Entry #1: Maiden Voyage of the Bottlenose Dolphin

Savinykh Orbital | LHS 3317Not long out of the Pilots Federation space, I find myself looking up at the beat-up Type 6 that I have been flying. Not a bad cargo hauler and she has served me well so far. But it is the tourist credits that I want to get a hold of. Every port I stop in, there are always credits to be had from tourists and passengers. I can make some big money there.
Taking a stroll down to the shipyard, I see what I am after straight away. A Saud Krugar Dolphin. With the credits that I have made from transporting goods for The Future of Mutj and Zeta Trianguli Australis I can buy her outright and keep the Type 6 in storage. It might come in handy later.
I christen her "Bottlenose" named after the Earth sea creature. I few upgrades later and I head to the passenger lounge to find a fare. I'm in luck, the L 206-187 Jet Central Network has some tourists that need to get to Haise Dock in the Balatu system. Only 2 jumps away. I get them aboard and eagerly launch. Very quickly I arrive in the Balatu system and make a beeline toward Haise Dock. The maiden voyage is short and uneventful. I get paid and part ways with the tourists.
I spot my next passengers. They look a little dodgy but just want to visit a couple of systems. That seems easy. We have an agreement. Now to get some rest and I will take another easy fare tomorrow. I will take on some cargo to make some extra creds too.
