A few days ago I'd heard rumours from one of my contacts on Freeport 11 about a Core base deep in the Palau Ice Cloud near that ol' Azurite Reactor. My investigation turned up not just one, but two Core outposts deep within the field. They're located in the center of F2 and look like formidable targets.
I also encountered another installation which was identified as the "Lichtenfelde Complex" near the mining beacon. I'm sure it isn't a Core station, but I'm not sure what it is. If Overwatch isn't aware of its existence I got some preliminary data on it. Perhaps our guys in the Science Division can make better sense of it because it looks like gibberish to me.
I also did I a check on the Naru Defence Platform. My scans showed that it has already taken considerable damage or degradation. It could be an easier target than the two bases deep in Palau and its destruction would make it easier for us to harass any Core and AP Manufacturing shipping in the region. I believe that the Core are building these bases in Delta to cement their claims to the system and in my opinion it would be a disaster for us if they were able to secure Delta. It would give them a back way into the Nomad Worlds and would allow them to supply their Capetown Station on our doorstep unhindered.
Finally I did find one other base practically rubbing on the "west" outer side of the Azurite Reactor identified as "Zoner.Whale". It seems to be degraded and damaged to the point where a critical hull integrity failure could happen literally any day from now. Docking locks are still functional though, I couldn't access the station itself.
I hope this data is useful, I've attached some visual images from my guncams and forwarded the data onto our Science Division.
