Commander Adrella//SJCS Majestic//3307-03-24 - Readying for an expedition
24 Mar 2021Adrella
After running some combat missions for the SJC, I've decided it's time to head out into the black. I've been talking about refitting the Nightingale into an explorer and heading out on an expedition for nearly six months, and finally think it's time.I've consulted the technical schematics I drew up and outfitted the Nightingale with the modules she'll need to be repurposed as an explorer, and done some basic engineering on her. Currently, she has a jump range of over 50 light years, which is fairly impressive alone. But, once fully done, she'll be able to do 65 Ly per jump.
However, I need to gather some more materials before I can get her to that level. I've stocked up the Majestic with limpets and will be heading out to some local systems to find some Grade 5 materials. Once I've gathered what I need, I'll need to do a quick trip around the bubble for some last minute modifications. I'll then head back to Pu City and grab the Endeavour.
Before I head out into the black with a ship worth billions, I need to train on making neutron star jumps. Once I'm comfortable, I'll head back to Afli and take the rechristened Magellan to Sagittarius A, then head off the beaten track.
