   * 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 a maleficent deity, to devour everything green.

   * 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.
-  * There appear to be certain striking parallels to the Kallimari myth of the Lost City of Arcus here, down to the name 'Arc' recurring here and in the 'ARCOL' designation. I have no interpretation as of yet, beyond noting the coincidence.
   * 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.

-=====Arcol I=====
+=====ARCOL-B-218 I=====
 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.
-=====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.
@@ Line 56: / Line 55: @@
 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.
-=====Arcol IV=====
+=====ARCOL-B-218 IV=====
 Small gas giant, green hue. Not suitable for life. Eight moons, none of which support life, with an artificial satellite in orbit.
-=====Arcol V=====
+=====ARCOL-B-218 V=====
 Small gas giant, purple hue. Not suitable for life. 6 moons, of which one, Arcol V-M1, may be capable of supporting ammonia-based life.
-=====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.
-=====Arcol VII=====
+=====ARCOL-B-218 VII=====
 Small rocky planet, with pronounced oblate shape. Seemingly formed from two pieces of debris fusing over millennia through the force of their own gravity.
 ====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.
