Frontier: The Void 2.0
« on: September 23, 2015, 06:29:59 PM »
Chapter 1: Fear, Exploration and the Unknown


It is the dawn of the 23rd Century, and the Third Age of Mankind. After many centuries of growth and progress, the species of the Orion Arm of the Galaxy have left their cradles, and begun expanding among the stars. Already they have established colonies on other worlds, beginning their fledgling empires and expanding their knowledge of the stars. But the galaxy is a large place...and they have much to learn yet, for there is much about the void of space they do not yet know, many wonders and civilizations...and many dangers that lay in the void...



2200 C.E.

The Hague, European Union, Earth





The view from the window was spectacular...the nighttime metropolis of The Hague expanding out towards the sea, even a little beyond it. Alexander Reid, the Director of the Coalition Security Council, just simply stood in his office and enjoyed the view. It had been a long day, meetings with representatives from the New Central American Federation, Brazil, Argentina and the Union of Southeast Asia regarding their plans for colonial expeditions had been long and drawn out. Japan, Israel and Saudi Arabia were already vying for opportunities to expand outside Sol, and the UCNS would be stretched enough as it is with the Coalition's planned second wave of expansion with expeditions to nearby star systems. He would have to play this out carefully, otherwise the other states would just launch their expeditions anyways, with or without the Coalition's help or opinion. As the plan stood now, the Coalition would send out the Enterprise to chart out the nearby systems to assess them for habitability, launching from Epsilon Eridani. Once any habitable systems were discovered, then and only then would Reid greenlight their colonization projects, and even then only to a limited degree. Any human colony had to be within reach of the UCNS, it was the only way to not only keep them within Earth's control, but to protect or help them in case anything went wrong.

Reid yawned, deciding to call it a night. Tomorrow morning he would gather with the rest of the CSC and they would greenlight Enterprise's mission. After that...no doubt he would have further meetings with agitated representatives again. It would be another long day.

A man walked down the halls of the building he resided in. Clutched in his hands was a book. Behind him, a group of children followed him, all bombarding him with questions of curiosity and wonder. He simply laughed off each one, replying with the same 'you'll find out!' phrase to them. The book's title was "The Great Paladin: Kairos".



<<LOCATION: AREA B7R, MEDICAL LAB 1>>

"Sir, the subject! His readings are fluctuating wildly!" One of the bellalux officers said. A group of men, made up of doctors and military officers rushed to a room that had a single tube in it. In that tube, was a human being connected to various equipment suspended in fluid. Several of the doctors began to manipulate equipment and switches, all responding to the great change in his vitals.

"Activity at the being's top is rising! Reading electric waves from it! Pulses from center rising! He's waking up!"

The eyelids of the man slowly blinked

"Where am I?" he thought. The man who floated in the fluid looked around slowly, his body slowed. What he saw would of shocked him, were it not for the fact he felt slow and sedated. The alien creatures all stared in wonder, that the subject they had for years had finally woken up.

Somewhere in the galaxy, in orbit around planet Ishanoth...

"T minus 5 minutes for jump." announces mission control.

The final countdown for the first jump towards uncharted space had started. This would be a fitting occasion for festivities back in the capital, but there was an ennormous sandstorm rolling through the reagion. All festivities would have to be postponed.

"Hope this goes as well as the jumps we made towards our other solar systems. Faster than light travel is sometimes so...finicky." said the commanding officer. There was another exploration vessel being service after its last jump, and it could be called back into active duty at a moment's notice, but it is always best not to lose ships, at all.

>>>The Hague, European Union, Earth

>>>The next day...

The Coalition Security Council along with the heads of the Departments of Global Defence, Space and Colonial Affairs, Foreign and Global Affairs and the Coalition Integrated Intelligence Service had met to discuss the upcoming second wave of colonial expansion. As it stood Japan, Brazil and Central America were close to launching their own colonial expeditions, prompting the Coalition to meet and discuss their options regarding this new development.

The Secretary of Foreign and Global Affairs said "There's no sidestepping the issue, the Japanese, Brazilians and Central Americans have the capability to chart and expand into other systems. They're getting impatient with negotiations and are getting poised to set off on their own, with or without our approval or support. The Treaty of Luna City prohibits independent colonization only within the Sol System and makes no mention of other star systems and they know it. If we let them go off on their own it'll encourage other powers to follow their lead, and then what will happen is you'll see a regression to the pre-Space War political and military climate. Unless we act to regulate interstellar expansion, we'll soon be surrounded by potential enemies, which will make the Space War look mild if hostilities ignite."

