This is a mission for the syndicate states. This will greatly improve your standings with them.
This mission is open to all captains and can be done be taken up by as many people who are willing to do it.
---------------------
*****OPEN TRANSMISSION****
This is Officer Ranlith of the Syndicate States.
As most of you know, we recently reached a turing point in our struggle with the Servants of Baal. With the capture of the SoB indoctrination facility the Baalites have pulled back and are fortifying their positions. This gives us a unique opportunity to push outwards and re-explore the surrounding sectors.
Over the last few decades of this war the Syndicate States has lost contact with and track of many colonies and outposts. Basically we do now know who, or what is left alive out there.
The Syndicate States is putting out an open call to all pilots to help map the surrounding systems. We need to know the locations of Sentinel factory relays(shops), note able stations and even SoB fortifications.
We will reward you in kind for your service. Contact your local Syndicate State representative for more detail.
****END TRANSMISSION*****
Post pictures and locations of cool things you find. Anything you find must be 4 SYSTEMS away from any syndicate territory in order to receive credit. The bigger the find, the bigger the reward.

Recovered from Deathonator reconstruction and eager to leave the junk heap that had been a temporary refugee camp for herself and hundreds of others recently rescued, Vex listened to the mission with a grin on her face. While these Baalites were definitely going to cause problems for her in her new home, they had at the same time provided her just the opportunity she'd been hoping for in her previous young life ... Adventure.
Putting on her fresh new Syndicate States Jumpsuit, she aimed her comb at her reflection in the mirror like a laser gun and said: "All Systems Go Vex... Time to go sign up for a Research Crew and get a new Utility Ship. The stars are calling your name!"

*****INCOMING LOGISTICS TEAM TRANSMISSION**** Sat. images upl0ad1ng now ... Systems adjacent to Secured Indoctrination Station are teeming with both SoB and neutral potential ... Report Follows ... First encouraging find: Found POI: Damaged Warp Gate Beta System / Sector: *Classified* Faction Claim: Heliotrope Research on behalf of: Syndicate States **Until Such time as Corporate Sponsorship is obtained and Gate License Transferred** Notes: "There is yet hope for the future of our people! The area around this Warp Gate has some asteroid presence, suggesting this derelict was hit hard by natural Galactic causes though additional light cannon damage is evident supporting Baalite destruction theory. We have begun work clearing the immediate space of asteroids in anticipation of construction crew arrivals into the system for repairs and refurbishment."
Salvage Crew: Isobel Vexare Salvage Vessel: ISS "Grasp" / Black Line Utility Ship Summary: "We will upload hostile entity info (Baalite presence nearby this sector) as well as other stations found recently in the next transmission or upon request. The Grasp and her crew will continue onward to new systems. Please contact Cpt. Vex for neutrality and licensing of this Gate should it be deemed worthy of resource investment and reactivation into a new gate network.
Regards,
HR / ISS / Vex"

(Just a quick question: How do I hide the interface? I just can't manage to do that.) I haven't found a command key to do that either. My pictures are just me editing / cropping out the UI at the bottom.

*****INCOMING LOGISTICS TEAM TRANSMISSION**** More image uploading along with classified report regarding logistics of a fully functional warpgate requiring Syndicate States assistance immediately. Found POI-1: Solar Outpost Station (Decayed but intact) System / Sector: -23, -1, -19 / -363, -7, -290 Faction Claim: Heliotrope Research on behalf of: Black Line Companies / Syndicate States Notes: This Station is very well assembled and holds great potential for the right company holding within SS. We have secured it under Heliotrope Research temporarily until a suitable SS Corporate sponsor is assigned to colonize and crew this station (See Image):
Found POI-2: *FUNCTIONAL* Abandoned Warp Gate System / Sector: Classified Faction Claim: Heliotrope Research on behalf of: Black Line Companies / Syndicate States Notes: This rare and fully functional Warp Gate is located in a high transportation and logistic critical System. Immediate Comm Link with BLC / SS Leadership Requested for private consultation on this particular point of interest. Please Advise. (See Image:) Baalite Scouting Report: We have located and reported the sectors for over a dozen or more Baalite Warp Relay, Command Spires, Outposts and Stations. Due to the Grasp's non-combat status, we were unable to get close enough to get very good images except for the one that destroyed us. Due to a miscalculated jump - we came FAR too close to that one for anyone's comfort no matter how pretty the shot. Here it is: Images with confirmed System / Sector locations can be sent privately in a separate file upon request to SS Defense Departments. Please Advise. This Report Prepared by: Salvage Crew: Isobel Vexare Salvage Vessel: ISS "Grasp" / Black Line Utility Ship Regards, HR / ISS / Vex" ****END TRANSMISSION*****

*****NEW TRANSMISSION*****
This is pilot Erik Weyland. While on a standard mining run, I detected a strange object on the sensor arrays. Upon closer inspection, I found a Servants of Baal outpost in the approximate region of Sector -310 21 -442, System -20 1 -28. It appears to be unguarded and only lightly armed with primitive turrets. A total of 10 turrets have been recorded. There is no fighter or cruiser activity in the area. I'd suggest a preemptive strike on the station before it receives reinforcements.
Submitter: Erik Weyland
Vessel: Caudaceus Medical Field Recovery & Support Vessel (Custom)

(On another note, anyone know how to upload a screenie on this forum?)

