Enoch System Survey

Summary

The Enochian System is composed of a binary star system, four terrestrial planets, three gas giant planets, and an extensive asteroid field. The system is predominantly illuminated by the Enoch Prime, V-Type star (1.2 Sol equivalent) and to a lesser degree by Enoch Proxima red dwarf which orbits at an ellipsoidal angle to the planetary disc. Enoch III was identified as a likely habitable planet due to its proximity to Enoch Prime, its estimated size (1.1 Earth equivalent) and its shifting albedo (radiance), suggesting shifting cloud cover. The presence of gas giants likely limit asteroid impacts to the inner planets. Further study has been limited due to the obscuring asteroid cloud.
Below is a summary report based on advanced probes from the USCSS Del Paraiso, Colony Ship . Report has been communicated to corporate relay station on year 4, month 9, day 22 prior to entry into asteroid field.

Enoch Prime: V-Type Star

Enoch Prime presents an ideal candidate for potentially habitable planets. Its radiance is equivalent is mildly dimmer than Sol, presenting a habitable zone that likely extends from Enoch II to Enoch IV if planetary conditions are adequate.

Enoch Proxima: MV-Type Star

Enoch Proxima's ellipsoidal orbit at 13 degrees of the planetary disc generates an identifiable "wobble" to orbital telescopes. Its red dwarf radiance is minimal, though when closest to the planetary disc (roughly 7 years of every 45) may result in increases in planetary radiation, plant life, and tidal changes. At time of arrival, perihelion is 22 months away.

Enoch I

Enoch I is a size 9 (Earth-equivalent) planet in size, but its proximity to Enoch Prime likely results in violent, abrasive winds in whatever atmosphere is present. Short of a substantial magnetosphere, Enoch I is barraged with radiation from its primary star. Initial examination indicates a mineral rich lithosphere, though habitation and extraction will be highly difficult.
Priority: Moderate, possible future mineral extraction, study during perihelion.

Enoch II

Enoch II is a size 8 (so-called Super Mars) planet with a shifting cloud cover concealing surface features. Initial survey suggests thick, corrosive atmosphere with unrelenting, possibly caustic precipitation. Planetary conditions indicate dangers to equipment and staff.
Priority: Low, conditions inhibit detailed survey.

Enoch III

Enoch III is a size 10 planet (Greater Earth) with shifting albedo and cloud cover, suggesting hydrologic systems and oxygenated atmosphere. Habitability estimate are high. Additional probe survey has indicated mineral deposits along two mountain ranges. Topographical survey has been provided. Active geology has generated highland ocean (possibly fresh water) with riparian systems through mountainous valleys, terminating in wide delta regions. Flooding likely commonplace. Soil arability is promising. One minor moon orbits at an angle of 8 degrees from the equatorial plane.
Priority: High, conditions for habitation, arability, and mineral extraction show promise. Identified as Enoch Main.

Enoch IV

Enoch IV is a size 3 planet (equivalent to Luna), it appears to have a high albedo, indicating reflective (possibly ice) surface. Minimal atmosphere and no obvious mineral presence.
Priority: Low-to-Moderate, possible candidate for water filtration and extraction.

Enoch V

Enoch V is a size 14 planet (Lesser Uranus) and similar in composition to Saturn, resulting in light brown atmosphere. Minor planetary rings also present. Planetary system likely includes moons of interest, especially given its relative proximity to Enoch Prime and relevant habitable zone.
Priority: Moderate, pursue lunar survey, value undetermined.

Enoch VI

Enoch VI exhibits a dense rust-red and orange atmosphere with an ongoing, planet-wide storm. Its aesthetic features manifest for days or weeks at a time before being subsumed into the ever-changing storm. Its super-Jupiter scale (size 22), suggests it often keeps the inner planets shielded from asteroid impact. Size and substantial ring formation suggest a plenitude of moons.
Priority: High, lunar survey and potential for habitation and exotic life forms.

Enoch VII

Enoch VII exhibits an eye-like storm along the northern hemisphere of this white and blue gas giant (size 19, Junior Jupiter). It has minimal ring structure though a Luna-equivalent or greater moon has been identified. Additional moons likely present.
Priority: Low, lunar survey may highlight additional features.

Enochian Asteroid Cloud

Enochian Asteroid Cloud is a massive debris cloud that surrounds the Enochian system. Debris is dense enough to obscure some illumination from Enoch Prime. Enoch Proxima's irregular orbit likely pulls in bodies into the solar system presenting planetary threats.
Composition of asteroids appears to inhibit long-range communications. Sub-FTL relays may be required for long-distance communication. Regional messaging may be uninhibited. Contact with Company may be intermittent until relay system established.
Priority: Low, undertake magnetic study, setup communication relays.
