Operation Venice Refinery

[obnoxious1]

Project Venice would be the largest Cardamine refining, research & development, & distribution station known through out Sirius. A station to quadruple the production of cardamine & explore the uses & properties of a substance that was gifted to them long ago by a Guardian Spirit who was grateful for a chance encounter with it. A strange substance known as Liquid Cardamine. For safety & security concerns, the Syndicate decided that basing the station in a remote system with limited access to it would protect it from rivals & enemies of the Outcast Nation & freeing up reality on Malta to make use for more fields. & with the Liquid Cardamine experiments, it would assure the safety of the Maltese Nation.
The only thing stopping the Syndicate from putting this plan into motion was location.
Until now.

Recently, A Brigade patrol in Beta, chased an un-welcomed visitor to a remote sector of that system.
After the apprehension of the violator of Outcast space, one of the patrol pilots noticed an anomaly on his scanner. The following are the classified transmissions from that event.

Shadow Outcast Brigade Beta Patrol 'Crimson Unit'
Date 812 at 07:23:05
CLASSIFIED Transmission as follows

{SOB}Crimson3: Sir, I have something odd on my scanner.
{SOB}Crimson1: Not another ship? I tire of chasing trespassers in this asteroid soup.
{SOB}Crimson3: Negative sir, It's faint, & the signal is distorted due to the radiation, but I think it's the same signature known for the jump holes in this area.
{SOB}Crimson1: A jump hole out here? there is nothing on the charts.. mark it & send a probe in.
{SOB}Crimson3: Aye sir, firing probe

Upon the return of the probe, it was discovered that this was in fact a un-charted jump hole & it lead to another system. The following transmission were logged & labeled as classified.

Shadow Outcast Brigade Beta Patrol 'Crimson Unit'
Date 812 at 09:44:37
CLASSIFIED Transmission as follows

{SOB}Crimson3: Sir the probe is coming back through the anomaly.
{SOB}Crimson1: Copy, start downloading the information onto a secured storage drive , then destroy that probe. I want no evidence left of it & where it has been.
{SOB]Crimson3: Aye sir, understood.
{SOB}Crimson1: We need to get this data to command ASAP. & no one is to speak of this.
Log Ends
After months of analyzing the limited data from the probe, a scientific exploration team was sent in secrecy to the newly discovered system.
Blue Lotus Syndicate scientist escorted by the elite A wing of the Brigade ventured into this new territory to gather data on it & report back to command.
The following data stream was gathered and is labeled as classified:

{SOB}/[BLS] Exploratory mission to now named system of Omicron 64
Date 812 A.S. - 813 A.S.
Classified System Data
Expedition Findings:

JUMP HOLES: 2. Both seem stable 1st leading to Omicron Beta and located at grid F7, Other has yet to be explored but is located at grid G6

STARS: 2. Medium White. Located at grid D/E 4/5 & Blue Dwarf located at grid E1

NAVIGATIONAL ANOMALIES: 2. 1st anomaly is a radioactive asteroid field covering an area from grids D8 to G3 named Campo Asteroides. Radiation tolerable, no threat. Various sized asteroids in a green debris cloud.
Alien Organisms identical to those in Omicron Beta detected.
2nd anomaly is a highly radioactive asteroid field located in an area covering D5 to A3 and has been named El Diablo. The high levels of radiation limited our scans. A single planet & a large hollow asteroid were found by sure accident in this field. Prolonged ventures into this field have shown to be dangerous.


PLANETS: 3 found.

Planet at grid E6 named Sicily: Water giant, no above water land masses, core consists of molten iron encrusted in granite. Water contains odd micro alien lifeforms that are a similar match to the DNA structure of the organisms found in Omicron Beta. Planet Mass & size on spec sheets.

Planet at grid G3 named Messina: Large gas giant surrounded by rings of inert gasses & ice crystals.
Potential for mining of needed resources, further scans needed.

Planet at grid b4 named Zaragoza: Scanners completely fail in this region due to high radiation in the asteroid field surrounding the planet. It appears solid & that is the only known details.


Basic Expedition Report Ends:

With the information gathered & showing promise for use in Syndicate & Brigade plans. Both parties decided to keep this completely secret. Not even the Council of Dons was to be notified until the projects were either complete or near completion.
Project Venice was reborn & is now underway.
