James Weatherly, Starfliers To: Civil Servant, The Platform CC: Administration, The Platform Subject: Escort Request Through Thuringia To whom it may concern: I am following up on a previous communications I had with Civil Servant, leader of the 'Damnatio Memoriae' Cell. In this communication, relevant section may be found linked below, an allowance was made for conditional returns to Thuringia provided a dedicated explorative escort. This allowance is what I would like to engage on. If you wish to return to the system, you may once you have arranged exploration escort with either the NWA or Platform. My availability may be cut short later on, so I hope you'd be happy to contact other NWB or Platform personnel to ensure you and your compatriots are escorted in the event any unwanted interruptions may happen or curiosities put you in unfavourable positions. I would like to request an escort through Thuringia . The objectiveof this escort will either be: A/ A stellar body/location of your choosing within Thuringia you would like the Starfliers to prepare a dedicated report on B/ Escort to Earhart through the Dimensional Gateway Payment of said escort services can either be a quote of Sirian Credits, I would ask you to provide, or a complimentary Research Expedition Report on a point of interest within Thuringia (see option A above). Please let me know your questions and considerations at your soonest convenience. As always, Godspeed

"Mr Weatherly, if the starfliers are entrusting you with the exploration of this Void then it seems we'll be frequenting communications with each other.

"Your access permissions to Thuringia would indeed require an escort as this region of space is notorious for missing pilots and unfortunate quarantine scenarios. Most importantly its best that we give you course of the lay of the land.

"As you've outlined your two main focuses within the systems beyond the dimensional rift within the gravestone of Gotha's core and one of our choosing within the system, we have made it appropriate that we can accommodate your teams on Tennstedt for escorted research detachments, I know is in pursuit for the understanding of this Earhart system and we in turn are looking to field that towards our learning of the Void. And with closer communications we can and co-operative deployments, this can hopefully be attained in the aid to those that are left behind.

"Now our choice of stellar body to be studied in Thuringia is tempting the dimensional rift itself, with what we have studied and the experiences w've had, we've come to the conclusion that this rift is not natural. Far from the Void's making yet powered by a ethereal construct that we have yet to understand... A fair warning that jump-space has never been so fragile as ever, the Void weeps from its wounds as the radiation and energy from such an otherworldly engine is likely the key to saving stellar stability.

"As you've probably explored some regions already I think its wise to outline a few zones that you unfortunately won't be able to explore unless told otherwise, but as a we're making a request for compliance, hopefully our gathered information on these restricted zones can be good in exchange. Further releases can come in due time once we further our work together.

Restricted Zones:

The Salzungegraben

This scrap field used to be a dark and unforgiving shroud on a hostile installation for the Wilde, it was destroyed by the MND completely by an experiment that vaporized anything organic within a 15K radius and left behind a radioactive waste field, residual energy readings show residue similar to MND and Daumann manufactured equipment yet shows signs of alien abnormality in scale and dispersion. The MND now patrol this area while they try to salvage the remains of their firing vessel and quarantine the area for any remnants of Wilde terrorists in the area.

The Hohenfeld

This is the MND's first line of obfuscation to the main operations here in this system. Hopefully I don't need to inform you too much that what is held within is the headquarters to MND operations ever since. Secrets are well kept in this system so if anyone has got something to hide, Theres no where better than a place riddled with tales of death.

I wouldn't recommend getting at least 10km of the region, we've noticed that communications are jammed quite quickly once they triangulate your ships position, trying to break in is hampered by layers of heavy ballistic mines that could rip your shields open and take your hull on a rapid non-repairable breaker service with you contained and all...

And if they catch you, they would have severely more questions than we do about your presence and detainment is usually marked with 'indefinite' on the non-existent arrest record. I suggest staying at least 15km from the perimeter of the Hohenfeld, you've got no reason to put yourself at risk with local agencies or to raise suspension with ourselves.

