Buonasera,
that was a bit of a blast, following from my last transmission, "unknown jump hole in Texas" I can confirm I am still alive.
On traversing the hole I was dumped out in the middle of nowhere and ended up having to execute a standard box pattern exploration. Thankfully I was methodical and could orientate myself which proved useful as the jumphole disappeared not long after my exit. As surmised, from vessels exiting in Texas, the jump hole did lead to other parts of Sirius, in particular it turns out Omicron Delta. Although we had a vague knowledge of these systems a good exploration could only add to our datbase. Below is the results of my system excursion showing a number of interesting features, including three planets and four jumpholes.
Primarily, as visible from the many wrecks, it is a very hostile area with a large number of Core vessels who tend to shoot first. Thankfully there were also a good smattering of Order ships who were at least willing to give directions. However most troublesome is the large number of alien Nomad ships of various types hell bent on exterminating my ship. Thankfully the maneuverability of the Stargazer was useful.
From the above map we can see a number of interesting features, some human some not. There is a heavy concentration of Core presence in the South East quadrant including at least one Battleship. Somewhat balance in the South West with and Order station and Battleship presence. Throughout the area are many wrecks, some with interesting finds that will at present remain undisclosed.
In a central position is one of the Freeports, Freeport 11, however the hostilities in the area has forced the Zoners to position 3 Battleships, The Protectinator, The Guardian and The Defender, in close proximity, they were not keen on letting me utilise the Freeport facilities.
These however were not the highlights of the exploration, two highly hostile facilities were found in the norther asteroid field. One was human in construction, returned a standard docking flag designating it as the Lichtenfelde Complex but it seemed to be no longer human well armed and swarming with Nomad vessels,
whilst the oddest find was something unknown and probably alien in origin.
I have no idea what this was, again heavily armed and with Nomads everywhere. Whilst the Stargazer is fleet of foot it is not a vessel you can spend a long time in when in these sorts of hostile zones. Currently my hold is nearly full with salvaged materials and I am following information to a planet that should be able to furnish something a little more substantial for this environment. As the neural net is functioning I will report when I land and hopefully carried out a little more in the way of fact finding. If there are any special instructions please drop in my ascribed neural net repository, I will peruse at the next opportune point in my itinerary.
Arrivederci, off to source a more robust ship Maria Freudenstein
