In The Tojan Belt
27 Jan 2020Pisodeuorrior
To my regret, I've now left The Veils.In fact, I've already crossed most of the Troyan Belt, reached one of my arbitrary landmarks, and turned East to start crossing into the Sagittarius-Carina Arm.
The last stop in The Veils was a beautiful nebula by the name of FLYAI FLYUAE AA-A H20.
It wasn't better or worse than most nebulae I've visited, but its peculiarity was that of being surrounded, in a radius of about 1000 light years, by a thick cloud of Neutron Stars.
This was fairly unexpected, as in the 155000 light years travelled in this journey so far, all pretty much at the same distance from the Core, I had come across only one.
It seems just a peculiarity of this neighbourhood, and almost a confirmation of the wonderous nature of The Veils.
Once crossed the border into the Trojan Belt, the magic seemed to be gone.
I did find a good deal of Water Worlds and a couple of Earth Likes, but in the same measure as the rest of the Galaxy. Nothing like the surprising troves of The Veils.
So, I'm not doing many stops, and I'm making good time towards one of the systems I had discovered in my previous trip.
In about 6000 light years I'll reconnect with my old route, and then I'll carry on counter-spinward towards the Bubble.
