Open Transmission from Tau-23

To All Traders and Money-Makers Alike

---

Ikarus Storage Facility 03 houses Niobium Ore in Tau 23, for traders across all of Sirius.

The Junkers aren't in it for the profit, they want to have a new foothold. New commodities, new trades, and new business with whoever comes forward. Most of their influence is isolated within Liberty, and today they arrive in the Taus. The Junkers goal here to simply expand their influence across Sirius and be a presence hidden in plain sight.

Their purpose here is to have a base to gather and ship Niobium Ore back to Puerto Rico to maintain their assets. The nearby Outcast homeworld loves the fact there's an outpost selling the Ore, rather than them working for it themselves, so this keeps Cali and ISF_03 happy.

Story:

A junker named Venk with a ship designated JK-46, decided to painstakingly move Hull Segments, Reinforced Alloys and other resources one at a time into Tau 23. He left everything suspended in space until everything was there. Over the years, the Outcasts stole and pillaged from this unprotected suspended lot of loot, not knowing it was a Junker leaving these resources there.

Eventually, JK-46 got everything in place, so he got to work.

After taking a few months of welding and piecing together the communications array, he noticed something wasn't quite right. The Station's designation was "Kusari Storage Facility 03"... but the exterior panels showing the name were welded in the wrong order. So thus, the station was reprogrammed to show as Ikarus, and was finally opened to the residents of Sirius.

Base Exports Niobium Ore $2000

From Mr. Venk. Owner of ISF_03.

After some time, JK-46 has fell silent. No one got any communications, and no traders came through Tau-23. No one knows what happened to Venk. One day, a new manager came along and claimed ownership of the base, seeing as it was still in perfect working order.

Ikarus Station

Ikarus Station
Ikarus Station is a stellar observatory and research hub located in the Tau-23 system. Under the administration of the Starlight Research Consortium, the station regularly monitors the anomaly nearby for any activity and acts as a warning station for any unusual activity. The station also acts as a port of call for various groups and organizations within the sector for any research opportunities. The Research Liner Sol has taken up temporary residence in the system on the other side of the anomaly--enroute to their next permanent port of call.


Rumors swirl that a treasure trove of data exists aboard Ikarus from stellar anomaly cataloguing as well as secrets best left forgotten. The truth of this is mired in rumor, hearsay, and lies...yet the rumors persist.

Scientific Data

---

In order to fund certain aspects of our research, we often will sell off innocuous and safe parts of our research for Sirius at large to utilize as they see fit. This serves a dual purpose. One, it funds many aspects of the day to day operations of SLRC as well as funds many of our other research projects that aren't open to the public. Two, it lifts up Sirius at large to benefit from certain aspects of our research to aid us to stand on the shoulders of giants and grow to understand our place in Sirius.

We will sell units of this data for 25.000SC each.
