Litter

I made my way to the newest system of the Empire, Sanctified Vidette, via one of the wormhole connections in a system with a Jove observatory - Abai. 

It is good to see the Imperial Navy there in stead of roaming Drifter fleets. But there is still work to do! The Vidette Hive is still active, even if it seems somewhat subdued. I do not know what lies at its center, now that the nexus has been captured. It is not a site that I can explore safely on my own, remnants of the defeated Drifters are still holed up there.

The fury of capsuleer fleets has also died down. I have not seen any other pilot on d-scan anywhere. However, like a horde of thoughtless tourists passing through a natural park, those pilots that participated in the reclamation left behind a lot of litter.

Everywhere you warp around, there are discarded shuttles and corvettes on d-scan. Folks may have used them to help scan down things or go check out some site or keep an eye around, and then just left them. Or perhaps they kept them in space just in case they needed to reship and get out after losing their main vessel. Whatever the reason, dumping space junk around orbit of planets, even shattered ones, is cultivating a bad habit. 

Cleanup seems to have started. Around Sanctified Vidette IX the space junk has been cleared out. So, either scavengers or the Imperial Navy itself are taking care of removing the litter.
