Fellow Capsuleers
While the Triglavian menace continues, their possible relationship to the Drifters remains an important topic of research. Signal Cartel and the Arataka Research Consortium concluded Operation Jove Observatory Healthcare in order to update and double-check the common lists of Jove Observatories sighted in k-space systems. The Observatories also mark the systems where unidentified wormholes into the Drifter Hive systems might appear. Today we provide to you the latest list of Confirmed Jove Observatories for further research or exploration. Since we saw several Jove Observatories salvaged and ultimately destroyed in the past, the list is an ongoing project and will see further updates in the future.
Further Background
Over the last quarter of YC121, ARC took a closer look at the unidentified wormholes, connecting k-space to the five Drifter Hive systems. During Project JuRE we discovered some anomalies in the data we had gathered, regarding the position and distribution of Jove Observatories. However, we put that aside for the time being.
Last month, the Jove Observatories suddenly came back on our agenda. During Operation Unveil, when we were hunting for Triglavian Stellar Accelerators, one pilot discovered by accident that the list of Jove Observatories we usually used showed a significant number of wrong entries. That was when we decided to no longer tolerate these aggregated inconsistencies.
In collaboration with Signal Cartel we compared all the common lists publicly available and double-checked them for contradictions and wrong entries. This includes the lists provided by Schildwall, Zekariis, ARC’s projects mentioned above, and others.
I want to thank all of the restless pilots who checked over 1,400 systems in a four day period. My special thanks go to the top scouts Mako Koskanaiken, Void Raven, Aldar Roanaok, Palis Airuta, Moth Eisig, Alicia Kaundur and Ashterothi. They all flew the friendly and dangerous skies to gather the data.
Ways to contribute
While we consider our results reliable, the investigation of reports on dis- or re-appearing , even wandering, Jove Observatories continues. Also, we hope to glean some information on the early days of their decloaking through the comparison of different Jove Observatory lists. But those topics are of academic interest.
As you can see from the Confirmed Jove Observatories list above, some old records still need to be reviewed. Also, we plan to comb through every region, system by system, since we have many unconfirmed negative observations.
Feel free to contact me if you want to contribute in some way. I gladly discuss with you the details of what still needs to be checked and what not. This specifically addresses newly licensed capsuleers whom we offer a reward for their help. The old fox is also welcome, of course.
Sincerely,
Haria Haritimado
