Project Winter
This project entails the cryo-terraformation of the target world, Planet Saarbrucken, in the Cologne Sector of Rheinland. The purpose of this study is to further knowledge on cooling techniques to adapt planets to our optimal habitable temperature, which is slightly lower than the average habitable zone of 0-100'C. Thus, the aims of the studies will be to find cost effective ways of global cooling and ozone restoration, particularly with the assistance of using the newly discovered cryo-organisms dubbed as the 'Rain Makers' from the uncharted, including the Omicron samples OM-B-70075 'Cryo-organism'. Additionally, the abundance of Ice within the Independent Worlds is expected to be reused for the project for planetary revitalization.
The outcome of the project is dependant upon the response of the Rheinland Government for further permission, grants and licenses, meaning the target world may be swapped. Before initiation of conversion, another world must be marked for experimentation in methods and studies as a safe bed for future ecological modification to worlds.
Caution is noted upon this project to all scientists, reckless terraforming methods will destroy native fauna and ecosystems of worlds. Recommendation of using barren worlds or decaying worlds to avoid destruction of potential scientific sites.
Additional surveys forwarded. Worlds in near vicinity have been marked and analysed. Expedition Forces have analysed the neighbouring bodies for suitability based upon distance and feasibility. The report initiates with a standard expeditionary flight across the Inverness Sector then into the Vespucci Sector.
Delegate 3242 has deduced the first specimen Planet Forres within the Inverness as a suitable candidate, with the specifications of the Planet fitting to the posting. No fauna or local wildlife has been detected through initial scans. Terrain of the world appears to be terrestrial with rapidly declining oceans from global warming.
Secondary analysis concluded that Planet Wichita in Kansas is undeemable as a subject specimen due to the high presence of foreign activity and local wildlife. The terrain of the world is mostly composed of oceans, deeming an issue to the process of seeding worlds with heavy ice.
Tertiary location concluded that the barren lava world Chisos within the Texas sector is acceptable for small scale experimental parameters. The drastic temperatures and proximity to the star can provide valuable insight to the experimentation process, due to the smaller size of the target world and lack of value in the world. A minor budge to determine the success or failure of cryo-adapation under pressure against volcanic elements would provide insight without destruction of desirable traits in a world. Repurcussions of failure, miscalculation or unexpected results would be negligible, beyond expenditure.
Subsidiary orders revealed that no unusual energy traces were detected upon the worlds, failing to meet the criteria for exotic worlds of Technocrat interests.
Expeditionary Unit 3242 reporting in more data. Brief scoutings of the Coronado Sector were initiated, surveying the moons of Salina and other potential candidates.
First subject of the Sector is Planet Baja, meeting the criteria as a barren world, but lacks a sufficient atmosphere. Although the abundance of minerals is noted, the Planet is ultimately deemed unworthy for the cryo-terraformation project. In addition, the proximity to the Natio facility would potentially pose a problem.
Secondary subjects are the moon subjects known as Draibi and Socorro. Both objects meet the criteria of barren, but Draibi possesses a minimal atmosphere, in addition to noxious gasses and on-going plate movement, rendering it unsuitable for the project. Socorro, however, has an atmosphere persisting of carbon-dioxide and argon. Although volcanic activity is more prevalent on the moon, it may be a suitable candidate for experimentation on stabilizing the tetonic plates. Proximity to the local forces should be noted, particularly the looming guards over Jericho. Although the defensive area has no direct scan vector of the World, impeded by the environment, it may be prudent to utilize the Miners Guild towns upon the frozen moon, Pecos.
Verification of conscription; Military Arm Unit 2118 conscripted civilian "Alicia White" - Freelancer Eagle Class Fighter - to survey Bretonian Worlds. Two specimens have been found deemable. Data has been forwarded.
Verification of this data reveals that Lyndhurst is potentially unsuitable as a candidate due to the low presence of an atmosphere. Cork is deemed suitable as a candidate, however, the nearby influence of the Mollys will factor into utilization. Atmospheric and gravitational readings are nominal, nothing substantially unusual regarding the specifications. No fauna has been detected upon these worlds, though Cork may need to be re-analysed for lifeforms.
Science Vessel Artemis has been deployed and relocated to the upper atmosphere of Forres. Expedition Team Lotus has been formed for the duration of this mission. Expedition and Science teams have been directed to locate several sites optimal for the geo-analyst beacons. These survey devices will be placed at every designated "edge" of the world for maximum coverage. Up to 12 locations have been calculated to form a 'globe' for observation of weather patterns and other geological anomalies.
A Vulture has been deployed to survey the surface of the landscape with infrared scanning equipment to verify integrity of the continents and to survey for potential hazards. Requests for additional security has been sent out to the Military Arm in the event of unauthorised personnel upon the World.
Prelimary entry has initiated. Team Lotus is inbound to secure the LZ, as additionals from Military Arm are to be delayed. Vulture unit reports in successful landing at the site and awaits further orders on stand-by. No activity presence at current coordinates, however some life signs were detected within the northern pole of the globe, potentially a freelance camp. Further results from the Unit has returned that temperatures are higher than normal due to orbital eccentricity interpolation, resulting in a season of heat and subsequent humidity from water evaporation. Expeditions past the "Climate Border" will be required to utilize hazardous environmental suits for additional protection from the heat.
Rules of Engagement have not been established. Teams are defaulting to defensive engagements. Teams estimated time of arrival: One day. Request for additional supplies sent out due to unexpected weather patterns.
