− | + | INITIAL SYSTEM SCAN | |
− | + | Central body is a red dwarf star. | |
− | + | Orbital I is a terrestrial planet, .5g. Remote scan indicates breathable quantities of oxygen. Temperatures are human-compatible over most of the planet's surface; cold weather gear advised. 2 moons, neither remarkable. | |
− | + | Orbital II is a black body, minimal heat signature, 500km across. Mass signature indicative of a hollow artificial structure. | |
− | + | Orbital III is a relatively conventional artificial space station less than 1km in its widest dimension. No power signatures detected. | |
− | + | Orbital IV is a system of 2 dwarf planets and 4 small unremarkable moons. IVa is low gravity, no atmosphere. IVb shows unexplained gravitational fluctuations, CO2 atmosphere. | |
− | + | Orbital V is a terrestrial world. High tectonic instability. Atmosphere is high in sodium, likely highly toxic and corrosive. Temperatures are too high for compatibility with human life. No moons. | |
− | + | Orbital VI is a system of two terrestrial planets and 5 unremarkable moons. Both medium gravity and CO2 based atmosphere. VIa appears mostly rocky; VIb shows signs of substantial water and likely organic life. | |
− | + | Orbital VII is a white dwarf star. | |

− | + | t's midnight ship's time when you reach the station. It's dead, as nearly as you can tell, and with your sensor package and Graham on sensors, you should know if it wasn't. The shielding is good enough that you can't get an in-depth picture of the interior, but if anything at all is still running on-board, it would have to be both low-power and deep in the interior. | |
The station itself is huge by the standards of modern construction, a fat disk slightly over 700 meters across, and two hundred meters through the center. It must have been one of the greatest construction projects in the history of whatever world built it, because the quality of engineering and hull material is otherwise less than the current state of the art in Nyx and the Reef. There are eight internal frigate bays evenly spaced around the edge of the disk, all currently sealed. The remains of heavy weapons pods on the central dorsal and ventral areas says that this was a military installation of some kind, or at least militarized. Something wrecked them pretty thoroughly, though. | The station itself is huge by the standards of modern construction, a fat disk slightly over 700 meters across, and two hundred meters through the center.
