Diamondback Explorer - 1
Plain open fields. Looks like the Sahara if only I'd be flying on good old Earth. Which I don't. The housing looks different as the roofs of several tents seems to have been left open. Again messages about "strange cargo" and "hush hush". Sirius Corp is even mentioned. I can't imagine why people would settle down here in plain sight and as silent as any dark void could be imagined. It must have been a dull place and clearly the crew thought the same: "Cargo dropped. Turned about and on our way back to civilisation."... (source)

In late 3302, Alessia Verdi, a commander associated with the enigmatic CMDR Salomé, set up an exploration community goal (Directive Two) on behalf of the Children of Raxxla. The goal was to retrieve and analyze as much survey data as possible from three specific regions. Those regions being the Formidine Rift, The Scutum-Sagittarii Conflux, and Hawking's Gap (Lin-Shu Hollow).
On analysis of the data, CoR Intel discovered the location of several navigational beacons in each region, that in turn provided the planetary location of several settlements. (Source)
These settlements turned out to be staging posts for a mysterious 'Dynasty Expedition' that had traversed the location three decades earlier and had set up bases there.
