Discovery:
Stellar Body
Planet Topeka
Delta/Echo - 2
Comments:
A lovely tourquiore gas giant with a light ring composed of water deposits. Presense of teal/tourquiore indicates light diffractions of water(as evident via the rings), methane and likely a mix of ammonia.
Estimates would place average temperatures at -123C

Discovery:
Stellar Body
Planet Wichita
Charlie - 5
Comments:
A potentially colonizable world, if the given challenges of its moon be overcome. Records show week-long periods of tidal surges flooding over swathes of islands at a time.
. .
Discovery:
Stellar Body
Olathe
Delta - 1
Comments:
Orbits Planet Topeka
Currently the Ice Moon of Planet Topeka. Previous designation was a planetary system complete with moons.
These moons were eventually succumds to the system's tidal forces. Fragments both falling into Topeka (perhaps explaining it relatively high core-mass given standard formation of Gas Giants), and forming Topeka's Ice Rings.

Discovery:
Stellar Body
Colby
Charlie - 6
Comments:
Orbits Planet Wichita
Representing 41% of it's planets mass, this moon demonstrates considerable tidal forces against Planet Wichita.

Discovery:
Stellar Body
Medium Green Sun
Delta - 4
Comments:
Type F4 size and luminosity
. .
Discovery:
Stellar Body
Medium Blue Sun
Solar Center - Delta/Echo - 4/5
Comments:
Type F4 size and luminosity. Close enough to its sister this could classify as a binary system. Could exacerbate the already instable orbits of Topeka and Olathe.
. .
Discovery:
Wreck
Junction Wreck
Alpha/Beta - 1/2
Comments:
A wreck of a moderately sized station. Registry notes no known owner, no known faction. Only that is was built before Liberty explorer ever mapped the system.
Meaning this existed before the Liberty vs. Insurgency conflict.

Discovery:
Wreck
Fremantle Base w/ "Jacks"
Alpha - 4/5
Comments:
Base: Fremantle Character's comment of the solar
Ships: Humble Bee, Nugget, Old Rascal
Scans on unencrypted transmitter still shows a signal.
Bio-Sphere shows signs of greenery still. It is unclear if the vegatation is merely flash-frozen when exposed to vacuum
However, the resistance to unshielded solar radition is notable and may warrant further study.

Discovery:
Installation
Communication Satalite
Delta - 1/2
Comments:
Unknown creator and manufactuer in close proxity to the Mulvane Wreck. Still in-transmission. Undamaged.
. .
Discovery:
Wreck
Farrow
Charlie - 1
Comments:
Liberty Navy Defener who made an escape from pirates. Went through a Jump Hole from Magellan, but was unable to find their way back to base.
. .
Discovery:
Wreck
Fancy
Echo - 5
Comments:
Traitor to the "Jacks". Their boat was welded into the rock free floating within the Sun's Gravity Well. Evidence of melted rock, and blast fragments
A mining array is seen bolted onto one of the wings of the vessel.
. .
Discovery:
Baxter-Class Anomaly
Collapsed Jump Hole
Foxtrot/Golf- 6
Comments:
Previously connecting Kansas to Texas. Likely in relative stablility prior to the Texas Incident of 500. Hmm...the dark matter radition isn't as high here in Kansas as it is at the Texas epicenter.
I wonder if it's possible to perform a study and retrospective given the evidence on this 'other' side of the hole in relative safety. Must discuss further...

Discovery:
Wreck
Jamaica
Golf- 5/6
Comments:
Wreck of the Jamaica. Manifest notes synthetics marijuana destined to Humboldt.
. .
Discovery:
Wreck
Pirate Transport
Foxtrot- 4
Comments:
Modded for heavier armor. Remnants of the "Jacks" presense in this system.
Perhaps used to move heavy mining equipment or explosives based off of circumstantial evidence via "Fancy".
These pockets seem to deteriorate matter and space at the same time. Much like the affects of an event horizon where an object's descent seems to slow to nothing; so too does this field increase the 'resistance' of transitioning through space. Once the horizon is crossed, catastophic damage is immediate.
One of the fabled ancient alien gates. Structure shows significant damage, and misallignment.
Hypothesis: Massive collision when one of the ancient moons of Olathe broke up into Topeka. Dispite the visible damage, it still holds perfect stability.
An...anomoly. It shifts..aware of me? No harm taken, no harm given, I feel. Not organic like the Nomads, but...effervescent and fluid. This...entity, a guide? A guardian, a sentinal? No movements made, but it feels free for me to pass the vessel around it. Its...content, its...Neutral...
