George E. Rolf, CEO
LOCATION: Planet Pittsburg, New York
SUBJECT: External Report Formatting

Howdy there. If you are readin' this information, that means you've been assigned a contract by Deep Space Engineering. As the CEO of DSE, I want our external contractors to feel welcome to submit any and all reports to this here node. However, there needs to be some minimum standard about the information folks report.

Therefore, all reports are encouraged to include:

• Public profile image
  
• Name
  
• Rank/Position
  
• Location
  
• Report summary
  
• Footage/Info attachments
  

As you might imagine, none of the above are strictly necessary, but it will make it easier for my legal and admin folks to make sure you're correctly reimbursed for your work. If you have any questions about the above, direct them to the public DSE node, where a customer support representative may assist you.

Rolf out.

First, farthest, fearless.

INFORMATION | RECRUITMENT | FEEDBACK | EXTERNAL | INTERNAL | DISCORD

[Karmotrine Dream]

Name: Douglas, Iris Registered Vessel: Fringe.Weaver, Edge Worlds Interceptor Rank: N/A (Freelancer) Position: Explorer

. . Discovery: Sector A1 Open Space Centre (X: -58825 // Y: 8 // Z: -59870) Comments: The outskirts of the Dodge Asteroid Field. Nothing of note here, save for these tiny violet motes of energy. I'm not sure what they might be; they seem harmless enough, but my vessel's sensors can't seem to pinpoint their composition.
. . Discovery: Sector B1 Dodge Asteroid Field (NW) Centre (X: -43083 // Y: 0 // Z: -58737) Comments: Lots of and lots of rocks. The field is not overly dense; no snubcraft should have too much issue traversing it, smaller transports should be able to do much the same as well. Whether there's anything of value in them is a question for specialised survey equipment.
. . Discovery: Sector C1 Dodge Asteroid Field (N); Farrow Centre (X: -25310 // Y: 4 // Z: -58124) || Farrow: (X; -20464 // Y: -5576 // Z: -55483) Comments: The derelict of a Liberty Navy fighter... a Defender, I think. The extent of the damage makes it hard to pinpoint any specific detail apart from the name; when I found it, it was already in the state depicted in the video feed. Cockpit destroyed, wings blasted off (or picked apart), weaponry and engines forcibly disassembled... I'm not sure if it was the work of a particularly angry Junker or a particularly angry pirate, but this is the sorry result. I could spot a faint trail of wreckage leading this way from SSW; it may have fled here, trying to escape its pursuers, and in so doing, missed the jump hole to Pennsylvania. Only a few klicks W would have done it... unfortunate.
. . Discovery: Sector D1 Dodge Asteroid Field (NE); Olathe Centre (X: -9050 // Y: 0 // Z: -58724) || Olathe (X; -9467 // Y: -3646 // Z: -6096) Comments: A glacial planetoid of modest diameter, on the far orbit of the nearby gas giant Topeka. Considering the eccentric trajectory this celestial body follows and its mass, it appears it was once a planet of its own before being dragged far enough into its gravity well. The temperatures are very rigid, going from roughly -120 °C to -7 *C, making habitation a daunting prospect.
. . Discovery: Sector D2 Topeka; Mulvane Wreck; Insurgency Cruiser; Comms Satellite Centre (X: -8834 // Y: 73 // Z: -43239) || Mulvane Wreck, Insurgency Cruiser, Comms Satellite (X: -2539 // Y: 2798 // Z: -47843) Comments: The site of a major battle; one in which the Insurgency did not have the upper hand, clearly, despite the presence of a capital ship of theirs and the complexity of the station itself (two biodomes, multiple depots, docking bays and mooring fixtures, the communications satellite). The damage sustained is significant, with no section virtually left unscathed save for some depots, and the cruiser broke in half.
. . Discovery: Sector E1 Open Space Centre (X: 9510 // Y: 19 // Z: -58660) Comments: Nothing here, although a voluminous violet nebula is now well within visual range. Too dense to see through it from this distance, however.
. . Discovery: Sector F1 Open Space Centre (X: 24937 // Y: 0 // Z: -58110) Comments: Closer now, but still nothing to see... yet. The motes of light do appear to have the same hue and vibrancy as the inside of the nebula, interestingly.
. . Discovery: Sector G1 Open Space Centre (X: 41968 // Y: -1 // Z: -58718) Comments: More of the same...
. . Discovery: Sector H1 Open Space Centre (X: 59332// Y: 0 // Z: -60890) Comments: The eastern edge of the sector. Deep space past here, and I can't see anything notable out theree.

