Logbook Entry: #0001[3304.08.06-21:55]
Location: Baedule System / Coye Horizons (Station)
Reason: Refuel, Repair, Resupply my "Asp Explorer"
Destination: "Nigurii" System
This past week has been worse then a visit to hell... But I am through the worst of it now and finally have some free time to write my first Log in the Logbook. I just spent the entire week running missions between the "Ngurii" system and HIP 52461 in my aging Asp Explorer for the ruling parties of those systems. The missions were supposed to be easy pay and zero risk to my health. They literally said, "Nobody will attack you while completing the missions we have for you!"
What was I thinking, those damn Imperial Nobles never tell the whole truth, just the part they think you will like to hear. I signed a fairly straightforward contract for one week of my piloting skills to be leased by each star systems ruling body. They would supply whatever needed transportation and I would make sure it got to its destination in the same condition I received it.
I was flying up to 18 hours a day smuggling documents, moving cargo, infiltrating outposts and covertly leaving with their entire Data Dumps.. But not everything worked out quite the way it was supposed too. During one of my missions I somehow pissed off the owner of a Port Town on a small landmass in the system.
It took me all week but I finished everything outlined in my contracts and made a nice sum of credits. This also enabled me to achieve the Imperial Rank of Baron as well as purchase my very first Imperial Clipper. After outfitting my new cruiser I decided to do a planetary exploration trip. To make a long story short I was flying by an outpost on a landmass and a damn skimmer crashed into me and knocked me into a defence tower. The next thing I know I am floating around in a life pod and my Beautiful New Imperial Clipper is gone...
It cost me 3,175,638 credits on insurance to replace it... Leaving my already drained account even lower. As I no longer have the funds to insure the Imperial Clipper I have put it into storage and have gone back to my Asp Explorer. It was modified for a combination of "Combat and Long Range Exploration/Planetary". So I should not have any problem rebuilding a credit cushion before I bring my Imperial Clipper out to play again.
This ends my first Log Entry!
