At A Crossroad in the Sanguineous Rim
05 Feb 2020Pisodeuorrior
I've crossed the Outer Orion Spur without nothing to report, and I've arrived, for the second time, to the Sanguineous Rim.I landed here last year after crossing the Outer Arm Vacuus on my return from Kepler's Crest.
Chance has it that I'm now in the same system where I had decided, back then, to push forward towards the Tenebrae Region and close my loop of the Galaxy instead of going straight back to the Bubble from here.
Same as I did at the time, I've decided to pospone my return by a few weeks and go back to Kepler's Crest.
Point is, I have just realized that when I was in Kepler's Crest last time, after visiting Amundsen's Star, I had considered my trip almost done, so it didn't occur to me to continue East and peek at the Region of Xibalba.
Since my long term plan is now that of exploring all sectors of the Galaxy, leaving Xibalba behind means that - as remote as it is - I'd have to come here at some point just for the sake of it.
So, well, I'm doing it now that I'm at its closest.
Here's in green the path I'm going to take.
I look forward to being in Xibalba.
It's one of the most remote regions in the Galaxy, and if I decide to see the end of the Outer Arm I'll have to navigate though thin space, probably start managing my fuel properly, and gather some more materials for FSD boosts.
Again, I haven't decided yet.
Anyway, at the moment I'm displaying only the visited stars on my route plotter, so I'm sure I'm retracing my step exactly until the moment I'll have to turn East and follow the Outer Arm towards its end.
