Dossier #119 - Picardy Scouting Report
Last updated on 8. November, 819 AS.
System overview
System is relatively large. It contains a colonized planet and nine Gallic stations. Also two jump gates and two jump holes can be founded within system. Solar objects - medium yellow and yellow dwarf. System is under full control of the Gallic House. Both Navy and Police patrols can be met around, though no capships were detected so far. System is abundant with water (two ice clouds). Traces of some large scale mining operations can be founded in the "north" part of the system.
Estimated value for Nación Maltesa is high.
A small depot not far away from jumpholes, though it don't actually control them with its weapon systems. Free passage is not a problem. And maquis, maquis everywhere.
Boulogne Base
Owner: Gallic Brigands
Location: 5 B
Boulogne is a large asteroid base expanded from the outside by numerous artificial components. Local Brigands looks like a reasonable people. Though I wont called them to be a godparents for my baby, but they understand clearly when money talks. All necessities for your space ship are available.
Planet Amiens
Owner: Gallic Government
Location: 6 E
Terrestrial colonized planet. No further data available.
Abbeville Production Facility
Owner: Some Gallic corporation
Location: 6 C
Some kind of industrial looking station, according to my traffic scans it produces superconductors. Trade traffic is rich within the area and dense asteroid field can be a perfect cover for an ambush and a place to retreat.
Guise Mining Facility
Owner: Another Gallic corporation
Location: 3 E
Obviously it is a mining facility. Though there were no miners present in the area during my survey, traces of a large scale mining operations can be found in an area 1/2 E.
Saint-Quentin Space Colony and Peronne Shipping Platform
Owner: Gallic government
Location: 4/5 F
That's some apartment house, never see such big space colony before, it could possibly give a shelter to an entire city. They even got separate shipping station to supply it. Though these stations used to know much better days. Shipping station bears scars of some kind of explosion, at least half of the docking bays are offline.
La Fere Prison Station
Owner: Gallic government
Location: 5 G (above the plane)
Prison station (captives testimony, confirmation needed). Police patrols are frequent and well equipped in an area.
Fort Etaples
Owner: Gallic police (captives testimony, confirmation needed)
Location: 5 G
Police station within Picardy system (captives testimony, confirmation needed), as for me station looks pretty outdated and bad maintained.
Calais Research Facility
Owner: Navy (probablly)
Location: 5 G (below the plane)
I couldn't get a closer look due to a numerous Navy ships in the area, even using asteroid field as a cover.
Notes
Ice nebula containing Burgundy jump gate can provide an awesome ambush cover impairing scanners. Also trade lanes aren’t reinforced with weapon platforms on this section.
