Expedition Summary
Goal: Fleet Carrier Deployment
Launch Date: June 10th
Expected Duration: 3-4 weeks
Route: BD-22 3573 (Bubble) -> Explorer's Anchorage -> Arcadian Stream

About the DSSA
The Deep Space Support Array is a project to deploy a network of support carriers all over the galaxy to help explorers in their deep space travels. These carriers will remain in a fixed and public location for at least a full year with repair and other services open to all. Beacons in the profound night, they will provide safe harbor for anyone in need.
Expedition: DSSA Callisto's Respite
- The DSSA Callisto will take part in the Aphelion group launch event in BD-22 3573 and will depart one day after the main group. Callisto is acting as sweep carrier and will depart on June 10th
- Our route will take us, via carrier, from the Bubble to Explorer's Anchorage station in the Galactic Core where we will participate in a mining op to refuel DSSA carriers
- We will then proceed to the northern half of Arcadian Stream, again via carrier, and begin scouting systems to find an optimal location to deploy the DSSA Callisto
- A final mining op will top-off our carrier's supply of tritium, to support other carriers, and Callisto will officially deploy as part of the Deep Space Support Array
- Services offered by Callisto will include: Refuel, Repair, Armory, Shipyard, Outfitting, and Universal Cartographics
