On 13.01.821 the IMG initiated its first move into the Omega 9 system.
The snubcraft scout wing, lead by myself, consisting of three fighters, a bomber and a freighter equipped with long-range scan arrays as well as jump hole testing equipment departed from Aland Shipyard to the newly discovered Omega 9 JH in the Rugen Ice Cloud, Omega-3.
After a short search at the edge of the planetary accretion field, located closes around the sun, two bases were located: Cameron Solar Port and Freeport 101, the station we pushed to communicate with.
The necessary preperations were made to establish a temporary route from Falster to FP101, allowing IMG to launch an operation aimed at supporting the newly built base. The Logistics department's report on this will cover the details of that particular operation.
System Map:
Now follows our current map of Omega-9, based on the scout wings discoveries and knowledge of the base owners.
Zone 1 "Green Zone": Omega-3 Jumphole, Omega-7 Jumphole, Freeport 101 (B), asteroid field a2
Zone 2 "Yellow Zone": Omega-11 Jumphole, asteroid field a3
Zone 3 "Red Zone": Omega-5 Jumphole, Omega-55 Jumphole, Cameron Solar Port (A), asteroid fields a1 and a4, Sun
Zone 1 is currently the IMG's area of interest, as it contains both JHs connecting us to systems we have holdings in, and Freeport 101. Furthermore the asteroid field a2 (and any others for that matter) might contain minerals or other valuables IMG could take an advantage of. Further testing is required. Zone 2 is not interesting for the IMG at this moment, unless a1-4 show traces of mineables. The connection to Omega-11 is stable, but leads to a desolate part of the system. Zone 3 contains JHs to hostile Omega systems and is therefore advised off-limits to IMG vessels, with the exception of Cameron Solar Port, which is operated by an unaffiliated group of people. This base is viable as fallback point for convoys attacked on their way from the Omega-3 JH.
Jumphole Stability:
All jumpholes in the Green Zone are between 78-91% stable (Omega-3: 86-98%, Omega-7: 67-85%), the Red and Yellow Zone have not been analysed beyond mapping and the possibility of hostile attacks. This means we should be able to utilize these JHs without taking big risks to lose ships in the process.
Political Situation:
The Omega-9 system, as a whole, contains a considerable amount of pirate activity, Corsairs and Hessians, as well as signs of Kruger expiditions and a number of unknown contacts, presumably hostile.
As for now, the owners of FP101 have shown to be friendly and cooperative and it is advised to further invest into these relations in order to set foot to O9.
