread between most compartments, nothing to recover.

[Image: vCRWgN7.png]

Second half of the ship was leaking radiation very severely, but our shielding and enhanced hull is used to that. Propulsion systems have been destroyed, not much to scan besides overall design. Radioactivity levels suggest a mix of H-fuel and some active material, possibly uranium, have been used as the source of power.

[Image: xkPyVR6.png]


Second HFBC-JDC ship was nearby in a very similar situation. On this example we noticed the bulkhead doors for the engine and fuel compartments had done their job and no radiation was leaking. Besides this and the possibility that some equipment could be salvaged from within, ship was scorched badly and most outer layers unusable.

[Image: 1sdOjh6.png]
[Image: pe6eAEn.png]


Third ship was found still in drydock of the now destroyed Fort Leniex. This one was in good shape, all still holding together. Scans show most systems fried but the ship hasn't been under heavy fire. Scans also show large and quite advanced centrifugal power distributor in the centre of the ship. Possibly used to redistribute and draw power from redundant systems. A large gravity field generator is nested nearby suggesting a full gravity on board, maybe even used as a tractor beam.

[Image: FcreSLm.png]
[Image: KSwtA8w.png]


Last but not least was found drifting near a Gaian installation. We landed to do a meet and greet and had a conversation with the stations Captain. This one was off limits for us to scan thoroughly but they agreed for us to take some overall scans to see how badly damaged at least the outer shells are. Still in one piece but seen some heavy fire and disabled. As the captain explained they had taken over it after the crew abandoned ship leaving it under self destruct sequence, that hadn't work. If an agreement can be reached with the current owners, this one might be the easiest to work on and get full scans and schematics even from within.

[Image: nBefTnS.png]
[Image: o8EizUa.png]



This concludes our report on the HFBC-JDC "Judicator" class cruisers. All scan data will be attached to this report in RAW data files for the recipient to analyze themselves and extract whatever information they require.

Captain and crew of '\S/' Arcturus-II, signing off.


Expedition: Unknown Planet I, Uncharted 10 System - TheKusari - 12-19-2023



[Image: starfliers_logo_ship_only_no_bg.png?widt...eight=1500]

Research Team, '\S/'Arcturus
Research Expedition Report on Unknown Planet I within the Uncharted 10 System
Report was compiled on 19 / 12 / 833AS


I cannot believe that we have uncharted sectors to analyze and research! Halpert has done quite the job to compile these cartography reports for us. With our recent communication with the Artificial Intelligence unit called Unit-9467F, we have the means of taking on their request to find a barren isolated world with sub-zero temperatures. Reading over Halpert's report, I have located one such candidate for this unit's request. The planet marked as Unknown Planet I within the system known as Uncharted 10. Unsure why it's designation is 10, as we have not recorded any more then three systems within Earhart as of yet. The '\S/'Velorum managed to generate a rift into Earhart where we discovered that the Uncharted system we needed to enter had an opening available for us to use. We took the Arcturus in and travelled to Bravo 5 where we saw the planet in question.


[Image: c8msuIO.png]


Superficial scans of this world meet the criteria of the Unit. We sat in place for quite a few hours, as no one or nothing had the chance to disturb us. The planet itself reached a high of about 10 degrees celsius, during the section of it's orbit closest to the sun. On the far end, it was recorded to be -285 degrees. Much colder than any human could survive in. I am unsure about the conditions needed for this AI species to survive. There is some doubt among my crew that this is sufficient. We will know only when this report is submitted to Unit-9467F.

There are pockets of craters scattered upon the surface. Being placed between two ice fields, it is reasonable to assume a handful of ice formations had been dragged into the planet's gravitational field and presumably made contact with the surface rather than having it's orbital pathway stabilize. The impact sites on the surface, at least on the side of the planet facing the sun, matched the shape and size present in the asteroids within these surrounding ice fields. May pose a danger to any being living on the surface. Best to include this rather than not, as it's a potential hazard for anything on the surface.

Lastly, as no other ship larger than our "Corvo"-Class vessel can enter this system, we are unable to take an expeditionary team close to the surface for a closer observational analysis. From what we can see, through the clear atmosphere, is that the surface itself is quite unforgiving. Shattered ice shards in combination with mountainous terrain would make any surface expedition impossible. Even if a team could clear an area for surface-based research, they could only last 3 hours before the the team retreats due to the temperature drop.


Expedition: Planet Hodge & Podge, Baffin System - TheKusari - 02-12-2024



[Image: PVArGCT.png]

Research Team, '\S/'Arcturus
Research Expedition Report on Planet Hodge and Planet Podge within the Baffin System
Report was compiled on 12 / 02 / 834AS


Searching for iced-over planets remains to be difficult. Too much time has been spent scouring records on the neural net, should have looked through our own archive earlier than I did. In our cartography history I encountered a report showing us what Baffin looked like a few years ago. To my surprise, Planet Hodge and Planet Podge remain in the same self-destructive orbit we had discovered them in. I flew the Arcturus out to the Baffin System from Inverness to get a better look at these two stellar bodies. Upon my arrival to the southern sectors of Baffin, our sensors were tuned to the analyze these planets. We had to keep our distance as the two were in rapid orbit of one another.


[Image: qlRRIM9.png]


One of the first things we noticed within the Chao Field is that the area is extremely cold. Enough so to feel it through the ships internal walls, as if the temperature is bleeding in from the outside. The fragments scattered around the sector have come from the dual planets. Considering the sheer number of small pieces making up the field, it's plausible to hypothesize that the field itself is some kind of shield against the Red Dwarf's rays of sunlight. Realigning one of our suites to face the sun, we were not able to detect massive amounts of direct light. This would mean that as soon as the light enters the field, it's scattered and refracted across the quantity of fragments. Illuminating the area, whilst at the same time allowing everything to remain on the colder side. As not enough sunlight hitting a focused area could melt any of the particles here, the Chao Field does serve as a very effective natural shield against any form of light.

Planet Hodge and Podge remain a mystery. My team and I are unable to determine how these two bodies became tied together in this self-destructive orbit, the most we can determine about their orbit that it's delicate and any sort of disturbance to either's orbital path may result in the area becoming more hazardous to fly through. If Unit-9467F could somehow create a home within one or both of these planets and try to calm down the orbital hazard, from a distance, it would seem like a usual day in Baffin. This is something my team and I are unable to assist with. The sensors placed on the dark sides of Hodge and Podge reveal that the temperatures reach just shy of negative 200*C. This is further reinforced by the Chao Field and Proximity of another similarly frozen planet.

The information gathered on this area and the two planets is suitable to forward to the AI unit. Leon has forwarded a location within Gallia that I should check out. Being within House space is something that doesn't line up with what the Unit is after, I will still investigate this planet as I rarely get to experience the beautiful sights of Gallia.
