Initial Discovery Report: Polyphemus and CyclopsReporter: Captain Danneille Froe
The system Polyphemus and its inhabitable planet were discovered by the crew of the free trader class ship, Robemsome out of Cassidine, captained by Danneille Froe (Human female). Crew roster for the Robemsome was unavailable at time of report filing or Captain Froe declined to provide.
Inhabitable planet, Cyclops, was briefly landed on (2 GST days). Most of the planet is barren but unusual "poka-dot" oasis' of vegetation were discovered. 100% cloud cover and high greenhouse effect reported. All lifeforms encountered had single large eye which lead to choice of system and planetary names. A primitive tool using species was encountered which injured one of the crew and resulted in immediate departure of ship. Limited photographic evidence of native lifeforms available (see attachments) but no holographic footage available.
Captain Froe provided only return jump route charts as discovery was by miss jump. (See attached astrographic charts.)
Original Discovery Report sold to Pan Galactic Corporation but database queries of the primitive sapient image were flagged by Star Law as possible hostile alien species. The partially viewed primitive conforms in some respects to the heliopes discovered on Starmist. Star Law informed PGC of system quarantine till the mater could be explored in detail.
At this juncture a multi-disciplinary team from the UPF Exploration Service with Star Law oversight and an observer from PGC is being assembled to investigate the mysteries of Cyclops. The team will be outfitted with an armed scout ship due to the potential hazardous nature of this investigation.
Star Law has code named the mission: Operation Argonaut
