OSC| Internal Comms - Printable Version

After the invitation of Lord Commander Samuel Locklear , a survey team led by the OSC|Wandering Ellegance and accompanied by David Chesterton and Peter Simpson set off to meet representatives of the Hellfire Legion and the Commonwealth of House Liberty, namely Lord Commander Samual Locklear , Fleet Captain Lennard Westbrook and Star Colonel Jordan Lancaster, in order to conduct a survey of the Commomwealth controled areas in hopes of finding a site where future Spa & Cruise operations could be maintained.

The following is a surmary of the data collected on every possible site and location, pointing out possibilities, pros and cons:

Data log #1: Humbolt System

While being a double-star system, Humbolt holds little to no safety to anyone not armed well enough. The only planet in the system is Planet Bora Bora, an uninhabited rocky planet. Mining operations on and around it are present by multiple parties, therefore extended industrial traffic is possible. Also, security is hard to maintain, as no friendly station or stationary vessel is nearby, however both Junkers and Rogues are present in the area.
Further more, jumphole connections to Humbolt apear to be very unstable, which can cause countless issues.
The most concerning fact is Fortaleza Base which Lord Commander Locklear also mentioned as being a base of operation for pirate raids against mining operations on a regular basis. Regardles, regular scan of Planet Bora Bora was conducted:

Planet Bora Bora

A fully rock and desert covered planet on the wester part of the Humbolt system, uninhabited, minor mining operations are frequent, however it does not have anything to offer in regards of tourism.

The area around the planet is clear of any large obsticles,however any sort of supllies would need to be transported from far, as no friendly installation is available nearby. The view offered planetside isn't much to talk about. Jumphole connecions are also poor to the planet, as the only close-by connections around are towards Kansas or Puerto Rico, which continue to build up issues against starting an operation in the area.

Data log #2: Kansas System

A system not really crowded, Kansas has little traffic, mostly miners and movers flying towards Humbolt. Pirate activity is also low to none in the area, even though the system is directly connected with Humbolt ( with an instable jumphole ) and Magellan. The second gives a good option to set supply routes up, alhough asteroid fields can give supply convoys a hard time travelling through. Still, the scenery is deffinately one that can be to draw the attention of tourists of higher wealth as well, opening up multiple options on how to build a Spa and Cruise operation up. Security can still be an issue, as not even Hellfire Legion patrols are a regular yet, however, according to information given from the Lord Commander, this is a thing to change soon.
Surveys were concluded around two planet gropus, as both planets have a moon orbiting. However, with all the pros, there is one thing that gives many concers, which is a massive dark matter cloud located on the northwest area of the system, which is also a restricted area for Hellfire Legion, which means there is a good reason to be careful.

Planet Wichita

The planet is covered by a huge ocean with only a few larger islands, it is yet to be colonized, as there are little to no resources that could be used, making the idea non cost efficient. However, it has everthing else that could be needed for an operation to take place. Wichita is also orbited by a small icy moon with little to no interest nor capability for anything useful. The planet is far away from the previously mentioned dark matter cloud, givng a certain ammount of safety, it is also close to the system exit towards Magellan, making accessability good. However, according to information provided by the Hellfire Legion, unusual events went off planetside, which can turn out either way, bringing people towards or scaring them away.
All together, this is a site which can serve and a possible location for Orbital Spa & Cruise.

Planet Topeka

A massive gas giant located neat the center of the system, next to one of the two start, never been surveyed planetside, most probably due to the fact that little is known about the planet. Its rings are a wonderful view, could be an absolute tourist location. System exit to Magellan is not much away than from Wichita, however a massive asteroid field is in the way, making supply flights difficult. Further more, the planet is uncomfortingly close to the before mentioned dark matter cloud and while not knowing much about that area, it is deffinately not something to go easy with. Due to holding too many unpredictable possibilities, the area is most probably not the best site for any operations at the moment, once further system survey can be conducted and heavier security installations be deployed, a revision may take place.

Data log #3: Vespucci System

The home system of theHellfire Legion and the capital of the Commonwealth of House Liberty, Vespucci is well protected and its infrastructure is very good. Apart from trade lanes, everything is in reach in regards of supplies and hostile ( pirate ) activity is zero. While the only exi from the system is towards MAgellan, as the Humbolt conection seems to be unstable, this limits the possibilities, however the rest seems to compensate for it. There are two planets which were worth for a survey in the area that is open to public traffic, the reast are for Hellfire legion only, however, since there are asteroid fields and gas clouds in the restricted area, it doesn't have anything for Orbital Spa and Cruise anyways.

Planet Iridescencia

A volcanic planet, with a non-breathable athomosphere, Planet Iridescencia is on the edge of the public part of Vespucci. While being close to the Humbolt jumphole, Hellfire patrols and stationary weapon platforms are protecting the area. Since the planet surface is not fit for any planetside operation, the view from orbit is deffinately one to see. Even though supply routes can be lengthy due to a small portion of an asteriod field being between the planet and the Magellan jumphole, however, with a small detour, it can be easily avoided. With being in the hearth of the Commonwealth, it can be a possible site of a further Orbital Spa and Cruise operation.

Planet Guadalajara

The crown gem of the Commonwealth , Planet Guadalajara is the soon to be capital planet ofthe Commonwealth of Liberty. The planet is very similar to any of the inhabited planets of Sirius, yet at the same time, totally different. Its surface is covered with a mixture of hot deserts, wet jungles, ice cold mountain ranges and virtually every other type of terrain found on other planets. Limited terraforming and infrastructure constructions are already underway, which can turn the planet into a commercial and touristical center very soon. Being close to the Magellan jumphole, which is protectedby Hellfire Legion warships, security is not a problem, while supplies can easily bemovet from and to the planet. So far, this is the most possible candidate for a future Touristica operation, due to the rich resources the planet has to offer.

After surmarizing all the data, and if requested, R&D department is ready to submit a possible plan of deployment for a - for the start, temporary - operation in cooperation with the Hellfire Legion and the Commonwealth of House Liberty. In case such is requested, please inform R&D Department at the eariest possible.

At this time, I would like to point the fact out, which shows how serious the Hellfire Legion and the Commonwealth intntions are, that the three highest ranking officers of the Legion were the ones guiding us around their systems, giving us lots of information on how the Legion and the Commonwealth was founded, how they operate and what their plans are for the future. I personally belive this could be an equally profitable cooperation for both sides, and could open up further possibilities.
