Well we delved into the Unkown system today, and let me tell you, that is one odd place. Filled with large, razor sharp rock and a murky green cast it reeks havock with visibility, but does not seem to affect sensors. I did my best to map the place, but the nav computer refused to record the data. Here is all the nav computer would come up with



Now scanners worked just fine since from the second I entered the systems I detected the Nomad base, or lair as the scanner called it. It's very close to the entrace to Delta.

So I locked on to the base and decided for some close passes. I can only assume that it was the base that was jamming up my nav computer. I also notice that my threat indicators were going off like crazy. They showed threats all over behind me, but as you can see from the scanner there are no ships with in range. We have a discovery scanner on board S/D-Stheno, so the range is long.

Here is a closer look from a different angle.

Nomad lair02

Now I can only assume that these protrutions we see in this picture are docking stations for larger ships.

Nomad Lair03

We did take some fire as we circled the lair, but it was easily enough avioded. One bolt did hit us and it rocked the shields, so becareful if you enter here. We noticed that on the top there was this pulsing opening. It must be the entrance for smaller craft. Here is a pic with the opened circled. Hard to tell in the pic I know.

Nomad Liar Entrance?

We also found a jump hole into the Minor system. This muct link up with the one I found in Minor last trip. I pulled up the nav map so you could at least see our position.

Minor Jump hole

Now you can see from the scanner that I am only 300 or so meters away from it, but the nav map will not record it's position. This base is very odd. We cruised around a bit, but found nothing else. It was a tad unnerving with no nav map so did not want to stray to far from objects that came up on the scanner.

Also here is the crew list for S/D-Sthenno. We have Adimar Mannus, he is the Bounty Hunter guard sergeant I told you about. Made him my security officer. We then have Toby Vallus, my co-pilot. James Emmerson is my load master. He is skilled at dealing with hazrdous materials and is modifying our hold to contain the samples we may aquire. He pretty handy with a welder. We took on some ship hull parts from Freeport 11 for the job. Pedr Cagogan is my gunner. Good shot that kid, should do well. Last we have Rhys Eaton, he is my ships mechanic. Knows the Gun ships well. Please make sure they get listed as with the Stheno incase something happens to us.

So here we are back at Freeport 11, getting ready to head out to Iota. My next report should contain the map for that system, and hopefully some more samples for our boys at R&D. Maybe next time one of those R&D boys would like to come along.