"The Secretary is of course correct" said the Director of the CIIS, an illusive and slightly intimidating presence in the room, with a deep Louisianan accent that commanded attention "Japan is the most capable, but also the least likely to turn on us. They currently have observer status and the current government is interested in possible membership in the Coalition. Right now we also know their military had to undergo difficult budget cuts to fund their colonization program, while the opposition party is pushing for greater austerity and caution, and is working to drum up support among the population. A confrontation with us would prove politically and economically disastrous for them right now. The Brazilians and Central Americans however...well, even after the Vox Populi's defeat their still remains considerable anti-Coalition sentiment amongst their populations. Even though both governments lean more towards pro-Coalition, they can't ignore the will of their own people, or another revolt might topple them completely, not to mention destroy their economy. However they are still financially and economically fragile and still recovering, we could use that. We also still have forces deployed in those countries, they should prove a useful leverage."

The Secretary of Space and Colonial Affairs then said "That will change if they successfully get a colonization project off the ground though. Asteroid mining is proving a significant boon to economic recovery, and interstellar colonization will ease the population burden on them, not to mention provide new sources of revenue and resources. If they play their cards right without antagonizing anyone and successfully colonize new systems, we could be seeing them become resurgent in a decade, and then become major economic and military powers in two decades."

General Preston then said "If it comes down to it, the current garrisons in both countries are capable of neutralizing the Brazilian and Central American security forces, so long as we provide them with support, which will be easy as we command complete aerospace supremacy. The hardest task for us will be the subsequent policing actions afterwards. We can count on a long and costly insurgency for years in both countries. We'll have deploy relatively large occupation forces just to maintain law and order and keep any new government in check. Alternatively we could take the less costly options of either preventing colony ships from leaving Earth orbit, or just follow them and occupy their colonies, there wouldn't be much they could do about it either way."

The Security Council deliberated for awhile, weighing all possible options before coming to a decision.

Director Reid said "Alright then, we will rule out the military option for now and focus on political and economic pressure to bring them to our side. The vote is unanimous, we will approach Japan and begin negotiations for their possible membership, while economic pressure will be brought to bear on Brazil and Central America until our second wave project is underway."

With that the meeting was brought to an end and the final clampdown on independent colonization was brought under way.

Hydros, Aquaris
4300 Hydrossi Calander

It was midday at the Imperial Capital. The Emperor Arcio Macello sat on his throne out on the balcony which overlooked the city. On one half, a shoreline which lead to the ocean. On the other a viewing spot on land.

Down below was Ki'Jan as far as the eye could see. Since earlier in the day the gathering had began for the Emperors great announcement. In the crowd below was excitement and anxiousness, but even more so, they were curious. This day had been on the calendar for many a week now and now that it had finally arrived, people by the millions had began to arrive at the castle. Current estimates had the current count at well over a billion, so many that those at the back would have to make due with the video screens around the empire which were set to be taken over for the message from the Emperor.

An hour passed with more and more people entering the area. The Emperor sitting in wait as a telepathic communication came in from his security personnel letting him know that the event is clear to proceed as planned. With the clearance obtained, the event planners jumped into motion telepathically briefing the emperor one last time on how things would be proceeding. Once the emperor was debriefed the event began.

Before anything, the Royal Drones were dispatched, filling the sky to catch the event from every angle possible. With the drones dispatched, every screens in the empire was taken over and a live feed of the royal castle began playing. When the feeds switched over, the Royal Ceremonial tune began to play and what was previously the sound of chatter was soon replaced with silence as all the Ki'Jan stood in attendance. Half way through the tune the Emperor stood to his feet, counted to three then began to walk towards the edge of the balcony where he stood with his hands behind his back. The Royal Ceremonial tune soon transitioned to the National Anthem as the Ki'Jan moved their hands to their hearts and began to sing proudly while the Emperor watched over his subjects.

When the anthem was over, it reverted back to silence.

"My Fellow Arcadonians of our Great Empire. Today is a grand day. For the past several decades we of the Arcadonian Empire have been hard at work growing our empire. Several centuries ago we began with the teraformation and colonization of Vargas by our forefathers, and several decades ago after breaking the key behind faster than light travel, began to explore the cosmos. In that time we had found Leticia, the planet of our dreams, one made entirely of water with a core of ice and not a spec of land nor alternative lifeforms to hold us back. After more time in our travels we then discovered the planet of Salacia which due to its unique climate by nature of being a Super-Hydros world, now handles 40% of our food production with its clean shallow seas and large flat landmasses.

