Open Transmission from Tau-23

To All Traders and Money-Makers Alike

Ikarus Storage Facility 03 houses Niobium Ore in Tau 23, for traders across all of Sirius.

The Junkers aren't in it for the profit, they want to have a new foothold. New commodities, new trades, and new business with whoever comes forward. Most of their influence is isolated within Liberty, and today they arrive in the Taus. The Junkers goal here to simply expand their influence across Sirius and be a presence hidden in plain sight.

Their purpose here is to have a base to gather and ship Niobium Ore back to Puerto Rico to maintain their assets. The nearby Outcast homeworld loves the fact there's an outpost selling the Ore, rather than them working for it themselves, so this keeps Cali and ISF_03 happy.

Story:

A junker named Venk with a ship designated JK-46, decided to painstakingly move Hull Segments, Reinforced Alloys and other resources one at a time into Tau 23. He left everything suspended in space until everything was there. Over the years, the Outcasts stole and pillaged from this unprotected suspended lot of loot, not knowing it was a Junker leaving these resources there.

Eventually, JK-46 got everything in place, so he got to work.

After taking a few months of welding and piecing together the communications array, he noticed something wasn't quite right. The Station's designation was "Kusari Storage Facility 03"... but the exterior panels showing the name were welded in the wrong order. So thus, the station was reprogrammed to show as Ikarus, and was finally opened to the residents of Sirius.

Base Exports Niobium Ore $2000

From Mr. Venk. Owner of ISF_03.

After some time, JK-46 has fell silent. No one got any communications, and no traders came through Tau-23. No one knows what happened to Venk. One day, a new manager came along and claimed ownership of the base, seeing as it was still in perfect working order.

Ikarus Station
Ikarus Station (presently named Ikarus Storage Facility 03) was formerly a Junker base stationed in Tau-23 that had fallen into some disrepair after a lack of use and was recovered with the aid of the Starfliers. The site now functions as the primary R&D facility for Starlight Research Consortium. Additionally, Ikarus Station is considered the headquarters for the SLRC and is presently under retrofit for expansion for research into other fields such as development into stealth systems, cloak disruptors, hyperdrives, and a wide variety of other technologies as well. However, since the base is still under repair and the SLRC is in it's infancy, this is planned for a later date.

Scientific Data

---

In order to fund certain aspects of our research, we often will sell off innocuous and safe parts of our research for Sirius at large to utilize as they see fit. This serves a dual purpose. One, it funds many aspects of the day to day operations of SLRC as well as funds many of our other research projects that aren't open to the public. Two, it lifts up Sirius at large to benefit from certain aspects of our research to aid us to stand on the shoulders of giants and grow to understand our place in Sirius.

We will sell units of this data for 2.750.000SC each. The station will sell up to 500 units at a time.

Ikarus Station is a stellar observatory and research hub located in the Tau-23 system. Under the administration of the Starlight Research Consortium, the station regularly monitors the anomaly nearby for any activity and acts as a warning station for any unusual activity. The station also acts as a port of call for various groups and organizations within the sector for any research opportunities. The Research Liner Sol has taken up temporary residence in the system on the other side of the anomaly--enroute to their next permanent port of call. Rumors swirl that a treasure trove of data exists aboard Ikarus from stellar anomaly cataloguing as well as secrets best left forgotten. The truth of this is mired in rumor, hearsay, and lies...yet the rumors persist.

Research Materials As stated before, Ikarus stands at the forefront of scientific research in the Taus. With that in mind, the station provides research materials for would be scientific endeavors. The main component of these research materials are "Anomaly Scanner Batteries" for $1.000 SC per unit. However, if you wish to obtain some yourself from other more distant research platforms, you are free to do so. Additionally, Ikarus pays $500 SC per battery if you wish to make a quick 60.000SC profit stocking the station for our regional scientists. Either seeking out a profit or discoveries, Ikarus provides it all.

Materials Sought Ikarus Station regularly seeks out various materials for the installations daily operations as well as unique resources from across Sirius and beyond. These materials and objects are utilized for a variety of uses from ensuring they are preserved, research, or use in construction of various technologies for the betterment of Sirius. See the list below for the items we are seeking...perhaps you could make yourself a rich individual should you possess these items. Ingenuus Power Cell $10.000.000 SC [PURCHASE ONLY] Dark Matter Core $3.000.000 SC [PURCHASE ONLY] Anomaly Scanner Batteries $500 SC / $1.000 SC [PURCHASE AND SELL] Water $20 SC [PURCHASE ONLY] Basic Alloy $25 SC [PURCHASE ONLY] Hull Panels $60 SC [PURCHASE ONLY] Military Salvage $120 SC [PURCHASE ONLY] Chriodebris $2.500 SC [PURCHASE ONLY] Cerulite Crystals $2.500 SC [PURCHASE ONLY] Organic Capacitors $2.000 SC [PURCHASE ONLY] Prototype Components $1.500 SC [SELL ONLY] Keep an eye on this list for further developments as Ikarus Station begins spinning up other operations related to construction and generation of materials.

SUBJECT: Updated Neural Net Page

Ikarus Station is once again firing up it's forges for all those scientific researchers chomping at the bit for new knowledge! Starlight Research Consortium (SLRC) is one again at the helm of monitoring the stellar anomalies within the system as well as innovative research into various ship equipment and weapons research. If you are interested in any of these avenues of research, be sure to stop by and say hello! We look forward to hearing from you with your questions, comments, or concerns. Watch this space for updates as they come. Ever upwards, towards answers. --Dr. Leo Morningstar Director for SLRC and Administrator for Ikarus Station
