Galactic Empire in New World

Part 6 Chapter 3

Star system TC72D, 431 light years from Elysia

Star system TC72D is the home system of the Iote nation. Scientists from Myto were finally able to discover a map of the area under the control of the Iote nation after spending several months searching through the files found in the intact storage system. One of the planets has been identified as the Iote homeworld, star system code TC72D, which is 431 light years away from Elysia.

Star system TC72D has 12 planets, two of which are in the goldilocks zone. One of the two planets is known from the data to be a paradise world, while the other is a planet that marginally supports life. According to the records found, the TC72D star system is a heavily developed star system, with almost all planets and large planetoids having at least one outpost.

60 small pseudomotions were spotted in the Oort cloud of star system TC72D. Each pseudomotion appears to be a capsule-like object about the size of a railway carriage. From these objects emerge another eight smaller objects, which then fire their thrusters towards the inner area of star system TC72D. It was a probe droid carrier carrying eight specialized probe droids used in space.

The probe droid carrier also acts as a holonet relay and carries its own sensors. Initial observations show that star system TC72D is an active star system, full of electronic signals, both subluminal and superluminal. Also the star system are full of traces of energy emissions.

The droid probes were sent to every source of electronic signals or source of energy emission in star system TC72D. There are only 480 droids, and 15 droids are sent to the paradise planet in the Goldilocks zone, which is the 4th planet of the TC72D star system. The rest are spread out based on predetermined priorities.

4th planet in the Goldilocks zone

15 droid probes approached the fourth planet in the Star System TC72D, and they discovered that it has 4 naturally occurring satellites, two of which are sizable (1,200 km and 800 km in diameter). The other two are much smaller, only 300 kilometers and 200 kilometers in diameter, respectively. Electronic signals and power sources are found throughout the satellites and planet. Also in orbit around the planet.

However, as the droid probe approached the fourth planet, there was no change in the activity of the electronic signals or resources. Only a number of signals changed their content, most likely an IFF interrogative. But there were no other active responses except that.
The 15 probe droids were then deployed, one probe droid to each of the smaller satellites, two probe droids to the larger satellites, four to the planet itself, and the rest would scan around the planet in various orbital planes and scan any installations or debris.

Preliminary scans showed that the planet, although full of cities and infrastructure, was devoid of intelligent life. There were remnants of orbital bombardment, though not severe. The atmosphere is not heavily polluted and can still be colonized directly. In initial scans of the existing infrastructure, including the cities, some appear decaying, but some appear very well maintained. Scans show that there are robots performing maintenance on the cities and installations that are still well-maintained.

The planet's two large satellites are also full of installations and cities. The largest satellite has a gravity of 0.7 standard gravity and has an atmosphere, although the pressure is only 0.8 standard atmospheric pressure. There was also vegetation and animals. The cities and installations also appear to be well-maintained due to the presence of maintenance robots.
The two smaller satellites also appear to be full of installations. Scans show that the smallest satellite is hollowed out, and appears to contain a shipyard and various manufacturing plants inside. The second smallest satellite appears to be acting as a military base, with a lot of weaponry and military ships still on board.