Over the past decade we have expanded alot as a species, and today I am glad to announce that after all this time, our experiment is a success. We have figured out the logistics of handling an interstellar empire, and with our recent technological gains have finalized the logistics and structures needed to further our research into the cosmos. The Ki'Jan has succeeded as a species and now is the time for us to take advantage and prosper!"

Following this remark, the crowd began to cheer loudly, the ground shaking under its collective might and once it died down, the emperor made his final remarks before he would turn things over to the Lords of Leticia and Salacia who would carry the ceremony until he was needed again.

It was time to open a new page in the chapter of the Ki'Jan, and the people were ready for whatever came next.

Thore, Fayoe system

2614 years since the first emperor

Nadya ran through the streets of Thore, his eyes followed the spaceship as it slowly lifted off from the spaceport in the center of the colony. He knew it was a Cruiser, a mighty ship build to defen- Maybe a destroyer after all? To the child's mind it didn't matter, what mattered was that it was a SPACESHIP crewed by hundreds (Or maybe dozens?) of GENIUSES and HEROES. Truly noble Kaveni, entrusted by the emperor himself to uphold peace and justice not only in the Empire, but the entire GALAXY! Nadya wasn't really sure what the difference was though, he seen the a speech where the emperor said all the stars in the universe belonged to the Kaveni. He knew he'd understand later though just like the difference between a Galaxy and the universe, he learned that in school a couple weeks ago.

The spaceship got smaller and smaller as it lifted further up from the surface of Thore, and towards the gas giant that dominated the sky. The ship would probably stop by the Legacy harvesting base that orbited the planet, just like Thorne did, only Legacy base was much closer that made it easier to harvest all the gasses and resources Nadya thought.

Nadya's thoughts switched back to the SPACESHIP, it probably had a awesome name like the emperors fist, or maybe galactic thunder, or his favorite. Gigantic awesome ship of justice and DOOM.

The fenced off borders of the colony became visible, a couple volunteers waved at Nadya from their lookout posts and the child waved back at them. Was that Limya? he thought, the spaceships and cosmic adventures disappeared from his mind. Limya always had CANDY.


KES Woof, corvette
Lifting off from Thore


"Thore ground control, we almost forgot but there was an important message we had to deliver to you bunch of colonials." Spoke a feminine voice from the pilot seat on the bridge of the ship.

"What is it Woof?"

"Here it comes!" A loud fart escaped from the pilot and was transmitted across space to Thore ground control."

"You should get that checked out." Replied Thorne control.

"What?" Asked the pilot "My ass? you wish colonial"

"No, you should get your head checked out."

"Ah, people keep saying that just to make me blush" Giggled the pilot "I know I got a lovely shade of orange on my face, so exotic"

"Nothing is more exotic than we colonials Woof, see you again in a couple weeks. Thorne out."

The crew of the Enterprise calmly performed their final checks as they reached the edge of the system. Ahead of them was their escort, the HMS Lionheart, escorting them until they made their jump at which point the Enterprise would be on its own.

On their comm the captain of the HMS Lionheart said "Lionheart Actual to Enterprise, this is where we peel off. Good luck out there, over and out."

The travel was a long journey, taking 12 days from their initial point at the Epsilon Eridani System.

Upon arriving in system, sensors immediately began to pick up the extreme radiation within the system. Nothing the ship couldn't easily filter out, but would require caution if outside the ships protective field. Aside from this however the system was fairly normal.

2 Terrestrial planets, each with their own moons. One set rather insignificant with both the moon and planet sitting within the inner habitable region, but rather barren with only signs of multi-cellular organisms and flat boorish terrain which hadn't formulated any heavier metals. When eyes passed onto the other though, they came across a lush green world teeming to the brim with Complex Life. It was close to being called a Garden of Eve, but not quite. And while the planet itself was rich in resources, it paled in comparison to the moon which filled the descriptions of the garden perfectly. It had a rich diversity of complex animals and was even more valuable resource wise than the planet, having large caches of valuable heavy metals.

Half way into the system was a sole Comet which was passing by a large colourful Gas Giant with an abundance of extra gas which leaked out of the atmosphere making colourful streaks and rings jetting out into the harsh darkness of space. Just past this and off in the far reaches of the system was another comet. When it came to the comets, both were full in metallic and icy resources.

"Mark this system down for potential colonization" said the Enterprise's Captain "But make sure to tag it as a radiation hazard, radiation levels are way higher than the core systems. We'll let them decide them decide if it's worth trouble."

"Mark this system down for potential colonization" said the Enterprise's Captain "But make sure to tag it as a radiation hazard, radiation levels are way higher than the core systems. We'll let them decide them decide if it's worth trouble."

"I'd risk it" said the ops officer "This place is a goldmine."

