TripTik147.5 Expedition Highlights

Introduction

Class 5 wormhole systems occupy an isolated layer of Anoikis and contain an extensive variety of cosmic sites scattered throughout each system. Combat anomalies appear immediately in the Probe Scanner’s Anomalies tab and do not require scanning, while data and relic sites must first be located with core probes. Together, these signatures form the standard landmarks found across Class 5 space.

Locations

• Combat Anomalies

Class 5 systems present 4 combat centric sites. Current capsule technology allows immediate identification of these sites and does not require any form of scanning.

Core Garrison

Orthrus sentry towers and a small group of frigates lie in wait here. Aside from the Sleeper drones this site is exclusively Talocan in construction. Aside from the Talocan Observation Domes to the Reactor Spire the true giveaway is the Talocan Static Gate crowned in a glowing cloud of blue gases and, 130 km away, a spatial rift hanging in space.

Core Stronghold

In the shadow of massive Veldspar asteroids this Talocan site sits dead in space. The central Silo links two Extraction Units. The lack of activity in the two Static gates is what truly makes this Talocan site feel like the ruin it is. Orthrus sentry towers and a small collection of frigates sit here ready to defend the site from intruders.

Oruze Osobnyk

A complex structure that takes the typical Sleeper Enclave ring configuration and adds a Sleeper Enclave structure off the main plane of construction. The large numbers of Engineering Stations raises questions as to what exactly these sites were trying to accomplish.

Quarantine Area

An extensive Talocan site patrolled by a mixed fleet of frigates, cruisers and battleships in conjunction with Orthrus sentry towers. Oddly the Talocan Static Gate is powered down, or at least does not exhibit the typical energetic cloud of other Static gates. Looming in the background sits a Talocan Disruption Tower. Ship systems will be able to pick up a short recording from a time when this site was capable of enforcing the quarantine.

“You have entered a quarantine area. This region is infected. Leave now.”

“Violation of the quarantine will result in –"

“ –missiles are armed, ready to –“

Data/Relic Cosmic Signatures

Requiring scanning equipment these sites tend to lie within 4 AU of the various celestial sites in Anoikis systems. The distinction between Data and Relic sites lies in the ancient remnants found scattered about the sites.

• Data Sites

Unsecured Frontier Enclave Relay

A small cohort of battleships guard this beautiful site. An intact Sleeper Enclave with a full ring of Sleeper Multiplex Forwarders sits a score of kilometers from a ring of menhirs roughly 50 m in diameter. While ship computers refer to the ring as a henge the lack of "horizontal" joining megaliths really makes this more of a ring of standing stones. The ring encircles a small central orb that pulses, and occasionally erupts, with a blue light.

The entire site sits wrapped in two clouds. A buzzing nest of blue lights in one and dark dust in the other.

Further, on occasion, a Talocan battleship may be found sitting high in the site.

Unsecured Frontier Server Bank

Frigates and cruisers ply the space here. The Sleeper station, a combination of derelict thermoelectric Converters and Preservation Conduits, sits just outside a massive debris field filled with a large station battery and multiple engine drive pieces. Some sites also sport a Talocan ship in the vicinity.

• Relic Sites

Forgotten Core Data Field

Similar to a Class 1's Unsecured Perimeter Information Center, this site sits alone in space surrounded only by a host of Sleeper drones. The Sleeper Enclave still glows the classic blue and the Thermoelectric Converters continue to power the empty site.

Forgotten Core Information Pen

Sleeper battleships sit between Sleeper artifacts and a small construction lacking a central Sleeper Enclave. The entire site sits inside a cloud of diffuse gas dotted with smaller concentrated gas clusters. The effect gives the pilot the feeling of sitting inside its own small galaxy of stars.
