Polo Harbour – Boewnst KS-S c20-959, Planet A 2 A
Astrophotography by Corbin Moran
Polo Harbour was constructed in October 3302, as part of the Colonia Connection Highway. It used to be the final stop for travellers on their way to Colonia before they would reach their destination: however, a year later, a new colony was built in a closer system, Kashyapa. Unfortunately, this planetary base offers only basic services, neither shipyards nor outfitting are available.

The Grand Formation was an event during the Distant Worlds 2 expedition of 3305.
Organized by Mad Morans Flying Circus, this event saw 36 pilots (many of them in bulky exploration Anacondas with undersized thrusters) engage in stunts and maneuvers never before attempted by a formation of this size.
After a couple of hours of fun and thrills (and formation logistivs) the event concluded with a loop and hyperspace jump in formation.

The Venetian Nebula is a very colorful nebula, reminiscent of the Lagoon Nebula with its appearance. Due to its location on the edges of the galactic core, it is densely packed with thousands of star systems making the views from within the nebula itself some of the most spectacular explorers can experience.
The nebula is home to Polo Harbour Outpost, situated in the Boewnst KS-S c20-959 star system.
