Report of Mission 2 Phase 1
Recon of the Oita system
System accessible from Colorado through the Illinois system. The stable Jump Hole from Colorado to Illinois is located in sector 3F. Preliminary scans showed a probability of large hostile forces in the Illinois system, so the use of WHACK special maneuver was necessary, Trainee Ejet Moon helped in the execution. The suspicion about enemy peresence in Illinois proved to be correct. Numerous Liberty Police installations and ships were encountered.
The Jump Hole to Colorado in the Illinois system is heavily guarded, this includes:
A space station.
A battleship.
Two weapons platforms.
There are also two additional police stations in the system: Springfield Station and Police Plaza, also several police patrols were spotted.
The stable Jump Hole to the Oita system is defended by two weapons platforms, located in sector 4F. The map of the Illinois system, and the detailed position of defences around Colorado Jump Hole. Attempting a jump to the Illinois system without WHACK or heavy shielding or hull reinforcement is not advised. Since the enemy defences are almost entirely consist of weapons designed to repel large enemy fleets, smaller ships like light fighters can easily dodge enemy fire until reaching the Oita jump hole.
The overal map of the Oita system. During my recon mission I did not encounter hostile or any other vessel in the system. There are two derelict objects in the Oita system which may have significance. The first is the remains of an unknown space installation near the planet Sakurajima, further study is required. The other one is a severely damaged fighter class ship. The wreck contained an unknown weapon, which was handed to the Lane Hacker R&D for further analysis.
The Jump Hole to the unexplored system is located in sector 6E. The scans of the Jump Hole indicate it is stable and safe for use. There is no any kind of defence or hostile movement around the Jump Hole or anywhere in the Oita system.
