Log 001 - Formidine Rift Run
01 Jan 2020Kris Afron
Well I'm on my way.I decided to take the scenic route to the Formidine Rift so i'm going via the California Nebula, the Soul Nebula and the Heart Nebula. My first waypoint was chosen as California Sector YP-0 B6-0, just short of penetrating the California Nebula and just over a 1000 lights from LHS 3447, 16 jumps all told. I took these shots of it on the way, it is a really nice looking nebula.
The second shot has me arrived at California Sector YP-0 B6-0, just before deciding where to head next. On consulting the galaxy map I was actually surprised to find a system out here with a human population of 10,000 so I headed for California Sector BA-A E6 and picked out a research base on the fourth planet called Mic Turner Base. I headed there for a pit stop, grabbed a decent bite to eat and refuelled. Before I left I sent my camera drone out for a look around and spotted something in the distance that piqued my interest so I got into the Scarab to go have a look.
It was a field of Bark Mounds! I'd never come across these before, assuming that they'd be a source of materials I shot a pod off one of them and immediately picked up a 500CR fine for opening fire in the fire free zone - s**t looks like I attacked somebody's pot plants!
And then I strayed onto the wrong launch pad on the way back and got done for loitering too. I'm leaving this place, it's costing me credits.
