Nebulae

Bermejo Cloud

The Bermejo Cloud is a medium-sized field composed mostly of water ice crystals, much of which is a fine snow-like dust. The high refractive nature of the ice is what provides the impressive and distinctive appearance of cloud from Freeport 10's viewing decks.

The Independent Mining Guild has attempted to survey the cloud for further resources, however there is a strong Outcast precence that has been frequently spotted entering and exiting the concealment of the cloud. This has so far discouraged further survey attempts.

Malvinas Cloud

The Malvinas Cloud is a field of asteroids and dust which never formed into a planetary body. The Independent Mining Guild has long since set up operations in the area due to the valuable ores detected within many of the larger asteroids. Outcast patrols can occasionally be seen entering the cloud in an attempt to score a quick payday from the miners.

Guiana Cloud

Long ago a small portion of the Bermejo cloud was split off from the main mass. Unexpectedly, a local gravitational anomaly caused the seperated section to form into its own roughly sphere shaped cloud. Dubbed the Guiana Cloud, the cloud's primary feature is its unique shape. Like the Bermejo Cloud it is highly refractive and difficult to navigate, yet ships can still occasionally be seen entering and exiting the diminutive cloud.

Asteroid Fields

Bermejo Debris Field

A vast debris field stretching from the Omicron Alpha Jump Hole to Freeport 10, consisting of the discarded remains and wreckage of refugee ships escaping the clutches of the Outcasts.

Torres Ice Crystal Field

The Torres Field is a small field of frozen water and oxygen crystals. Unlike the nearby Bermejo Cloud, the Torres field does not possess the same refractive or concealing properties. While it is obvious that there was once some force that caused this field to form without merging with Bermejo or Malvinas, these forces have long dissipated.

During the early construction phase of Freeport 10, Zoners would harvest the crystals of the field in order to maintain their life support systems. While no longer required to maintain life on the Freeport, the field is still considered to be an emergency resource by the Zoners.

Wrecks

Barossa - E-6/7

The Barossa was an Independent Mining Guild freighter attempting to transport Niobium out of Tau-37. The ship was attacked by Outcasts. While an IMG patrol managed to chase off the Outcasts, with its crew dead and engines damaged, the freighter drifted off into the cloud and was lost.

Contains:

• 2x Heavy Starbeam
• 4x Adv. Flashpoint Turret
• 5x Shield Battery
• 5x Nanobots

Barberry - E/D-6

A Cryer Pharmaceuticals escort fighter, piloted by Jake Thompson. Nearly every external component of Barberry is damaged or missing.

Contains:

• 10x Silencer CM Flare
• 20x Ablative Armor Plating
• 1x Side Arms

Griffin - E/D-2

The Griffin was a Bounty Hunter Vessel that was lost after the pilot, Jessica Stephenson, chased some Outcasts into the Bermejo Cloud. According to the Bounty Hunter's Guild, Jessica was known to have close ties with APM, the developers of the Bounty Hunter's shiplines.

Given her history, it is unknown why she would have been so far out in the Edgeworlds, especially as she had not accepted any bounty request at the time.

Contains:

• 1x DULZIAN

Il Fiocina - E-3

Most of the ship's cruise disruptor supply has been expended. System logs indicate outbound transmissions requesting backup. The hull bears the scorch marks of transport-class turrets, and the shield generator has been rendered inoperable.

Contains:

• 1x Cannonball Missile (Ammo)
• 3x Hornet Missile (Ammo)
• 10x Silencer CM Flare
• 20x Cardamine

Achlidon - E/F-3

The communication logs in the black box recorder show navigation requests from IMG ships.

Contains:

• 10x Silencer CM Flare
• 1x Side Arms

Thorax - E/F-3

The communication logs in the black box recorder show navigation requests from IMG ships.

Contains:

• 10x Silencer CM Flare
• 1x Side Arms

Antares - E/F-3

Antares bears no cargo manifests in its computer system, but its recording devices indicate it was last moored on Malta's surface. The telltale blisters of particle blasts spot its hull, and its engines and life support systems are completely destroyed.

The bodies aboard, though bloated and desiccated by vacuum exposure, distinctly seem to lack Outcast uniforms. Contains:

• 10x Sentinel CM Flare
• 20x Light Arms
• 20x Cardamine
• 20x Scrap Metal
• 10x Engine Components
• 10x Hull Panels

Siren - E/F-3

Freeport 10's launch records list Siren's last launch as a search and rescue mission. The hull is riddled with debris, and an umbilical connection hangs damaged and lifeless from the craft's cargo hold airlock.

Contains:

• 10x Sentinel CM Flare
• 1x Advanced Deep Scanner
• 10x Black Market Augments
• 20x Scrap Metal

Terracotta - D-2

Little remains of this vessel but its computer systems' logs.