***New Transmission*** This is Captain Alex Lyons of the SR-302 Arcadia. I am uploading a report of a derelict station you could make use of now. Station Report Location Sector / System: -295, 32, -394 / -19, 2 ,-25 Station Class: Warpgate theta Notes: Station is moderate damage with the Warp system taking the brunt of the damage and is offline. Personal recommendation is that repairs and reactivation of this gate would give a strategic foothold for your fleets into this system. Lyons out. ***End Transmission***

Subject 1. "Zeno Station Alpha" This is Pilot Erik Weyland. I've found a station in sector **CLASSIFIED** that could interest you. It's a Zeno Station Alpha that is still mainly operational. From an observational perspective it appears to be a refueling or resupply depot of some sort. It has suffered only minor damage, with all facilities fully intact. Damage is limited to a few AMC bullet holes and a small breach on one of the 8 tanks. The tanks are filled with huge amounts of disintegrators; I'm truly amazed how it's not a cloud of cubatoms and smoke yet. With a little bit of repair and maintenance this station could become a decent rest stop for travellers or a resupply depot for the military.
Facilities: Living quarters for about 10-20 crew Elevators 1 large docking bay 147730 shield capacity 303 shield regen 945823 power capacity 14430 power regen A lot of disintegrators.
Picture taken from camera drone.
Subject 2: Derelict Station Eta An extremely promising and exciting find. Position classified until further notice. A vast, abandoned military fortress complex with NO signs of damage or battle whatsoever. It has at least three docking ports and incredible facilities. I was unable to map the station completely, but I believe that if we reclaim it it could become an incredible asset as an outpost against further Baalite attacks. Defences include a massive energy cannon of unknown type mounted upon the hangar bay and incredibly tough armour, likely carbon composite or perhaps something even more exotic. The builder seems to have had quite the classical taste. It should be easy to reclaim, seeing as the closest Baalite presence in the area is a small outpost 24 km away.
Picture taken from LS Gryphon's guncam.
Subject 3: Ghost Station Alpha Large civilian corporate station. Possesses at least 2 large interior hangar bays and a large living complex. It is, again, completely intact. Estimated to have more than 60 rooms suitable for life support. It also posses a shop, though unstocked. I was only able to provide an observational report due to increasing Baalite activity within the area. A logo containing a "T" is emblazoned on the side. Though slightly risky because of the Baalite outpost about 10km away, it could be used to house refugees once the Baalite outpost is eliminated, as well as support Derelict Eta above due to it's proximity (14km). Position classified for now.

Subject 1: Servants of Baal Warp Relay Epsilon Pilot Erik Weyland reporting again. Looks like I'm on a roll. Anyways, down to business. This find was a little more worrying than the others; A SoB warp relay. Armed with 16 turrets but with no sign of any patrol craft. I couldn't take any photographs due to the hostile nature of the station, but I have recorded its approximate coordinates: Sys -322 19 -439 Sec -21 1 -28. Give 'em hell.
Subject 2: Derelict Sentinel Monolith Alpha A stranger find. Some sort of giant, hulking steel rod smack-bang in the middle of nowhere. No idea what it is or what it does, but here's the recon photo..
Subject 3: Derelict Sentinel Monolith Alpha
Another one of these things. Didn't bother to take a photo, I've got better things to do than sit all day and photograph giant rods. ...That came out wrong.
Subject 4: Massacre Station God dammit. Another graveyard station. Massive missile and cannon damage. Must have come from the nearby SoB Warp relay...
Subject 5: Servants of Baal Warp Relay Alpha Damn rats are all over the place. Long range recon, no photos but I do have coords. System -323 21 -439 Sector -21 1 -28. They need to die.
Subject 6: Shard Gate Delta Finally, something positive! A rare, almost completely intact but fully functional warpgate that we could use to further excursions into the unknown. Damage is limited only to small bullet holes and dents on the outer plating from AMC fire. No interior systems have suffered damage; operational capability seems to have been unaffected. Coords have been recorded.
Subject 7: Servants of Baal Depot More of the buggers. How do they spread so fast? Coords are -328 17 -446, 21 1 -28. No photos.
Well, that's it I suppose. Time to return to station and give my self a bit of rest.

((Just want to say good find on that Zeno Station - I've been exploring like crazy and haven't seen that one yet. I did find a gorgeous solar collector station which Black Line has now made headquarters by Carnasis. I'll try to find time to post some pics this weekend. I really like finding the 'rare' ones. The Zeno would make someone a great small base or "re-fueling station".))
