M32 / 4,148: Secondary Auger Array found one stellar body and three planetary bodies detected within space travel distance. Stellar body classified as Umber-III corpse star. Planetary Body Primus telluric planet .5 AU from primary, 5,000 ukm diameter, no observed satellites. Planetary Body Secondus  telluric planet 14.9 AU from primary, 9,500 ukm diameter, 8 possible observed satellites. Planetary Body Tertius, death world planet 30.2 AU from primary, 45,000 ukm diameter, 3 observed satellites. Preliminary reports negative for hostile presence. Beginnings third Augury sweep...
