I am on my next leg of my journey. Once again I am visiting a lot of giants. There are a lot of M-class giants, a few K-class giants, another CN-class star, a S-class star and some other oddities. This leg starts off well with a system that contains an ELW, terraformable water world, ammonia world and 3 terraformable HMC's.

[ 09 04 3308 | Inferred location: Schu Greau GH-U e3-5 ]
Planets with a single biological signal are usually not that interesting. When they have geological activity though, you can find more interesting stuff. In this case I found "pumpkins". Not realy ones of course. They are called anemones. They are scattered across the landscape, and I took a photo of a few of them with the planet in the background.


GIANT PUMPKINS

[ 09 04 3308 | Inferred location: Phrae Gria SR-W d1-4 ]
For some reason I just keep expanding my already long list of waypoints. I sent my list of types and distances from the starting point to other commanders fighting for the Princess back home, and one mentioned that there was a gap of 1300 ly in the middle. So the next waypoint I looked around my current waypoint instead (because that is logical, really!) and added 7 more waypoints. Of course I don't know how far it is from the starting point, so I marked them with a question mark in my waypoint list. This particular star is my second S-type star, the 19995th discovered S-type star.

[ 09 04 3308 | Inferred location: Phrae Gria MW-W d1-8 ]
Another S-type star. I feel like I am hogging all of the S-type stars, but it is only 0.015% of them. In fact, I appear to be 'hogging' the largest share of K-class giants with me having the first discovery on 0.077% of them. The lowest percentage for stars I have at least one discovery on is for neutron stars, with a percentage of 0.0029%.

[ 10 04 3308 | Inferred location: Phrae Gria OH-V d2-5 ]
I landed on a run-of-the-mill icy planet. The landscape looks a lot more interesting than the fast majority of icy planets I land at. I can see the ringed planet it circles around just over the horizon, with various hills and mountains scattered around the place.


AN ICY PLANET

[ 10 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairoae AQ-Y f49 ]
This is a weird system. It just consists of a LOT of stars. Seven main stars, two stars in orbit around the latter three, and a single planet that somehow survived between all that starry onslaught.


SO MANY STARS

[ 10 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairoae BW-T c4-0 ]
I arrived in a system that has 4 water worlds, two of them terraformable. This might be a decent candidate for colonisation.

[ 11 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairoae TD-B d10 ]
Do you ever find yourself in a position where you have plenty of something, but it is so easy to get more of it, and end up with a ridiculous amount of that? Well, it's kind of like me and giants and super giants. Everytime I look around for more I add more and more waypoints to my list. The upside is that I get another CN star, a BI, and a GI.

[ 12 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairoae NM-W d1-11 ]
Another CN-star scanned. I hope to find a couple more before the end of my trip.

[ 12 04 3308 | Inferred location: Kyleae Greau VO-A f0 ]
Discovered my second B-class super giant. This is the 7901th discovered super giant. A seriously rare star. There is also a cozy Herbig Ae/Be chilling further inward.


B CLASS SUPERGIANT

[ 13 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairoae AA-A g3 ]
I found a B-class star that was both heavier and hotter than B-class stars I usually find. The records for those are true freak of natures, but this one is at least quite special for the B-class stars I have encountered so far.

Additionally there are 18! planets around the secondary star, a Herbig Ae/Be. A system that seems just truly random.


A FREAK OF NATURE

[ 13 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairoae EB-X e1-6 ]
A few waypoints ago I visited that rare BI-star. One of the few stars that is even more rare is a G-class super giant (GI). This system contains the 3619th discovered G-class super giant. I love finding gems like these. It is on average only 44K cooler than the hottest GI on record. Unfortunately not a record, but a rare find nonetheless.

[ 13 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairoae LK-Q b21-0 ]
I landed on yet another ice planet. For some reason this landscape, plain as it is, speaks to me. Despite it being an icy wasteland for over 90% of the terrain I can see.


CHARMING ICE PLANET

[ 16 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairou XJ-Q d5-23 ]
I am getting closer to some nebula it seems. I noticed a couple near each other in the distance, and I like the view.


A HANDFUL OF NEBULAE

[ 16 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairou CB-N d7-1 ]
Dropped into the system facing a White Dwarf and a M-class star. It looks nice. [screenshot]


A NICE DUO

[ 16 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairou ZK-N d7-12 ]
In my original planned route there was a 1200ly gap between my waypoints. Only 24 jumps. So naturally I added 23 waypoints in between. Now I probably have to jump three times as much, if not more.

I wonder if space madness is setting in. Maybe I am already mad. Is that a Thargoid crawling over the hull??? Just kidding... unless.

[ 16 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairuae UA-N d7-11 ]
Arrived in a system that contains a lot of bodies with a lot of rings. I am going to land on one of the moons for some biological data.

[ 17 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairuae GD-J d9-19 ]
I made it to one of my waypoints. Curiously it had not one, but two giants. The second giant is almost the size of a normal M-class star, and fairly close to the record holders for lightest and smallest stars. Alas, it is slightly larger and heavier than those records, so I will have to look around more.

[ 17 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairuae ER-D d12-9 ]
Found a moon in this system with 8 different biological signals on one planet. Obviously I have to at least see what is there. Unfortunately for me it is ~100k ls out.

[ 18 04 3308 | Inferred location: Thrairuae OS-U f2-18 ]
There was a random black hole between all these giants. Not much here though.


A WALL OF FUNGI

WHERE IS THE COMMANDER

[ 22 04 3308 | Inferred location: Phrio Greou IX-K d8-19 ]
I am coming to the end of the current leg of my journey. On my way to another M-class giant I found another system with 6 high-value planets, for a total of just above 19m. If I weren't already filthy rich I would be at the end of this journey. Now it will just fund the Princess.

[ 22 04 3308 | Inferred location: Phrio Greou YK-F d11-24 ]
I did have a 'long' string of jumps, so naturally I looked around and added a couple of systems to my list. In this system I found another of those low Zirconium Monoxide type stars.

[ 23 04 3308 | Inferred location: Phrio Greou ON-B d13-18 ]
Today I have been driving around this planet to map all the biological signals. The planet itself is... ugly. I did manage to frame one of the plants nicely though, and I am happy with the picture that came out of it.


GREETINGS FROM PHRIO GREOU ON-B D13-18 on Inara Gallery

[ 24 04 3308 | Inferred location: Flyua Flya BA-A g10 ]
I put this system on my list because it looked interesting. Unfortunately there is just the 4 stars here and nothing else.

[ 24 04 3308 | Inferred location: Flyeia Flya AF-A d23 ]
Made it to my final waypoint of this leg. It took quite a bit of effort to get here, mostly due to me adding more and more waypoints in between. It looks like I had 101 systems with giants on the list in the end, and a couple more with interesting features.

The view from down here is nice. The core is easy to make out, as is the outer edge of the galaxy. I had hoped the arms of the galaxy would be easy to make out, but it looks mostly like a blob of stars, with the fast majority in the middle and it thinning out the further you get to the outside.

I am not sure what I am going to do next. The few messages I get from the bubble suggest that things are heating up over there, so I might want to get over and help. That said, I am almost 40k ly away and it will take some time regardless, even if I neutron jump all the way. Instead I might finish the next leg into the core, and then make my way over to Colonia. It would be my first time visiting there and I am looking forward to visiting humanity's best attempt at colonisation to date.