"Ready to jump sir" said the nav officer.

The Captain nodded and the countdown began again: "10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...jump."

After 6 days of travel the Enterprise exited FTL only to be hit by multiple waves of radiation on a scale multitudes more extreme than the previous system. With the mixture of exiting FTL and this new wave of sudden radiation, the radiation managed to bypass the ships first wave of defences, wreaking havoc on the second and third stages hitting the computer systems directly. Before the backup radiation scrubbers kicked in, the power began to flick and the radiation could be felt coursing through the bones of the crew members. An explosion could be felt under the deck as one of the power cores exploded by the excess power caused by the radiation.

When the additional scrubbers kicked in, the ships computer systems were a mess, but they hadn't managed to loose any major data. The Power Core was a mess with one of the main generators down from the explosion and a backup generator damaged. The worst though was a huge gash in the power core hull which while thankfully contained, completely decompressed the core.

On the screens of the sensors just sat the readings which came in once everything began to settle down. In the system was a single planet with an orbital ring system. The planet held simple lifeforms in the form of lizards, fish, tiny mammals and birds, with small bushes and shrubbery taking scene. The planet was filled with mountainous regions with a planetary wide ocean and lake system coursing through the lows in the valleys. The more interesting of this though was within the Orbiting Ring system where on a tiny moon, about a quarter of the size of the Earths Moon which while didn't have much in the way of resources, had a full atmosphere which contained forests full of animals and skies full of birds.

In the system was a single Comet filled with Ice and other materials.

On the outer edge of the system was a Gas Planet which oddly enough, sensors picked up signs of complex life which took the forms of large birds and jellyfish filled gas. The Atmosphere of the Gas giant wasn't anything special, just simple oxygen and carbon dioxide and as such wasn't of much value other than life support refueling, but surrounding the Gas Planet was a resource rich moon with an atmosphere and filled with other simple forms of life.

KES Stargazer

Tawe fleet staging area


The exploration ship weaved through space, while it dwarfed besides the hull of the nearby carrier and couldn't outrun the small corvettes and frigates in already mapped space it did have the best scanning equipment the Kaveni empire had developed. It meant that the Stargazer and its sister ship were the most capable ships in the whole fleet to explore unmapped systems.

"We've got a green light from both Hoa ground control and Imperial high command" Reported a communications officer "Engineering is reporting 100% functionality."

The KES Stargazer arrived twelve days later without incident at a binary star system, with one white dwarf and a substar. Immediately upon arrival the Stargazer detected extremely hazardous levels of radiation output from the white dwarf, flooding the system and making any EVA hazardous at best. As the Stargazer swept the system, they found it was abundant with life and resources. Within the habitable zone and nearest to them, they first saw a gas giant with a single large moon, the gas giant having a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, but with a high concentration of benzene and carbon monoxide. The gas giant oddly enough supported some simple lifeforms, jellyfish-like creatures that floated about in the upper layers. The moon itself had a thin atmosphere of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, with deposits of light metals such as aluminum being present.

The substar nearby however was truly remarkable, for not only was it rich in extractable helium-3 as well as hydrogen and helium, but within its narrow habitable zone were two moons brimming with life. Both moons were blue jewels against the black, one having a lush jungle and clear blue sea, while the other had two landmasses that incorporated both tropical and desert-like features that created breath-taking vistas. Both moons as well had a surprisingly large diversity of complex lifeforms of land, sea and air. There were also sizeable deposits of light and heavy metals, in addition to the lumber and herbal resources present as well.

However the system did not cease to amaze yet, as impossibly on the other side of the white dwarf and within the habitable zone was an asteroid belt partially within a cloud of nitrogen and oxygen, with elements of methane and helium. Impossibly some of the larger asteroids within the cloud had formed thin but breathable atmospheres, which supported simple protozoa and beetle-like creatures, though the atmospheres were too thin to breathe without a gas mask for the Kaveni. Diamond and heavy metals were present in the belt, while the helium and methane could be extracted.

However the system saved the best for last, as there was another gas giant further away, a light-blue mass of nitrogen/oxygen with white clouds of moisture and other gasses, in addition to clouds of chlorine that would require a gas mask or enclosed habitat to breathe in, surrounded by two rings and one moon. The gas giant itself supported a fascinating diversity of lighter-than-air lifeforms, from jellyfish-like creatures, to avian-like species and to manta-style predators soaring among the clouds. Deeper within the gas giant were deposits of helium-3 as well as natural gas that were well worth extracting. Orbiting the wondrous gas giant was also a habitable moon, with a full atmosphere of nitrogen-oxygen and a stunning vista of forests and one large grassland, with ponds and plateau's of wheat, rich in lifeforms and farmable land. The inner rings of the gas giant had formed close enough for some of them to form thin atmospheres of nitrogen and oxygen, with simple arachnid and beetle-like creatures inhabiting them, though once again the air was too thin to breathe unimpeded. Finally the outer rings were lifeless, one of the few regions of the system to escape the astounding miracle of life that had transpired in the system. Both rings had few resources to speak of, just a light scattering of metals.

