CMDR Erasariel, personal log, March 29, 3308. Recorded at March 30, 3308, 06:55.Despite the Princess's agents' best efforts, the corporate faction won out against the Earls of Xibalba in LTT 9796. I had earned a good amount of credits fighting for the Earls on the ground, and it seems that despite the loss, Aisling's Angels remain very secure in the system. Having done my part, I went to support the HIP 109787 Collective's position in Goplang starting the 27th. Goplang had experienced a crippling pirate attack recently, so I fulfilled requests to make critical repairs and restore functionality to multiple stricken settlements in the system. I also helped out with some of the Collective's trading concerns, including a far-winded trade mission to Arek, a good 209 light-years away. Most of the trading happened to their other holdings in their home system in HIP 109787.

Some of the trade missions were to outposts which could not accomodate the Wailord, so I had my old Lakon Keelback, the Aoki Lapis, transported to Goplang. Compared to the Orca, the Keelback is much rougher around the edges and is a good deal slower, but I felt a strong pang of nostalgia - the Aoki Lapis was my primary trade ship years ago. Now, the Aoki Lapis is outfitted as a lightly armed trader with a rescue limpet for helping out stranded pilots - a couple of which I helped on the 29th.

Today, on the 29th, I had news that the worst of the damage from the pirate attack in Goplang had been repaired and trade chatter seemed very optimistic for the system in the future. Feeling my job was done, I spent most of today exporting Aisling's media materials to several systems such as Ekono and Syntheng to deepen her influence and hold on these systems. I am quite impatient and spent a couple million credits to fast-track me and put my ship at the top of the list for media materials allocation. It was quite costly; however, I know it would be worth it as this work would increase my standing within the Princess' ranks.
It has been quite a good few productive days, and I don't feel like I'm running out of steam. I'm looking forward to what tomorrow brings for the Princess!
