My first "double shift" as captain of the cruiser. It's a good thing, Forby has nice captain's chair.

Alright, back on a subject.

We have performed a detailed mapping and scouting of the Vespucci system.
I believe I can be honest with myself here in my personal log, by telling that, I wish we had those people on our side. They are geniuses. People who designed and calculated the location of their bases has turned their system into a fortress. If there is going to be a military assault operation into the Vespucci system, I whish neither me nor my friends be taking part there.

Every jumphole in the system is situated within the asteroid field. Transports or light cruisers like Mount.Forbes. can successfully navigate through that system, in case of the well trained and skilled crew on board, however, larger capital ships, especially dreadnaughts or carriers will have trouble flying through it.


Populated planet Veracruz is surrounded by another asteroid field, which is very tricky to navigate through. In case of piloting or navigation mistake done by a capital ship helm crew, could result in significantly slower movement rate or even damages. Needless to say, it's a perfect place to ambush enemy capital ships with bombers.
The planet itself doesn't seems to be well developed, however, some activities still takes place on the planet's surface. I've spoken with scientists, they told, that it is definately possible to establish developed colony on the planet Veracruz, within foreseeable time, in case of sufficient materials and manpower provided. It's a harsh place, I would love to avoid at any cost, however, harsh environment is good for building up strength. If it doesn't kill, it makes stronger...

Another thing worth mention is a yellow colored Guerro asteroid field. A thick field with large asteroids, probably planetary fragments.
Insurgents has a fortified base within that cloud. Our scanners have detected an Arbiter class battleship in close proximity to base. We didn't approach to close to base, to avoid loosing our cover. Those guys indeed has some guts...
Within the same cloud we have also discovered an anomaly, Same one in New York, and one in Omega 3 system.
No research installation was observed in close proximity to anomaly source. I can explain this in two ways. First, and less likely, Insurgents didn't discovered to yet. But I don't think so.
The other, and more likely reason- they don't bother themselves with it. Yet.
I belive, they are perfectly aware of this phenomenon, however, they have no resources to spend on setting up a research station there, at the moment. But that's for now. I guess, they have some long-standing plans for it. It would be unwise not to.

Final few words about Gaians and Cruise liner, orbiting lifless volcanic planet.
Well, Gaians are Gaians. Not much to say about them. Crazy people who deserves being shot when causing nuisance. I don't think they could be useful for us in our war against Insurgency.

A Cruise line, is what I would put my attention. I might be wrong, and there are very "Top" undercover agents operating at that liner, but I'm mostly sure, there is a shady business going around there.
I would put couple of our Informatory agents with "assassination" license on that ship.

Guess done for today.