There was a catch to this though, as even though life flourished here, all the worlds and celestial bodies were highly radioactive, the flora and fauna of this system having evolved a high resistance to the radiation. In some cases they even seemed to thrive on it, but despite the strong magnetic fields of some of the moons, any foreign lifeform that ventured out without protection would die of radiation poisoning.

"Status!" barked the Captain as the crew struggled to contain the damage. After hearing the damage report and stabilizing the ship, they quickly but cautiously surveyed the system, acutely aware they needed to head home. After surveying the system, the Captain ordered the jump back to Epsilon Eridani for repairs. The Second Wave Colonization Initiative for now would be put on hold.

Hydros, Aquaris
4300 Hydrossi Calander

It was midday at the Imperial Capital. The Emperor Arcio Macello sat on his throne out on the balcony which overlooked the city. On one half, a shoreline which lead to the ocean. On the other a viewing spot on land.

Down below was Ki'Jan as far as the eye could see. Since earlier in the day the gathering had began for the Emperors great announcement. In the crowd below was excitement and anxiousness, but even more so, they were curious. This day had been on the calendar for many a week now and now that it had finally arrived, people by the millions had began to arrive at the castle. Current estimates had the current count at well over a billion, so many that those at the back would have to make due with the video screens around the empire which were set to be taken over for the message from the Emperor.

An hour passed with more and more people entering the area. The Emperor sitting in wait as a telepathic communication came in from his security personnel letting him know that the event is clear to proceed as planned. With the clearance obtained, the event planners jumped into motion telepathically briefing the emperor one last time on how things would be proceeding. Once the emperor was debriefed the event began.

Before anything, the Royal Drones were dispatched, filling the sky to catch the event from every angle possible. With the drones dispatched, every screens in the empire was taken over and a live feed of the royal castle began playing. When the feeds switched over, the Royal Ceremonial tune began to play and what was previously the sound of chatter was soon replaced with silence as all the Ki'Jan stood in attendance. Half way through the tune the Emperor stood to his feet, counted to three then began to walk towards the edge of the balcony where he stood with his hands behind his back. The Royal Ceremonial tune soon transitioned to the National Anthem as the Ki'Jan moved their hands to their hearts and began to sing proudly while the Emperor watched over his subjects.

When the anthem was over, it reverted back to silence.

"My Fellow Arcadonians of our Great Empire. Today is a grand day. For the past several decades we of the Arcadonian Empire have been hard at work growing our empire. Several centuries ago we began with the teraformation and colonization of Vargas by our forefathers, and several decades ago after breaking the key behind faster than light travel, began to explore the cosmos. In that time we had found Leticia, the planet of our dreams, one made entirely of water with a core of ice and not a spec of land nor alternative lifeforms to hold us back. After more time in our travels we then discovered the planet of Salacia which due to its unique climate by nature of being a Super-Hydros world, now handles 40% of our food production with its clean shallow seas and large flat landmasses.

Over the past decade we have expanded alot as a species, and today I am glad to announce that after all this time, our experiment is a success. We have figured out the logistics of handling an interstellar empire, and with our recent technological gains have finalized the logistics and structures needed to further our research into the cosmos. The Ki'Jan has succeeded as a species and now is the time for us to take advantage and prosper!"

Following this remark, the crowd began to cheer loudly, the ground shaking under its collective might and once it died down, the emperor made his final remarks before he would turn things over to the Lords of Leticia and Salacia who would carry the ceremony until he was needed again.

It was time to open a new page in the chapter of the Ki'Jan, and the people were ready for whatever came next.

Several Weeks had passed since the announcement of the Arcadonian Empire moving forward in its exploration and colonization effort and right now the Empire was in active recruitment. The best pilots, engineers and scientists in the Empire were being recruited for their first major mission since the current Emperor gave his initial approval several decades earlier when he first took the throne.

The Arcadonian Second Exploratory Fleet would be comprised of the best that the empire had to offer so that they were prepared for everything and anything that came their way. In the year leading up to this, a new form of exploratory ship had been in development so that the crew could quickly and easily assess the cosmos with as high accuracy as possible so that the Arcadonian people could spread their great empire and expand to the far reaches of the cosmos

More weeks passed and a crew was selected and weeks later Training had finished with the crew now sitting in Orbit around Aquaris doing final checks before giving the go.


