Survey work
- Phase 0 - Remote Survey: initial sector maps indicate the presence of stars and any other major phenomena—such as black holes and nebulae—that are detectable remotely, from outside the sector.
- Update or generate an article for every object created in this step.
- Generate a location on the SST campaign for each object.
- Features that are undiscovered and unidentified (i.e., GM level) will be denoted by a red unknown object symbol in SST; discovered features that are as-yet unidentified will be gray.
- For nebulae or other objects of a multi-point nature that would "spill" over into other sectors previously charted should instead be crafted as much as possible in a way that redirects their mass, such as into neighboring sectors that have not been mapped, including along the vertical (i.e., Z) axis.
- Phase 1 - Sector Mapping: the ship is on an ordered course that should allow it to utilize its sensors in a manner that will detect all notable system (and non-system) features, such as planetary bodies. If they do not, the features remain undetected. Use the base Difficulties (enhanced by the Strength Package) indicated for the ship's long-range sensors. All star systems will have their orbital patterns determined by this survey.
