"Well, it's just a bit, you know -- dull at times in Colonia", my partner in crime said, putting his feet up on the console. "I mean there's Jaques Bar, but they're all out of the good stuff, and then there's the Customs people who ... well, want to spoil the party"
And so the idea was born. The citizens of Colonia have been working hard to build their new home, and now it's time they got a reward, regardless of what Customs might like to think. So with the aid of The East India Company and publicity via Lave Radio, an expedition was put together with the following goals:
This expedition is open to everyone. You don't have to bring cargo if you can't carry it - the whales will be bringing in the bulk of it, and we're glad to have any explorers, travellers, photographers, or anyone else. After all, the more ships, the more we can distract Jaques Customs on arrival.

Traikaae NJ-L b26-0Mount Rattenbury A violet mountaintop in a "sea" of aquamarine ice with a view of the majestic Traikaae Nebula in the background. Mount Rattenbury is the first route waypoint. Haulers and explorers are now leaving the near bubble, and after leaving this waypoint, the number of explored systems rapidly falls off as does stellar density.

|
|
Lysoosms OW-B b18-0George Quayle's Gulch At the base of a deep and forbidding ravine, explorers and smugglers alike can look up at a sky spotted with nebula and the stellar dust of the galactic plane some thousand light years below.

| #5 | Preae Ain IS-A d1-17 (Chisel Nebula) | 12,003.66 ly |
|
|
Preae Ain IS-A d1-17 (Chisel Nebula)Jean Laffitte's Hideout A misty valley on an icy world that rather resembles a boiled sweet. Two icy worlds orbit each other, their tidal forces gently kneading each other resulting in geysers that will sometimes fill the valleys with a faint mist which could fool you into thinking there's sometimes an atmosphere...

| #6 | Blo Aescs RR-U c19-3 | 14,982.45 ly |
|
|
Blo Aescs RR-U c19-3William McCoy Landing A plateau deep in a valley, just large enough for a gathering of ships seeking respite from the many neutron star jumps they will have undertaken to speed across the last few thousand light years. The nebula lights up the night sky and tinges the dust kicked up by ships and SRVs, giving them the appearance of fireflies. As the route approaches the Festival Grounds, many nebulas are visible in the skies over this otherwise remote, forbidding planet.

| #7 | Ooscs Aob SQ-Q c7-33 | 20,406.99 ly |
|
|
Ooscs Aob SQ-Q c7-33Issac Gulliver's Cove A valley filled with silicate vapour fumaroles, and rich with materials that can be gathered to help recharge the AFMUs that have been well-used during the previous few thousand light years of neutron star boosted jumps. The rare sight of an ice cap on a landable planet greets the expedition on arrival.
