Research Expedition Report on Derelict Colony Shipwreck within the Omicron Zeta
Report was compiled on 20 / 03 / 834AS

Albert does it again. Not throwing blame, we all need to do our part, but sending us to far reaches of the Omicrons, that's new even for him. This time me and my crew had the target of an old colony ship, Zoner by the preliminary looks of it, really far out in the Omicron Zeta system. We rarely venture so far as those systems are know to be full of squids and we prefer to steer clear, with us not really being able to defend from entities not capable to reason with. First part of our journey out to Delta and Freeport 11 was calm and known to us, we have done that trip quite a few times. hauled a bit of copper to pay for some extra gear we might need, you never know. Last leg was a bit more intense, as it takes you through Tokelau Ice field, known to be patrolled by squids and sometimes even the infected. Met a few of them, but our shields are strong and engines powerful enough to outrun most foes. Zeta thankfully was quite and following the information provided by Albert we found the ship where it was supposed to be.

Our guess was correct, this really was a ruined Zoner colony ship. A truly rare sight to see one of these as they are sent out to only the remote places where colony or freeport building will take a long time and is otherwise unreachable. Greatest interest for us is the hydroponic domes, as they are very rare and well guarded tech by the Zoners. We intend to study and replicate the technology to the best of our capabilities, to integrate it into our base and make it a self sustainable as possible. We have approached the Zoners a few times to negotiate for this tech, with no luck as it is their most guarded secret. But these small scale domes that are fitted to a ship, is exactly what we are looking for. Small, compact and enough to sustain a small group without much extra production. Now the trek back, we'll probably restock on Freeport 11 before heading to SRC to study these new plans in great detail. Hopefully this will put us on the track towards complete independence.
