A Wolf, at last...1130 07 May 3308 I'd been out in the black, northwest of Colonia for a few weeks, trying my hand at a sector survey. Just yesterday, on my way back towards Coeus to turn the data in to UC, I realized I was in an area rich with Wolf-Rayet stars. It's...
Journey's End2130 24 July 3307 I arrived back at Jameson Memorial, having jumped a total of over 350,000 ly over the course of nearly five months. It was a worthwhile journey, but I'm very glad to be home. The trip from Magellan's Star to Distant Angosk required...
Coming into the home stretch0320 07 June 3307 Reaching Magellan's Star took me to the south, then back north along the outer tip of the Perseus Arm, but the trip was uneventful. It made the third leg of my journey the longest, at over 96000 ly. After leaving Beagle Point, I...
Halfway0500 28 April 3307 Semotus Beacon. The halfway point. After leaving Rimor Captionem, I started to travel at a more leisurely pace. Fewer hours each day, fewer days each week. I like the extra downtime, to just enjoy the emptiness. I stopped to...
More of the same0130 03 April 3307 The galactic rim really doesn't vary much. There's not much to say about it that I haven't already said. I reached Erikson's Star, uneventfully, about four days ago, and have already traveled another 10k ly past it, towards Rimor...
A quarter of the way around0145 25 March 3307 I arrived at Salome's Diadem, 22k ly from Star One. The primary here is impressive. It's a class B of almost 250 solar radii, with a small AeBe star about 900 ls away. This one deserves a picture: The secondary is just...
Stopped for materials0415 17 March 3307 Star One was remote. I know, no kidding. But it was freaky to see nothing but distant galaxies, looking out away from the system. It was just as freaky to look the other way and see everything we have ever known or ever will know,...
The Errant Marches0245 11 March 3307 I'm nearly out of the Rift, skirting the border of the Errant Marches, headed for Star One. Still lots of good systems to scan, but nothing especially notable. Maybe the Marches will prove a bit more interesting to someone like me...
On my way16:00 04 March 3307 The Crab Nebula was stunning, of course. I spent a night there, then made my way to the Soul Nebula, to Soul Sector KM-W c1-2 3 a, where I had gone on my first long trip out of the bubble. Seeing the sky filled with the Heart...
Journey's Beginning0200 02 March 3307 I'm jumping out of Shinrarta, heading to HIP 36601 to top off the tellurium storage. With the Galactic Summit heating up and all my local obligations taken care of, it's time to venture out into the black again. This time, I won't...
