Journey to Colonia - Day 16 - Jaques StationWe made it! A little over two weeks ago I set out from Mammon on a lark to cross an item off of my bucket list: visiting Colonia, humanity's greatest outpost outside of the Bubble. After crossing some 20,000 light years, the Colonia Nebula finally appeared...
Journey to Colonia - Day 15 - KashyapaI lost a day in another frenzied run of 68 jumps of scanning new planets as I approached Kashyapa, my last stop on the road to Colonia. During one scan I found myself nodding off at the controls, at which point Midnight insisted that I go and get myself...
Journey to Colonia - Day 13 - Polo HarbourThe sixty-odd jumps went buy in a blur of work as I hit a stretch of undiscovered systems that lasted most of my run to Boewnst KS-S c20-959 from Gandharvi. I became a scanning machine, logging a few hundred new bodies into the databanks in a few hours...
Journey to Colonia - Day 12 - Caravanserai (with a brief detour to PRISON)Many entries ago, I visited Rock of Isolation, a Detention Center floating the the dark of space in Omega Sector OD-S b4-0, and in my hubris I sat there making jokes about the size of their landing pads, all the while smugly assuring myself that it would...
Journey to Colonia - Day 11 - Gagarin Gate (Anonymous Access)So it appears that the little fine I picked up back in Skaudai CH-B d14-34 will in fact be dogging me all the way to Gandharvi. I docked at Gagarin Gate in Gru Hypue KS-T d3-31, a star inside the Vostok-1 nebula, which grew larger and more beautiful in...
Journey to Colonia - Day 10 - Skaudai CH-B d14-34After 108 jumps I finally came into Skaudai CH-B d14-34 and landed moonside at Sacaqawea Space Port, where out of boredom I decided to do a spot of bounty hunting in the rings of the beautiful red-violet gas giant around which the moon hosting the spaceport...
Journey to Colonia - Day 9 - Flyiedge GR-K b54-9I write this log entry while floating in normal space in orbit around the system's star, which is the only body in the system. I've got 45 jumps left to Skaudai CH-B d14-34 and Sacaqawea Space Port, and behind me are a slew of newly discovered systems...
Journey to Colonia - Day 8 - Flyiedge AQ-L b13-1Sitting on the surface of a planet I just mapped, designation in the title of this log entry. It's my third mapped planet. The first was in orbit around a ringed gas giant; landed on the surface and got a souvenir photo, as well as some rare minerals: ...
Journey to Colonia - Day 7 - RohiniTook a brief jump to Eagle's Landing in Eagle Sector IR-W d1-117 to deliver Yuri's message and get a little last human contact in before I hit my next stretch of depopulated space. The Landing, as some of the locals call it, is home to a famous cardsharp...
Journey to Colonia - Day 6 - Eagle Sector Secure FacilityForty jumps at around thirty-eight light years apiece to get from Omega Sector VE-Q b5-15 to Eagle Sector IR-W d1-105 at the center of the Eagle Nebula, which is out in the far galactic distance when I make my first jump. Forty jumps. The trip is...
