### IMPERIAL SCOUT SERVICE - WORLD SURVEY ###
GRX593 - Kalpana System
GRX593-IV Kalpana

The survey of the system is complete. Have appended a chart of the system and a survey map of the main world. Have observed further energy discharges on sensors and decided to make a landing at a remote point in order to refuel and to survey closer. The technological base of the world does seem to be at the iron age level (TL1). There is a deity belief system in place, and also a belief in magical powers. During first contact with the people in the surveyed area, this became the explanation for the energy discharges picked up. Of course, this can not be the case and there must be a hidden technological base for the events. There may be some indications that some of the populous exhibit skills in psionics.

The people of the region are undergoing a diaspora, due to some plague in the eastern reaches of the area surveyed. I have not attempted to explore further or to extend contact due to the risk of contamination. I would recommend a zoning status be placed on the world of at least Yellow level due to the ongoing contagion.

I can confirm that there are non-human sophonts on this world. The world seems to have been seeded by several differing forms of sentient life. As well as humans, I have encountered a Human-K'Kree cross species. The world may have been a genetic testing ground of the Ancients.

Final report to follow.
