Long range scans reported unusual gravitational readings somewhere in the Brittany system, source unknown, and command ordered the Victorious March to investigate. Shortly after arriving in the system, we located the source of the readings, a previously uncharted jump hole in the vicinity of the gas giant Rennes. Sensors indicated that the jump hole was phase aligned and stable enough for transit, so I gave the order to proceed. The system on the other end of the jump hole is an uncharted system according to our navigational systems. The area around the jump hole was a very dense asteroid field of unknown size, but it appears to extend as far as the ship's mapping software could show.

Not far from the jump hole was an Enclave cruiser. Though the ship took no action against us, it's obvious that the Enclave is aware of both the system itself, and the fact that we're aware of it. We flew a short distance into the system to get our distance from the cruiser and to see if we could locate anything of interest nearby. Towards the relative center of the system, we encountered a Zoner freighter piloted by a Martin Shepherd who appeared to be engaged in mining operations. Mr. Shepherd was not aware of where the system was located, but indicated that the mineral he was mining was worth a significant amount.

We took a sample of the mineral, designated Narcrahtite by our materials scanner, and set course back to the jump hole. This material has a number of unusual properties, but the March is not equipped to perform a proper analysis. Upon our return to Canberra, we turned over a sample of 139 cargo units to a hazmat crew at Fleet Dock 4B. The Victorious March will remain at Canberra until we recieve new orders. Myself and my crew are available for debriefing at your earliest convenience.
