It is the start of year 2046.
After 21 years of exploration, we have discovered 16 new systems.
Those systems contain a total of 2375 bodies.
Of those, 2010 are asteroids.
Of those, 1315 are found in just two systems: Abbey and Coamo.
Abbey is two hops from home (only 6.7bkm from the home star to Abbey-A) and contains 563 asteroids.
Unfortunately, those asteroids have very, very large orbits.
The smallest orbit is 2.6bkm.
The median orbit is 35.65bkm.
The largest orbit is 297.9bkm.
To date we have surveyed 320 of these asteroids.
243 asteroids remain, with orbits starting at 22.8bkm.
If travel time between asteroids were instant, we could survey the remaining asteroids, with a single geo sensor, in about 14 months.
However, travel time is not instant.
In the past year, our three dedicated survey ships in Abbey scanned a total of 21 asteroids.
We are calling off the surveying effort, as the potential discoveries do not justify the resource investment.