Engineering Reporting.

We Are Ready To Go.


The crew in the command deck turned to the Captains Chair as he was looking over the detailed reports of the ship, ensuring that everything was perfect. He didn't want to waste his crews life so everything had to be. He had been over this a thousand times and had memorized the Ships manual on more than 15 separate occasions to the point where he could recite it from scratch if needed. This crew was the most highly trained in the Arcadonian Empire, and they were ready to head out into the cosmos.

"This is Captain Aelia Natir of the Arcadonian Second Exploratory Fleet. We are clear for launch. Requesting a Flock of Fighters for escort to edge of system" A pause processed while the signal transmitted, meanwhile back at home transmitted throughout the empires planets. From the ground the empire sat in watch as the checks came in and now they were waiting for the request to be granted.

"This is Fleet Admiral Gaius Menas. Request granted. Safe Journeys Arcadonian Second Exploratory Fleet. Do us proud." Once the request was granted, cheers erupted throughout the empire as cameras shifted to several flocks of Fighter Jets being launched from their bays around the system all towards the Arcadonian Second Exploratory Ship. Within minutes they arrived zooming past the ship as she turned on her massive engines and began following them. two of the flocks broke off and came up in formation behind the vessel and two more broke off to go to the sides so that she was completely surrounded.

The ship passed Hydros, then Vargas, then the Asteroid Belt, Gas Giant, Asteroid Belt, Ice planet to make their way to the edge of the system. "This is Lead Fighter. You are clear for exit." The Fighter lead spoke as the front flocks broke off, doing a large circular loop over the top of the ship. Aelia Natir smiled before looking to the crew.

"FTL Drives to Full. For Macello!"

In that instance the ship errupted into a quick flash of light as the forces of going FTL elongated the ship for a moment, and then compressed it as it Flew out of system far beyond the speed of light.

The ASEF arrived in a white star system, where higher than normal levels of radiation output were detected. However so long as the crew remained suited, they could safely EVA for short periods of time. In the system was an asteroid belt, with a gas giant orbiting in the star's habitable zone, which in turn was orbited by a moon and two criss-crossing rings. The asteroid belt had a wide variety of heavy and light metals, as well as significant crystal deposits as well. The gas giant however was the true anomaly, a veritable paradise where there should have been none at all. In the upper atmosphere was a perfect mix of nitrogen and oxygen, with plenty of water in the form of gaseous clouds covering the giant. In terms of life there was little more than floating plankton and algae, but the moon was a different story. Fully habitable with a large sea and a landmass of grassland and prairie, there were plenty of signs of complex life, indicating a fully developed ecosystem. However short of its farming potential, there was little in the way of resources on the moon, just a few moderate metal deposits worth mining. The inner ring of the gas giant were close enough to have inherited a thin layer of the nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, but there was little more than the beginnings of life, just organic compounds with potential. The outer rings had no atmosphere to speak of, but both rings were abundant in metals and crystal, marking them as an excellent source for economic potential, in addition to the large deposits of helium-3 deeper in the gas giant.

Immediately upon arrival the Stargazer detected extremely hazardous levels of radiation output from the white dwarf, flooding the system and making any EVA hazardous at best. As the Stargazer swept the system, they found it was abundant with life and resources. Within the habitable zone and nearest to them, they first saw a gas giant with a single large moon, the gas giant having a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, but with a high concentration of benzene and carbon monoxide. The gas giant oddly enough supported some simple lifeforms, jellyfish-like creatures that floated about in the upper layers. The moon itself had a thin atmosphere of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, with deposits of light metals such as aluminum being present.

The substar nearby however was truly remarkable, for not only was it rich in extractable helium-3 as well as hydrogen and helium, but within its narrow habitable zone were two moons brimming with life. Both moons were blue jewels against the black, one having a lush jungle and clear blue sea, while the other had two landmasses that incorporated both tropical and desert-like features that created breath-taking vistas. Both moons as well had a surprisingly large diversity of complex lifeforms of land, sea and air. There were also sizeable deposits of light and heavy metals, in addition to the lumber and herbal resources present as well.

However the system did not cease to amaze yet, as impossibly on the other side of the white dwarf and within the habitable zone was an asteroid belt partially within a cloud of nitrogen and oxygen, with elements of methane and helium. Impossibly some of the larger asteroids within the cloud had formed thin but breathable atmospheres, which supported simple protozoa and beetle-like creatures, though the atmospheres were too thin to breathe without a gas mask for the Kaveni. Diamond and heavy metals were present in the belt, while the helium and methane could be extracted.

