Commander Adrella//SJCS Magellan//3308-02-10 - Wregoe WY-S C3-6 survey

10 Feb 2022Adrella
After completing my survey of Wregoe WK-D B8-2, I headed for the nearby system of Wregoe WY-S C3-6. While scanned by a Commander called 'Shfty', this system also hadn't been mapped.

A quaternary system, with two sets of stars orbiting each other and 12 planets in offset orbits to them, this system has a lot of scientific information to offer, but little worth. It was curious, though, how the CD star set's planets were orbiting in an almost perpendicular angle to the AB order of rotation. So, I decided to map it. If this is on the edge of Thargoid space, having such data may help us understand the areas they do and don't colonise.

C3-6 A: Class K star
C3-6 B: Class M star
> AB 1: HMC, CO2 atmosphere, biological traces of Stratum detected.
- Headed down to the planet and catalogued Stratum Tectonicas Lime.
>> AB 1 A: Rock, no atmosphere, nothing of interest detected.
> AB 2: Rock, CO2 atmosphere, nothing of interest detected.
> AB 3: Rock/Ice, argon atmosphere, nothing of interest detected.
>> AB 3 A: Ice, no atmosphere, nothing of interest detected.
> AB 4: Ice, methane atmosphere, nothing of interest detected.

The secondary star pair were 20k Ls away, so I got the computer to plot an orbit course ensuring it wouldn't matter if I stepped away. I tended to some chores around the house while the computer did its work. My first port of call was CD 8, moving within the system as I went.

C3-6 C: Class L dwarf star
C3-6 D: Class T dwarf star
> CD 1: Ice, no atmosphere, expired distress beacons and wreckage found.
> CD 2: Ice, no atmosphere, expired distress beacons detected.
> CD 3: Ice, no atmosphere, wreckage detected.
> CD 4: Ice, no atmosphere, expired distress beacons detected.
> CD 5: Ice, methane atmosphere, nothing of interest.
> CD 6: Ice, methane atmosphere, expired distress beacons detected.
>> CD 6 A: Ice, methane atmosphere, nothing of interest
-- Also curious to this system, the moon of CD 6 was also at a perpendicular orbit to the rest of the planetary bodies.

> CD 7: Ice, methane atmosphere, nothing of interest detected.
> CD 8: Ice, argon atmosphere, biological traces of bacterium detected.
- I was unable to find bacterium samples, so gave up. Another commander with more patience can look for that if they wish.



-----------

Annoyingly, I'd forgotten about the star map. I don't actually need to catalogue my findings, I can just link to the star map and make notes of any particularly interesting findings.