. . Discovery: Zone Overland Park Asteroid Field Foxtrot 4 to Hotel 6 Comments: Asteroids, within another cloud. Guess I can get some flight practice in for the races.
. . Discovery: Zone Smoky Hill Nebula Foxtrot 5 to Hotel 6 Comments: Oohhh.... smokey. Hey, that's part of the name! Nice.
. . Discovery: Accessway Collapsed Jump Hole Foxtrot 6 Comments: Usually you see these things from clicks away! Goddamn Smokey nebula covering this up.
. . Discovery: Wreck Pirate Transport Foxtrot 4 Comments: Liberty fucking Rogues. At least this one won't shoot me.
. . Discovery: Wreck Jamaica Golf 6 Comments: A teeny weeny Junker ship. First time I've seen one of these guys out in the middle of nowhere.
. . Discovery: Wreck Leander Hotel 6 Comments: I'm gonna call this guy John Smith. Registry doesn't tell me who this is, so I'll make one up for 'em.
. . Discovery: Wreck Fat Beetle Hotel 5 Comments: Well now, S.O.S signal, and they gave some RV co-ords. Wonder where they wanted to meet.
. . Discovery: Wreck Clumsy Juggler Hotel 5 Comments: For a bunch of pirates, the name "Ryan" isn't scary whatsoever. Pick a better name.
. . Discovery: Other Asteroid Trail Foxtrot 5 to Hotel 5 Comments: Little trail going through the field. Nav systems have trouble picking them out.

Name:Weatherly, James Registered Vessel: '\S/CEV-Cyllene', Series D "Dromedary" Freighter Rank: Starflier Position: System Cartographer/Mathematician

. Orbital Cartography Report on the Kansas System Charting completed by James Weatherly flying the '\S/'CEV-Cyllene Report was compiled on 10/ 09 / 834AS . .

