A New Voyage
20 Feb 2017Robert Phillips
Having bumbled around the bubble for a couple of months, I have earned my fortune. Making money is too easy, and I felt the call of the unknown.I decided to head off on another trek amongst the stars.
This time, I would take something a bit bigger - my Anaconda, The Millennium Dustbin.
As any good commander will tell you, you should never rely on any equipment that hasn't been tested, so I bought some passenger cabins and gave her a shakedown cruise by carrying passengers to nearby stellar tourist spots.
Her maiden voyage took us to Sol's true north star at Wregoe TV-L C24-0. On the way, I happened across some Iron Magma Geysers at HIP 61301 2 B (Lat: -1.2052, Long: -115.2477). They are in a deep ravine, and carry on up the side of the cliff to the top:
Nearby star systems have some great planets to explore, including this strikingly beautiful ice planet at Wregoe YV-D C28-1:
I then headed towards the Fine Ring Sector and stopped off occasionally to see some binary stars at Praea Euq JB-D c13-0:
And a bright star at HD 121402:
My next stop would be Shapley 1 (AKA The Fine Ring Nebula).
