Some interesting places to visit in the Oso System.

Have fun

Oso II

"A lush biosphere with a variety of distinct regions and climates, Oso II boasts an increased gravity much higher than Earth’s. The planet is mostly known as the home to the most developed primitive species ever encountered by the UEE. Known as Osoians, this multi-limbed race actively communicates with one another using patterned flashes of color generated by head-mounted chameleon cells. The Human scientific community extensively lobbied for the chance to communicate with an emerging life form, and Osoian communication studies are ongoing today (within the limitations of the Fair Chance Act).
Beyond the Osoians, the planet is also home to a great deal of lesser species, most of which have evolved to be entirely unlike anything discovered elsewhere to date. Though direct study is a violation of the Fair Chance Act, some scientists are able to receive permission from the UEE to establish off-world research platforms to attempt to study the species from a distance. These platforms are carefully supervised and are allowed only for short periods of time."

Station Chimera

"Observation Base Chimera is home to Oso’s rotating military contingent charged with protecting the system from outside interference. While its intention is noble, the effectiveness of that intention has been under fire recently as allegations of negligence caused a Senate inquiry into the daily operations of the base. This review revealed consistent average and below average performance reports for nearly all Army personnel assigned to the station, as well as evidence of corruption, bribery and even extortion. Despite a regular crew rotation, internal Army station reports, previously kept hidden, have corroborated the Senate’s findings and have made public Chimera’s internally well-known reputation of hosting burnouts and failures. While the situation says little for the Army’s reputation, the Senate report painted a myriad of opportunities for any businessmen willing to work outside the law. At any time desired, it was possible to pay off the local crews to avoid interception, visit Oso II and escape the system unharmed (and unscanned). Heard in the Wind “To look into the eyes of an Osoian is to look into our own past and see the potential to evolve and grow that lies within us all. For every species we encounter who we shadow with our advancements, you must ask, is there yet still a species out there by whom we ourselves will be overshadowed?” – Professor JT Collins, A Step Onto the Precipice The effects of this inquiry are still being felt today. The Imperator cited the findings in his decree to High Command to immediately restructure Chimera’s operating policy and implement consistent checks from civilian auditors to make sure it was operating ethically.

Note that the edict against travel to Oso is actually only enforced against those approaching the inner planets. A high volume of legitimate transports and other ships transit through the system on unrelated routes, to the point that a Covalex shipping hub has been established in the outer reaches."