. . Discovery: Stellar Body Planet Topeka Delta/Echo - 2 Comments: A lovely tourquiore gas giant with a light ring composed of water deposits. Presense of teal/tourquiore indicates light diffractions of water(as evident via the rings), methane and likely a mix of ammonia. Estimates would place average temperatures at -123C
. . Discovery: Stellar Body Planet Wichita Charlie - 5 Comments: A potentially colonizable world, if the given challenges of its moon be overcome. Records show week-long periods of tidal surges flooding over swathes of islands at a time.
. . Discovery: Stellar Body Olathe Delta - 1 Comments: Orbits Planet Topeka Currently the Ice Moon of Planet Topeka. Previous designation was a planetary system complete with moons. These moons were eventually succumbed to the system's tidal forces. Fragments both falling into Topeka (perhaps explaining it relatively high core-mass given standard formation of Gas Giants), and forming Topeka's Ice Rings.
. . Discovery: Stellar Body Colby Charlie - 6 Comments: Orbits Planet Wichita Representing 41% of it's planets mass, this moon demonstrates considerable tidal forces against Planet Wichita.
. . Discovery: Stellar Body Medium Green Sun Delta - 4 Comments: Type F4 size and luminosity
. . Discovery: Stellar Body Medium Blue Sun Solar Center - Delta/Echo - 4/5 Comments: Type F4 size and luminosity. Close enough to its sister this could classify as a binary system. Could exacerbate the already instable orbits of Topeka and Olathe.
. . Discovery: Wreck Fremantle Base w/ "Jacks" Alpha - 4/5 Comments: Base: Fremantle Character's comment of the solar Ships: Humble Bee, Nugget, Old Rascal
. . Discovery: Wreck Bounty Hunters - Wescotts Squad Alpha - 4/5 Comments: Squad Identifiers: 3, 7, and 8
. . Discovery: Wreck Battle for Fort Riley Alpha/Beta - 5 Liberty Contingent: Four LN Gunboats Three LN Cruisers Two LN Heavy Fighter One LN Battlecruiser Insurgency Contingent Two Blackmarket LN Gunboats Three Insurgency Cruisers
. . Discovery: Wreck Battle around Planet Wichita Charlie - 5 Liberty Contingent: One LN Gunboats Three LN Heavy Fighter Two LN Battlecruisers Insurgency Contingent: One Insurgency Cruisers Breaking up into the orbit of Wichita
. . Discovery: Wreck Mulvane Wreck Delta - 1/2 Comments: One Insurgency Cruiser Bio-Sphere shows signs of greenery still. It is unclear if the vegatation is merely flash-frozen when exposed to vacuum However, the resistance to unshielded solar radition is notable and may warrant further study.
. . Discovery: Installation Communication Satalite Delta - 1/2 Comments: Unknown creator and manufactuer in close proxity to the Mulvane Wreck. Still in-transmission. Undamaged.
. . Discovery: Wreck Fancy Echo - 5 Comments: Traitor to the "Jacks". Their boat was welded into the rock free floating within the Sun's Gravity Well. Evidence of melted rock, and blast fragments A mining array is seen bolted onto one of the wings of the vessel.
. . Discovery: Baxter-Class Anomaly Collapsed Jump Hole Foxtrot/Golf- 6 Comments: Previously connecting Kansas to Texas. Likely in relative stablility prior to the Texas Incident of 500. Hmm...the dark matter radition isn't as high here in Kansas as it is at the Texas epicenter. I wonder if it's possible to perform a study and retrospective given the evidence on this 'other' side of the hole in relative safety. Must discuss further...
. . Discovery: Other Far Flung Asteriod Out of local system Comments: Set adrift from the gravity swing of Planet Wichita and it's moon Colby. This asteriod sits not 10 clicks away from an array of weapons platforms.
. . Discovery: Hazard Uknown Out of local system Comments: Hypothesis: Concentrated Dark Matter These pockets seem to deteriorate matter and space at the same time. Much like the affects of an event horizon where an object's descent seems to slow to nothing; so too does this field increase the 'resistance' of transitioning through space. Once the horizon is crossed, catastophic damage is immediate.
. . Discovery: Other Hallowed Asteriod Entrance Out of local system Comments: Asteriod with a hastily carved out center. Likely through liberal use of explosives and the mining arm of "Fancy's" boat.
. . Discovery: Other Alan B. Wescott & Jack the Lesser Out of local system Comments: The last stand of Alan B. Wescott and Jack the Lesser. Leaders of both respective factions	REDACTED Visual confirmation redacted
. . Discovery: Wreck Evacuting Modified Mule Out of local system Comments: Port collapsed during the explosion of REDACTED the hidden base . Pinched by the bay doors, with the hull to slowly decompress.
. . Discovery: Wreck Rattlesnake Foxtrot - 2 Comments: A Lane Hacker with a customized and skillfully equipped Sabre. Running low on fuel, NavLogs show they followed a signal of a base or vessel into the Turtle Creek Nebula.

Name:Weatherly, James Registered Vessel: '\S/CEV-BlueShift', R1 "Dragur" Edge World Freighter Rank: Starflier Position: System Cartographer/Mathematician

. Orbital Cartography Report on the Kansas System: Sectors A6, A-H7, and supplemental Charting completed by James Weatherly flying the '\S/'CEV-BlueShift Report was compiled on 05 / 11 / 834AS . .

