Summary from the first Expedition
20 Nov 2019Saromon
On 17th October 3305, I've started my first expedition to the Unknown, but several days before that I had to prepare with everything I needed- ship, modules, and crew.I've chosen to use Anaconda (LZ-325) for my first Expedition with a significantly reinforced hull, strong shields, fighter bay, 2 SRVs, and an additional 1 person crew, to assist me in need. 4 Hardpoints - lasers. You would say that this ain't an expedition ship, but a combat one. Maybe you are right, but going long way outside civilization sounded very risky for me so I had to prepare for everything. Additionally, repair kit module and repair limpets with one of the best sensors on the market, the ship was ready to 'set sail'.
So the date 17th October 3305 came and I left the Bubble, heading to nearby star systems. Everything was already discovered, but 50 jumps after this, I already saw unexplored systems. This was a nice chance for me to shine.
Not far away from the Bubble on 18th October I've joined INTERGALACTIC ASTRONOMICAL UNION [IAU], which meets my expectations from a squadron.
After some time, I decided to land and stay in HIP 27216 for 10 days.
Synuefe GC-R B5 1-2 A 5 is a very peculiar small planet with biological life on it. The bizarre-looking trees were very peculiar for this place. The red light from the Sun trowed some horrific shadows on the ground. I couldn't know what to expect. I didn't stay for long and head for the next destination.
I've encounter one Earth-like world in system SYNUEFE JB-G C26-2 A. Planet SYNUEFE JB-G C26-2 A 5 has 2 Earth masses with a radius of 7450 KM and gravity of 1.47G. It looked so beautiful from the Hight orbit. The green and blue continents were spreading all over the planet and massive storms could be observed.
Crystal-like star structures were discovered. They looked like construction from an intelligent being. What were they? Why were they here? I've encountered them in two systems.
On 9th November 3305, I've returned to the Bubble and head to 101 Tauri, Linenger Station to turn in my exploration data. Little less than 30m Crs were more than enough for my efforts to explore. Of course, I gave the share of 4% to the hired pilot that accompanied me on my journey, but we didn't talk much. Our characters didn't match, but it was okay (After my return I made a mining run and gave an additional cut of my profit to the pilot. After this, we have decided that it is time to apart because I no longer needed her skills. With the profit of 4,949,513 Cr, she was rich and she could decide alone what to do with her profit).
Overall I'm happy that I made the decision to explore the Unknown. The feeling is so good when I see my name on the systems, that were first discovered by me. Of course, the whole data influenced IAU to rise up and take a much better position in 101 Tauri.
