Project Dallas

At the turn of the century, in 500AS, the Texas incident. Valhalla Research scientists aboard the Dallas had begun the second phase of testing a new '€œHyper-gate. '€œ A new, long-range jump gate. Although the project's goal was unclear, that would have allowed travel beyond the confines of the Sirius Sector and could have potentially opened the entire galaxy for exploration. The gate'€™s path, however, was obstructed by an undetected Dark Matter cloud - and when it was activated, the gate backfired and sucked the dark matter through, causing an explosion with the force of 10 nuclear bombs, annihilating the Dallas and expelling massive amounts of Dark Matter and radioactivity into the system. A quarantine was immediately erected across half the system -- not for security, this time, but for the safety of anyone foolish enough to stray into the dangerous morass. Half the system was uninhabitable, and the Dallas and the Jump gate remains sunk into the singularity at the edge of the Texas. Leaving two massive dark matter clouds (Pequena Negra and Grande Negra, Spanish/Portuguese for Little Black and Large Black, respectively), where scanner function is reduced to zero and where radiation levels are so high they will destroy even the best ships within seconds and are, ironically, the most memorable landmark in the system; and the West Dallas Debris Field, the apparent remains of the malfunctioned Jump Gate. The system was promptly abandoned by the elite clientele, leaving the system remote. Years later, the system was converted into a prison by the government, with planet-side prisons on Houston and orbital prison stations aboard Huntsville and Sugarland. It can be inferred that the Jump Hole to California in the West Dallas Debris Field was a result of the Incident.

Expected Outcomes:

• A noted reduction in Radiation in Texas, with the ultimate goal of entire removal of Radiation and Scrap Metal in Texas.
  

Possible complications:

• An increase in Piracy in the area: An escort wing will need to be assigned to this project and active when the barge is deployed. If the escort wing is unavailable, DSE) will require reliable hired security.
  

Docking rights:

• DSE) will need to insure there is a docking/mooring point available to handle a ship of the barges size, although it will be used as a mobile refinery, docking/mooring will be required for repairs.

Project Hope

DSE) will fund and support a new rehabilitation center based on Planet Pittsburgh, primarily to support people rescued from slavery. The United Hope foundation will provide medical examinations and treatment where needed, meals, accommodation, clothing, life support to get the client back into the community, as well as re-connecting the people with their families in both a secure rehabilitation facility and a more independent respite environment. United Hope Foundation Will strive to find jobs to suit every client when they are medically cleared - if that is not possible, DSE) will ensure the client is financially supported on a government benefit before giving the client the option of either going back to their families, or to a new home.

Expected Outcomes:

• Relocate and rehabilitate slaves from across Sirius: Provide job training, and assistance in finding accommodation for refugees to start their new lives in Liberty.
  

Possible Complications:

• Slave movement from Pittsburgh: Slavers removing persons from planet Pittsburgh for alternative means of work, records of persons arriving and leaving Pittsburgh will need to be kept.
  
  
• Over crowding may result from upgrades and expansions while the buildings are being expanded: To be dealt with on a case by case basis.
  
  
• Rescued persons may not wish to work and stay in temporary accommodation long term causing over crowding: To be dealt with on a case by case basis
  

Docking rights:

• DSE) vessels involved in the project will have access to the new docking facilities on the south side of the planet.

Project: Rehabilitate

DSE) will fund and upgrade the current refugee centers on planet Pittsburgh to increase capacity and allow for a larger number of refugees to be catered for at once. Deep Space Engineering will provide medical examinations and treatment where needed, meals, accommodation, clothing, life support to get the client back into the community, as well as re-connecting the people with their families in both a secure rehabilitation facility and a more independent respite environment. If a job is not available, or under medical reasons an individual is not able to work, Deep Space Engineering will assist in getting the individual onto a government funded benefit before the individual is given the opportunity to return to their family, or start a new life in Liberty.

Expected Outcomes:

• Relocate and re-home refugees from planet Leeds, Leeds: Provide job training, and assistance in finding accommodation for refugees to start their new lives in Liberty.
  

Possible Complications:

• Slave movement from Pittsburgh: Slavers removing persons from planet Pittsburgh for alternative means of work, records of persons arriving and leaving Pittsburgh will need to be kept.
  
  
• Over crowding may result from upgrades and expansions while the buildings are being expanded: To be dealt with on a case by case basis.
  
  
• Refugees may not wish to work and stay in temporary accommodation long term causing over crowding: To be dealt with on a case by case basis
  

Docking rights:

• DSE) vessels involved in the project will have access to the new docking facilities on the East side of the planet.

Cold lake Project (Supergate Mk.II)

DSE) will construct an experimental supergate and with assorted large corporations within Sirius it will become the largest leap in technology since trade lane construction began. Staff within Deep Space Engineering are dubious and are fearful it will become another 'Dallas Incident', but despite it still being in early stages Jess and John Doe along with the great minds of the engineering and research departments are confident this will not be the case. There is not much information available on this project as it is still considered 'highly classified'

Expected Outcomes:

• Successfully allow jumping over multiple systems rather then one at a time
  
  
  
• No further information has been released
