Commander's Personal Entry - October 29th, 3303

Commander Orion StarhunterShip: Type-9 Heavy
Name: Fortis Fortuna Asiuvat (Fortune Favors the Brave)
I stumbled into my quarters after sitting in the cockpit for the last hour, going over my flight plan for tomorrow's mining run.
I had sent the Type-9 out to the Deciat system to see Felicity Farseer at Farseer Inc to upgrade the Frame Shift Drive, Engines, Onboard Sensors, and the Shield Boosters. From there, I had her sent to the Wyrd system to see "The Dweller", in which that visit entailed an upgrade to the Power Distributor.
All in all, I have increased the jump range on this behemoth to about 16.36 LY (Light Years) unladen, and 14.46 LY at full capacity. Not a large jump range mind you, but the upgrade to the Type 6B Frame Shift Drive, engineered at level 3 for distance, was a large increase from the stock Type 6E Frame Shift Drive which only put out about 9 LY unladen at best. That being said, I decided to send her back to the Pan system, and get her loaded out for an up and coming mining mission in the LHS 2661 system.
Thanks to my good friend, Cmdr. Indigowyrd, the sixth planet (LHS 2661-6) has pristine rings around it, where Painite, Palladium, and Platinum can be found and refined for sale back at Xiaoguan Orbital in the Pan system for a good chunk of change.
As I finish this personal log entry, I have to thank the crew for all the hard work they have done in such a short time. It seems that no matter the task, they are more than willing to step up to the challenge that I provide. As the commander of this ship, I can't ask for any more. My first officer, Trysha Sagittarius, has finalized the resupply of our collector and prospector limpet drones, and I just finished entering the coordinates for our destination.
As of right now, it is currently 5:42:50, so I will be getting some rest in my quarters before embarking on this journey. Hopefully the name of our ship holds true, and that the Fortune we may find will favor those of us who are bold enough to enter these pristine rings, and sell our findings back at Xiaoguan Orbital in the Pan system.
Until my next entry...
