REPORT #825-001
TO: HCSTA High Commissar Alexey Novikov
FROM: SCEC CRO Dr. Mstislav Belov
RE: Progress on ‘Tselina’ project

---

Comrade High Commissar,

The crew of “Kardashev” salutes you as one! We are pleased to hereby rapport to you on steps taken to advance our glorious cause and project ‘Tselina’. We believe, that the steps we have taken were in the right direction and the yields of research during the short existence of SCEC can prove to you that your efforts in the Duma on establishing this institution were not in vain.

After analysing the scope of the project, the research crew came up with the flight agenda and the data that can be collected during one short flight that can draw minimal attention and allow the vessel to stay clear of hostile sensors without hindering our capacity to obtain needed data and samples.
The expedition included two ships: CPRV ‘Kardashev’ and a personal ‘Insurgent’-class vessel of aspirant Anton Shweik that was subsequently used for reconnaissance and probing.

The course used:

---

Path 1: Mykolaiv Research Station (New Moscow) -> Omega-49 -> Cayman -> Planet Lesbos (Omicron Omega).

---

Throughout the course we managed to stay undetected by hostile vessels and made it safe to Planet Lesbos. Our particular point of interest was obtaining information of the weather patterns of the Planet as well as updates on atmosphere composition.

The crew came up with schemes for cyclone patterns in both hemispheres.

As we suspected, the planet is of similar type as Braillia and weather patterns resemble each other for 64.1%. The yields can be subsequently used for planning of lifeforms or terraforming aerosols dispersion over Braillia.

Note: Lesbos is overall suitable for planetfall and is considered as a valuable asset by the Corsairs. We do believe that should the hostilities between the Coalition and the Corsairs aggravate, the proximity of the Cayman system which is under our control now can allow for swift blitzkrieg against located nearby ‘Barcelona’ station and taking control over Lesbos which may be susbsequently colonised with the technologies we already have.

Note 2: Cryer base used a few communication satellites over Lesbos. We managed to hack them and download some encrypted data currently being decoded at Mykolaiv facility. We also found a weak yet very consistent signal from a distant quadrant of Omicron Omega system. Aspirant Shweik undertook a recon flight and found a fully automatic base run by Gammu AI. More details on this are to be provided in a separate report by aspirant Shweik.

Path 2: Lesbos (Omicron Omega) -> Freeport 5 (Omega-41) -> Omega-55 -> Planet Vespus (Omicron Theta) -> Planet Pygar (Omicron Theta)

---

Using the advantage of our intel on Omicron Omega, we employed a rapid manoeuvre to Omega-41 jumphole without detection. After the repairs from irradiation at Freeport-5 and updating information from the zoners, we made it safe to Omicron Theta through Omega-55.

The first point of interest was understudied in Coalition literature Planet Vespus. Zoners provided us with some useful insights that allowed to speed up our analysis. The planet was proven to be devoid of life signatures. The atmosphere is composed of noble gasses, mostly of Neon and Argon and some Helium, slowly dissipating into space. The planet poses no further interest for the People of Coalition.

The second point of interest was Planet Pygar, the alleged initial source of nomad contamination that led to the events commonly referred to in bourgeoisie academic literature as ‘Nomad Wars’. Although the planet has been studied for many times and we obtained most of the data on it, the Coalition never truly performed the analysis of our own.

We were mostly interested in possible biological signatures in planet’s soil, atmosphere and hydrosphere. We also conducted a seismic analysis and 3D-scanning of the derelict alien ‘city’.

Footage of Pygar study

As we suspected, the ‘city’ was empty, although the pattern of structure can provide insight into mining on planet Volgograd. In particular, it pertains to how natural karst caves can be adapted to industrial mining without inflicting damage to the cave (more details in a separate article to be published by our geologist Dr. Huang Xiao).

The analysis of atmosphere and almost absent hydrosphere was tedious and troublesome, as we lost three probes to unstable weather conditions. With skilful calibrations and angle amplification carried out by aspirant Shweik, the probe reached the ground and was capable of transmitting the data back regardless dust clouds interfering the radio signal. We found out that the nomads left the world almost barren, yet simple prokaryotes persist and flourish in small lakes of underground water and upper layers of soil. This proves that ecosystem is not doomed after nomad invasion, although further investigation is needed in controlled conditions for eukaryotes and viruses.

Path 3: Planet Pygar –> Corfu Base (Omicron Theta) -> Kamchatka Base (Omega-55) -> Omega-47 -> Omega-5 -> Mykolaiv Research Station (New Moscow).

---

After refuelling at Corfu Base we set our course back to New Moscow system. However, not far from Corfu we were intercepted by a corsair gunboat-class vessel CNS ‘Perseus’. The culprit forced us to fight back despite our reluctance and we inflicted substantial damage to corsair’s vessel without receiving any hull damage, leaving the latter without nanobots and shield batteries yet still in one piece. The fight was dragging on and realising the hazard of waging a battle near Omicron Gammu system and without possible reinforcements we decided to withdraw to Omega-55 system. The priority of the data obtained was utmost so believe we did it right, although defer the judgement to you, comrade High Commissar.

After resupplying ammo at Kamchatka base, we proceeded back to New Moscow system without incidents.

We hope, that our extensive report will suffice to answer most of the question back in the High Commissariat and the Ministry.

Availing this opportunity, we would like to assure you, comrade Novikov, of our deem esteem and would like to draw your attention to necessity of providing SCRA professional military pilots to escort our expeditions into deep enemy territory.

With respect,

SCEC CRO Dr. Mstislav Belov
