Due to the volunteer efforts of thousands of pilots from across the galaxy, the Special Task Force on Unknown Ship Activity has released a preliminary map detailing confirmed and suspected travel routes of the Unknowns.Confirmed routes of Unknown travel include:
- Vishao's Cove to Kitara's Veil to Dahin
- Mazzeroth Maelstrom to Swooping Eagle to Glenn
- New Edinburgh to Inverness to Arduinne
- Mondara Maelstrom to Tarsis to Primus
- Freya to Akeron's Gate to Saturn
- Odin's Belt to Odin Rex to Jotunheim
Task Force officials stressed their belief that while these confirmed routes have been verified, other routes probably exist. They also said it's possible that some of the confirmed routes are linked to each other, though those links have not been positively identified yet. Two routes have already been mentioned as possible links that need further investigation -- Saturn to Glenn, and Jotunheim to Freya.
A Task Force spokesman said that while the Alien Watch did uncover several routes for the Unknowns, it also produced many more questions. Among the questions now raised:
- Why is there so much activity in Jenquai space? Are the Jenquai in league with the Unknown ships?
- Why are they stopping in Glenn? They must be hiding in Beta Hydri somewhere.
- Are they only coming in through the Maelstroms, or through other methods? DeWinter is vulnerable at Somerled. We must protect her!
- There seems to be no activity at all in 61 Cygni.
- Has anyone seen them going between Glenn and Saturn? And why only Saturn? Is there something in the rings they want?
- No activity at all in Alpha Centauri or near Earth. Could they be avoiding EarthCorps?
- Activity near Ancient Gates again ... what could this mean?
- Maybe the Progen caused all this by opening that Ancient Gate! But why aren't there reports from Lagarto?
- Why both Maelstroms?
The Task Force spokesman also reiterated the group's appreciation to pilots who participated in the "Alien Watch" that led to the travel route confirmation. In addition, he stressed the fact that the Task Force's efforts are peaceful in intent and are meant only to study Unknown activity.
