Survey notes — cycle 12
The Rimma Trade Route resurvey closed three days early. Chart teams credit the new beacon placement at the Sullust relay, which held signal through the ion-storm cycle and let the mapping droids finish two full passes in a single window.
Supply rotation remains the limiting factor. The outer beacons burn through calibration kits faster than the Lothal depot can restock them, and the review board has asked for a consumption forecast before approving the next requisition.
“We chart at the speed of our slowest beacon. Fix the beacons, and the chart draws itself.” — Chief navigator, Survey Six
