Day 7 - Olivia Vespera

I have not kept a log entry during my time out in the black after receiving my piloting license. So much has happened is so few a days.I had traded my sidewinder in for a Cobra, then a Lakon Type 6 and finally, this beauty.
The Zombie Wasp
Its class was a Lakon Asp Explorer It as broad as a cobra with a whole lot more room in the rear. Compared my old type 6 whom I had many a lonesome boring nights travelling the trade routes in the black, The Zombie Wasp has greater visibility in it's cockpit. It's all i've ever wanted. To be alone out in the stars.
I had considered being able to do the gold run from HIP 23824 in one jump now, but to be honest, I found a better trade route out by the Guuguyni system. Yes, the Zombie Wasp will make me rich.
it was a little touch and go when I first bought it all the way over in the Chimera system (didn't have the credits for size 5 Frame Shift Drive) but that's another story to be told another time. Right now, My Zombie Wasp is perfect.
The Prismatic Imperium
Since I started travelling the stars a lot has changed about my outlook on things. Especially with regards to slavery and democracy.The galaxy is vast and so different in each part, even in our little corner of it. I had found myself drawn to the light of the Prismatic Imperium and its Empress, Aisling Duval. Their ways are not the ways of democracy and the federation of the my home system.
It must seem odd to pledge support such a young(though charismatic) leader whose empire legalizes slavery but it's not exploitation at all. It's all part of a vocation system they adhere to. One of which each and everyone upholds voluntarily. And it's not like the imperial slaves aren't paid. They are, and well for their work. They're not like slaves in the slave trade from other sectors. I think that's what drew me to them. Their Empire's decency and humanity in all things.
That said, Aisling Duval treats her subjects well. I hope to see good things come from her in the future.
How did I come into contact with the empire?
Through my initial finding of the gold route between HIP 23824 and Ienpalang. It served me well even as I said, it was lonesome and repetitive. Both systems are empire owned and Ienpalang happened to be controlled by the Prismatic Imperium (The other by Zemina Toval's empire) I got to know the hanger and control crew at Schuster Station and shared with me news of the imperium.
So yes, beyond my change of heart regarding imperial slavery and empires as a legitamate form of government and the constant harrassment by Federation Ships due to whom I had pledged (bastards really). That should be all.
This is Commander Olivia Vespera,
