System status

Mark each system's status to colour the chain by intel, so the whole group can read the situation at a glance.

Status Typical use
Active A system you're working — scanning, rolling, or watching.
Friendly Blues, allies, or your own staging.
Hostile Known reds or a system to avoid.
Empty Nobody home; cleared.
Unscanned Not yet probed.
Unknown Status not assessed.

Status is a shared, visual signal. A glance at the map tells you where the danger is, where home is, and what still needs scanning — without reading a single note.