However the system saved the best for last, as there was another gas giant further away, a light-blue mass of nitrogen/oxygen with white clouds of moisture and other gasses, in addition to clouds of chlorine that would require a gas mask or enclosed habitat to breathe in, surrounded by two rings and one moon. The gas giant itself supported a fascinating diversity of lighter-than-air lifeforms, from jellyfish-like creatures, to avian-like species and to manta-style predators soaring among the clouds. Deeper within the gas giant were deposits of helium-3 as well as natural gas that were well worth extracting. Orbiting the wondrous gas giant was also a habitable moon, with a full atmosphere of nitrogen-oxygen and a stunning vista of forests and one large grassland, with ponds and plateau's of wheat, rich in lifeforms and farmable land. The inner rings of the gas giant had formed close enough for some of them to form thin atmospheres of nitrogen and oxygen, with simple arachnid and beetle-like creatures inhabiting them, though once again the air was too thin to breathe unimpeded. Finally the outer rings were lifeless, one of the few regions of the system to escape the astounding miracle of life that had transpired in the system. Both rings had few resources to speak of, just a light scattering of metals.

There was a catch to this though, as even though life flourished here, all the worlds and celestial bodies were highly radioactive, the flora and fauna of this system having evolved a high resistance to the radiation. In some cases they even seemed to thrive on it, but despite the strong magnetic fields of some of the moons, any foreign lifeform that ventured out without protection would die of radiation poisoning.
"Whoa" Gasped the pilot as scanning officers started to convey the enormous list of resources and potential that this system has to the crew of the Stargazer.

"There are more resources here then in Tawe and the colonies combined!" Exclaimed the Captain "And look at all the life! This is unheard of even in the most optimistic projections!"

"There is still the radiation of course but with an incentive like this I have no doubt that the scientists back home are already jumping with ideas how to counter it."

Down in the lower decks of the Exploration ship the engineering crew was looking at the same images. "I can already imagine myself living down there" Said one of them "We all know how we rushed to colonize Thorne and Alka's March. Now look at those moons! The colonies are barren rocks compared to them!"

The KES Stargazer remained in the system for the next couple days, taking in all the details the Kaveni safely could from behind the thick hull of their ship. Finally on the eight day in the system the captain gave the order to jump to the next system.

The KES Stargazer arrived in record time, arriving at a trinary star system, with a blackhole located near the centre. The first thing they saw was the system's outer asteroid belt, abundant in heavy and light metals, as well as some interesting chemical compunds located on the larger ones. A little further in the system and orbiting the main phase red star's habitable zone, was a habitable moon located near a ring surrounding the star. The moon was covered in lush jungle, with crater-lakes and rivers dotting its surface. There were complex lifeforms on the surface, including what looked to be a species of giant arachnid, located deep within the jungle. The ring and moon itself had abundant deposits of metals and crystal, including a heavily magnetic metal on the moon that seemed to defy gravity. Despite the oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere however, the presence of sulfur dioxide made gas masks mandatory for breathing.

Orbiting the substar, which itself was abundant in extractable helium-3, were another habitable moon overshadowed by the ring circling the substar. This moon seemed to have a perfect atmosphere, with no detectable substances impeding open breathing on the surface. The moon was a vibrant green and white, with a deep icy blue ocean making up one-third of the surface. On the surface were majestic forests while the arctic tundra's located further north and south, provided breathtaking sights of natural ice formations. However despite the perfectness, it appeared that nothing beyond bacteria had developed on the world, meaning food supplies would have to be shipped in or grown. Both the ring and the moon however held abundant deposits of crystals and metals, including a near limitless supply of pure, clean water from the moon's tundra's.

Further in on the other side of the red star was a planet, about half the size of Hoa, with a thin but just breathable atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen. The planet was nothing like the moons, with little more than lichen and moss dotting its surface, but there were sizeable deposits of heavy and light metals, which alone likely made colonization worthwhile. Nearby the planet was a cloud of methane, ethane and helium, which affected the planet's atmosphere enough to cause some interesting phenomena, as well as being reasonably extractable with the right equipment. Near the centre of the system however was a moderately sized blackhole...ever so slowly over the centuries pulling the system in towards it. Orbiting the hungry mass was a moon and a once circular ring of orbit debris, likely all that remained of a moon or planet. Neither had life or atmosphere, both likely taken by the blackhole eons ago.

Most curious however was an artificial planet, or more accurately an artificial ringworld orbiting one of the substars. Despite a thin atmosphere there was life on the world, though no indications of sentient life. Whatever had built this world was long gone, but it was clear their engineering remained. A ring of debris also surrounded the ringworld, with simple bacteria having developed within the rocks.

