RE: Libran Recon

INCIDENT SUMMARY

Our jump to Libran was conducted with one incident. We encountered a gravity well while en-route and jumped into danger close with a destroyed light cruiser's wreckage (Arrow of Artemis) in orbit over Libran. The equipment in the Raptor was slow to come up and was traced to external interference.

Passive sensors were used in the survey and recon action. We stayed hidden within the wreckage for the whole of the operation. In that time we witnessed one basestar at the northern pole of the planet. There was very little noted Raider traffic, with one Heavy Raider seen departing the surface to fly up, two life signs aboard. Two Raiders were seen on patrol before leaving.

NOTICE TO AIRMEN/NOTAM: There is a satellite network in operation above the planet that is maintaining a kind of electromagnetic interference designed to 'kill' colonial technology. While we did not enter the 'blanket', it is not advised, under any circumstances, to approach the blanket. While it does look like the satellites could easily be knocked down, it may take several to have a lasting effect on the grid or to hear a radio message broadcast from the surface.

Our recon confirmed several factors: The surface has been left without nuclear strike. Some of the local population appears to be missing, but with no sign of major military action against the planet. The EM blanket likely has killed all modern technology except for what the Cylons control. Raiders and Centurions have been witnessed on the surface, from orbit, moving about. Most of the population appears to have moved out of the cities towards more agrarian areas. The Cylons appear to have taken over the major metropolitan areas and in particular seem to be engaged in some kind of non-violent operation, but they do not appear to be destroying anything. Point of note: Cylons have working technology. Humanity does not. Major activity noticed around the Justice Center, the seat of Government, Themis Library, and the Great Temple of Artemis.

Orbit was maintained in order to extensively map all signatures and orbital vehicles and wreckage. Thermal and visible light intel available in all media. Zero radio traffic from the planet. There are zero indications that the Cylons were ever made aware we had been in the system.
