In the Outer Scutum-Centaurus Arm
02 Nov 2022Pisodeuorrior
The Outer Scutum Centaurus Arm is still kind of considered "the other side of the Galaxy" from the Bubble's perspective, but after the darkness of Aquila's Halo and The Void it felt like a breath of fresh air.It's still very remote, but not having to FSD boost from one star to another made it look just like any other place.
As a matter of fact, and thanks to the fact that it's a fairly large region, the journey through it was quite eventful, so, warning, full load of pictures ahead.
First off, I made a bunch of new biological discoveries, which thing finally rewarded me with the rank of Exobiology Elite.
I am quintuple Elite now, woo hoo!
Anyway, some of the new discoveries that got me there were actually quite pretty.
Along the way I found a trove of Water Worlds and Earth-Likes. I'm not ranking up to Elite Exploration any more, having recently peaked at V, but I always fly to those because, hey, I love them.
Following the indications of Canonn, I also made a little detour to visit The Amphitheatre in Slacheae CK-A d0. One of the planets in the system has one of the largest craters ever recorded, so I flew by to take a peek.
The Outer Scutum-Centaurus region also harbours as much as four DSSA Carriers. None of them had any tritium to sell, luckily along the way I made some arrangements and I'll be able to refuel at the S.T.A.R. Carrier Aurora Vectis in the Formorian Frontier. Nonetheless, I docked at each of them to pay homage.
This is the DSSA Archer's Prize.
This is the DSSA Earth Gov.
This is the DSSA Shepherd's Dream.
And finally the DSSA Solten's Alastor.
The DSSA Solsten's Alastor also happens to be parked in the middle of a beautiful nebula, which I spent some time exploring. I even found some stellar anomalies which I had never encountered before, which was much appreciated, as I believe these were the first ones I came across since I left the Bubble more than a year ago.
I know this log is already packed with images but I can't ever not post images of binary stars. These two almost fried me, but I was quick enough to launch heat sinks and fly out.
I just crossed into Hyeronimus Delta, so I'll post something about it soon.
