Where now?

It's a strange feeling, this. I've been wanting to be a freelance pilot for so long, to be not tied to a single location like I used to be, chained to one station forever like some weird old human custom (or punishment, ancient Earth history is not my thing), and now that I finally have it... I feel a little lost. Like, where do I go next? What do I do?
One of the vets here remarked to me the other day that one of the lesser-known challenge in this line is to being able to stay the course you pick for your current goals and not spread yourself too thin. I think I get the idea of what he was talking about now. Right now I'm just about torn in a hundred different directions about what to do and where to go.
I'm flicking through the trade network and jobs list, and noticed there's a decent payout attached to a courier job going to Burojinura. Thriving industrial system, high population, multiple metal-rich worlds, and even an Ocellus station! It's almost like home! Except for it being under Imperial rule.
I've only seen Imperials from a distance before, as the ones on Gehry Port keep to themselves, mostly. Alright, I'm going to pick this up as my first proper contract. This will be fun!
