This article has been a couple months in the making. Ironically the only thing that took me two months to write was the exploration log.
This is my first entry into the Coldest War canon. I also plan to include it in the Third Law canon and make it the first second-ever cross-canon article.
Special thanks to Roget,

Thanks to Doctor Cimmerian,
