13 JUL 3304: A New Dawn

Today, I set out in the LLV Dawnbreaker for the first time. I docked in Opet last night, and I received orders to head back to headquarters in Kamadhenu. This was to be my first official courier mission to make various intel runs and provide supplies to our various positions. I can't really go into any specifics beyond that in case I'm ever captured and this journal should fall into Fed hands. The excitement of knowing that I would cruise into port in my empirical vessel filled me with pride. This too would be the first time I got to bring along my best-friend, co-pilot, and navigator, Monkey in the new ship. Monkey is many things, brave, loyal, smart, a good navigator, he's also a cocker spaniel. He's always had my back and when I took my vows to the Empire, he was right there with me. So in a way, we enlisted together. He stuck by me when I was flying a rusty, torn up loaner sidewinder, and he was there with me as I hustled up 4 million credits by taking out skimmer drones. Good, bad, he's seen it all. He deserved to co-pilot this courier. Although, he didn't laugh when I made a joke about rigging up an oxygenated helmet for him so he could stick his head out the window on the trip in. Ha ha ha! He said that was an awful stereotype and he didn't appreciate it one bit.
