Fleet Commander Voss and I departed from the Ravager, after having a discussion about our lack of knowledge on the surrounding areas since.. Well, you know. We begun flying through Vespucci towards the entrance to Humboldt. Once through, we began mapping the system and scanning for any changes. Uploading full report:
HUMBOLDT - BORDER SYSTEM - REPORT
Humboldt is just as barren as it has ever been. The system is a back door in to our home, so obviously we need to keep a keen eye on traffic in the area. Humboldt is also a system rich with mineral resources that we could easily tap in to. Though, there are some obstacles in our way.
CAREIRO ASTEROID FIELD - HUMBOLDT
It appears that some locals have constructed what appears to be a fortress in the center of the Careiro field. Specifically, the mining zone. The station is incredibly hostile, and well armed. Patrols are advised to avoid the station at all costs. Mineral scans show that there is still a large deposit of Silver available in the field, and operations will be planned for extracting said resources.
TEFE ASTEROID FIELD - HUMBOLDT
The Tefe field still has large traces of Copper available, and can easily be extracted. Very little activity detected in this field.
PLANET BORA BORA - HUMBOLDT
This planet is in close proximity to the Tefe Asteroid field. It is a remarkably useless planet. No resources detected, and no atmosphere. No further survey needed.
MANAUS ASTEROID FIELD - HUMBOLDT
[ Visual uploading...]
Fortaleza remains present with little to no traffic within this field. A high presence of Rogues, which could be trouble. Though, on our fly-by, there was no traffic present, or response team. It's possible the station is no longer in use and relying on automated defenses. The field it's self has no resources present.
HUMBOLDT REPORT COMPLETE.
Further investigation was done of the surrounding systems, but reports for Coronado, Cortez, Magellan, and Kansas are currently not prepared. Shield and Spatha units should prepare themselves, as an operation will be planned soon. Scythe units will be re-dispersed to Barrow base to maintain a presence in Southern Liberty.