On the other side of the two substars remained a planet, four moons, a gas giant surrounded by two rings and another gas cloud. Neither of the remaining bodies were capable of supporting life, with the moon of the remaining planet uninhabitable due to its proximity to the substar, the heat scorching the surface. However both the planet and moon were heavy in metals, an economic goldmine, while the remaining bodies also had much in extractable resources. This system was the biggest find yet, but was it worth the risk?

Just then the KES Stargazer started picking up errant radio signals, emanating from deep space. They were garbled and the language was not any Kaveni dialect.

The ASEF arrived in a white star system, where higher than normal levels of radiation output were detected. However so long as the crew remained suited, they could safely EVA for short periods of time. In the system was an asteroid belt, with a gas giant orbiting in the star's habitable zone, which in turn was orbited by a moon and two criss-crossing rings. The asteroid belt had a wide variety of heavy and light metals, as well as significant crystal deposits as well. The gas giant however was the true anomaly, a veritable paradise where there should have been none at all. In the upper atmosphere was a perfect mix of nitrogen and oxygen, with plenty of water in the form of gaseous clouds covering the giant. In terms of life there was little more than floating plankton and algae, but the moon was a different story. Fully habitable with a large sea and a landmass of grassland and prairie, there were plenty of signs of complex life, indicating a fully developed ecosystem. However short of its farming potential, there was little in the way of resources on the moon, just a few moderate metal deposits worth mining. The inner ring of the gas giant were close enough to have inherited a thin layer of the nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, but there was little more than the beginnings of life, just organic compounds with potential. The outer rings had no atmosphere to speak of, but both rings were abundant in metals and crystal, marking them as an excellent source for economic potential, in addition to the large deposits of helium-3 deeper in the gas giant.

Upon arriving in the system, the ship surveyed the area. Taking down notes of all of the potential possibilities, and while the small atmospheric moon of the Gas Planet was an excellent find, being scientists, the crew was more interested in the lifeforms within the gas giant itself. While only plancton and algae, its existence confirmed several different theories about life itself and the various forms it could take. The discovery was breathtaking and they marked the discovery for further research before leaving the system a couple days later

Just then the KES Stargazer started picking up errant radio signals, emanating from deep space. They were garbled and the language was not any Kaveni dialect.

The bridge of the Stargazer was blistering with activity, the deep space radio signal took everyone off guard and a lot of the officers were nervous being so close to a black hole. When the scanning operators  started to report on how unbelievably rich the system was it added only more fuel to the barely controlled chaos.

In the midst of it all captain Beyla tried his best to keep the situation organized. "Communication, make sure you've got that signal backed up, we need to let the brains back home get a good look at this. Scanning, keep listing those results, especially on that Artificial Planet I don't know how long we can stay in the system."

Only after he had given his orders did Captain Beyla turn to his scientific adviser.

"Do you think the black hole will have any significance influence if we decide to settle this system?"

"Do you think the black hole will have any significance influence if we decide to settle this system?"

The scientific adviser thought for a moment, before saying "In the long-term absolutely, in a few centuries this entire system will be gone. In the short-term however...well the blackhole certainly has a significant gravitational influence. I would advise staying away from the bodies closest to it, the time dilation would be too great. I would imagine the other worlds would suffer some mild atmospheric interference, as well as a sense of time dilation the closer you get. Over time the colonists will begin to experience time at a gradually increased rate. I would say two centuries before the blackhole has a severe impact on them. Perhaps we should hold off on full-scale colonization."

In orbit around the blackhole was simply a gas giant and a single moon, all that remained of a possibly larger system. The gas giant held nothing of interest, just some basic gasses that proved of minimal value. The moon was heavy in metal ores, but was dangerously close to the blackhole, any explorers or colonists would experience extreme time dilation and gravitational distortion if they approached it.

As the crew arrived in system, they were absolutely in awe at the sight of Hawking radiation signatures coming up on the sensors from the center of the system. The system was dark, and the only signs of planetary bodies that could be seen was the little signatures coming up on the sensors. Up until now, blackholes were theory, and yet here was one sitting right in front of their eyes

The crew was awed that in all of their years of searching they hadn't found this Blackhole which was literally just outside the borders of Arcadonian Territory just the next system over from Aquaris. Immediately the science crews went to work doing any and all research they could with their tools to learn as much of black holes as possible for the teams at home to learn about blackholes.

After a day of research, the crew decided to move on. This trip was proving to be a great benefit to the Arcadonian People.
