Status update:
Refugee camp and transport trailhead is operational in Tisot, on the SoE station, as advertised. We are reasonably well-stocked and have more resources that can be brought down from high security space as necessary.
The area appears desolate and ill-managed, with Blood Raider and other pirate activity, and very little rule of law enforced beyond the whims of local nobility. Molden Heath is civilized, in comparison. Consequently, the majority of individuals who have come to us for aid during the initial stages of setup and spread of information have not been from the affected Anath itself, but from surrounding areas and stations. This is certainly fine and we encourage persons in need for basic aid or transport to more secure areas to keep on attempting contact.
As reported by several sources by now, our observations also seem to confirm that human habitation on Anath II is mostly gone. A low number of individuals have survived by sheer Luck and Fate, or by having been off the colonies during the attack. (Any individuals coming to contact with us will contact their kin / friends / authorities themselves; we do not give out identities to third parties.)
From what intelligence we have, the situation on Anath IV appears relatively stable (compared to the consequences of these attacks in better-off places such as for example Thebeka or Alkabsi). We are in contact with certain locals that have found it difficult or impossible to receive necessary aid from local authorities / aid groups and have provided some relief and/or rescue. Massive instability seems unlikely due to much more meager resources and organization.
We thank the local Goon forces for the opportunity to dock up at the citadel on orbit of Anath IV. While my rescue staff is by no means unused to treatment of rescued individuals on a Prowler in flight, a dockside makes a much more comfortable initial stop.
