Commander Adrella//SJCS Magellan//3307-08-09 - Col 359 Sector OC-T C4-15 survey
09 Aug 2021Adrella
After setting down in the last system for a little R&R, I decided it was time to continue with my survey. I headed off for the latest system, which turned out to be a Y-type star. I ran a quick check of my route calculations and noticed the star type filter hadn't been implemented, meaning I was jumping to non-scoopable stars. While I was only on 50% of reserves, I decided to change my settings, just to make things a little easier.Arriving in the C4-15 system, I decided to survey its three stars:
A: G-type star
- A1: HMC, no atmosphere, fast orbit of 4.5 days, expired distress beacons detected
A2: HMC, no atmosphere, nothing of interest
A3: HMC, no atmosphere, expired distress beacons detected, marked for recovery teams
A4: HMC, no atmosphere, expired beacons detected, recorded for recovery teams
- A: Rocky, sulphur dioxide atmosphere, silicate magma, extremely close orbit to parent planet at 1.5 days per rotation
Picked up live distress signals, headed to the moon to search for survivors, but turned out it was an echo from an expired beacon from A4
Two gas giants orbiting between A and B stars
- AB1: Gas giant with rings, hydrogen/helium, six moons, serendibite, alexandrite and musgravite hotspots
- A: Rocky moon, carbon dioxide atmosphere, biological signals detected
Discovered turquoise concha labiata and emerald frutexa acus at -6.07 by -138.62, emerald bacterium aurasus at -4.5 by -153.4. The tussock proved to be too annoying to find
B: Rocky, no atmosphere, nothing of interest
C: Rocky, no atmosphere, nothing of interest
D: Rocky, no atmosphere, nothing of interest
E: Rocky, no atmosphere, nothing of interest
F: Rocky, no atmosphere, nothing of interest
- AB2: Gas giant, hydrogen/helium, five moons, major axial tilt of -105 degrees
- A: Rocky, no atmosphere, two geological points of interest, geysers and fumaroles. Not interesting enough to conduct a landing
B: Rocky, no atmosphere, nothing of interest
C: Rocky, no atmosphere, nothing of interest
D: Rocky, no atmosphere, nothing of interest
E: Rocky, no atmosphere, nothing of interest
- B1: No atmosphere, fast orbit of 3.3 days
B2: HMC, no atmosphere, fast orbit of 7.1 days, expired beacons detected, marked for
B3: HMC, no atmosphere, nothing of interest
B4: HMC, no atmosphere, nothing of interest, orbits B5 in 1.5 days
B5: HMC, no atmosphere, geological features detected
Headed down to the surface, landed at -11.5855 bu -64.5145 after a fly-by, seeing lava flows and geysers. Discovered lava spouts and sulphur geysers
C: M-type star (120k Ls from AB2)
- C1: HMC, carbon dioxide atmosphere, nothing of interest
C2: HMC, carbon dioxide atmosphere, nothing of interest
C3: Ice, nitrogen atmosphere, nothing of interest
C4: Rocky ice, nitrogen atmosphere, in orbit of C3, nothing of interest
C5: Ice, methane atmosphere, nothing of interest
C6: Ice, rings, neon atmosphere, nothing of interest
Unfortunately, during my journey to the third star, a malfunction in the AFMU attempted a repair of the FSD. This had a catastrophic consequence, ejecting my from supercruise at 500c-plus. Luckily, the hull suffered only minor damage, but all modules were damaged by around 10%.
I pulled up my charts and searched for a nearby safe harbour. As luck would have it, CMDR AtvReaper350 had a carrier in the Wredguia LI-Z C27-29 A system. I plotted a course and made my way to it for repairs. I did a scan on the way in and discovered that AB2 had LTDs in its rings. After conducting repairs, I left the carrier, conscious I didn't want to accidentally be taken to it's next location.
After settling into an orbit around AB2 and putting the ship in a slow spin to similulate gravity, I settled in for the night.
