Greetings,
The following is a report on the Roussillon system as requested as part of the ongoing contract to support Octavarian Fleet Operations. This report will focus on technical findings during this voyage.
Mission Brief: Acquire technical information of surviving assets in the Roussillon system after the Gallic Royal Enclave withdrawal from the system and assess status of tactical and civilian assets for potential reactivation. Grid sections Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta where scanned during this trip.
Section 1: Tau 44 Minefield, Sector D-3
This minefield completely envelops the Tau-44 Jumphole Anomaly. Multiple exit vectors exist, however they require multiple course corrections. No Nav bouys where available to assist in navigating this hazard, and the turns required to clear the minefield where rather abrupt.
Recommendation: To stabilize the area, Nav bouys are required to assist civilian pilots in navigating this hazard, and further cleanup of routes out of the minefield should be done to limit potential accidents in the future.
Section 2: Station Rodez Wreck, Sector D-4
In Orbit around planet Toulouse, this derelict appears to be a Gallic modular station with a substantial amount of Hangar and Mooring points. While the original use of this station is unknown at this time, it appears to be a relatively straight forward design. Large segments of the stations large mooring points appear to be intact, and various station weapon emplacements appear undamaged.
Recommendation: Given the fairly simple nature of the station, it is Aquila's belief that this station would serve as a potential candidate for repair and reactivation. Given it's modular construction, we potentially could adapt Sirian technologies to replace any damaged or missing Gallic tech.

Section 3: Perpignan Spaceport Wreck, Sector D-5
This station is in orbit around Planet Foix, and would appear unsalvageable. Scans indicate multiple close-in impacts from high yield weapons fire, potentially from battleship class vessels. The station is shattered into multiple distinctive pieces, with the largest section appearing to be a civilian trade center.
Recommendation: While the hull of the lower section of this station may be of some use, overall the station is a total loss and would probably be only useful for scrap metal.

Section 4: Battleship Pamiers, Sector D-5
Accompanying the wreck of Perpignan Spaceport, the Battleship Pamiers appears to be of Council origin, however is currently flying the flag of the Maquis. Surface scans report the battleship is significantly damaged, but optical scans indicate repairs are ongoing.

Section 5: Le Boulou Station Wreck, Sector C-6
This station appears to have been a defensive platform covering the Jump Hole, however the station is a total loss. It's only use now would be as scrap metal.

Section 6: Active Maquis Military Assets, Encountered in Section C-6
While executing detailed scans of the Le Boulou Station Wreck, two heavy combat assets exited the Jump Hole Anomaly and initiated in conversation with myself and Octavarian Fleet Officer Reina Pavoni. While they discussed business, I took a few scans of their ships discreetly. Both ships appear to be old Council vessels, with enhanced armoring packages added post-construction.

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
