Journey to Tenebrae -- Leg 1

Mission report, time 17:00, March 12th, 3309.The squadron assembled in the Arapa system about the carrier this morning making final preparations for the journey. At 09:30 precisely, the carrier initiated its first jump to IC 2602 Sector EQ-O b6-0. Unfortunately, due to a technical problem, one of our commanders was forcibly ejected out of her landing pad and shot clear of the carrier before its hyperspace portal opened. Freya's Grace waited in the IC 2602 Sector EQ-O b6-0 system for this commander to make the journey to rendezvous.
Once onboard, the carrier progressed through Swoilz GF-E b4-0, NGC 3532 Sector JW-M b7-6, then paused momentarily in Prua Dryoae BW-T d4-28 to allow some explorers to join the carrier. Once onboard, I ordered the carrier to progress through an additional 15 jumps before pausing for the week in the Smoji XS-U d2-39 system, after spanning 8,954.28 light years.
It is 17:00. We are now only 350 light years north of the Eta Carina nebula. Our commanders onboard will use this opportunity to keep their exploration and exobiological skills sharp for the next week. Next carrier jump sequence is planned to begin at 09:30 on March 18th. Further mission reports will come as the journey progresses.
