Visiting Thargoid site with Ukraine Colonist Alliance
06 Feb 2019Andrew Glock
Just back from 2-week expedition to Thargoid site located in HIP 18909 system. My friends from Ukraine Colonist Alliance arranged it and I was lucky to join them.Essentially, I just needed some meta-alloys for Felicity Farseer which I could just buy in Pleiades, but I couldn't resist that opportunity to touch amazing piece of alien civilization. Besides, it's much safer to travel in a fleet - especially when it comes to sector controlled by Thargoids.
So, we met near the beacon in Epsilon Indi system and departed in the direction to HIP 18909.
Eventually, we've reached our destination successfully (except a little incident happened to me, when my FSD dropped me out right between binary stars causing extreme overheating of my ship, but fortunately I managed to set the right vector in time and escaped with nothing but minor cooling system damage) and camped out on HIP 18909 A4 E A Planet - right outside the Thargoid site.
Ukrainians appear to be experienced explorers indeed (and that is not surprising, since they living in Colony now - far from Human Bubble). One of them even managed to bring some sort of Thargoid probe which has allowed us to get inside Thargoid site and explore it from within.
Generally speaking, everything went really well in a warm and cordial environment. And I can feel proud that I have common roots with that ancient and hospitable nation which dates back to Pre-Space Age.
One day I'd definitely visit their headquarters in Colonia...