The Suhl anomaly

Potentially one of the most dangerous stellar anomalies within the Sirius sector and has yet to reach is climax of devastation, we've studied this cloud for some time and have so far outlined that its a highly inhospitable formation that has experienced periodically rapid growths at times of opportunity. Its baffled local forces for decades as its origins and age are unknown, its matter and behavior does not conform to other known natural stellar formations... Its something that should not be capable of existing yet has found a way to thrive off this rampant sub-space energy. We therefore have called it 'the corruption' in our cell.

One physical risk is the gravitational distortions without body of mass or emission points, fluctuations have exceptional variations within close proximity of each other and could simultaneously implode and explode your ship if caught within them. Electronic scanning equipment can't detect beyond its curtain perimeter so usually when your sensors start to spike, its likely already too late. Its expansion is linked to recent stellar events within Thuringia, as you've likely noticed the fabric of space here is fragile and prone to collapse. A recent experiment by local actors caused a sub-space shock that projected not just through normal-space but through the jump network across multiple systems. We've also noticed a correlation between collapsed jump holes and the Suhl anomaly as this corruption appears to feed of the harmful sub-space radiation which aids its expansion... But for now, its contained or at an impasse.

We suggest staying aggressively clear of this anomaly not just because of its environmental hazards but as a means of containment, it seems corruption harbors corruption and the local Wilde terrorist cell has fielded and rallied its most fanatical and vicious fighters here. Fake distress calls, cloaked ambushes and exceptional defensive reactions means that we can not risk civilian pilots from being killed or a kidnapped to a fate worse than death... We take precautions, keep your pilots clear of at lest 15K from its perimeter in any direction otherwise we will have to conduct an even more extensive quarantine that would require much more convincing for clearance.

"My last word of advice to your teams is to beware of the MND and the Wilde operating in the system, any extended conversation with them puts you at risk of failing quarantine... If we can retrieve your vessel. But this is the risk for such a reward..."

James Weatherly, Starfliers To: Civil Servant, The Platform CC: Administration, The Platform Subject: Escort Request Through Thuringia Civil Servant: It is excellent to find you again on the Neural-Net. Your lived-in experience of the 'Void that is Thuringia' is greatly appreciated and deeply insightful to the internal conflicts within the system. The interaction with the Wilde near Gotha's core was humbling to say the least, and not a position I find myself keen to be in ever again. Regarding the Restricted Zones outlined: your request for compliance is clearly warranted and accepted. This is your home system, and as such, demands the level of respect a guest should provide their host. Regarding the requested detailed analysis of the: ...stellar body to be studied...dimensional rift itself ...radiation and energy from such an otherworldly engine is likely the key to saving stellar stability. I believe we have the sensor arrays possible to conduct this radiology survey. We will start by classifying ejected stellar masses from the rift, its projected rate of mass ejection, then counter survey against Gotha's starting parameters. For the counter-surveys' beginning variable I would require any and all historical information regarding this planet before the artificial destruction you've implied. We can start with any information you may have between 650 and 810. Any and all information on: initial planetary mass, rotational speed, angle of axis and any orbital drift that has occurred after the destructive event. If that is not possible either due to security concerns or said data being non-existent, it would be possible to work around this 'road bump' by a complete catalogue of the Gotha Fragmentary field. Meaning we would need to scan all sectors Alpha 4 to Charlie 6 If time allows I would also propose the initial interest of additional planetary surveys. Initial proposal would start with a details analysis of Planet Erfurt and any orbiting bodies within System Sector Bravo/Charlie 7, with a future planetary analysis of a celestial bodies long-range scans show exist in Foxtrot 4 next to the Medium Green Solar. As always, Godspeed

Bonjour Starfliers ,

My name is Felice a member of the Bundschuh sect the Platform. I am reaching out to you as recommended by CS to enquire about purchasing three sensor drones that are equipped to survey a jump anomalies and for them to be delivered to Freeport 10 or Newport Station for a pick up if possible.
