Archeological Excavation - Planet Moros (Omicron Lost)

[Edgeworld University]

Regarding the latest proposal of the Core about a potential Zoner settlement within Omicron Lost basic research about such system was advised. After searching the index of our library, a document of interest has appeared revealing following information about Omicron Lost.

Discovered and surveyed by a Colonial scientific expedition in 817 A.S. Due to the lack of any valuable resources and a very hostile environment both on the surface and in the surrounding space, economic development is considered very unlikely.
At first glance resembling a gas giant, Moros has an opaque, purple-tinted atmosphere composed of argon, xenon and trace amounts of other gases. The planet's surface is rocky, littered with frozen carbon dioxide crystals and some rare alien ruins.
Over time, a significant quantity of rocky debris got pulled into the planet's gravity well. Also, the Colonial expedition assembled a temporary supply depot in geostationary orbit.
Moros is the ultimate frontier of the Sirius sector. It lies well beyond the boundary set by the edge nebula, and despite the extremely harsh environmental conditions, the Order is considering whether to establish an automated listening post on the surface. Local Nomad activity is surprisingly high. Nobody is certain as to the reason for this, but it is suspected that the aliens also recognize the strategic importance of the system. Economically, Moros theoretically could support a population and generate profits from artifact export, however the same sort of goods are available at a lesser cost and risk in Omicron Gamma, Delta and Theta.

The mentioned runes at the planetary surface requires closer research, therefore the Outer Rim University will prepare an excavation immediately under the lead of Dr. Wes Valdon. He will also initiate a contact with the original constructor of the depot that lies abandoned within the orbit of planet Moros.
