I've been making progress! Along the road I took some time to look at the various planets I was passing by thanks to a tip I heard on the CCN messaging system. Apparently the system map can "listen in" on the atmosphere of a planet. If you listen closely enough you can tell what kind of world it is before you fly out to surface scan.
I came across quite a few of my first ammonia worlds, water worlds, and my very first Earth-like planet outside of the bubble! Many of them had some form of life, and will probably be worth a ton to future generations of colonists.
Once I finally reached my target, I was welcomed by the brilliant Purple glow of the Wolf-Rayet class star, and it's surprising 3 neighbors (all Blue-White). The purple hue seen throughout the system was truly a sight to behold.
The further pair of the system drifted so close together, it looks as if they may collide sometime in the future. For now they stay immortalized in my ship's photographs.
The final goal of this trip, before headed back to the Bubble to stock up, was the Traikeou nebula - misnamed in the Galactic Mapping as the star Traikeou AA-A h0 I had just documented. With a few photos and a star to center the Nebula upon, I take my leave for the Bubble once again!
-S.
P.S. I never did think of a better name for the nebula and it's star. They are the only structures in the Traikeou sector, and I've said that name so many times now I'm not likely to forget it. Traikeou it remains!
