Location: Fleet Carrier "Lycanthrope Hywelbane" orbiting Sothis Class F star
Ah... Stretches arms and legs paying and getting those ships (Federal Gunship, Federal Assault Ship and Alliance Challenger) from the shipyard master in the Jameson Memorial station pretty easy thanks to the Federal rank of Rear Admiral, although getting strange looks from the shipyard staff... heh ranks doesn't matter for Independents like me since it is nothing more than locked access doors to be pry opened by any means. Ahem Well I should start to do the last rank ups to the Federal and Imperial, with Federals the easiest since I can fly my Federal Corvette: Tamerlein Undbitr ship for big station landing pads that I got when I reached Rear Admiral back in 17 Jul 3306. Well that is enough for reminiscence in this datalog, time to get work went to my ship and undocking my ship to head for Sothis - Don's Inheritance station in Federal space, start the rank up by doing more "bribing", "mail delivery" and some cargo runs between Federal faction stations according to the list I made thanks to the previous information sources.
Federal Faction stations list:
Sothis:
- Newholm Station
Don's Inheritance
- Babbage Gateway
Brunel Hub
New Dawn Station
Two days passed...
Well that was fun, did combat against idiots that were sent to prevent me from delivering the data and the cargo, getting a bonus in small amounts every time they were "destroyed" although they all have bounties on their heads thanks to the Kill Warrant Scanner module I have installed to the ship. Switched out to my Imperial Cutter: Maleficent with the Cargo Rack modules to do big cargo runs for the last rank up since it got harder to rank up although getting paid well for it. Got to thank to the Federal faction head not having enough big haulers to do deliveries.... I think I understand why... Biowaste jeez that is certainly questionable, delivering waste to others for study of an outbreak that is occurring in that station sigh well got to do what big haulers do. At least it doesn't cause a stink in my ship thanks to the canisters being airtight... Although Non-Lethal Weapons and Reactive Armour is quite interesting, the civil unrest/war and riots between factions. At least I don't see what is happening on the ground or at the station although getting news snippets in the Sidewinder Radio and Galnet News about loggerheads smashing each other over minor things...
Well that was a wrap, managed to get the final rank: Admiral from Federal Navy Supply Mission sent in Mailbox when I docked Sothis - Don's Inheritance station to finish the missions left over. Now I have to head for the Imperial territory... sigh Princess Aisling Duval I wonder if she is doing good with her rule... *slapping sounds* No I should focus on the Imperial rank up, I... don't have time to meet her. Time to undock, head back to my Carrier and head for the Aitvas system.

Manage to dock and head for the bridge without any hiccups or pirates hoarding me when flying back to the Carrier. Got the Carrier Captain to plot and getting the carrier ready for the jump hopefully I don't have any hitchhiking Commanders in the Carrier although I wish I have some type of Visiting Commander Log in the Carrier database... well then time to relax on one of the Bridge chairs for the Carrier space wrap.
After two Carrier jumps in Systems: Col 285 Sector RX-B b13-1 and Col 285 Sector LH-M c7-10.
Now orbiting Aitvas M Star within the Fleet Carrier "Lycanthrope Hywelbane"
Now lets get up from the comfortable chair that I was sitting, relaxing on and head back to a different ship for this Imperial rank up, the Asp Explorer: The Star Explorer. This ship of mine is built and modified for exploring the galaxy but it is pretty useful for being a data courier. Although I'll need alot of Credits for "bribing" the officials, heh who knew that Imperials are maddening in love for money. Still as the old Earth saying:
"Money makes the world go round." Featured in a song in the 1972 musical drama film Cabaret, directed by Bob Fosse, starring Liza Minnelli, Michael York, and Joel GreyTime to undock and head for Aitvas - Flettner Survey and get this Imperial rank up going as according to the previous information sources.
Imperial Faction stations list:
- Aitvas - Flettner Survey
- Mainani - Mies van der Rohe's Claim
- Ngalinn - Hickam Survey
One day passed...
Hmmmm... well nothing exciting much passed other than the interdicts that so easy to avoid, these pirates are nothing more than parasites to shrug off, wish I had weapons modules installed but it will cost of light year jump range. Anyway jumping between the three Imperial systems, bribing and doing the data deliveries for these Imperial factions was a bit time-consuming but it was good since I get to listen to news and updates from the various news sites in the galaxy.
Finally manage to get the Imperial Rank: King by doing the last Imperial mission from Ngalinn - Hickam Survey station mission provider and the mission is the: Courier job for Imperial Naval Intelligence when I docked in Mainani - Mies van der Rohe's Claim station to deliver it to Imperial Agent. Stretches arms and legs Once more rank up is done. Still having a rank of "King" doesn't mean anything it seems but heh let see what happens in later years... Well then time to head back to my Carrier and set my destination to all the Engineers in the Bubble and get the Grade 5 access in all of them if possible.
