apologies for my recent communication downtime, I thought it prudent whilst performing Mission 72, Phase 1.
"Phase 1, Standard, Single, Open
Perform reconnaissance of Lorraine system in accordance with the Technical Manual and present relevant guncam footage in your report."
This has now been completed, please find the information contained in the following.
Entrance to the system is via a jump hole in Omicron Tau, guarded by minefield. However, space debris and a wrecked ship are guides to the path through the minefield.
The jump hole exits in a minefield, and scanner immediately picks up a wreck, keep on right and you can exit minefield. Straight on until you are just past being abreast with the wreck, then 90 degrees right keeping wreck on right. Wreck contains nanobots.
The Lorraine system is reasonably large ~140 K by 140 K encompassing all signs of habitation. There is a Green Dwarf at the North of the system, but the main stellar objects compose a binary system consisting of a medium blue and a medium white star.
Listing of details follows.
There are two nebulae, in the east of the system, the Sarre Nebula to the north and Toul to the south.
The west of the system has two asteroid fields, Longwy to the north and La Thillot to the south.
There are 5 entrance/exit points, 2 are Gallic Jump gates and 3 are jump holes
The gate to Tau 53 exits here and is guarded by the GRN Battleship Venissieux. The gate to Burgundy exits here and the nearest guarding Battleship, the Rocroi is 10k away.
The jump Hole to Burgundy exits here, Tau 53 here and the Omicron Tau positions are shown in the opening guncams.
A number of wrecks see system map, possibly only useful thing contained was data recovered, naming a Gallic system I am unfamiliar with, Roussillion.
GRP and GRN patrols were evident with Serval and Caracal type vessels being employed, I saw no patrols of tonnage of Gunboat or above. The Gallic Corporations were busy with IDF, GMS and EFL all evident with trade vessels from Kusari, Samura, being frequently spotted. There was also a good deal of activity from Maquis, Brigand and Unione Corse vessels, whose bases were kind enough to show hospitality. Towards the south of the system Outcast fighters were also spotted.
