So the thought i would like to bounce around is this: would it be possible, (possibly throught the purchase of an expensive subscription to the "Galactic Gazetteer of Worlds", to add a large number of mysterious, dangerous and previously invisible worlds to the map, at a stroke. A whole layer of extra unregistered systems would suddenly be seen once the extra information was obtained / bough, (perhaps on a galaxy by galaxy basis), and an extra layer of danger and risk. Perhaps the information could be obtained as the fruition of an extra mission. But clearly a trip to an unregistered planet would not be undertaken lightly. However, for the most battle hardened of commanders, the rewards might sometimes be highly lucrative.Alex checked up on the planet Cirag and discovered that it was not listed with the Official Planetary Register. That was the reason for its unfamiliar name. Not to be registered was not in itself unusual. Only inhabited worlds were listed. There were millions of inhabited star systems of use to miners, traders and explorers, which could only be located by reference to the Galactic Gazatteer of Worlds. But Cirag was inhabited by intelligent beings. That meant just one thing: Cirag was an independent world, had refused Federation status, was dangerous, probably deadly, most likely the haven for freebooters and criminals, and almost certainly a system in which the general principle of 'laser first, talk second' was applied.
What say you space brethren? Is it a runner? Have you got the minerals?
(*ok so "the Dark Wheel" may not actually be mighty, but it's the closest thing to literature that the Oolite/Elite universe can boast.)
