 +  * The society who inhabited the world before their apparent destruction by the current inhabitants had a museum in their capital city.
 +  * The imagery in this museum powerfully conveys a now-vanished mythic reality.
 +  * They apparently interpreted the coming of the current inhabitants as a plague unleashed by their deity for sin.
 +  * This was a stratified society, earlier in its history at least, but the museum saw fit to preserve relics of ordinary people's lives, including what appear to be letters from conscripted soldiers.
 +  * The current inhabitants showed us around the museum, and allowed us to leave non-violently. It is unclear how they perceive their people's past actions. It is unclear if this was a penance, or a threat.

 +  * The expedition discovered archaeology consistent with an extinct species, whose history was preserved in a museum.
 +  * This species created art, and was capable of space travel.
 +  * The language of the current inhabitants consists largely of the clicking of mandibles.
 +  * We should approach the current inhabitants with caution and understanding. We should not attempt to take advantage of them, or engage in violence.

   * It is clear these beings are intelligent, and have a much wider scope of exploration than the guild.   * It is clear these beings are intelligent, and have a much wider scope of exploration than the guild.
   * The bulletin notes that these creatures have experience with warfare, and though I saw depictions of it, we were not treated as hostile at any point during our encounter with this species, in fact the opposite; they were gentle, inviting and curious - so I would not feel immediately afraid of these beings.   * The bulletin notes that these creatures have experience with warfare, and though I saw depictions of it, we were not treated as hostile at any point during our encounter with this species, in fact the opposite; they were gentle, inviting and curious - so I would not feel immediately afraid of these beings.

 Barren planet with very little atmosphere. Not suitable for life. Artificial satellite in orbit. Barren planet with very little atmosphere. Not suitable for life. Artificial satellite in orbit.
  
-=====Arcol II=====+=====ARCOL-B-218 II=====
 Methane-based atmosphere, though no liquid content. Very high surface temperatures, though the poles have been able to support a small research outposts during the expedition, potentially good candidates for terraforming. More research required. Very high mineral content in south pole. Two artificial satellites in orbit. Methane-based atmosphere, though no liquid content.

-=====Arcol III=====+=====ARCOL-B-218 III=====
 Planet occupied by a non-native insectoid life form. Archaeological evidence of a previously sapient species remains, though many of their structures and landmarks repurposed. Planet occupied by a non-native insectoid life form.

 Dense asteroid field, rich in sulphur. Many asteroids hollowed out and inhabited by insectoid "scout" organisms. Unlike other satellites in the system, the scouts here traverse between satellites, creating a small sub-hive within the belt. Appears to be no queen. Dense asteroid field, rich in sulphur.

-=====Arcol VI=====+=====ARCOL-B-218 VI=====
 Large gas giant, covered in surface storms. Hue ranges from yellow to orange, dependant on weather patterns. Visible rings surround planet. Dozens of moons, though count is incomplete. Large gas giant, covered in surface storms. Hue ranges from yellow to orange, dependant on weather patterns. Visible rings surround planet.

 Small rocky planet, with pronounced oblate shape. Seemingly formed from two pieces of debris fusing over millennia through the force of their own gravity. Small rocky planet, with pronounced oblate shape.

 ====Satellites A-F==== ====Satellites A-F====
 Small insectoid colonies/outposts orbiting Arcol I-IV, containing insectoid specialist "scout" organisms that seemingly act as an "early warning system". An average scouts' lifespan is ~half a year, although the exact timeframe could not be determined, and the population is replenished approximately every quarter of a year. Once a scout is taken to its satellite, it spends the remainder of its life there. Small insectoid colonies/outposts orbiting Arcol I-IV, containing insectoid specialist "scout" organisms that seemingly act as an "early warning system".
