Amata LireinPeople who watch my gallery know that I'm currently visiting all the INRA sites that have been located so far, and one detail made me wonder:
We know that Jameson started his attackrun on the Thargoids in 12 Trianguli from Taylor Keep, but crashed on HIP 12099 1b, just one moon away from another INRA facility (Stack). We know his Cobra got sabotaged to make sure he won't return to report to the galaxy that INRA commited genocide using a bioweapon, it stands to reason that a com signal from Stack was used to trigger the ship's shutdown.
This means that in order to get to his target and then back to base (as this was the mission he got briefed on) he had to fly by Stack even on his way towards his target.
Now what I'm wondering is: Is there a tool somewhere to extend the line from 12 Trianguli to HIP 12099 so we could narrow down the systems where this battle that ended the First Thargoid War took place? As far as I know that battle site and the remains of that Thargoid "hive ship" Jameson attacked have not been found yet after all...
Well then, out of boredom I flew back to Taylor Keep, then headed to Jameson's crashsite and then studied the map a bit to see if I could narrow down where this battlesite might be located at, and I think it's a safe bet to say that it's somewhere in the border region between the Aries Dark Region and the Pleiades Sector... which is still a rather large area of space. Anyone having an idea how to narrow it down a bit more?
