A prelimary tour of the system has been undertaken.

Moon, Saigon Orbit

This small moon orbits Planet Saigon. Upon first examination, it appears to possess a barren landscape of little resource value. However, this small rock may be of strategic importance in any theoretical defence of the planet and due any gravitational or atmospheric effects it may have on Saigon.

Nebula

This white nebula obscures the Battleship Daishouri, acting as the perfect cover from which to base Guild operations in the system. It also houses a small asteroid field which itself seems to be of some mineral wealth. A prospecting operation will be undertaken to determine the exact value of the field and whether it is of any worth to begin exploitation of any available resources.

Gas Giant

Located across the system and on the other side of the binary stars from Planet Saigon, this large gas giant is adorned by a collection of large rings of dust, presumably drawn into the planet's gravity well from the asteroid belt in the centre of the system. Its position deep within the Sigmas may make the Crow Nebula its source, which in turn may make the planet a source of precious helium-3.

Moon, Gas Giant Orbit

The second of the two moons in Sigma-21, this satellite orbits its parent Gas Giant. Although likely of less importance than Saigon's moon, an examination is still planned in the interests of thoroughly surveying the system. Despite its unremarkable appearance, the moon may yet be found to hold secrets of importance.

Crow Nebula

A foreboding dark outcropping of the Crow Nebula that lies a short cruise from Planet Saigon. The nebula may be a navigational hazard, but The Guild is more than adept at traversing such terrain so shall investigate nonetheless. The Sigma-15 jumphole has already been charted and the field will be tested to determine if it holds any valuable gases for collection.

Asteroid Belt

The binary star system has caught in its gravity well and condensed a dust field that has formed an accretion disc and some larger asteroids in its midst. Although this belt is unlikely to be of much importance, it perhaps may be possible to be utilised by ships attempting to pass through the centre of Sigma-21 undetected. Whether the field is dense enough to possess scanner obfuscating properties is as yet unknown.

End of report.
