[font=Lucida Console]Privet,
The following is an account of my surveillance in the Omega 58 system. To say that there is a heavy Wilde presence is an understatement, but it's also a well known fact. However, the system has distinguishing features that make it rather unreal. The incomplete Nomad Gate in the centre of the system emits a large amount of feedback, and a noticeable gravitational pull, which is the reason for the grainy quality of the guncam footage.
I'll start with the planets. There are only two bodies that can be classified as planets. The first is a gas giant called Konigsbrunn. It seems to be heavily guarded by Wilde patrols, and several weapons platforms. It's located centrally within the system, in comparison to the other planet: Passau. This one is on the far reach of the system, however the orbit trajectory indicates it is being pulled towards the Nomad Gate.
The rest of the planetoids in the system are moons. They are Forcheim, Hof, Straubing, and Vilshofen. All of them seem to be gravitating towards the Nomad Gate. Other than that, they are uninteresting.
There are two stations within the system. Both are heavily armed, and defended by many weapons platforms. Bottrop Depot, while it looks like something Junkers put together, has capable defensive systems. It is located very close to the Nomad Gate, as opposed to Hirschfield Base, which lies futher out. It also looks a lot more robust, with defensive systems to match.
I also discovered the wrecks of two Hessian fighters. My scanners were able to pick out their transponders. The first one I located was Vesteralen. It seemed to have been damaged by fighter weapons, and disabled. However, my scanners also detected heavier weapons fire, leading me to believe it was also damaged by weapons platforms. The other Hessian wreck is the Lichter, cut down by a Wilde patrol.
There was another wreck, only this one was a lot more peculiar, called the Westerwald. It was located within the centre of the Nomad Gate. I couldn't get a very accurate image of the wreck, as I felt a strong gravitational pull drawing me into the centre. This one was of Rheinland origin, and I have no idea as to what purpose it serves there.
The follwing is a system-wide map.

[font=Lucida Console]I made my way back to Omega-52 without incident. Several patrols of Wilde ships gave me chase, both in Omega-58 and Omega-55 but I was able to evade them. All sensor data was saved intact, and my ship received minimal damage from both patrols and weapons platforms in the two systems
