   * 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.
+  * 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.
-  * 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 believe this was chosen by a Kallimari researcher and the 'Arc' is thus to be expected, but the similarity is still intriguing). I have no clear interpretation of this 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.
