I’ve just concluded my journey on the Apollo 14 Expedition, well ahead of schedule. It has been an enlightening trek, from the early rendezvous near Sol to the more distant reaches along the route—each waypoint a vivid reminder of our enduring legacy among the stars.

Though I arrived at the final waypoint earlier than planned, the camaraderie of fellow commanders made every jump worthwhile. Charting astral phenomena and collecting data for the research teams was akin to walking in the footsteps of pioneers from ages past.

Now, I’m headed back to Jameson Memorial to restock and regroup, the bustle of its docks serving as a welcome change of pace after so much time in the black. I’m proud to have contributed to this collaborative venture, further proof that our boldest dreams still guide us to new horizons.

For now, I’ll pause and prepare for whatever calls me next—content in knowing that our expedition has left its mark on my log—and on my soul.

Well, after having to abandon the 42 expedition early, this time all seems going as planned. I have a fully engineered Mandalay and made it to the first checkpoint of the Apollo 14 Expedition, Drojia YW-B d13-4, ahead of time. So I've quite a lot of time to explore the surrounding systems before the voyage continues to the next checkpoint.

I've never been from the Bubble to Colonia and back multiple times within two weeks. That Mandalay is amazing. And now I'm almost done with the engineering and am prepared for the Apollo 14 expedition. Only ten days to go. I'm kind'a exited.

SHINRARTA DEZHRA - JAMESON MEMORIAL

I finally made it. I've returned safely from my first deep space exploration. On my way back I almost lost my FSD, wich got damaged when I utilized the jet from a neutron star. Since then it failed every now and then. But: here I am, ready to get a better suited ship for my next trip.

THAILOAE SB-O C9-4

I've reached the final destination of my first exploration expedition. Tough little ship. At least on short to mid distance. If I want to travel to the far end of the galaxy I have to get a better ship first. For now I'll plot a course to SHINRARTA DEZHRA. The "Jameson Memorial" station should have what I'm looking for.

STATUE OF LIBERTY SECTOR DL-Y D26

Reached the destination of stage three of my journey, a star in the middle of a nebula called "Statue of Liberty". An amazing view. The next stage will lead me to another nebula, called "Eta Carina". I'm curious what I'll see there.

BYOI THAE FH-Y B0

Finally reached the end of stage two. Nothing out of the ordinary happened so far. Right here there is only a lonely star, which provides fuel, at least. For now I will refuel an plot the course for stage three.

BLAA EOQ JO-P C22-3

Mapping of this system takes more time than expected. But I think it's worth it.

BLAA EOQ JO-P C22-3

I'm almost at the end of stage two, BYOI THAE FH-Y B0. I just discovered an unknown ammonia world. Of course I mapped it. There are some interesting planets in this system.

Another lesson I learned during stage two: the computer plots the course quite well, but in order to refuel I had to leave the route every now and then to visit a fuel star.

PRUA DRYOAE NO-J A77-2

Finished the first stage of my expedition. Everything went well, until now. I'm now in a region of the galaxy, where less systems are known, let alone charted. I'm curious what I'm about to discover from this point on.
