Captain Saito reporting, sitting here in what's probably the most wretched system within the farthest corner of Sirius. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m kind of missing the Omicrons right now. This place is full of dangers hiding within the clouds and the radiation is killer, however I also cant help but notice that it vaguely mirrors our very own Omicron Mu, at least in a geographical kind of way. Bit of a twisted take, but I suppose I'll spare you my ramblings.
First, a debriefing on current happenings before I get into some more pressing matters. Since making contact with the Gallic National Intelligence, I've also been introduced to the Unione Corse whilst "touring" the sectors that are actually pleasant and hospitable around Gallia. Neither group seems too opposed to working with us, although some distrust towards us is still to be expected. I am still awaiting an official responses from both of these groups, and the Gallic Navy's stance still needs to be determined but we will get to that in due time. In the meantime I’ve taken the opportunity to do a more comprehensive expedition into the Tau-61 system.
Following up on some leads from my initial pathfinding discoveries when I first arrived, I can honestly say I haven't uncovered many new subjects of interest. A hidden planetary body, an extremely old Gallic battlecruiser wreck, some more chunks of ice… all very mundane. The most disappointing thing was my follow up scan on one of the gas giant's moons, dubbed Apeiron. I was rather optimistic that the Hathor's scanner would have better luck than my personal star fighter at getting through the intense magnetic interference. I'm sure you've surmised that this was not the case, nothing but noise.
This moon, Apeiron, appears to be suitable enough to harbor life and make a decent location for an outpost, yet here I am wondering why it is I see no Wild or Nomad patrols passing nearby nor am I detecting any artificial structures to speak of. Something seems aloof here, in fact, I’d bet what's currently my only bottle of sake that the Nomads have something hidden on that snowball.
Command, I understand it’s a tough ask, but if a small detachment could be spared to help confirm my suspicion then we might be able to get a leg up in this system. I have a hope that the sensors on our recon cruisers could be strong enough to brute force their way through the magnetic interference and get us a clear reading on any unusual activity that may be present on this moon. If we can spare a few cruisers to perform this task then I'm sure we'll gather some useful data at least. Some escorts are recommended just in case we stir up the hive. I'd recommend bringing gunboats since they can handle the intense radiation much better than fighters or bombers could. If snubs are the call then I urge you to bring a battlecruiser with hangar space for them to seek refuge.
I will await your response for now.
