Welcome to the Frontier Shas'o

Elucid
! Initial probe/scans of the sector are below:
Sector Astonis Omicron
0702 -- Unnamed Subsector
There is a crude subatomic vessel lost long ago presumably originating from 0703 -- why would it be tossed out into the void? Evidence of other objects discarded into this subsector is evident, but we'll need to do more analysis of 0703 to determine origins.
0703 Subsector Skotis (Tech Level 4 relative to our 5)--
Points of Interest:
Refueling station -- Ayacucho 1 Responding to broad hails from the Tau empire sent long before the operation, Inhabitants seem to be "sordid purveyors of decadent fun." Situation: A small ork ramship seems to be closing on this facility from outside the system, and they are presently in distress, but also wish to do business?
Space Station -- Sauk 5 Secret Military observers that apparently have been monitoring Tau transmissions for some time now, responding to our approach by launching some kind of messenger satellite out of system, likely to inform of our presence/arrival. The space station also seems to serve as some kind of Black Market for Elites in this system -- apparently spacefaring technology is not widely accessible in the sector and the richest and most powerful have their fun, and buy and sell secret information and tech in the at these outsystem locations.
Main Planet in System:
"PERO"
Atmosphere: Breatheable mix Temperature: Variable cold-to-temperate Biosphere: Tau-miscible
Population Hundreds of millions of inhabitants Tech Level TL4 (to our TL5)
Situation 1: Unbraked AI
Artificial intelligences are costly and difficult to create, requiring a careful sequence of “growth stages” in order to bring them to sentience before artificial limits on cognition speed and learning development are installed. These “brakes” prevent runaway cognition metastasis. This world has an “unbraked AI” on it, probably with a witting or unwitting corps of servants. Unbraked AIs are quite insane, but they learn and reason with a speed impossible for Tau, and can demonstrate a truly distressing subtlety.
Situation 2: Rigid Culture
The local culture is extremely rigid. Certain forms of behavior and belief are absolutely mandated, and any deviation from these principles is punished, or else society may be strongly stratified by birth with limited prospects for change. Anything which threatens the existing social order is feared and shunned.
0603 Subsector Thurid: TL3 relative to our 5. (information incomplete)
Planet Fazizad -- Scan incomplete!
Planet Prope -- There is evidence of a giant spacefaring reptile of Tau intellect and furious malice capturing our probe. Further information unknown except that after entry to the system, defense installations all over the Surface of Prope awakened, and it appears as of losing sensor integrity much of the planet began pointing atomic-level weapons at each other. Reacting with fear, threats, and posturing. We may wish to intervene before a global war erupts.
