Starlog - Entry 9 - 26 August, 3304

Haven't put in a log in a while, been working out in the Betel system. Couple factions are at war for the system right now, one of them is aligned with the Federation. Only a few days in to the official declaration of war and the numbers aren't looking good for the independents. That's what happens when you go up against the Federation I guess, they had to have known this was a possibility.
Woke up today and couldn't find any good coffee at the station. They recommended some black tea, I don't know how people drink this stuff... Was listening to the GalNet, turns out that Imperial Princess had a secret lover and now the wedding has been called off? She certainly looks good enough to have just about any guy in the galaxy, who knows if any of it's true or not though. Could all be a scam just to break down peace talks between the Feds and the Imps, wouldn't be the first time they've made some shit up just to stay at each other's throats.
And those Far God Cultists have started disappearing, wonder why? You start persecuting people based on religious beliefs and you're sure to create some enemies. If they weren't helping or communicating with the Thargoids against humans they'll definitely be trying to now. These galactic politics are getting to be too much for me, everyone's got an opinion and they're all wrong according to everyone else. Maybe we need a good extinction event to set things right, who's to say we're supposed to be the ones spreading out over the galaxy like a disease? Because we're sentient? Because we have the methods and tools to explore and colonize the galaxy? Maybe that's not a good enough reason, or maybe it's the only reason that matters, I dunno...
Anyway, I'm getting paid to turn in dead pilot bonds not sit here and spout off philosophy... Orion, spin up the thrusters, engage FSD.