. . Discovery: Name: Sector A6 Type: Arkansas Ice Asteroid Field Comments: Interior of the Arkansas Ice Field. Location near previous scouted Jump Hole to Vespucci, making it a lucrative waystop for ice collection. Comments: Note the high presence of dead vessels within the BattleField. Risk is noted to be low for any retrieval expeditions
. . Discovery: Name: Sector A7 Type: Open Space Comments: Outskirts of the Arkansas Ice Fields, nearby to Vespucci Jump Hole
. . Discovery: Name: Sector B7 Type: Open Space Comments: Section nearby a wreck, noted below. Just on the outskirts of Arkansas Ice Field
. . Discovery: Name: Demeter Type: Wreck Location: Sector B7 Comments: A poor soul who met their end at the end of a Tachyon Gun. I hope whatever cargo they were determined to keep was worth it.
. . Discovery: Name: Sector C7 Type: Zone Comments: Arkansas Ice Asteroid Field
. . Discovery: Name: Sector D7 Type: Zone Comments: Arkansas Ice Asteroid Field
. . Discovery: Name: Sector E7 Type: Open Space Comments: Nice view of the 1st of two suns in this binary system. Juxtaposed against this purple/blue nebula and Planet Wichita
. . Discovery: Name: Sector F7 Type: Open Space Comments: Nearby to a pocket of Dark Matter split from the larger Smoky Hill Nebula. Deep scans show no materials, asteroids, or wrecks within this small pocket
. . Discovery: Name: Sector G7 Type: Zone Comments: Small overlap of the Overland Park Asteroid Field. Further afield is the dusk cloud of the Smoky Hill Nebula (Dark Matter)
. . Discovery: Name: Mosley Type: Wreck Location: Section G7 Comments: Wreck of a Rogue vessel, taken long ago by some forgotten dogfight.
. . Discovery: Name: Sector H7 Type: Open Space Comments: Open Space next to the Overland Asteroid Field
. . Discovery: Name: Sector F2 Type: Baxter Anomaly Location: Turtle Creek Nebula Comments: This is the second time I've seen this Neutral Entity. It appears both as a guardian and the key to ancient answers hidden here
. . Discovery: Name: Sector F to G-6 Type: Baxter Anomaly Location: Smoky Hill Nebula Comments: This
. . Discovery: Name: Sector G Type: Wreck Location: Abandoned Base - Fortaleza Comments: Wreck of an abandoned Base when the Insurgency was overrun. No life supports, all gates locked. Would require a physical team to either unlock this base. Given the speed at which this base was emptied, there are likely stores of information as this place was not scuttled. Re-establishment of the base is possible as it shows no Dark Matter damage from the nearby cloud.

. Orbital Cartography Report on the Kansas System: Sectors A6, A-H7, and supplemental Charting completed by James Weatherly flying the '\S/'CEV-BlueShift Report was compiled on 05 / 11 / 834AS . .

. . Discovery: Name: Sector A8 Type: Open Space Comments: Local Navigation edge of the system. Scans show nothing further a-field.
. . Discovery: Name: Sector B8 Type: Open Space Comments: This Sector lies 12 KiloMeters away from the Arkansas Ice Fields. Plenty of open space, with nearby access to the Vespucci Jump Hole.
. . Discovery: Name: Sector C8 Type: Open Space Comments: This nav centre lies only 4 Kilometers away from the Ice Fields. Note that at this edge, the Ice Fields lay 2.5 Kilometers above standard nav plane.
. . Discovery: Name: Sector D8 Type: Open Space Comments: This view provides easy access to the Ice Fields, while avoiding potential drift of the Dark Matter clouds within the Smoky Hill Nebula.
. . Discovery: Name: Sector E8 Type: Open Space Comments: Open space with moderate distance from both Dark matter and Ice Asteroids. Suitable for large installations as drift of both hazards into Sector E8 are unlikely.
. . Discovery: Name: Sector F8 Type: Open Space Comments: Here we approach pocket off-shoot of the Smoky Hill Nebula. Trajectory estimates shows the Dark Matter pocket will pass from Sector F7 to F8 within the next decade. Jump Advisory Warning: Category 2
. . Discovery: Name: Sector G8 Type: Open Space Comments: Dead Z-axis Centre of the Smokey Hill Nebula and Overland Park Asteroid field. The overall shape can be obsersed
. . Discovery: Name: Sector H8 Type: Open Space Comments: System Edge of Nav charts. Here one can carefully observe several large asteroids which have have been far-flung from this system's centre.
